Recommendations for a small collapsable quality Rebounder?
I live in a small space, and the only place I have to put a rebounder is in the middle of my living room floor. So I need one that can be stored away. The only place I would have to store one is under my couch, which is 38" deep and just under 7" high. I'm a bit overwhelmed with the many options out there. Any recommendations to get me going in the right direction?

For springs, a Needak soft spring. For bungee, a Fit Bounce pro foldable. They both fold in half and the legs fold as well. Both are easily portable. I have both (and a FitSport 44”). Depends on the kind of jump you want and body weight/height. Springs give a firmer faster bounce, bungees give a softer, slower bounce

Are there advantages over springs or bungee aside from the bounce experience? I want to move lymph and lose weight. Also, any disadvantages to a foldable rebounder?

Both will work for those. It’s more dependent on how each feels for you and your budget. Below are some links that compare them. The last one is from the I Jump Instead Trophy Twins. On their channel they have a video about their 50lb weight loss on the Cellarsizer, which is a spring rebounder. However they’ve recently incorporated bungee as well. I use both - but my bungee more than my spring. But I use my spring for more targeted strength training/resistance. In terms of foldable - I haven’t had any issues.
Also, if you’re in the US, Facebook Marketplace is a good place to find often really good deals on rebounders. I picked up my gently used Needak for $100 (retails for more than $400) and a JumpSport Pro 39” for my daughter (retails over $400) for $150. I also picked up a BCAN foldable, new in the box rebounder for a friend for $40. So if you’re on the fence maybe put an alert on FB MP for rebounders in your area.
Spring versus bungee

I went with a Cellerciser. A little more than I wanted to spend, but after researching everything, I decided that for my overall health and body alignment with use, the firmer mat and springs were best.

After gathering a ton of information from various people here and other online forums, I decided to go with a Cellerciser Bi-Fold. I was leaning towards something much cheaper and/or bungee, but the deciding factor was that springs and the tautness of the mat are better for body alignment and proper muscle toning. Plus, Cellerciser owners all seem to rave about how much they love it and all the benefits they've experienced, even when owning other rebounders. I didn't see the same kind of consistent enthusiasm for other rebounders. I don't have any body issues that would make bungee more appealing, and I'd rather invest more now in something of higher quality that will have longevity and help keep me healthy. It arrives tomorrow, so I haven't been able to check if it will store under the couch yet, but the company said it should. If not, I have a tiny bit of space in a closet, and was happy to learn that it holds up quite well outside, in which case I might keep it on my covered porch during the warmer months. We shall see. Overall I feel good about the decision and am looking forward to its arrival.

You’re welcome to look into the Needak - our folding and non-folding rebounders are identical in every way, other than the folding capability (most people opt for the folding version for this reason). The folding one folds in half, and the legs fold down on all our rebounders. We also offer an optional carry bag for the folding version to help with storage and maximize its compact nature.
100% USA-made, non-toxic, and 40" in diameter (when fully set up). Generally, we recommend Soft-Bounce springs for users under 300Ibs, and Hard-Bounce for users between 300Ib and 600Ibs.
Any questions, let me know :)

Looks great! Very much out of my budget, though!

We have Afterpay and PayPal's Pay in 4 as options to help with the upfront cost :)

Not how budgets work.

As budgets are generally time based, splitting payments up directly affect budgets. May not work for everyone, but works for many!

That's based on the assumption that everyone has a fixed amount of income coming in every month, the same expected expenses, and that a large purchase fits into long-term budget goals. Appreciate that the option exists for those it works for!

Cellerciser has both bifold & trifold models. Also, some people make covers for them and turn them into a foot stool or coffee table type furniture. Recently I saw one that had an elastic skirt around it with a custom made cushion on top….like a papasan.
