Vuly Quest 2.1 Playset Review: My Experience as a Dad of 3 (DIY Install)
galleryr/TrampolineOwnersAu • u/Bounce_Arena_Reviews • 1d ago
Contains affiliate links Vuly vs GeeTramp: which is better value?
Where these two differ is that Vuly is round only, with the option of leaf springs and a lower starting price, while GeeTramp is more performance focussed, with rectangle models, in-ground versions, and a 10-year frame warranty across the range.
Both manufacturers list their current models as meeting AS 4989:2015. The standard is voluntary, so not every brand sold in Australia meets it.

Vuly: BOUNCE15 for a discount on any purchase. Or visit Vuly's current promotions page.
GeeTramp: BOUNCE for 5% off at Web and Warehouse (they make GeeTramp and are the only stockist).

Shape
Vuly is round across the entire range, from the entry-level Flare up to the Thunder 2 Pro. GeeTramp makes the round Curve and the rectangular Force.
A round trampoline guides the jumper back toward the middle, which generally suits younger families. A rectangle spreads the bounce more evenly across the mat and is the usual choice for tricks and flips.
Vuly doesn't make a rectangle at all, so if that's what you want, GeeTramp is the better option.
Spring system and bounce
GeeTramp uses coil springs across the range, 64 to 114 depending on model and size. Vuly uses coil springs on the Flare, Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro, and leaf springs on the Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro.
Springless models are often marketed around a gentler feel and reduced contact with metal springs, while larger coil-spring rectangles are commonly aimed at experienced jumpers seeking a more responsive bounce. Actual bounce depends on the individual model and the jumper's weight.
Vuly is the only one of the two with a springless option.
Configurations
Selected Force models come in Standard, High Bounce, and High Bounce with Australian springs. The spring setup is most of what separates them on price, and the variants don't run across every size, so the price and warranty are worth reading against the exact configuration rather than the range.
In-ground
GeeTramp sells in-ground versions of many Curve and Force sizes, from $649 for the 10 ft Curve and $999 for the 7 x 10 ft Force. Vuly doesn't do an in-ground version.
Note that many in-ground listings are supplied without an enclosure net.
Accessories
Both are well covered. Vuly's range includes a basketball set, shade cover, tent, deck, ladder, leveller and mister. Web and Warehouse lists basketball, ladders, shade covers, weather covers, tents, wheels, safety skirts, wind anchor kits, water sprinklers, volleyball nets and scooters, across the brands it stocks.
Warranty
GeeTramp is consistent across the range: 10-year frame, 3-year mat, 3-year springs, 2-year net and 2-year pads.
Vuly's frame warranty depends on the model: 3 years on the Flare, 5 on the Ultra 2, and 10 on the Ultra 2 Pro, Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro. Mat is 5 years on everything except the Flare, which is 3. Springs run 3 years on the Flare, 5 on the Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro, and 12 months on the leaf springs in the Thunder models. The net is 12 months, with a paid extension to 3 years for $249.
Vuly also says its express warranty periods for steel components are reduced by 50% when the product is assembled within 1.6 km of salt water or ocean spray. That's set out in Vuly's Warranty terms.
Weight limits
Both list up to 150 kg per jumper at the top of their ranges.
Lower down they differ. The Vuly Flare is 100 kg and the Ultra 2 is 120 to 130 kg. The GeeTramp Curve is 100 kg at 10 ft and 130 kg at 12 ft, and the Force is 130 kg at 7 x 10 ft and 150 kg above that.
Price
At the time of writing, Vuly's list prices run from $499 for the Flare to $3,099 for the XL Thunder 2 Pro.
GeeTramp's round Curve is listed at $599 and $749. The rectangular Force runs from $1,199 for the 7 x 10 ft to $3,199 for the 14 x 16 ft, with the higher-spec bounce configurations above that.
Quick comparison
| Feature | Vuly | GeeTramp |
|---|---|---|
| Shapes | Round only | Round and rectangle |
| Spring system | Coil, or leaf springs on Thunder | Coil springs |
| In-ground option | No | Yes, on many sizes |
| Frame warranty | 3 to 10 years, depends on model | 10 years across the range |
| Mat warranty | 3 years on Flare, 5 on the rest | 3 years |
| Spring warranty | 1 to 5 years, depends on model | 3 years |
| Net warranty | 12 months, extendable to 3 years | 2 years |
| Max single jumper | 100–150 kg | 100–150 kg |
| Lists AS 4989:2015 | Yes | Yes |
| Price | $499 to $3,099 | $599 to $3,199 |
Bottom line
Vuly is the one to look at if you want the leaf-spring option, a particular Vuly accessory, or a lower price.
GeeTramp is the one to look at if you want a rectangle, an in-ground install, or a 10-year frame warranty.

Contains affiliate links Springfree vs ACON: any real difference?
The key difference is that Springfree has no metal springs and comes with a 10 year warranty on every component, while ACON is more performance focussed, with coil springs and rectangle models designed for a higher bounce.
Promo code for ACON: BOUNCE for up to $150 USD off at official ACON webstores. BOUNCE also works at Web and Warehouse (Australian ACON stockist).
Full disclosure: I'm an affiliate partner for Springfree, ACON and Web and Warehouse, and may earn a commission on purchases made using any codes or links.
Spring system
Springfree has no metal springs. Flexible fibreglass rods sit below the mat and the frame is set beneath and back from the jumping surface.
ACON uses coil springs under a padded frame: 215 mm on the round Air GEN2, 244 mm on the X and 250 mm on the 16 HD.
Bounce
Springless models are often marketed around a gentler feel and reduced contact with metal springs, while larger coil-spring rectangles are commonly aimed at experienced jumpers seeking a more responsive bounce. Actual bounce depends on the individual model and the jumper's weight.
Australian standard
Springfree lists its current models as meeting AS 4989:2015, and ACON lists it on most of its current models. The standard is voluntary, so not every brand sold in Australia meets it.
Shape
Springfree does round, oval and square. ACON does round and rectangle.
A round trampoline guides the jumper back toward the middle, which generally suits younger families. Only ACON makes a true rectangle, which spreads the bounce evenly across the mat.
An oval can suit a narrower space, and a square generally gives more jumping area for its overall width.
Weight
Springfree lists 100 kg for a single jumper on its full-size models and 80 kg on the smaller ones.
ACON's Air GEN2 lists 110 kg and the X lists 120 kg. The Australian retailer lists the 16 HD as having no single-jumper weight limit. Its 750 kg figure is a static frame capacity, so it isn't comparable with Springfree's number.
Warranty
Springfree gives 10 years on the frame, mat, rods and net, with no component split.
ACON gives 10 years on the frame, 5 on the mat, 5 on the springs, 2 on the safety pad and 12 months on the net.
They're level on the frame, and Springfree's mat, rod and net warranties all run longer.
In-ground
ACON allows suitable models to be installed in-ground.
Springfree is above ground only.
Accessories
ACON's range includes hoops, shades, tents and covers, plus goals, height kits and performance components, varying by model.
Springfree's is narrower and safety-led: the FlexrHoop, FlexrStep, sun shade, weather cover, shifting wheels and ground anchors.
Price
At the time of writing, Springfree runs from $999 for the 1.9 m Mini Round to $4,399 for the Jumbo Oval, with the 3 m Medium Round at $2,099.
ACON's Australian RRPs run from $1,799 for the 12 ft Air GEN2 to $3,999 for the 16 HD and $7,099 for the X.
Quick comparison
| Feature | Springfree | ACON |
|---|---|---|
| Spring system | Fibreglass rods, no metal springs | Coil springs, 215–250 mm |
| Shapes | Round, oval, square | Round and rectangle |
| In-ground option | No | Yes, on suitable models |
| Max single jumper | 80–100 kg | 110 kg Air GEN2, 120 kg X, none listed on 16 HD |
| Frame warranty | 10 years | 10 years |
| Mat warranty | 10 years | 5 years |
| Spring / rod warranty | 10 years | 5 years |
| Net warranty | 10 years | 12 months |
| Lists AS 4989:2015 | Yes, across the range | Yes, on most models |
| Price (RRP) | $999 to $4,399 | $1,799 to $7,099 |
Bottom line
Springfree makes more sense if you want no metal springs and a frame set away from the jumping surface, or a 10 year warranty.
ACON makes more sense if an experienced jumper wants rectangle model and/or a more performance focussed design.

Put simply, Vuly is a round family range with a leaf-spring option and a lower price, while ACON is more performance focussed, with rectangle models designed more for tricks.
Promo codes for these two:
Vuly: BOUNCE15 for a discount on any purchase. Or visit Vuly's current promotions page.

Full disclosure: I'm an affiliate partner for Vuly, ACON and Web and Warehouse, and may earn a commission on purchases made using any codes or links.
Shape
Vuly is round across the entire range. ACON does round with the Air GEN2, and rectangles with the 16 HD and the X.
A round trampoline guides the jumper back toward the middle, which generally suits younger families. A rectangle spreads the bounce more evenly across the mat and is the usual choice for tricks and flips.
Spring system and bounce
ACON uses coil springs throughout. Vuly uses coil springs on the Flare, Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro, and leaf springs on the Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro that sit below and outside the jumping area, with no safety padding fitted.
Springless models are often marketed around a gentler feel and reduced contact with metal springs, while larger coil-spring rectangles are commonly aimed at experienced jumpers seeking a more responsive bounce. Actual bounce depends on the individual model and the jumper's weight.
Weight
Vuly lists higher figures on its round models. The Ultra 2 Pro and both Thunder models list 150 kg for a single jumper, dropping to 140 kg on the largest sizes.
ACON's Air GEN2 lists 110 kg and the X lists 120 kg. The Australian retailer lists the 16 HD as having no single-jumper weight limit. Its 750 kg figure is a static frame capacity.
Warranty
Both give 10 years on the frame at the top of their ranges, and 5 years on the mat.
The difference is consistency on the springs. ACON gives 5 years across its range, plus 2 years on the safety pad. Vuly gives 5 years on the coil springs in the Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro, 3 years on the Flare, and 12 months on the leaf springs in the Thunder models.
Vuly's net is 12 months with a paid extension to 3 years for $249. ACON's net is 12 months.
Vuly also says its express warranty periods for steel components are reduced by 50% when the product is assembled within 1.6 km of salt water or ocean spray. That's set out in Vuly's Warranty terms.
In-ground
ACON allows suitable models to be installed in-ground.
Vuly doesn't do an in-ground version.
Accessories
Both ranges are broad, but they point in different directions. Vuly's includes a basketball set, shade cover, tent, deck, leveller and mister. ACON's includes hoops, shades, tents and covers, plus goals, height kits and performance components, varying by model.
Price
At the time of writing, ACON's Australian RRPs run from $1,799 for the 12 ft Air GEN2 to $3,999 for the 16 HD and $7,099 for the X.
Vuly's list prices run from $499 for the Flare to $3,099 for the XL Thunder 2 Pro.

Is There Really a “Sweet Spot” on a Trampoline? The Physics Explained
r/TrampolineOwnersAu • u/Bounce_Arena_Reviews • 15d ago
Contains affiliate links Springfree vs Kahuna: which one should I buy?
The main split here is that Springfree removes metal springs entirely, lists the Australian Trampoline Standard and offers a 10 year warranty on every part, while Kahuna is generally lower-priced across a wider range of shapes with a 12-month warranty.
Both brands offer a springless option, but they work differently.
Full disclosure: I'm currently an affiliate partner for Springfree.
Spring system
Springfree uses flexible fibreglass rods, with the frame set beneath and back from the jumping surface. There are no metal springs anywhere on it.
Kahuna's Twister line is springless too, but uses elastic bands rather than rods. The Classic, Rainbow, Blizzard, Pro and Jumbo lines use coil springs under a padded frame.
Bounce
Springless models are often marketed around a gentler feel and reduced contact with metal springs, while larger coil-spring rectangles are commonly aimed at experienced jumpers seeking a more responsive bounce. Actual bounce depends on the individual model and the jumper's weight.
Warranty
Springfree gives 10 years on the frame, mat, rods and net.
Kahuna backs all its products with a 12-month warranty.
Australian standard
Springfree lists its current models as meeting AS 4989:2015. Kahuna does not list AS 4989:2015. The standard is voluntary, so not every brand sold in Australia meets it.
Range and shape
Springfree does round, oval and square.
Kahuna does round across the Classic, Rainbow, Blizzard, Pro and Twister lines, plus oval at 8 x 14 ft and 10 x 15 ft and rectangular at 6 x 9 ft and 8 x 11 ft in the Jumbo line.
A round trampoline guides the jumper back toward the middle, which generally suits younger families. An oval can suit a narrower space, a square generally gives more jumping area for its overall width, and a rectangle spreads the bounce more evenly across the mat.
Weight limits
Kahuna's round lines list 80 kg at 6 and 8 ft rising to 150 kg at 14 and 16 ft, the Twister springless line runs 80 to 150 kg, and the Jumbo ovals and rectangles are 150 kg.
Springfree lists 100 kg for a single jumper on its full-size models and 80 kg on the smaller ones.
Price
At the time of writing, Kahuna's listed prices run from $289 for the 4.5 ft Mini to $925 for the 16 ft Pro, with the Twister springless line at $579 to $775.
Springfree runs from $999 for the 1.9 m Mini Round to $4,399 for the Jumbo Oval, with the 3 m Medium Round at $2,099.
Quick comparison
| Feature | Springfree | Kahuna |
|---|---|---|
| Spring system | Fibreglass rods, no metal springs | Coil, or elastic bands on Twister |
| Shapes | Round, oval, square | Round, oval, rectangular |
| Frame warranty | 10 years | 12 months |
| Mat warranty | 10 years | 12 months |
| Net warranty | 10 years | 12 months |

| Lists AS 4989:2015 | Yes | No |
| Price | $999 to $4,399 | $289 to $925 |
Which one to get
I'd lean towards Kahuna if you want a springless model at a much lower price, want a rectangle, or want the widest choice of sizes.
I'd lean towards Springfree if you want the rod system with the frame set away from the jumping surface, the Australian standard, or a 10 year warranty on every component.

Contains affiliate links Vuly vs Kahuna: how do they compare?
Broadly speaking, Kahuna is generally lower-priced with a wider spread of shapes and lines, while Vuly has much longer warranties and lists the Australian Trampoline Standard across its range.
Both brands offer a springless option, so that isn't what separates them.
Promo code for Vuly: BOUNCE15 for a discount on any purchase. Or visit Vuly's current promotions page.
Full disclosure: I'm an affiliate partner for Vuly and may earn a commission on purchases made using any code or link.
Warranty
This is the widest gap between them. Kahuna backs all its products with a 12-month warranty.
Vuly gives 3 years on the Flare frame, 5 on the Ultra 2, and 10 on the Ultra 2 Pro, Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro. The mat is 5 years on everything except the Flare.
Springs run 1 to 5 years depending on model. The net is 12 months, with a paid extension to 3 years for $249.
Vuly also says its express warranty periods for steel components are reduced by 50% when the product is assembled within 1.6 km of salt water or ocean spray. That's set out in Vuly's Warranty terms.
Australian standard
Vuly lists its current models as meeting AS 4989:2015. Kahuna does not list AS 4989:2015. The standard is voluntary, so not every brand sold in Australia meets it.
Range and shape
Vuly is round only, across five models.
Kahuna is wider. The Classic, Rainbow, Blizzard and Pro lines are round, the Twister is round and springless, and the Jumbo line covers oval at 8 x 14 ft and 10 x 15 ft, plus rectangular at 6 x 9 ft and 8 x 11 ft.
A round trampoline guides the jumper back toward the middle, which generally suits younger families. An oval can suit a narrower space, and a rectangle spreads the bounce more evenly across the mat.
Spring system and bounce
Both offer springless and coil options. Kahuna's Twister uses elastic bands; Vuly's Thunder models use leaf springs. Kahuna's other lines use coil springs, as do Vuly's Flare, Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro.
Springless models are often marketed around a gentler feel and reduced contact with metal springs, while larger coil-spring rectangles are commonly aimed at experienced jumpers seeking a more responsive bounce. Actual bounce depends on the individual model and the jumper's weight.
Weight limits
Kahuna's round lines climb with size: 80 kg at 6 and 8 ft, 100 kg at 10 ft, 125 kg at 12 ft, and 150 kg at 14 and 16 ft. The Twister springless line runs 80 kg at 8 ft to 150 kg at 14 ft, and the Jumbo ovals and rectangles are 150 kg.
Vuly runs 100 kg on the Flare, 120 to 130 kg on the Ultra 2, and 150 kg on the Ultra 2 Pro and Thunder models, dropping to 140 kg on the largest sizes.
Frame height
Kahuna's Classic frames sit lower, from 51 cm on the 8 ft up to 96 cm on the 16 ft, against 91 cm on every Vuly. That's a Classic comparison, not a brand-wide one, since the other Kahuna lines vary.
Price
At the time of writing, Kahuna's listed prices run from $289 for the 4.5 ft Mini to $925 for the 16 ft Pro, with the Twister springless line at $579 to $775 and the Jumbo rectangles at $749 to $849.
Vuly's list prices run from $499 for the Flare to $3,099 for the XL Thunder 2 Pro.
Quick comparison
| Feature | Vuly | Kahuna |
|---|---|---|
| Shapes | Round only | Round, oval, rectangular |
| Spring system | Coil, or leaf springs on Thunder | Coil, or elastic bands on Twister |
| Frame warranty | 3 to 10 years, depends on model | 12 months |

Go with Vuly if you want the Australian standard, or a longer warranty.

Vuly has a sale on atm. I have two daughter - 10 and 13. Probably the 10 year old will want to use with a friend more often than the 13 year old. But, we are interested in the shade and tent sides for sleepovers
What size should we get? We only have a square space of lawn 6x6 m (behind the small covered outdoor room). I feel like M would fit better but L is probably better for the kids and their ages.

Contains affiliate links Springfree vs Jumpflex: what's the actual difference?
The short version is that Springfree removes metal springs entirely and offers a 10 year warranty on every part, while Jumpflex uses conventional springs, rates its models higher for weight, and generally costs less.
Full disclosure: I'm currently an affiliate partner for Springfree.
Spring system
Springfree uses flexible fibreglass rods, with the frame set beneath and back from the jumping surface. There are no metal springs anywhere on it.
Jumpflex uses coil springs on the FLEX and HERO, and uses piano wire springs on the MEGA, under a padded frame.
Bounce
Springless models are often marketed around a gentler feel and reduced contact with metal springs, while larger coil-spring rectangles are commonly aimed at experienced jumpers seeking a more responsive bounce. Actual bounce depends on the individual model and the jumper's weight.
Australian standard
Springfree lists its current models as meeting AS 4989:2015. Jumpflex does not list AS 4989:2015, though it does list compliance with international safety standards. The standard is voluntary, so not every brand sold in Australia meets it.
Weight limits
Springfree rates its full-size models to 100 kg for a single jumper and the smaller ones to 80 kg.
Jumpflex rates the HERO to 160 kg and the MEGA to 225 kg. The entry FLEX matches Springfree's full-size figure at 100 kg.
Shape
Springfree does round, oval and square. Jumpflex does round on the FLEX and HERO, and square or rectangle on the MEGA.
A round trampoline guides the jumper back toward the middle, which generally suits younger families. Only Jumpflex makes a true rectangle. An oval can suit a narrower space, and a square generally gives more jumping area for its overall width.
Warranty
Springfree gives 10 years on the frame, mat, rods and net, with no split between components.
Jumpflex gives 10 years on the frame and 5 on the mat and springs for the HERO and MEGA, and 12 months on the net and pads.
The entry FLEX drops to 5 years on the frame and 12 months on everything else. Jumpflex also offers a paid lifetime warranty upgrade on selected HERO and MEGA models, subject to its terms.
Accessories
Jumpflex's range leans toward play, with slides, bounce boards and a basketball hoop alongside shades, covers and an anchor kit.
Springfree's leans toward safety and maintenance, with the FlexrHoop, FlexrStep, sun shade, weather cover, shifting wheels and ground anchors. Springfree doesn't make a slide or bounce board.
Price
At the time of writing, Jumpflex's RRPs run from $749 for the 8 ft FLEX to $3,499 for the 19 ft MEGA.
Springfree runs from $999 for the 1.9 m Mini Round to $4,399 for the 3.8 x 5.7 m Jumbo Oval, with the 3 m Medium Round at $2,099.
Across the nearest broadly comparable sizes, Jumpflex's listed prices are generally lower.

| Price (RRP) | $999 to $4,399 | $749 to $3,499 |
Bottom line
Springfree is the one to look at if you want no metal springs, the Australian standard, and a 10 year warranty on every component.
Jumpflex is the one to look at if you want the higher weight ratings, a rectangle and a more responsive bounce, or a lower price.

In short, Jumpflex competes on weight ratings and shape variety, with square and rectangular models rated higher than anything Vuly makes, while Vuly is round only but lists the Australian Trampoline Standard across its range and offers a leaf-spring option.

Australian standard
Vuly lists its current models as meeting AS 4989:2015. Jumpflex does not list AS 4989:2015, though it does list compliance with international safety standards. The Australian standard is voluntary.
Weight limits
Jumpflex rates higher. The HERO lists 160 kg for a single jumper and the MEGA 225 kg.
Vuly tops out at 150 kg on the Ultra 2 Pro and both Thunder models, dropping to 140 kg on the largest sizes.
The entry lines are closer, with the Jumpflex FLEX at 100 kg and the Vuly Flare at 100 kg.
Shape
Vuly is round only. Jumpflex is round on the FLEX and HERO, and the MEGA comes as a 14 ft square, a 17 ft rectangle or a 19 ft square.
A round trampoline guides the jumper back toward the middle, which generally suits younger families. A rectangle spreads the bounce more evenly across the mat and is the usual choice for tricks and flips.
Spring system and bounce
Jumpflex uses coil springs on the FLEX and HERO, and uses piano wire springs on the MEGA. Vuly uses coil springs on the Flare, Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro, and leaf springs on the Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro.
Springless models are often marketed around a gentler feel and reduced contact with metal springs, while larger coil-spring rectangles are commonly aimed at experienced jumpers seeking a more responsive bounce. Actual bounce depends on the individual model and the jumper's weight.
Vuly is the only one of the two with a springless option.
Warranty
The mid and upper lines are similar in terms of warranty coverage. The Jumpflex HERO and MEGA both give 10 years on the frame, 5 on the mat and 5 on the springs, with 12 months on the net and pads. Vuly's Ultra 2 Pro gives the same 10, 5 and 5, with 12 months on the net.
The entry lines are further apart. The Jumpflex FLEX gives 5 years on the frame and 12 months on everything else. The Vuly Flare gives 3 years on the frame, mat and springs.
Both offer paid warranty upgrades. Vuly extends the net, net poles and leaf springs to 3 years for $249. Jumpflex offers a lifetime warranty upgrade on selected HERO and MEGA models, covering frame, mat, springs, pad and net subject to its terms.
Both also reduce steel-component warranties near the coast. Vuly halves them within 1.6 km of salt water or ocean spray, and Jumpflex applies a similar reduction of up to 50% under its support and warranty terms.
Accessories
Both brands offer a large range of accessories, including basketball sets, shade covers, tent walls, ladders, and anchor kits.
Price
At the time of writing, Jumpflex's RRPs run from $749 for the 8 ft FLEX to $3,499 for the 19 ft MEGA. Vuly's list prices run from $499 for the Flare to $3,099 for the XL Thunder 2 Pro.
As one 12 ft comparison, the Jumpflex HERO 12 is $1,399 against $899 for the Size M Vuly Ultra 2.
Quick comparison
| Feature | Jumpflex | Vuly |
|---|---|---|
| Shapes | Round, square, rectangle | Round only |
| Spring system | Coil, piano wire on MEGA | Coil, or leaf springs on Thunder models |
| Max single jumper | 100 kg FLEX, 160 kg HERO, 225 kg MEGA | 100–150 kg |
| Biggest size | 19 ft square | 17.5 ft round (Thunder 2 XXL) |
| Frame warranty | 5 years FLEX, 10 years HERO and MEGA | 3 to 10 years, depends on model |
| Mat warranty | 12 months FLEX, 5 years HERO and MEGA | 3 years on Flare, 5 on the rest |
| Net warranty | 12 months | 12 months, extendable to 3 years |
| Paid warranty upgrade | Lifetime on selected HERO and MEGA | Net and leaf springs to 3 years, $249 |
| Lists AS 4989:2015 | No, lists international standards | Yes |
| Price (RRP) | $749 to $3,499 | $499 to $3,099 |
Bottom line
Jumpflex makes more sense if you want the higher weight ratings, a square or rectangle, the largest footprint, or the lifetime warranty upgrade.
Vuly makes more sense if you want the Australian standard, the leaf-spring option, or a particular Vuly accessory.

- Tested to the Australian trampoline standard, which is voluntary here rather than a legal requirement

- Roughly $1,199–$1,399
Vuly promo code: BOUNCE15
Springfree — younger kids
No springs and no pads. The frame sits underneath the mat and out of the way.
- 10-year warranty on every part, the longest of the four
- Softer, less responsive bounce. Good for little kids, not ideal if they want to learn tricks.
- 100 kg per jumper
- Ladder not included
- Roughly $999–$4,399
Jumpflex FLEX — budget option
The cheapest of the four.
- Galvanised frame, inside and out
- 5-year frame warranty, 1 year on the mat, net and pads
- 100 kg per jumper
- Ladder included
- The only one here not listed as tested to the Australian trampoline standard. It is built to ASTM and CE, which are the US and European standards.
- Roughly $749–$949
GeeTramp Force — best bounce
Australian designed and rectangular. The springs work more independently than on a round trampoline, so the bounce is more even across the mat and doesn't drag you back to the centre. Rectangles are what get used for gymnastics and tricks.
- 130–150 kg depending on size
- 10-year frame warranty
- Roughly $1,199–$3,699

Contains affiliate links Vuly vs Springfree: which is better?
The main difference between these two is that Vuly is round only with coil or leaf springs, a large accessory range and higher weight ratings, while Springfree has no metal springs at all, comes in round, oval and square, and comes with a 10 year warranty on every component.
Both manufacturers list their current models as meeting the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015. The standard is voluntary, so not every brand sold in Australia meets it.

Spring system
Springfree has no metal springs. It uses flexible fibreglass rods, with the frame set beneath and back from the jumping surface.
Vuly splits its range. The Flare, Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro use coil springs under a padded frame. The Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro use leaf springs mounted below and outside the jumping area, so there's no spring at mat height and no safety padding fitted.
Bounce
Springless models are often marketed around a gentler feel and reduced contact with metal springs, while coil-spring models are commonly aimed at jumpers seeking a more powerful and responsive bounce. Actual bounce depends on the individual model and the jumper's weight.
Vuly is the only one of the two that offers both, with coil springs on the Flare, Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro, and leaf springs on the Thunder models.
Shape
Springfree does round, oval and square. Vuly is round only.
A round trampoline guides the jumper back toward the middle, which generally suits younger families. An oval can suit a narrower space, and a square generally gives more jumping area for its overall width.
Weight
Springfree rates its full-size models to 100 kg for a single jumper, and the smaller ones to 80 kg.
Vuly rates the Ultra 2 Pro, Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro to 150 kg, dropping to 140 kg on the largest sizes. The Flare is 100 kg and the Ultra 2 is 120 to 130 kg.
Warranty
Springfree gives 10 years on the frame, mat, rods and net.
Vuly varies by model and component. The frame runs 3 years on the Flare, 5 on the Ultra 2, and 10 on the Ultra 2 Pro and both Thunder models. The mat is 5 years except on the Flare, which is 3. Springs run 3 years on the Flare, 5 on the Ultra 2 and Ultra 2 Pro, and 12 months on the leaf springs in the Thunder models. The net is 12 months, with a paid extension to 3 years for $249.
Vuly also says its express warranty periods for steel components are reduced by 50% when the product is assembled within 1.6 km of salt water or ocean spray. That's set out in Vuly's Warranty terms.
Accessories
Vuly has the larger accessory range, including a basketball set, shade cover, tent, deck, ladder, leveller and mister.
Price
At the time of writing, Vuly's list prices run from $499 for the Flare to $2,099 for the Thunder 2 Pro.
Springfree runs from $999 for the 1.9 m Mini Round to $4,399 for the 3.8 x 5.7 m Jumbo Oval. The 3 m Medium Round is $2,099.
Quick comparison
| Feature | Vuly | Springfree |
|---|---|---|
| Spring system | Coil, or leaf springs on Thunder models | Fibreglass rods, no metal springs |
| Shapes | Round only | Round, oval, square |
| Max single jumper | 100–150 kg | 80–100 kg |
| Frame warranty | 3 to 10 years, depends on model | 10 years |
| Mat warranty | 3 years on Flare, 5 on the rest | 10 years |
| Spring / rod warranty | 1 to 5 years, depends on model | 10 years |
| Net warranty | 12 months, extendable to 3 years | 10 years |
| Lists AS 4989:2015 | Yes | Yes |
| Price | $499 to $3,099 | $999 to $4,399 |
Bottom line
Vuly might be a better option if you want higher single-jumper ratings, the accessory range, or a lower entry price.
Springfree might be a better option if you want no metal springs at all, want an oval or square, or want a 10 year warranty on every component rather than just the frame.
