The 1/2 fold and Tri-fold models are both made with the same quality materials, and both are great products.

The 1/2 fold locks into place, so more of the stress is directly on the springs.

The Tri-fold has a flexible frame. Jumping from side to side, the Tri-fold frame actually flexes with the springs. The Tri-fold model keeps the user more centered, and can offer a slightly better and more intense workout. We’ve had numerous customers note that they can tell the difference between the 1/2-fold and the Tri-fold models.

Other than that, the Tri-fold has the added benefit of being more portable. But irrespective…both units will offer the same results.
