When you think of a trampoline, you think of a bouncing matt and trampoline springs around the outside right? Well, they are like that but not all of them. It’s now possible to get a springless trampoline, which is is exactly what it sounds like - a trampoline without trampoline springs. Instead of holding the mat on a trampoline with springs, a springless trampoline has sturdy elastic bands.

Although most trampolines have covers over the trampoline springs, not having any springs at all means that it is impossible to get scraped or pinched by metal coils should they slip while on the trampoline. Another benefit is that the elastic will not rust when left out in the elements, unlike what happens to regular trampoline springs in the rain.

Why Go for a Springless Trampoline?

There are many advantages to getting a springless trampoline. The main ones include it being easy to replace the mat, the trampoline won’t rust or become over-stretched no matter how much you use it. And believe it or not, the elastic bands are usually stronger than metal trampoline springs, because there are more of them to support the mat, and they will not become unsprung like metal coils can.

How Much Does a Springless Trampoline Cost?

The good news is that there is very little in difference in cost between a springless trampoline and a regular trampoline, although if you are having your trampoline shipped, the springless version can weigh a lot less and thus will be more economical to order online. The framing is slightly different, which means if you already have a trampoline you can’t just replace the mat to achieve a springless trampoline. However, converters are available, and most accessories are interchangeable, especially if they are the same brand and manufacturer. Other than that, replacement parts are about the same price.

Is a Springless Trampoline Strong?

The bottom line is yes. Made of high-grade elastic, they can provide even more bounce without the bounce back of metal trampoline springs. They are less likely to break, and they absolutely will not rust. When left out in the elements, the elastic is protected from its natural enemy, the sun, by a wide cushioned band, and therefore, will usually last for a several years, even with heavy use. Unlike metal, which can rust from either getting wet or just damp, the elastic bands are weather resistant as long as pad is in place and they are shielded from the sun.

The other great feature is that unlike trampoline springs which have metal grommets to secure it to the mat and can sometimes tear away from the mat or squeak as the metal rubs against metal, , springless trampolines are effectively part of the bouncing mat so with proper care they can last longer than those with trampoline springs.

Make sure you buy a good quality springless trampoline. How do you know if the quality is good enough? Look out for double stitching and extra thick reinforcement – that way you’ll know that it has been sewn together well and will be strong enough to do the job.
