This review is for HAPBEAR Yoga Blocks 2 Pack – 9x6x3in High-Density EVA Foam
Being relatively new to the yoga-fitness realm as an older woman, I never gave one thought to the gripability of yoga blocks. I mean they're all the same, right? Ah, well I've learned, that depends on what you're using them for, and yes, it matters.
For me at least as a beginner, these serve as a way to make poses easier and bridge gaps until I can perform the deeper, more advanced poses. I like that they are super sturdy. Again, I never thought much about a yoga block having hand grips, but when for example I'm doing a modified downward dog, being able to grip onto the "handle" makes me feel much more in control and able to listen to my body over fearing I'm going to wobble and crash. That's important, because so much of fitness I'm learning IS in our minds and going slowly as we progress.
I also do a lot of floor functional NRE type work, and work on my feet and arches so in that regard also the stability is appreciated. In that of course I don't use the grip side, but the regular, flat side. They are a fairly good weight, so I again I don't fear tipping when I'm standing on them. That being said, sometimes I do find that I *want* the softer blocks for foot training because the goal is to force stability in the ankles and arches, not having it provided for me. For reference, I am 5'7" and wear a size 9.5 Xwide women's shoe. Get yourself some toe-yoga socks while you're at it, and you won't regret those either. (Fourloo Brand/6 pr)
I compared the measurements of these blocks to some "regular" that I bought awhile ago, and while they are the same dimensions 9"x6"x3", for some reason these HAPBEAR brand feel larger.
This pack also included a small, spikey roller ball for muscle knots (hello rhomboids!), and a stretching strap. Although I will tell you, the strap is NOT stretchy at all. It is solid, and the hand/foot holes are very small. Maybe a person could let a child use this to encourage fitness and stretching or what I did with it is over my head and back for shoulder blade/rotator cuff motion. Just know it's not a stretch strap in what we're probably expecting there.
November 2025, these come in at a cost of $30 for 2 blocks. I've found that your everyday "plain" blocks are much less expensive, so the value in these again, will depend on what a person is using them for and/or hoping to get out of them.
I will say these blocks, while "textured" aren't themselves what I would call a grippy texture, it's more an ultra-fine pebble texture, barely noticeable on the surface, but it does seem effective in preventing slippage.

Good value
I didn’t have super high expectations when I bought these, but they turned out to be really solid yoga blocks.The foam is firm enough to actually support weight without feeling stiff or uncomfortable. I use them for deep stretches, down dog, and hip openers, and they feel stable — no wobbling or collapsing when you put pressure on them.The textured surface makes a noticeable difference. Even when my hands get a bit sweaty, they don’t slip, which makes poses feel a lot safer. The size is standard and easy to work with, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced.They’re lightweight but not flimsy, so moving them around during practice is easy. Having two blocks is also very convenient for balance and symmetry.Overall, these are simple, well-made yoga blocks that do exactly what they’re supposed to do. Great for yoga, Pilates, or general stretching at home. Definitely good value for the price.

Sturdy and lightweight yoga blocks
These yoga blocks are exactly what I needed. They’re lightweight but feel very sturdy and supportive during stretches and poses. The size is perfect, and the non-slip surface helps keep them in place, even when my hands get a bit sweaty. I use them for yoga and stretching, and they’ve made a big difference in comfort and stability. Great quality for a 2-pack and easy to store when not in use.

Great Combo And Quality
The yoga blocks are sturdy and strong, the special design makes them be comfortable to hold. Exactly what I needed. The massage ball is small but very useful, better than expected.

Reliable Support
I am thoroughly impressed with it; it provides a perfect balance of firmness and comfort; it doesn’t compress under weight, offering stable support for deep stretches and advanced poses. The non-slip textured surface is a game-changer, providing a secure grip even when my hands get sweaty during a long Pilates session. They are the ideal size and remarkably lightweight, making them easy to toss into my gym bag.

Handy and good quality yoga block set
It came with a well packaged in one. No bad smell, really handy and design friendly for small hand. Easy to use, and the quality is good. Making with different levels of the stripes making easy to know what I am choosing for the stretch. The color is same as picture but it looks even better than the picture. It support well for when I do the yoga.
