Vuly vs Lifespan Kids

Both of these brands sell springless trampolines, but they are not the same thing. Vuly's Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro use leaf springs set away from the jumping area. Lifespan Kids' HyperJump 3 uses elastic straps instead of steel. Both remove the hard spring from the edge of the mat; they feel different and they are priced very differently.

The Australian standard is the main difference. Every Vuly model is listed as meeting the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015. No Lifespan Kids model is, which is worth knowing if you are shopping for both the standard and a springless design.

Lifespan Kids is much cheaper, with most of its range priced below Vuly's entry point. Its frame warranty reaches 10 years on the HyperJump 3 but drops to 5 on other models, so it needs checking model by model, where Vuly's terms are consistent within each line. Lifespan also makes a rectangular model; Vuly is round only.

Choose Vuly if you want every model to meet the standard, consistent warranty terms and a higher weight rating. Choose Lifespan Kids if you want a springless trampoline at a much lower price and are happy to check the specific model's terms.

Quick verdict

Vuly is the premium option: every model meets the standard, weight ratings are higher, and warranties are more consistent. Lifespan Kids is the budget route to a springless mat, with the caveats that no current model is listed as meeting AS 4989:2015 and warranty varies between models.
