Springfree vs Kahuna
This page contains affiliate links and we may earn a commission on purchases.
These two brands sit at opposite ends of the market: Springfree's cheapest model costs more than Kahuna's most expensive one.
The extra pays for longer published warranties and models that meet the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015. Springfree is springless, using fibreglass rods under the mat, is listed as meeting AS 4989:2015 across the range, and provides 10-year frame, mat and net warranties. Kahuna is mostly coil-sprung but also sells the elastic-band Twister Springless; no Kahuna model is listed as meeting the standard, and only a general one-year Australian warranty is recorded rather than separate component terms.
Kahuna does hold one advantage: its larger models are rated to 150 kg per jumper against 100 kg on full-size Springfree models. Both brands make oval trampolines for narrow yards; Springfree also makes square ones, while Kahuna adds rectangular models.
Choose Springfree if you want a springless trampoline that meets the standard, with a long warranty, and are prepared to pay for it. Choose Kahuna if you need a full-size enclosed trampoline in the yard for a few hundred dollars.

Springfree is springless in round, oval and square with 10-year warranties on the frame, mat and net. Kahuna covers round, oval and rectangular shapes, mostly with coil springs, and adds the springless Twister; its component warranty rows are blank because only a general one-year warranty is published. The maximum single-user weight row is where Kahuna leads.
