Best Trampoline Brands: Top-Rated Picks

Acon Trampoline Air 16 Sport HD

Acon is a Finland-based company that was founded in 1996 with the intention of importing trampolines into Finland. Over the years, this company has expanded its territories to manufacture virtually everything that keeps the family outside.

Today, this manufacturer sells its products through several successful brick and mortar stores in Finland, and through webstores in Sweden, Europe, and the USA.

If you think that Skybound offers trampolines with the highest weight limits in the world, Acon might surprise you.

Acon is popular for engineering trampolines that can hold capacities of upwards of 800 pounds. Actually, Acon Air 4.6, which is one of the trampolines to buy from this brand offers infinite single-user weight limit.

Besides assuring you that the tramp is safe for the entire family, these high weight limits speak volumes about the level of quality used for these trampolines and which is further reflected in the long warranties that can be up to 5 years.

Take note, however, that Acon trampolines can get really expensive especially if you are eyeing the rectangular models. In addition, putting them up together takes several hours depending on the size and shape of the tramp.

What is the best Acon trampoline today?

Air 4.6 is a round model that has been thoughtfully designed to be one of the trampolines for family within this price range.  

There are 2 key features that have greatly contributed to this tramp’s popularity: its infinite single-user weight capacity and all-weather proof design.

The infinite single-user weight endurance means that any adult can have a ride without the fear of piercing through the mat or the frame crumbling down on them. When there are 2 or more jumpers in the mat, this tramp has a total weight limit of 800 pounds which is still way higher compared to the competition.

In addition, thanks to the quality of the materials used for this tramp, Acon says that you can leave it erected all year round which again is very practical considering how troublesome it can be to disassemble such a big tramp.

We should also note that this is one of the bounciest trampolines in the market today. This is attributed to the 110 8.5-inch heavy-duty springs and the 6x cross-sewn propylene mat that it uses.

The Acon Air 4.6 is pricey compared to others that come at half its price. But it offers a really good value for your money considering its bounce and the fact that it’s crafted to withstand the harshest weather elements. In addition, there are replacement parts for all components in this trampoline which is also super impressive.

Zupapa TUV Approved Trampoline + Accessories

If you are wondering where to buy cheap trampolines, Zupapa might be the way to go. This is a Germany-based trampoline manufacturer that is known for its affordable fun tools.

We wouldn’t say that Zupapa trampolines are the best in terms of quality; the company does cut some corners to ensure that its products are affordable to all.

However, safety is guaranteed and this is cemented by the fact that all trampolines from this manufacturer are validated and certified by TUV- a German company that inspects and certifies the safety of products.

One reason why most people praise this brand is the accessories that its trampolines ship with. In most instances, the package will include additional springs, a ladder, a rain cover, and a T-hook tool. Honestly, this is one of the trampolines deals that you can get at the price that these tramps come at.

So, what is the best Zupapa trampoline to buy today?

The Zupapa is a great alternative for parents looking for an affordable 15ft trampoline for their family. This model is also available in 12ft and 14ft sizes which are even cheaper.

This tramp does not bring lots of bells and whistles compared to the Acon above, but it will still serve the purpose if all you need is to have some good time with your family during the holidays.

The 15ft Zupapa trampoline has a height of 94’’ from the ground and 72’’ from the mat to the tip of the enclosure pole. This is the highest net that we’ve come across so far and it’s much harder for even the bounciest jumper to go over.

Importantly, this trampoline is fitted with 7-inch springs and a heavy-duty UV-resistant polypropylene mat to offer you a good amount of bounce. The 2021 upgraded tramp now has a bright green color along the end of the mat that serves as an indicator to the jumpers when nearing the edges since the spring system is inside the jumping surface albeit covered.

SkyBound Stratos

While Skywalker is known for affordable trampolines, Skybound has the upper hand in terms of the most eye-catching trampoline designs.

This company was started in 2009 and it’s headquartered in California, USA. It began as a supplier for replacement parts for other top trampoline brands back then but has since grown into a fully-fledged trampoline company with its own line of rebounders.

Skybound trampolines are generally pricey compared to their similar alternatives from Skywalker and several other brands. But these high prices are reflected in the quality of materials that this manufacturer uses for its models.

For the record, most Skybound trampolines have weight limits of over 300 pounds which isn’t as limiting as Skywalker’s.

In addition, this manufacturer offers one of the best warranty deals of up to 10 years for the frames and legs, and at least 5 years for the mats and nets.

Skybound also offers some of the bounciest trampolines and might, therefore, be worth considering if you want to hone your gymnastic skills.

Lastly, we can’t deny that Skybound has one of the best customer care services in the industry.

What is the Skybound trampoline?

The Skybound Stratos is a great option for homeowners who are looking for a high-quality trampoline that they won’t need to replace any time soon.

This tramp comes in 3 sizes; 12ft, 14ft, and 15ft each with a weight limit of 300 pounds. This means that either of them can be used by the entire family and can allow up to 3 kids to jump together or an adult and a kid.

The 12-foot trampoline that we are reviewing here is the most affordable of the 3. It might suit you if your budget does not allow you to spend over a grand on these fun tools and if your yard isn’t spacious enough for a 14-foot or 15-foot tramp.

As it’s Skybound’s culture, the Stratos is crafted to raise the bar in terms of construction quality and value for money. The frame is made from galvanized steel and has been completely welded to prevent corroding and shearing as it’s usually the case with spot-welded frames.

The mat has been stitched to correlate with the 84 8.5-inch springs in offering the jumper high and smooth bounces and withstanding even the most rambunctious kids. The net, on the hand, has a thoughtful concave design that retains the jumpers inside the mat and protects them from hitting the support poles.

On this note, we also love how the enclosure posts bend outwards. This design coupled with the heavy padding on them further reduces the risk of accidents. Even better, the net attaches directly to the mat thereby eliminating the risk of feet and hands plunging through the holes between the springs.

Ease of assembly is yet another reason that makes the Stratos one of the best trampolines made in the USA. Thanks to Skybound’s thoughtful engineering, the different components of the frame are mounted using push-pins. The fact that there no bolts to fiddle with means that this tramp can be put up together in under an hour by 2 adults.

Springfree Trampoline

Springfree trampolines may be considered as the Lamborghini of trampolines in terms of quality and price. These models are just as their name suggests- no springs!

One question that most people commonly ask is, ‘’are Springfree trampolines the best?’’ Yes, if you are looking for the safest trampoline in the world.

Springless trampoline use flexible rods in place of the conventional spring system. This construction design alone eliminates 2 key danger zones that the traditional spring-based trampolines present: the springs and the steel frame.

Although spring-based trampolines brands today have padding for the spring system, it does not eliminate the risk of sliding through the holes completely. In addition, the danger of slamming your head against the steel frame on a spring tramp is extremely high, and the results can be fatal.

Springfree tramps have the frame located well beneath the jumping mat in a way that makes it very hard to hit hard no matter how one jumps.

In addition, these trampolines offer very large jumping surfaces compared to other competitor tramps of similar sizes.

But as you can expect, Springfree trampolines are darn expensive, and very rarely will you find them on sale.

The Springfree trampoline comes in a range of shapes including round, square, and oval. You can also get it in just the right size for your family and backyard thanks to the multiple options available; 8ft, 10ft, 11ft, and 13ft.

True to Springfree engineering, this trampoline has a stable and sturdy powder-coated frame beneath the jumping mat.

While there are absolutely zero risks of sliding through the net, this tram’s Flexinet enclosure has a concave shape that springs the jumpers inside the mat whenever they land on it. Other impressive features here include the shock-absorbent edges and non-metallic net poles that eliminate the risk of injuries.

Skywalker Jump N’ Dunk

Any list of the trampoline brands would have to include Skywalker. This is an American company based in Bringham City, Utah, USA but with several other offices around the world.

Skywalker has been in this industry for close to 15 years now having been born in 2014. It seems to have something for everyone whether you are looking for a foldable mini rebounder for adults or the largest trampoline for family.

Skywalker trampolines come in all sizes ranging from round (which is the most popular and the most affordable too) to rectangular-shaped models that make the trampolines for gymnastics.

But what makes Skywalker the trampoline brand to buy is its excellent mix of high-quality and innovative construction design and affordability.

One feature that we’ve come to love about Skywalker trampolines is the patented enclosure system that it uses for its trampolines. This system interlocks the netting enclosure to the jumping mat for a gap-free jumping surface.

In addition, these trampolines use a unique T-joint that holds together the legs, frame, and enclosure support pole. This leads to a stable, uni-bodied frame with incredible structural support and reduced risk of twisting.

Here is one of the highest-rated trampolines from this brand

The Skywalker Jump and Dunk is one of the most popular trampolines in the market today. It derives its name from the detachable basketball hoop that allows the jumpers to ‘jump and dunk’ a basketball thereby adding tons of fun to the overall jumping experience.

This is one of the largest trampolines by Skywalker and has a foot to foot diameter of 15 feet and 143.sq.ft of jumping surface.

As you’d expect from a Skywalker trampoline, this 15ft model is structurally stable credit to the 16 gauge powder-coated steel used for the frames and legs, and the reinforced T-brackets that prevent wobbling and tilting.

The jumping mat is made of polypropylene while the netting enclosure is high-quality polyethylene which has been tightly woven to eliminate the risk of toes and fingers being caught.

With regard to the jumpers’ safety, this Skywalker 15ft trampoline offers a weight limit of 200 pounds which is enough to accommodate 2 kids or 1 adult. The base of the net is attached directly to the jumping mat thereby eliminating the dreaded gaps and it also means that the frame is outside the jumping surface. This means that the risk of the jumpers crashing on the steel frame is highly reduced.
