SkyBound vs Upper Bounce

Upper Bounce logo

SkyBound and Upper Bounce have unusually similar origins: both are best known to many owners as replacement-parts brands — the name on the box when you reorder a mat, net, or set of springs — and both also sell complete trampolines. If you are comparing their complete sets, the two ranges differ far more than the shared parts heritage suggests.

Upper Bounce (a Machrus brand) sells coil-spring rounds from 7 ft 6 in to 16 ft, plus a line of gymnastics-style rectangles and squares rated to 500 lb per jumper — one of the more affordable ways to get a large rectangle. The trade-off is warranty: Machrus gives 6 months on jumping mats and metal parts, and 30 days on covers and other parts, which is among the shortest coverage of any brand we track.

SkyBound also started in parts, supplying other brands from 2009 before launching its own trampolines. Its complete range covers several coil lines, rectangles including the AltitudeX, and a springless line using bungee cords and fiberglass rods. Frame coverage is 5 years on nearly every line, with parts coverage of 1 to 5 years by series.

Below we compare the two on warranty coverage, rectangle options, weight limits, and the springless question.

Key differences to think about

  • Warranty gap: This is the largest warranty difference on any page in this series — SkyBound covers frames for 5 years while Upper Bounce covers mats and metal parts for 6 months and other components for 30 days.
  • Gymnastics rectangles: Upper Bounce's rectangle sets rate 500 lb per jumper at $1,190–$1,405, competing directly with SkyBound's AltitudeX 10ft×17ft at $1,299 with a 10-year frame warranty.
  • Round weight limits: Both brands rate their mainstream rounds at 330 lb per jumper, so capacity is not a deciding factor for standard sizes.
  • Springless option: SkyBound offers a springless line using bungee cords and fiberglass rods, while Upper Bounce's entire range uses coil springs.
  • Parts heritage: Both brands sell replacement parts for other manufacturers' trampolines, so whichever complete set you choose, both companies are practiced at keeping trampolines running.
