Vuly Thunder 2 vs Springfree
This page contains affiliate links and we may earn a commission on purchases.
Springfree removes springs entirely: flexible fibreglass rods sit beneath the mat, outside the jumping surface. The Vuly Thunder 2 keeps springs but uses leaf springs mounted away from the mat edge. Both meet the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015 and both are round.
Warranty favours Springfree, which provides 10-year frame, mat and net warranties. The Thunder 2 provides 10 years on the frame, 5 on the mat and 1 on the net. The Thunder 2 is rated to 140 to 150 kg per jumper, against 100 kg on full-size Springfree round models.
Price is the other gap. The Thunder 2 starts well below Springfree's round range, and its XXL size is larger than Springfree's Jumbo Round.

Quick verdict
