Dispensing systems with floating support rollers

Various dispensing systems with floating support rollers are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the dispensing system can include a housing, roll support arm, and a dispensing mechanism that can enable dispensing of tissue from a roll mounted on the roll supporting arm. The dispensing mechanism can include a main roller and a support roller. The support roller can move from a first position to a second position in response to a user pulling on a tail end of the tissue. The support roller can be biased towards the first position and can apply a compressive force to the main roller in the second position. The compressive force can urge the tissue towards the main roller and can provide improved tissue support.
