We’ve been covering trampolines for a long time, and this site now has over 70 in-depth guides. Below you’ll find everything organized by topic so you can jump straight to what matters most.

Trampoline Buying Guides

Not sure where to start? These guides walk you through everything — size, shape, safety features, budget, and which trampoline fits your yard and family. If you only read one thing before buying, make it the Ultimate Trampoline Buying Guide. It covers who will be jumping, how much space you need, and what to look for in a quality trampoline.

Best Trampolines by Shape & Type

Shape matters more than most people think. Round trampolines naturally guide jumpers toward the center (safer for kids), while rectangle trampolines deliver a higher, more controlled bounce that gymnasts and athletes prefer. Here’s where to find our detailed picks:

Mini Trampolines & Rebounders

Mini trampolines (also called rebounders) are designed for indoor fitness, low-impact exercise, and sometimes for younger kids. They’re compact, portable, and surprisingly effective for cardio and lymphatic health. If you’re shopping for one, start with our best mini trampoline reviews for a full comparison.

We also have a guide specifically for mini trampolines for kids, as well as advice on mini trampolines for babies and toddlers (with important safety notes). If you’re a heavier user, check our picks for mini trampolines with a 300-pound weight limit.

Trampoline Safety

Safety should be the first thing you think about when buying or using a trampoline. Injuries can happen, but the risk drops dramatically with the right equipment and a few common-sense rules. Start with our guide on are trampolines safe for an honest look at the data, then read about the safest trampoline brands and safety rules to follow.

If you’re weighing traditional spring-based models against newer designs, our spring vs. springfree trampoline comparison breaks down the safety differences. And for a specific use case, we also cover jumping on a trampoline while pregnant.

Trampolines can also be a valuable therapeutic tool — our guide on trampolines for autism explores how bouncing can help with sensory processing and regulation.

Trampoline Exercise & Fitness

Bouncing on a trampoline is one of the most effective low-impact workouts you can do. It’s easier on your joints than running, burns serious calories, and improves balance and coordination. Our trampoline exercise guide covers the fundamentals, while our trampoline workout page includes specific routines you can try at home.

If you’re new to fitness trampolines, the indoor trampoline benefits guide explains why so many people are switching from traditional cardio to rebounding.

Trampoline Parts, Accessories & Replacement Guides

Trampolines are made up of several components, and over time some parts wear out and need replacing. Whether you need a new mat, springs, a safety net, or padding, we’ve got dedicated guides for each:

Trampoline Care & Maintenance

A well-maintained trampoline lasts significantly longer and stays safer to use. Our trampoline care guide covers routine inspections and seasonal upkeep, while our cleaning your trampoline mat guide walks you through keeping the bounce surface in good condition.

Wondering how long your investment will last? Read how long trampolines last for realistic expectations based on brand, materials, and climate.

In-Ground Trampolines

In-ground trampolines sit flush with your lawn for a cleaner look and added safety (no height to fall from). They do require more planning upfront, though. Our guide on how to install an in-ground trampoline covers the full process, and our in-ground trampoline drainage guide tackles the most common issue people run into — standing water under the mat.

Trampoline Fun & Games

Once you’ve got the trampoline set up, the real fun begins. Check out our trampoline games guide for ideas that go beyond just bouncing — great for birthday parties, family time, and keeping kids entertained. We also cover trampoline parks if you want to try before you buy or just have a day out.
