Best Spring-Based Medium Trampolines
The first part of this list will be dedicated to spring-based trampolines, or trampolines that use metal springs to provide the bounce.
If you need further clarity on spring vs. springless trampolines, we have written a detailed article on the key differences between the two trampoline types!

Skywalker 12 ft Round Trampoline
Key Features:
- No-gap enclosure net helps to prevent contact with the springs.
- Trampoline frame is made of galvanised steel.
- Reinforced T-joint construction is used for extra frame stability.
- Padding covering the springs is UV-resistant (ultraviolet light from the sun is harmful to trampoline parts).
- Trampoline Weight Limit: 200 pounds (this is the maximum recommended user weight!)
- Trampoline Warranty: 3-year limited warranty on the trampoline’s frame and 1-year limited warranty on all other parts.
Pros of Skywalker’s 12 ft Round Trampoline
- Relatively affordable for a medium-sized trampoline.
- Takes some safety measures to protect jumpers from hitting the springs.
- Comparatively easy to assemble.
Cons of Skywalker’s 12 ft Round Trampoline
- Low upfront cost and warranty hint that the trampoline may not last past 1-3 years without trampoline replacement part changes.
- Safety concerns: Metal static poles could cause injury to wayward jumpers and inexpensive net could cause a falling injury.
- Uses a basic design that could be considered mundane by some.
- Amount of jumping space is more like 10 ft than 12 ft because of the springs.

- Jumping space is around 2 ft less than its 10 ft trampoline size because of the springs.

Which Medium Trampoline Is Right for You?
There you have it, the four best medium-sized trampolines that stand out for various reasons. Let’s summarise each trampoline in a few words:
- Skywalker’s Medium Trampoline: Affordable, easy to assembly but lacks in safety, quality and design.
- ACON’s Medium Trampoline: Solid bounce, good quality but has noted safety concerns.
- Springfree’s Medium Trampolines: Safest, highest-quality and longest-lasting Trampolines you can buy, but their high upfront price and installation are cons to consider.
Generally speaking, a medium size trampoline is a good fit for families that want something between a small trampoline and a large trampoline. Medium trampolines provide a “happy medium,” so to speak.
Mid-sized trampolines are usually big enough to serve as a trampoline for adults too; however, you will need to adhere to the individual trampoline weight limit specified by the trampoline manufacturer.
