Vuly vs Springfree

Vuly and Springfree both build trampolines that keep hard springs away from the jumping area. Springfree has no springs at all: flexible fibreglass rods sit under the mat, outside the jumping surface. Vuly's Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro use leaf springs positioned away from the mat, while the Flare, Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro use conventional coil springs.

Every model from both brands is listed as meeting the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015, but their warranties differ. Springfree provides 10-year frame, mat and net warranties across the whole range. Vuly's warranty varies by model: 10 years on the frame for the Ultra 2 Pro and both Thunder models, 5 years on the Ultra 2, 3 years on the Flare, and 1 year on the net throughout.

Springfree makes round, oval and square trampolines, and its largest oval is the biggest trampoline either brand sells. Vuly is round only, but rates its Ultra 2 Pro and Thunder models to 150 kg per jumper against 100 kg on full-size Springfree models. Vuly is also the cheaper way in, starting well below Springfree's entry price.

Quick verdict

Springfree suits anyone who wants a fully springless design and the same long warranty on every part. Vuly is better suited to heavier teenagers and adults because its Ultra 2 Pro and Thunder models are rated to 150 kg per jumper. It also makes more sense if you want a lower entry price, a range of accessories or a leaf-spring bounce rather than rods.
