The Goplus 3-in-1 Plyometric Jump Box is the pick if weight decides it, at a stated 7 lb. Most buyers compare foam density first. That is not the number that separates these five. What separates them is the height range and the stated weight, because those two figures decide whether one box covers your whole training range and whether you can actually carry it. A box with three flip heights replaces two or three fixed boxes. A 7 lb box moves room to room; a 13 lb box stays put. Read the size and load claims before the foam blurb. In this guide 1.

Every one of these five claims a dense EPE or high-density foam core, so foam is a tie, not a tiebreaker. The best portable soft plyo box is decided by two figures you can compare directly: how many heights the box gives you, and how much it weighs. Height range matters because it sets your training ceiling. Four of these five flip between 16, 20 and 24 in. The Yes4All caps lower, at 16, 14 and 12 in, which is a beginner range. The Philosophy Gym box is a single 12 in unit that stacks with others sold separately. Weight decides portability, which is the whole point of a soft box over a wooden one. The Goplus lists 7 lb. The Philosophy Gym lists 13 lb. That gap is the difference between grabbing it one-handed and dragging it. Load capacity is your third check. The claims run from 350 lb up to 440 lb across this set. All comfortably clear most users, so treat it as a safety margin, not a deciding spec. ## Best portable soft plyo box at a glance | Pick | Height range | Stated weight | Price | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Best overall**[REP 3 in 1 Soft Plyo Box](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GVQ1ZFL?tag=schtickdisc-20) | 16 / 20 / 24 in | Not listed | [Check Price](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GVQ1ZFL?tag=schtickdisc-20) | | **Runner-up**[Goplus 3-in-1 Plyometric Jump Box](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GM69BC8R?tag=schtickdisc-20) | 16 / 20 / 24 in | 7 lb | [Check Price](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GM69BC8R?tag=schtickdisc-20) | | **Best for beginners**[Yes4All 3-in-1 Soft-Padded Plyo Box](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Y8Q4VKL?tag=schtickdisc-20) | 12 / 14 / 16 in | Not listed | [Check Price](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Y8Q4VKL?tag=schtickdisc-20) | | **Best budget pick**[BalanceFrom 3-in-1 Foam Plyo Jump Box](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQB9LRDZ?tag=schtickdisc-20) | 16 / 20 / 24 in | 10 lb (size label) | [Check Price](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQB9LRDZ?tag=schtickdisc-20) | | **Best for heavy use**[Philosophy Gym Soft Foam Plyo Box](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SPSBR5X?tag=schtickdisc-20) | 12 in fixed | 13 lb | [Check Price](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SPSBR5X?tag=schtickdisc-20) | ## How I ranked these five boxes I set the criteria before I opened a single listing, then weighted them. Here is how I split the decision, and why each weight sits where it does. 1. **Height range, weighted heaviest.** A three-height box does the work of three fixed ones. That is the reason to buy a soft cube over a plywood box. 2. **Stated weight, weighted second.** Portable is in the query. A box you dread moving stops earning its floor space. 3. **Load capacity, weighted third.** All five clear the bar for most users, so it breaks ties rather than makes decisions. 4. **Published warranty, weighted last.** Only two of the five list one, so it rewards the boxes that publish it without punishing those that stay silent. The profiles fell out of those weights. Someone who wants one box for their whole progression needs the full 16 to 24 in range, which points at the REP and the Goplus. Someone starting from step-ups needs a lower floor, which is the Yes4All at 12 in. Someone who wants the cheapest working box lands on the BalanceFrom. Someone who plans to bolt boxes together for a taller platform wants the Philosophy Gym with its self-fastening straps. ## 1\. REP 3 in 1 Soft Plyo Box — Best overall **The REP covers the widest useful jump range in one fully assembled box, which is why it takes the top spot.** [![REP 3 in 1 Soft Plyo Box in black showing three flip heights — proves one box scales from step-ups to 24 in jumps](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Zapf0jtgL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GVQ1ZFL?tag=schtickdisc-20) **Best for:** someone who wants one box that scales from step-ups to 24 in jumps **Skip it if:** you need something lighter than the listed medium size The REP's edge in this set is its flip range paired with the listed medium 24/20/16 in size, giving you all three working heights in a single cube measuring 16 x 24 x 20 in. That range is the ceiling most home athletes will ever need. REP says it ships fully assembled, so there are no tools and no setup between the doorstep and your first jump. The foam story matches the field. REP describes a dense foam core under an anti-slip vinyl cover, which the listing says resists tipping and sliding during box jumps. That is a claim, not a measured result, but it is the same claim every box here makes, so the REP is not behind on it. The trade-off is transparency on two fronts. This is the most expensive pick here, and the listing does not publish a weight figure, so you are buying portability on the promise that a foam cube is light rather than on a number. Only one seller lists it. Against the Goplus, which states 7 lb and a warranty, the REP asks you to trust the brand instead of the spec sheet. **Pros:** - Full 16, 20 and 24 in flip range - Ships fully assembled, no tools - Anti-slip vinyl cover claim - Clear stated footprint of 16 x 24 x 20 in **Cons:** - No published weight figure - The most expensive pick here - Only one seller lists it - No stated warranty [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GVQ1ZFL?tag=schtickdisc-20) ## 2\. Goplus 3-in-1 Plyometric Jump Box — Runner-up **The Goplus matches the top box's height range while publishing the numbers the REP leaves blank.** [![Goplus multi-color soft plyo box with three flip heights — proves the same 16 to 24 in range at a stated 7 lb](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41lXA+iXGRL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GM69BC8R?tag=schtickdisc-20) **Best for:** someone who carries a 7 lb box to class **Skip it if:** you want a longer stated warranty The Goplus is the runner-up because it delivers the same 16, 20 and 24 in flip range as the REP while telling you what it weighs: 7 lb. That is the lightest published figure in this set, and it is the reason this box wins on portability. Goplus says the cube supports up to 352 lb, which clears most users with room to spare. Goplus describes a dense EPE foam core under a tear-resistant PU cover, and calls the surface easy to clean. It lists a 90 day warranty against manufacturer defects, which is short but is more than the REP publishes. This is the second-cheapest box here, so you pay less than the REP for a box that states more. Where it slips behind the REP is finish and documentation depth. The 90 day warranty is the shorter of the two warranties in this set, and only one seller lists the box. The REP ships fully assembled and states its exact footprint; the Goplus leans on the weight and capacity figures instead. If a single portable box for your whole range is the goal, this is the value version of that plan. **Pros:** - Lightest published weight at 7 lb - Full 16, 20 and 24 in flip range - 352 lb capacity claim - Second-cheapest pick here **Cons:** - 90 day warranty is the shortest option - Only one seller lists it - No stated assembled footprint - Lower capacity claim than two rivals [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GM69BC8R?tag=schtickdisc-20) ## 3\. Yes4All 3-in-1 Soft-Padded Plyo Box With Wooden Core — Best for beginners **The Yes4All starts lower than any flip box here, which makes it the safest entry point for new jumpers.** [![Yes4All soft-padded plyo box with wooden core and vinyl cover — proves a 12 in starting height for beginners](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zmLhs5p3L._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Y8Q4VKL?tag=schtickdisc-20) **Best for:** shorter jumps starting at 12 in **Skip it if:** you already clear 20 in jumps The Yes4All is the beginner's box because its range runs 16, 14 and 12 in, giving you a 12 in floor the other flip boxes never reach. Its listed footprint is 12 x 16 x 14 in, the most compact in the set. A lower starting height means a lower stakes first rep, which is exactly what a new jumper wants. Its construction sets it apart. Yes4All describes three layers: a wooden core cushioned with EVA foam under a vinyl cover, where every other pick here is foam only. The listing claims a 440 lb capacity, the joint highest in this set, and it carries a 1 year warranty, the longest here. It was released in 2022. The reason it is not ranked higher is its ceiling. Topping out at 16 in, it runs out of progression the moment you can clear a 20 in jump, where the REP and Goplus keep going to 24 in. It sits mid-range on price for that shorter range. Two sellers list it, more than most of this set. Buy it to learn the movement, not to grow into it. **Pros:** - Lowest starting height at 12 in - Longest warranty here at 1 year - 440 lb capacity claim, joint highest - Wooden core adds structure to the foam **Cons:** - Tops out at 16 in, no room to progress - No published weight figure - Mid-range price for a shorter range - Confusingly labelled size and colour fields [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Y8Q4VKL?tag=schtickdisc-20) ## 4\. BalanceFrom 3-in-1 Foam Plyo Jump Box for Home Gym — Best budget pick **The BalanceFrom gives you the full three-height range at the lowest price position in this set.** [![BalanceFrom multi-color foam plyo box for home gym — proves the full 16 to 24 in range at the entry price](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41GkVYNMwaL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQB9LRDZ?tag=schtickdisc-20) **Best for:** the lowest price position in this set **Skip it if:** you want a published warranty The BalanceFrom is the budget pick for one plain reason: it is the cheapest of the five and still flips through the full 16, 20 and 24 in range. Its size label reads 16 x 20 x 24 in at 10 lb, so you get the same working heights as the REP and Goplus for less money. The listing claims a 350 lb capacity. BalanceFrom describes a high-density foam core under a textured PVC exterior for traction during jumps and step-ups. Those are the standard claims for this category, and the box meets them on paper. It suits HIIT, box jumps, split squats and push-ups, per the listing. The compromise is documentation, not capability. There is no published warranty, where the Goplus lists 90 days and the Yes4All a full year. The stated weight field reads oddly, and the 10 lb figure comes from the size label rather than a clean weight spec. The 350 lb capacity is the lowest claim in this set, though still enough for most users. If price leads your decision and you can live without a warranty, this box does the job the REP does for less. **Pros:** - Cheapest pick in this set - Full 16, 20 and 24 in flip range - Textured PVC surface claim - Broad exercise range on the listing **Cons:** - No published warranty - Lowest capacity claim at 350 lb - Inconsistent weight fields on the listing - Only one seller lists it [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQB9LRDZ?tag=schtickdisc-20) ## 5\. Philosophy Gym Soft Foam Plyo Box — Best for heavy use **The Philosophy Gym trades a flip design for a stackable single box built around a 440 lb capacity claim.** [![Philosophy Gym black soft foam plyo box with self-fastening straps — proves stackable design for a taller platform](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41xu1AU2iBL._SL500_.jpg)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SPSBR5X?tag=schtickdisc-20) **Best for:** a 440 lb capacity claim and stackable straps **Skip it if:** 13 lb is too heavy to move often The Philosophy Gym box is the odd one out, and that is the point. It is a single 12 in unit, not a flip cube, and it is built to stack. Philosophy Gym says the box has self-fastening straps to connect to other boxes sold separately, so you build height by adding units rather than flipping one. It measures 12 x 28 x 28 in, the widest top surface here, and weighs 13 lb. Its claims lean toward durability. The listing describes a high-density EPE foam core encased in heavy-duty PVC fabric, rated for commercial and home use, with a 440 lb capacity, the joint highest in the set. It carries a 90 day limited warranty. The reasons it lands last for most buyers are height and weight. One box gives you a single 12 in platform, so the three-in-one convenience the rest of this set offers is gone unless you buy more boxes. At 13 lb it is the heaviest here, which cuts against the portable brief. It is also a premium price position. Choose it only if you want a wide, stable landing surface and plan to stack. **Pros:** - 440 lb capacity claim, joint highest - Widest top surface at 28 x 28 in - Self-fastening straps for stacking - Heavy-duty PVC fabric encasing **Cons:** - Single 12 in height, no flip range - Heaviest box here at 13 lb - Extra height means buying more boxes - Premium price for one platform [Check Price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SPSBR5X?tag=schtickdisc-20) ## How portable are these boxes, really? Portable is in the search, but the listings only half support it. Two of the five publish a clean weight figure, so for the other three you are reading between the lines rather than comparing a number. Judge portability yourself before you buy, using what each listing actually states. Here is where the weight data lands across this set: - **Goplus:** 7 lb, the lightest published figure and the easiest to carry - **BalanceFrom:** 10 lb per the size label, mid-pack - **Philosophy Gym:** 13 lb, the heaviest, though it stacks rather than flips - **REP and Yes4All:** no published weight, so treat portability as an open question A soft foam cube is lighter than a wooden box of the same height, which is the whole reason this category exists. But "soft" does not mean "featherweight". A 24 in cube still has bulk even at single-digit weight, and the wider footprints, like the Philosophy Gym's 28 in span, are more awkward to wrap your arms around than they are heavy. If you move your box daily, the Goplus at 7 lb is the safe call on the numbers you can actually see. ## One-height versus three-in-one flip design Most of this set flips. Four of the five give you three heights in one cube by turning it onto a different face. That design is the reason a soft plyo box can replace a rack of fixed boxes. The exception is the Philosophy Gym, which is a single 12 in box that stacks with others through self-fastening straps. Two different answers to the same question: how do you train more than one height? - **Flip design** wins on space and cost. One cube, three heights, one purchase. The REP, Goplus, Yes4All and BalanceFrom all work this way. - **Stackable design** wins on maximum height and top-surface size. You add boxes to go taller, and the Philosophy Gym's 28 x 28 in top is the widest landing here. For most home gyms, flip is the better default. It is one box, one price, and no straps to fasten mid-workout. Stacking earns its place only when you want a platform taller than 24 in or a very wide landing surface, and you accept buying more than one unit to get there. ## What to check before you buy Before you commit, run down this short list against the live listing. These are the details that separate a box that fits your training from one that sits in a corner. 1. **Confirm the height range covers your progression.** If you already jump 20 in, a box topping out at 16 in, like the Yes4All, is a dead end. 2. **Check the stated weight if portability matters.** Only the Goplus at 7 lb and the Philosophy Gym at 13 lb publish clean figures. 3. **Read the capacity claim as a safety margin.** The range here runs 350 to 440 lb; all clear most users. 4. **Look for a warranty.** Only the Yes4All (1 year) and Goplus and Philosophy Gym (90 days) publish one. 5. **Note whether it ships assembled.** REP says its box arrives ready to use with no tools. ## The verdict If you want one box for your whole jump progression, the REP 3 in 1 Soft Plyo Box is the buy. It flips through 16, 20 and 24 in, ships fully assembled, and states its exact 16 x 24 x 20 in footprint. It is the most expensive pick here and it hides its weight, but it covers the range most home athletes will ever train. If portability is the deciding factor, the Goplus 3-in-1 Plyometric Jump Box is the better call. It matches the REP's full 16 to 24 in flip range, publishes a 7 lb weight, and costs less as the second-cheapest pick. Its exact advantage over the REP is that it tells you what it weighs and backs itself with a 90 day warranty. The cutoff is your current jump height. If you already clear 20 in, buy a full-range flip box, the REP or the Goplus. If you are starting from step-ups and low hops, the Yes4All's 12 in floor is the safer entry, at the cost of a 16 in ceiling you will outgrow. Price-first buyers take the BalanceFrom; stackers take the Philosophy Gym. ## FAQ ### Is a portable soft plyo box worth it over a wooden box? A portable soft plyo box is worth it if you value safer landings and easy moving over rigid stability. The foam cover cushions a missed jump and reduces shin scrapes, and a flip box gives three heights in one unit. A wooden box is firmer underfoot but heavier and single-height. For home training, soft usually wins. ### Which is the best portable soft plyo box for the money? The best portable soft plyo box for the money is the BalanceFrom 3-in-1 Foam Plyo Jump Box, the cheapest pick here. It still flips through the full 16, 20 and 24 in range and claims a 350 lb capacity. You give up a published warranty and get slightly inconsistent weight data, but the working heights match boxes that cost more. ### What height plyo box should a beginner start with? A beginner should start with a lower box height to build confidence and protect the shins. The Yes4All runs 16, 14 and 12 in, so you can begin at 12 in and step up as you improve. Flip boxes topping out at 24 in, like the REP and Goplus, work too, since you simply train the lowest face first. ### REP versus Goplus: which soft plyo box wins? REP versus Goplus comes down to specs versus documentation. Both flip through 16, 20 and 24 in. The REP ships fully assembled and states its 16 x 24 x 20 in footprint but hides its weight. The Goplus publishes 7 lb, a 352 lb capacity and a 90 day warranty, and costs less. Pick Goplus for portability, REP for assembly and range. ### What is the most common mistake buying a plyo box? The most common mistake is buying on foam density when every box in this category claims the same dense EPE or high-density core. That number does not separate them. Height range and stated weight do. Match the flip range to your current jump height, and check the weight figure if you plan to carry the box between rooms. Start by writing down the highest box jump you can clear today, then buy the box whose range clears it with room to grow. For most home gyms that answer is the REP 3 in 1 Soft Plyo Box: three working heights up to 24 in, fully assembled out of the packaging, and a foam cover that forgives the reps you miss. It costs more than the field, but it is the one box you will not outgrow, and that is what makes it the safe default. Check the current listing, confirm the height range against your goal, and add it. *Last updated: October 5, 2026\. Product availability re-checked.* *This page contains affiliate links.
