Lifespan Kids vs Jumpflex
This page contains affiliate links and we may earn a commission on purchases.
Lifespan Kids and Jumpflex are aimed at different jumpers. Lifespan's springless HyperJump 3 uses elastic straps and is rated to 125 kg at its largest. Jumpflex uses conventional springs and rates the MEGA to 225 kg per jumper and 450 kg combined.
Lifespan Kids sits below Jumpflex across the range. Both brands offer 10-year frame warranties at the top of their ranges, but Lifespan drops to 5 years on some models, and Jumpflex provides mat warranties of 1 to 5 years. Both publish a 1-year net warranty.
Neither brand has a model listed as meeting the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015.
Choose Lifespan Kids if you want a springless mat, a lower price, or a published mat warranty. Choose Jumpflex if the trampoline needs to carry heavier jumpers or you want a square or rectangular shape.
