Springfree Trampoline Review

Springfree replaces coil springs with fibreglass rods and backs the frame, rods, mat and net with a ten-year warranty, the longest of any brand we compare. It was the only one of ten trampolines to pass every safety test in CHOICE's 2021 report. The drawbacks are assembly that many owners find hard, a zip entry, and a ladder and anchor kit sold separately.

Build quality and materials

Springfree uses a galvanised, powder-coated steel frame.

The entry is a zip rather than a self-closing overlap. We prefer self-closing entries, as zips can fail over time, though one owner we interviewed says hers still works well after 18 months.

The Medium Round model weighs 96.6 kg assembled.

Safety features and standards

This trampoline meets the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015. It replaces springs with fibreglass rods, and has curved safety net poles and a superfine mesh net, so there are no springs or hard frame edges inside the enclosure.

In CHOICE's 2021 test of ten trampolines against the Australian standard, the Springfree R79 was the only model to pass every safety test. Our summary of the report has the detail.

Bounce and performance

Springless designs are sometimes assumed to bounce worse, but owner reviews of Springfree generally describe the bounce as good. Springfree lists the Medium Round at 100 kg maximum per jumper, and 700 kg as a static test rating; the latter is not a user capacity.

Ease of assembly

Owners often find Springfree assembly frustrating, even though CHOICE rated the instructions clear and easy to follow.

Value for money

The Medium Round is around $2,100, premium territory. The ten-year warranty on the frame, rods, mat and net offsets some of that, and we think the safety record and durability justify the cost.

Optional accessories include a shade cover and basketball hoop. Neither a ladder nor an anchor kit is included in the basic package; both are sold separately.

Customer service

Owner experiences with Springfree's customer service vary, and some report poor interactions.

Warranty

Springfree has the most comprehensive warranty of any trampoline brand we’ve looked at: ten years on all major components, the frame, fibreglass rods, mat and safety net.
