Vuly vs Lifespan Kids

Both of these brands sell springless trampolines, but they are not the same thing. Vuly's Thunder 2 and Thunder 2 Pro use leaf springs set away from the jumping area. Lifespan Kids' HyperJump 3 uses elastic straps instead of steel. Both remove the hard spring from the edge of the mat; they feel different and they are priced very differently.

The Australian standard is the main difference. All sixteen Vuly variants are listed as meeting the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015. Three of eleven Lifespan Kids models are. The Lifespan model that meets the standard is the coil-spring HyperJump 4, not the springless HyperJump 3, which is worth knowing if you are shopping for both the standard and a springless design.

Lifespan Kids is much cheaper, with most of its range sold below Vuly's entry price and often discounted below RRP. Its frame warranty reaches 10 years on some models but drops to 2 on others, so it needs checking model by model, where Vuly's terms are consistent within each line. Lifespan also makes a rectangular model; Vuly is round only.

Choose Vuly if you want every model to meet the standard, consistent warranty terms and a higher weight rating. Choose Lifespan Kids if you want a springless trampoline at a much lower price and are happy to check the specific model's terms.

Quick verdict

Vuly is the premium option: every model meets the standard, weight ratings are higher, and warranties are more consistent. Lifespan Kids is the budget route to a springless mat, with the caveats that the standard applies to only part of the range and warranty varies between models.
