Not all trampolines are created equal. Some modern trampolines are being made without those dangerous springs.

The best part about this is the safety benefits because there are no steel coils that can scrape or pinch. Although many regular trampolines have covers or pads covering the metal coils it is still possible for a foot or hand to slip under the protective padding. Not having springs removes this risk completely.

Another benefit of not having metal is that the elastic will not rust when left out in the elements and lets face it, most people aren't going to pack up their trampoline each winter. So no rust means that the trampoline will last longer and you won't greet spring needing repair work done before the bouncing can begin.

Why choose a Spring Free Rebounder?

There are many advantages to getting a springless trampoline. The main one is that should the matting need to be replaced, it is far easier and simpler to replace a mat held in place by elastic than springs. You also don't have to worry about springs rusting or over-stretching with frequent use. While metal is stronger than elastic bands, the design of springfree trampolines means that there are more elastic bands than there would be springs. The result of this is a stronger trampoline. Also elastic bands can't come unsprung like metal coils can.

What about the cost of a Spring-free Rebounder? How does it compare?

A Spring Free trampoline usually costs about the same as a traditional trampoline. However, if you order the trampoline and have it shipped, the elastic bands on a springless trampoline weigh a lot less than the metal coils. If you already have a metal trampoline, you cannot just replace the mat to convert it to a springless as the frames are different. However, there are adapters available that can aid conversion. The cost of replacement parts are similar for each type of trampoline.

Is it going to be strong enough to withstand some heavy duty bouncing?

The simple answer is yes. Made of high-grade elastic, they can provide even more bounce without the jarring effect of metal springs. They have a lower likelihood of breaking, and as mentioned earlier they won't rust. When left out in the elements, the elastic is protected from its natural enemy, the sun, by a wide cushioned band, and therefore, may only wear out in a few years time with heavy use. Unlike metal, which will get wet or damp and rust, the elastic bands are weather resistant when shielded from the sun.

When choosing a trampoline without springs, the key is quality. If you have a chance to view the trampoline before purchase, you will know quality when you see the stitching. High quality trampolines have extra-thick reinforcement anchored firmly with double stitching. The springless trampoline are also quieter, since there are no metal grommets or squeaky springs.
