Springs or bungees, and a diameter that is measured two ways
A fitness trampoline — a rebounder — is a small frame with a mat and a suspension system, and the suspension is the fork in the road. Steel springs are cheap, durable and audible; they give a firm, fast bounce and they are the noisy option in a flat. Elastic bungees are quieter and softer, they wear and stretch with use, and the good ones are replaceable and sold as spares — whether they are is worth checking before buying, because a rebounder with unavailable bungees is disposable. The second thing to read carefully is the diameter, because it is published two ways: the frame diameter and the jumping surface are different figures, and a 122 cm frame gives a mat well under a metre. The one that matters for use is the mat. Then the published user weight, which on a rebounder is a dynamic load and should be stated as such. The legs — how many, whether they screw in or fold, and what caps them — decide how it sits on a hard floor and whether it marks it. A handlebar is an option on most models and the only thing that makes a rebounder usable by someone with balance problems; where it is adjustable, the height range is published. And the folded size, since folding is the reason to choose this over a treadmill at all. We compare diameter, suspension type, frame height, max user weight, folded size and handle bar.
Ø 101.6 cm, 32 bungees, folds to 38 × 73 cm
A folding rebounder that publishes its bungee count, its tube diameter and its folded size — three figures most of this shelf leaves out.
Best for: A small flat where the folded dimension decides the purchase
150 kg dynamic / 450 kg static, 28 latex bungees
The only listing in this entire catalogue to publish a dynamic load and a static load as two separate figures — 150 kg and 450 kg — on the product where the distinction matters most.
Best for: Anybody who wants to know which load figure they are actually reading
Ø 120 cm, two bungee tensions, 5 bands supplied
The only rebounder here offered in two bungee tensions, so the bounce is chosen rather than accepted — at Ø 120 cm with five resistance bands in the box.
Best for: Somebody who knows whether they want a soft or a firm bounce
Ø 104 cm, folds to 78 × 24 × 25 cm in 3 seconds
The most completely dimensioned rebounder here: assembled and folded sizes, frame tube thickness, handle heights and capacity — with a fold stated at three seconds.
Best for: Daily use in a room where it has to be up and away again quickly
Ø 102 cm, rubber cord suspension, handle 91–122 cm
A folding rebounder on rubber cords with a five-position padded handle from 91 to 122 cm, supplied with a carry bag.
Best for: A household where the handle height has to suit several people
Ø 126 cm, rubber cord suspension, 130 kg
A Ø 126 cm frame on rubber cords from a maker with twenty years stated and service in Hamburg — sold on quiet running in a flat.
Best for: A flat where the largest round frame still has to be quiet
Octagonal 130 × 125 cm, safety pins, bands included
An octagonal frame at 130 × 125 cm with pre-fitted bungees and safety pins, supplied with mobility bands and a three-position handrail.
Best for: A larger jumping area where the frame has to be up and locked quickly
Oval 92 × 142 cm, 40 steel springs, 100 kg
The only oval frame here and the only one on steel springs — forty of them, stated to be individually replaceable when they wear.
Best for: A larger jumping surface, where the extra area matters more than silence
98 cm jumping surface, patented jumping points
The only rebounder here that publishes its jumping surface rather than its frame — 98 cm — with patented markings on the mat and an industrial-weave fabric.
Best for: Somebody who wants the surface measured rather than the frame
Only the specifications at least four models out of five state. A column that is more empty than full compares nothing.
