This guide compares three springless trampolines sold in Australia: the Springfree and the two Vuly Thunder models.

Vuly Thunder

Springfree Trampoline

Springfree trampolines use fibreglass rods instead of metal springs. The rods and frame sit under the mat, so there are no springs or frame edge to land on.

• Springless design: Uses fibreglass rods instead of metal springs.
• Safety net: Curved poles and fine mesh netting.
• Frame: Galvanised, powder-coated steel.

• Clearly published single-user and static test ratings.
• Durable construction.

Cons:

• High initial cost.
• Assembly can be complex.
