Bare wood at 75 cm, or foam at 60
How much does a foam cover change a plyo box?
Both are wooden boxes turned to give three heights, and neither publishes a load rating or the basis for one — which both review pages record. What separates them is the top surface and the height range, and the two choices point at different users.

| Top surface | Coated with a non-slip material | EVA foam covering over the whole box |

A tick means one listing published something the other did not, or published a better figure. It does not mean the product is better, and the column is not a score out of anything: a maker who says less loses lines here without losing a comparison. The two verdicts below are where the page is settled.
The tall box of the pair: 75 cm on its tallest face, with a 50 cm minimum that starts where the other one stops climbing. It publishes no load rating, no timber and no panel thickness.
The box that is kind about failure. An EVA foam cover over the whole box is a genuinely different product from a bare-edged one, and the heights start at 40 cm. It publishes nothing about the foam’s thickness or density.
Because a missed box jump lands the shin on the top edge. A bare wooden edge and a foam-covered one produce very different injuries, and the review pages describe both as published.
It is the tallest face in this family, and the tallest is where a landing arrives with the most energy. The Tunturi tops out at 60 cm, which is where the Sport-Tec’s middle setting sits.
Both omit it, and both review pages say so. A box supports a landing, not a standing weight, and no maker on this shelf publishes the basis for a figure — which is why neither wins that row.
75 × 60 × 50 cm, three heights, no load rating
A three-height box at 75 × 60 × 50 cm, with rounded edges and a non-slip coating — and no load rating published.
Best for: Somebody who has outgrown a 40 cm box
40 / 50 / 60 cm, wood with EVA foam cover
The only soft box here: wood under an EVA foam cover, with the height printed on each face — the one construction that forgives a missed jump.
Best for: Anybody who is going to miss a jump and would rather meet foam than plywood
A figure written into a sentence below was read once, on the day that sentence was written, and nothing has refreshed it since. The amount a shop is asking right now loads beside the product itself — that is the only one still current.
