Best Trampoline Springs

It can be a scary experience for any new trampoline owners when their trampoline spring breaks for the first time. But if you bought a trampoline for your backyard, it’s inevitable. Sooner or later, there will come a day when you need to replace the stock springs that came with your trampoline.

I, being a long-time trampoline owner myself, have gotten into the habit of keeping backup springs in my home for when it eventually breaks. Replacement springs are pretty affordable, and once you get the hang of it, swapping them out isn’t all too difficult, either.

But for a first-timer, things will, no doubt, feel pretty complicated. Then again – let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The first step to replacing the springs is to get the best replacement springs. And that is a whole other battle entirely.

There are thousands of options out there, after all, and each spring seems the same to the uninitiated. Well, that’s where I come in.

Buying a set of replacement springs for your trampoline might feel complicated at first, but there really isn’t much to it. Here are some of the best trampoline springs that I have used over the years. So, if you’re short on time, going with any of the following should give you a good performance.

1- Upper Bounce Heavy-Duty Premium Trampoline Springs

Upper Bounce trampolines are considered some of the best out there; that much is common knowledge. But did you know that their aftermarket trampoline parts and accessories are also not to be overlooked? If you don’t mind the price, the Heavy-Duty Premium Trampoline Springs by Upper Bounce is a no-brainer.

This is the spring that I keep coming back to whenever my trampoline springs require changing – well, this and another one that I’ll get to in a bit. It’s built well, is available in multiple sizes, and will easily last you one or two years easily if you take care of it. That is why it deserves the top spot on this list.

With a brand as big as Upper Bounce, there’s one thing that you can be certain of when you’re buying something – the build quality. The springs in this bundle are made of premium galvanized steel that resists weather effects such as rust or corrosion. So even if you keep your trampoline out in the rain, you don’t need to worry about the springs cracking or breaking anytime soon.

The hooks in the springs have an increased curvature than normal. This small change might not seem like a big deal, but in practice, it lets the spring stay on a lot more securely. So you don’t have to worry about the springs coming off when you jump on your trampoline.

With your purchase, you’ll be getting a total of 15 springs. So if you have a larger trampoline, you might need to invest in an additional set. But since I keep my springs maintained, I usually have no issues getting a single set and replacing only the springs that feel rusted or on the verge of breaking.

The best thing about this trampoline replacement spring set is that it comes in all sizes. So whether you have a small trampoline or a big one, you should be able to find the spring size that’s suitable for you. In any case, I would recommend consulting your instruction manual before committing to a spring size.

The only real drawback of this spring is that it’s expensive. But then again, you are buying an Upper Bounce trampoline, and that level of quality does not come cheap. On the bright side, though, the springs come with a warranty period of 6 months, which speaks volumes about their durability.

So, in the end, it’s your decision whether you prioritize price or performance. If you’re the type that doesn’t settle for anything but the best, the Upper Bounce Heavy-Duty Premium Trampoline Springs is the only option out there that makes sense.

2- TreeLen 5.5-7 Inch Trampoline Springs Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Replacement Springs, Set of 16

I don’t care much for brand names. Sure, when I manage to find a branded product at a decent price, I jump at the chance as much as the other guy. But if I find something that I love, even if it’s from a brand that I haven’t heard of before, I at least try to give it a fair shot.

The best part about this buying habit is that I often manage to find amazing products that I wouldn’t try otherwise. And that’s exactly what happened with the TreeLen Trampoline Springs. The brand might not be as popular as Upper Bounce or SkyBound, but the quality of their trampoline springs is impeccable.

The build quality of the spring is pretty amazing. In fact, when I put them next to the Upper Bounce Heavy-Duty ones, I couldn’t tell the difference between them apart from the curved design of the Upper Bounce springs. The spring boasts a high-tensile strength with its galvanized steel construction.

The standard hook design of this set of springs does seem like a downgrade if you were using the Upper Bounce springs before, but it’s still stable enough to give you a good jumping experience when you set it up. Once installed, it remains tightly anchored to the frame and gives you a nice bit of bounce on the trampoline.

With your purchase, you’ll get 16 springs instead of the standard 15. Now the extra spring might not mean much, but if you want to mix and match old springs with new ones, this might make all the difference. And if you have a smaller trampoline, you might be able to get away with a single pack of this spring.

Now there are not many downsides with this spring, apart from two issues. Firstly, you don’t get too many size options with this spring. You either have to go with the 5.5-inch option, which is fine for trampolines smaller than 10 or 12 feet, or the 7-inch option, which is perfect for 14 feet trampolines or above.

And another downside is that it’s expensive. Since the brand is not as well-known, I expected it to be priced lower. However, it costs pretty much the same as Upper Bounce, which means if you manage to find the Upper Bounce springs, it’s almost always better to go with that one.

Still, if you’re feeling adventurous and want to give a new set of springs a try, this is a solid option to go with. It works well as long as it’s compatible with your trampoline. You also get a hook puller with your purchase to help you set it up with minimal hassle.

3- Eurmax USA Trampoline Springs

Trampoline replacement springs, even the top-tier ones, aren’t that expensive. Most of the time, the price ranges somewhere between 20 to 30 bucks for a pack of 15 or 20 springs. So price really isn’t a huge limitation when you’re choosing a set of replacement springs for your trampoline.

Then again, if you feel the standard price of trampoline springs is a bit much for you, you definitely can go with one that offers a bigger value for its price. The Eurmax USA trampoline springs, for instance, come at a slightly lower price which means you can get a double pack for a better price.

But does that mean the quality of the spring is any less? Well, at least this time, not really. The Eurmax USA Trampoline Spring has been one of my favorite sets of replacement springs for ages because its quality is on par with what you get with the Upper Bounce replacement springs.

This trampoline spring is made with high-quality galvanized spring, which means rain or snow will have no effect on it. In addition, the high-tensile strength of the springs ensures durable performance for years to come. It can survive all sorts of abuse without a single complaint.

But the downside here is that you don’t get too many size options with it. Similar to the TreeLen trampoline springs, you only get to choose between 5.5 or 7 inches. So while it’s alright for the standard backyard trampolines, for larger top-tier trampolines, you might need to go with a different one.

Remember how I said this trampoline spring set offers a better value? It’s not only because of its price but rather how it comes with a pack of 20 instead of the standard 15 at that price. So you’ll spend fewer dollars per spring by going with this trampoline replacement spring set.

Now there is one other issue that is worth talking about. While the one that I used was built well, my friend bought one and had one of his springs break only after a couple of use. But then again, it may have been that he was unlucky and got a bad batch of springs by accident.

In any case, if you don’t need a bigger size than 7 inches, this is a great set of springs to go with. It’s built well and should suffice for any backyard 14 feet trampolines or smaller model. And since it’s cheap, you’ll also be able to stock up on a couple of sets for future use.

4- SkyBound Universal Replacement Trampoline Springs with Spring Tool

If there’s one brand that can go toe-to-toe with Upper Bounce for trampoline parts and accessories, it would be SkyBound. While their trampolines are not at the same level as Upper Bounce or Skywalker, when it comes to things like trampoline springs, they are the bigger fish in the sea.

Of course, that also means their parts are pricier. In fact, the SkyBound Universal Replacement Trampoline Springs cost a bit more than even the Upper Bounce spring that I mentioned above. But then again, if you want unfaltering quality, this should be your top pick.

Featuring a full stainless-steel construction with an additional zinc coating, the build quality of these springs is not to be questioned. No matter the weather condition, these springs will be able to survive it all. So, if you’re the type who doesn’t maintain his trampoline all too often, these springs are the ones you need.

As for its quantity – you have a couple of options. The basic pack comes with 12 springs which is fine if you need to replace one or two springs quickly in your trampoline. But if you need to replace the whole set, going with the 48-pack might be a better idea.

Similar to the Upper Bounce replacement springs, the size option with SkyBound is pretty flexible. The smallest size you could buy is around 3.5 inches which is perfect for mini rebounders. And the biggest one, which is 8.5 inches, is well-suited for high-quality 16 feet trampolines or bigger ones.

Since this spring set comes with a free spring puller, you can get to installation the moment you get your hands on it. The quality of the spring puller is pretty nice, with a long, firm handle for you to grip tightly. Installing the spring should go without a hitch if you know what you’re doing.

The only real downside of this spring set is its price. That’s the only reason why I couldn’t give it the top spot. Other than that, there are also some complaints regarding its shipping. But personally, I had no issues with it and got my delivery on time as promised.

The overall build quality of the springs and their durability makes it the perfect pickup if you want the best for your trampoline. It’s pricey, sure – but think of it this way – with this spring set, you won’t have to worry about another replacement anytime soon.

5- AW 5.5-8.25inch Trampoline Springs Heavy Duty Galvanized Steel Replacement Springs

Don’t you hate the fact that trampoline springs mostly come as a pack of 20 or 15? That means if you plan on replacing all the springs on your trampoline, you can’t make do with a single pack. You would need to get a second set, and if shipment gets delayed for one of them, you’ll need to wait around longer.

Well, that won’t be an issue if you decide to go with the AW Heavy Duty Galvanized Steel Replacement Springs. With this trampoline spring, you get to choose from a couple of different bundle options, so you can get all the springs you would need for your trampoline.

Of course, if you go with a larger quantity, it would cost extra. But if you decide to go with the standard 20-pack, it will run you pretty close to what you would have to pay for the Eurmax Trampoline Springs I talked about earlier. So, it’s entirely on you and how much you’re willing to spend.

As for the quality of the springs, I took the time to check out each of the springs in the 20-pack when I first got it. I’ll be honest, I hadn’t heard the name of this brand before, so I was skeptical and wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting ripped off. And frankly, the quality seemed pretty decent.

It’s made of the same galvanized steel that comes in standard trampoline springs. So, I’m pretty sure that it’s not going to break anytime soon. And since it resists rust and corrosion pretty effectively, weather effects such as cold or rain won’t have any effect on it.

The good thing about the trampoline spring is that it’s available in three sizes, giving you a nice range of options to choose from. For smaller trampolines, the 5.5 inches option is perfect. If you have a larger trampoline, you can easily go with the 7 inches option. And for larger gymnastic trampolines, the 8.5 inches spring size is the perfect fit.

There’s no real downside to these trampoline springs, at least none that mattered to me. Some people complained that the bounciness of the spring isn’t as much as the stock springs. But frankly, I didn’t notice it that much. And you don’t get a free spring puller, but since I had one already, it wasn’t a big deal for me. Overall, as a replacement set of springs, the quality of the AW Trampoline Spring is pretty decent. The fact that you can choose the quantity makes for a better shopping experience. So, if you want a quick fix for any broken springs on your trampoline, this is a good choice.

Buying Guide: Best Trampoline Springs

There are many nuances to buying the best trampoline springs. Simply going with the most expensive one out there doesn’t guarantee a good experience. To make sure you get the right springs for your trampoline, you need to consider a couple of different things.

So, now that I’ve covered the best options for you, let me talk a bit about what else you need to think about when buying a set of trampoline springs for yourself.

Types of Trampoline Springs

For most backyard trampolines, steel springs are the standard choice. But there are two other types of springs that you might come across during your research – fiber rods and bungee cords. So, what are they?

Well, if you have a Springfree trampoline, then you’ll find them loaded with fiber rods instead of the standard metal springs. They are more flexible, known to generate more bounce, and also can handle greater weight. But then again, these springs are only suitable for a Springfree trampoline.

Bungee cords, on the other hand, are used in smaller exercise rebounders or indoor trampolines for kids. For backyard trampolines, you still want to get steel springs, but if you have an exercise rebounder, make sure you are going with bungee cords.

Spring Size

Trampoline springs are not universally compatible. They come in different sizes, and if you go with a trampoline spring that doesn’t match the ones that are already on your trampoline, you are in for a tough time.

Now, there are certainly ways to use a smaller or longer spring on your trampoline, but that will require you to change the jumping mat. And changing the jumping mat can also mess with the bounciness. So, save yourself the trouble and get a trampoline spring that’s suitable for your trampoline.

Here’s a quick charge showing you the standard spring length for different trampoline sizes.

Trampoline Type Sizes	Trampoline Size	Spring Sizes
Mini Trampolines/Rebounders	3 to 5 feet	3.5 to 4.5 inches
Small Outdoor	6 to 9 feet	5 to 6 inches
Medium Outdoor	10 to 12 feet	6 to 7 inches
Large Outdoor	14 to 15 feet	6.5 to 7.5 inches
Extra-Large Outdoor	16 feet and above	7 to 9.5 inches

Spring Quantity

Replacement springs for the trampoline don’t come as a single unit. Instead, when you’re going for a replacement spring, you’re buying a pack of 15 or 20 in most cases. Some springs also come as a set of 12. And if you need more, you can also find some options that come as a set of 80.

But with so many different options, it begs the question – which set should you go with? Answer – the one that best fits your requirements.

So, if you need to replace only one or two springs in your trampoline, you should go with a small bundle, replace the broken ones, and keep the rest stocked for later. But if you need to replace the entire set, go with a bundle that comes with a large number of springs.

I also wrote an article on trampoline spring count which you can check out to know more about the relation between spring number and bounciness.

Build Quality

When you’re buying replacement springs for your trampoline, make sure you’re going with one that’s made well. If you’re going with steel springs, check to see if they are galvanized. Galvanized steel springs last longer and also do not rust as easily as regular steel springs.

Checking the warranty on your replacement springs will give you a good indication of how durable it is. Most high-quality trampoline springs come with a warranty period of 6 to 12 months.

Free Spring Puller

Don’t make the mistake of taking a spring puller for granted when you’re buying a set of replacement springs for your trampoline. While most long-time trampoline owners should have a couple of spring pullers lying around their house, if this is your first trampoline, you would need a spring puller to install the new springs.

Many trampoline replacement springs come with a free spring puller when you buy them, eliminating the need to buy one when you want to change your springs. But some options don’t have it included as a bundle. So if this is your first time replacing your springs, I would suggest going with an option that gets you a free spring puller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Replacing the old springs on a trampoline is pretty intimidating for a new user. And even if you manage to snag a good set of replacement springs, you’ll no doubt still have a lot of questions about it. So let me address some of the common questions that people have asked me about it over the years.

When should I replace my trampoline springs?

It entirely depends on the condition of your springs. Ideally, you only want to replace your springs when it becomes unusable. That means if a spring on your trampoline is broken, overstretched, or extremely rusty, it’s time to replace them.

How long do trampoline springs last?

A typical set of springs on a trampoline can last anywhere between 6 months to 2 years. It depends on a couple of factors, such as the location of the trampoline or how much you use it. If you keep the trampoline entirely at the mercy of nature without any shade or cover, the spring will require more frequent replacements.

How to make my springs last longer?

Regardless of how well-made the springs are, they will eventually need to be replaced. But there are certainly some good practices that can help improve its longevity. Keeping a trampoline in the shade or using a rain cover when it’s not in use will help the springs survive longer.

Are longer trampoline springs better?

A longer trampoline spring will offer better bounce compared to a shorter spring. In that sense, it stands to reason that longer trampoline springs are usually better. But it also depends on the size of the trampoline and its quality. I wouldn’t recommend installing longer springs on your trampoline.

Can I go with a longer spring on my trampoline?

Going with a longer spring on your trampoline isn’t really a good idea, as it can make the trampoline unbalanced and unsafe. When it’s time to replace your springs, pull out the old ones from your trampoline, measure them, and get replacement springs of the same size for the best performance.

---

The Bottom Line

It’s always a good idea to keep a fresh stock of springs in your house for when you eventually need to replace the old ones. Springs can break for many reasons. It’s just part of the whole trampoline owner’s experience, and there’s no way around it.

By keeping a set as backup, you won’t have to wait around for days to use the trampoline again. And when you’re buying a new set, it’s best to go with one that gives you a safe and durable performance.

If budget is not an issue, I would always recommend going with either the Upper Bounce or the SkyBound Trampoline Springs. They might cost a bit more, but their performance is unbeatable.

I hope my in-depth review of the best trampoline springs could help you find a good set of replacement springs for your trampoline. Good luck!
