Mini trampolines are a fun, inexpensive way to exercise at home. These devices are portable, they don't take up too much room and they can be used in any room of the house. The best mini trampolines have high quality components such as reliable springs and a good mat for bouncing. Some even have safety features such as a handle bar for balance control.
ReboundAIR
ReboundAIR backs its mini trampolines with a lifetime warranty on all components including a replacement policy for "wear and tear" if it becomes necessary. The frame finish has a baked enamel coat compared to spray paint used on other models. The manufacturer suggested retail price for the standard model of this mini trampoline is $229.95 as of 2010.
The steel springs have a soft bounce with high resilience. The manufacturer claims that the springs are tested by the Department of Engineering at Brigham Young University. The mat is made from industrial-strength Permatron, with 9 rows of stitching and a special pattern over the top called "X within the Box," which the manufacturer claims keeps the mat from sagging over time.
Urban Rebounder
Consumer Reports tested the Urban Rebounde, and half of the employees who tested the trampoline said they would probably buy one.
The Urban Rebounder folds for easy storage and it includes a carrying bag. The trampoline has a stabilizing bar with a padded top that you can hold on to until you get used to rebounding. The Urban Rebounder has a one-year warranty.
This trampoline is one of the best because it is designed for varying body weights from 90 pounds to 300 pounds. The frame is steel, and the trampoline has jumbo springs and steel pins to absorb shock. The mat is made with 1000 stitches for extra durability.
Consumer Reports says the price of the Urban Rebounder is $90.00 as of 2010. This price includes the folding model, the stabilizing bar, six workouts on a DVD and the instruction manual.
Needak Rebounder
Needak rebounder mini trampolines come in folding or non-folding types in either black or blue. The folding Needak rebounder is portable, which makes it perfect for travelers or for those who live in a small apartment. The Needak "Soft-Bounce" rebounder weighs about 25 pounds for easy carrying.
Needak rebounders have Permatron mats mounted on a steel frame to support your weight comfortably. The round frame on these mini trampolines allows for even stress on all components including the mat, springs, and frame. Additionally, Needak uses barrel-shaped springs to absorb more impact.
The manufacturer suggested retail price for a folding Soft Bounce Needak Rebounder is $319.00 as of 2010. The manufacturer suggested retail price for a non-folding model is $289.00 as of 2010. The stabilizing bar for balance is available for an extra $74.00.
