min read
If you’re in the market for a trampoline, you must strongly consider one that can hold a lot of weight.
The weight that a trampoline can safely hold is one of the most important features to note when examining trampolines.
With over two decades of trampoline expertise, we at Springfree rounded up the four best high-weight capacity trampolines you can buy for 2024.
Make sure to read until the end, because we’re giving away advice that may save you thousands of dollars in the long run!
What Makes a High-Weight Capacity Trampoline?
Before jumping into the list, we must establish what a high-weight capacity trampoline is.
In the trampoline industry, weight limits are broken down into two criteria:
1. Single Jumper Weight Limit – This is the maximum weight set by the manufacturer that a trampoline can safely hold when a jumper reaches maximum height. It protects jumpers from falling through the trampoline (“bottoming out”).
Here is a visual depiction of the rationale behind the single jumper weight limits of the small Springfree Trampolines:
You CAN still jump if you weigh over a trampoline’s weight limit, but your risk of bottoming out will increase if you reach maximum height.
2. Maximum Structural Weight – This is the total amount of static weight a trampoline can hold without collapsing or damaging itself. Oftentimes, this will be much higher than the single jumper weight limit (as you’ll see when we get to the List).
While the single jumper weight limit is more important for you to note, the maximum structural weight limit can indicate how strong the trampoline’s structure is and could foreshadow how long it’ll last through the seasons.

4 Best High-Weight Capacity Trampolines for Families
Since this article is focused specifically on trampolines that can hold a lot of weight, we will focus our attention on factors such as size, longevity, jumping room, warranty and cost.
These are just some considerations to assess when buying a trampoline.
Safety features, design, installation and accessories are other crucial checklist items to cross off when finding your perfect trampoline.
For this article, though, we chose trampolines based on their weight limits and gave you our educated analysis of what’s noteworthy about their features relating to size, weight and durability.
We chose four heavy-duty trampolines in different price ranges so that there’s a fit for every budget.
***This List is ordered from least to most expensive!
1. Jumpzylla 12 ft Trampoline
Key Features
Single Jumper Weight Limit: 400 lbs
Maximum Structural Weight: Not listed
Dimensions: 144"L x 144"W x 30"H
Cost: $389.95
Expert Insight
Jumpzylla’s 12 ft Trampoline has a notably high single jumper weight limit of 400 pounds for a relatively affordable price. We could not find a maximum structural weight for this product.
If you’re looking for a low-cost, high-weight capacity backyard trampoline, Jumpzylla’s 12 ft Trampoline is one to look into.
Before purchasing, it’s important to note that they only warrant the trampoline for one year.
This means that you could be replacing key parts like the frame, enclosure net and springs within 365 days of use.
Also, don’t neglect the jumping space factor.
While the frame is 12 ft, the mat is more like 10 ft since the springs take off roughly 2 ft of bouncing room.
Although this trampoline can hold a good amount of weight per jumper, those with long-term trampoline goals may want to consider the other models on this List.

2. Zupapa Upgraded 14 ft Trampoline
Key Features
Single Jumper Weight Limit: 425 lbs
Maximum Structural Weight: 1,500 lbs
Dimensions: 168"L x 168"W x 107"H
Cost: $719.99
Expert Insight
Zupapa’s Upgraded 14 ft Trampoline has the best combination of single jumper and maximum structural weight on this List.
At $719.99, it is priced reasonably for a decent-quality trampoline and could be a fit for families looking for a mid-budget trampoline to last for a few years.
Its warranty coverage on components besides the frame (which is 10 years) could be a concern for families looking for a long-term trampoline.
The mat, padding, net and springs are all covered for two years. This means you might need to replace key parts within two years of use to upkeep it properly.
The same logic on jumping space that applied to Jumpzylla’s Trampoline also applies to Zupapa’s – it is technically 14 feet but only provides about 12 feet of bouncing room.
From a weight capacity standpoint, it’s a very solid trampoline.
On quality, durability and bounce space, it is about average compared to similarly priced models and well below what premium trampolines offer.

3. Vuly Thunder Pro Large Trampoline
Key Features
Single Jumper Weight Limit: 330 lbs
Maximum Structural Weight: 1,650 lbs
Dimensions: 172"L x 145"W x 119"H
Cost: $1,299
Expert Insight
The Vuly Thunder Pro Trampoline grades extremely well on weight capacity.
A 330-pound single jumper weight limit is excellent for its size (around 14 ft) and its maximum structural weight is the highest we’ve seen among the mainstream trampoline brands.
The frame and mat quality is solid (warranty of 5-10 years) but the net, net poles, skirt and springs are only covered for a year – below average for a $1,000+ trampoline.
You’re also only getting about the equivalent jump space of a 12 ft trampoline due to the springs – something to consider for older kids, teens and adults.
If your goal is to find a high-weight capacity trampoline, Vuly’s Thunder Pro would be a worthy option for budgets in the $1,000 range.

4. Springfree Large Oval Trampoline
Key Features
Single Jumper Weight Limit: 220 lbs
Maximum Structural Weight: 1,500 lbs
Dimensions: 96"L x 156"W x 106.8"H
Cost: $1,799
Expert Insight
The Springfree Large Oval Trampoline (8 ft x 13 ft) has a good single jumper weight limit of 220 pounds. It is not the best for a trampoline of its size but is around the industry standard.
Its maximum structural weight of 1,500 pounds is near the top among the mainstream trampoline brands (behind Vuly).
The quality of the Large Oval Trampoline is backed by a 10-year warranty on all parts (the only company to offer this).
The key differentiating factor for all Springfree Trampolines regarding size is the mat size is about the same as the frame dimensions.
Since there are no springs, you get 8 ft x 13 ft worth of jump space (92 square feet). A similar spring-based trampoline would take off roughly 2 ft of jump space.
Springfree’s single jumper weight limits are not as large as the other three brands on this list, but they will likely last longer without needing replacement parts.
Combined with industry-leading safety features, longevity and durability are reasons why you would want to invest in this trampoline – even if it is a high upfront price.
Which High-Weight Capacity Trampoline Is Right for You?

Our last bit of advice on weight limits and size: don’t just buy for now.
Make sure you get a trampoline that will grow (and last) with your children.
If you are unsure that a trampoline will be able to last through your child’s growth spurt, buy bigger.
That way, you only have to go shopping for a trampoline one time.
Happy jumping!
