Decision checks
Texture and firmness are personal. Start conservatively and follow suitable guidance instead of assuming more pressure is better.
Check whether the roller length supports the intended position and whether it can be stored without becoming a trip hazard.
A basic roller can be the better purchase if it is used consistently; a specialised texture adds value only when preferred in practice.
