Springfree Trampolines – The World’s Most Advanced Trampoline
Trampolines have been the same for the last couple of decades, with the exception of a few companies who are looking to make the next big breakthrough in trampoline technology.
Springfree Trampolines have developed what they call the most advanced and safest trampoline ever made.
Springfree Trampoline Company has found a way to eliminate the use of springs and have truly made a springless trampoline that works even better than it sounds.
By eliminating the springs, there is far less risk of injury with kids getting pinched, getting their hair stuck, or worse.
What is a Spring Free Trampoline?
You are probably wondering how a trampoline works without springs. This is allowed with the use of high tension rods.
These rods are placed under the trampoline at an angle to keep them out of the way of the jumper and adding a layer of safety to the trampoline.
The rods work in unison to provide a stable and strong bounce without the many risks of old fashioned springs.

Springfree Safety Features
The Springfree brand has many game changing safety features that are unlike any other trampoline out there. They use plastic composite tension rods to provide the bounce to the mat. Additionally, the tension rods eliminate the need for springs and the risk of pinching your skin or hair while jumping.
The frame is located below the jumping mat on Springfree trampolines. This prevents the jumper from making contact with the unforgiving frame of a traditional trampoline. Most trampoline accidents occur when a jumper falls off the trampoline or makes contact with the frame.
The enclosure bars are flexible and do not let jumpers hit the ground. The net enclosure rods are designed to prevent the trampoline from tipping over, while also keeping the jumper in an upright position and unharmed.
Springfree Trampoline Vs. Spring Trampoline – Key Differences
We also want to point out a few of the main differences between a Springfree trampoline and a traditional backyard trampoline.
- Springfree trampolines do not have springs (shocker, huh?) They use composite rods to provide the tension for the trampoline mat.
- The frame on a Springfree trampoline is located underneath the trampoline mat and out of harm's way. A traditional trampoline’s frame is exposed and poses a risk to jumpers.
- The safety enclosure is designed to “give” on a Springfree trampoline, preventing the trampoline from tipping over and keeping the jumper safe from hitting the ground.
- Springfree trampolines have a smart jumping mat that allows the Tgoma tablet to interact with the jumpers in real time. No other trampoline on the market has this feature.
- Springfree trampolines are more expensive than traditional trampolines. The extra cost is justified by the amazing safety features and technology integration that is specific to only this brand of trampolines.
History of SpringFree Trampolines
After 15 years of development, Dr. Keith Alexander has invented the safest and most innovative trampoline of all time. Dr. Alexander started early prototypes for a safer trampoline, trying inflatable and other prototypes that were not all that great.
Dr. Alexander's ideas came together in 1997-1998 when he made the first miniature model that reflects the main design elements you see today.
Dr. Alexander then partnered with Steven Holmes in 2002 to continue development of the springless alternative. By working together, they eliminated most of the safety risks that traditional trampolines were notorious for.
Over the course of 2003-2005, Springfree trampolines went global as a company and they haven’t looked back since. In 2010 they were awarded product of the year, and they continue to grow and evolve as one of the best trampoline manufactures on this planet.
Final Thoughts
The innovative designs and features of springless trampolines are leading the trampoline industry. These products are not only fun and interactive, but also safe. You will notice they cost a bit more than some of the old school type trampolines, but if you ask us you can’t really put a price on your kids' safety.
