Quick Answer: Upper Bounce (made by Machrus) is the brand our rectangle and square trampoline guides already point to as the budget pick, but it has never gotten its own dedicated review on this site — until now. The 15 ft round ($516.99 direct, 330 lb capacity) is the standard backyard pick, the 9×15 rectangle (500 lb capacity) is the sportier option, and the 40–50 in. mini rebounders ($99–$182) cover indoor fitness use. The catch: Machrus’s own warranty terms (6 months on mat/frame/springs, 30 days on net/pad) are far shorter than Springfree’s or Zupapa’s, and some retailers advertise a different, longer warranty for the identical product — so don’t shop this brand on price and warranty headlines alone.
Upper Bounce shows up by name in our best rectangle trampoline guide and best square trampoline guide as the budget entry point in both shapes, but we’d never given the brand its own side-by-side comparison across its full lineup. Here’s that comparison — round, rectangle, square, and mini — along with the one detail that’s easy to miss when a listing leads with “budget”: the warranty terms are not just short, they’re stated inconsistently depending on where you buy.
By the numbers
- 6 months vs. 10 years — Machrus’s own warranty for the mat, frame, hardware, and springs, versus Springfree’s full 10-year, every-component term covered in our trampoline warranty guide.
- 30 days — Machrus’s own stated coverage on the enclosure net, safety pad, and foam sleeves, the parts most exposed to UV and weather.
- $767–$1,381 — the real-world price spread we found for the identical 9×15 ft Upper Bounce rectangle set, from Walmart’s listing on the low end to Machrus-direct and other resellers on the high end.
- 500 lb vs. 330 lb — the weight-capacity gap between Upper Bounce’s rectangle/square frames and its own 15 ft round, so “Upper Bounce” alone doesn’t tell you the capacity; the shape and size do.
- 0 CPSC recalls found for Machrus or Upper Bounce trampolines as of October 2026, per a direct search of cpsc.gov recall listings.

1. Upper Bounce 15’ Round — Best Overall
Machrus Upper Bounce 15 FT Round Trampoline Set
- 330 lb weight capacity, with a top-ring safety enclosure and spring pad included.
- PP mesh jumping mat with multi-row stitching for even wear resistance.
- Standard backyard round footprint — the closest Upper Bounce model to a Skywalker or Zupapa round at a similar size.
- ASTM-labeled frame and enclosure per the listing, though always confirm the current listing's certification language before buying.
Ordering a trampoline this size means a large, heavy freight box on your porch. Try Amazon Prime free for 30 days for the free two-day shipping on the anchor kit, extra spring tool, and replacement hardware you’ll want on hand before assembly weekend.
The 15 ft round is the Upper Bounce model that competes most directly with the Skywalker and Zupapa rounds in our best trampoline guide. At 330 lb it’s rated lower than Zupapa’s 425 lb per-user figure, so size your buyer to the capacity, not just the price.
2. Upper Bounce 9x15 Rectangle — Best Sport Bounce
Machrus Upper Bounce 9' x 15' Rectangular Trampoline
- 500 lb total weight capacity with a premium top-ring enclosure.
- Directional, even bounce typical of a true rectangle frame — see our best rectangle trampoline guide for how it stacks up against ACON and Skywalker.
- Wide price spread between retailers for what listings describe as the identical set — shop around before assuming any single number is current.
- Machrus's own stated warranty: 6 months on mat/frame/hardware/springs, 30 days on pad/net/foam sleeves.
This is the model where shopping around matters most. We found the same 9×15 set listed at $767 on Walmart and over $1,300 direct from Machrus and other resellers — a gap large enough to erase the “budget” framing entirely if you buy from the wrong place.
3. Upper Bounce 16x16 Square — Best for Max Space
Machrus Upper Bounce 16x16 Square Trampoline
- 500 lb weight capacity, top-ring enclosure and safety pad included in the set.
- Largest usable mat of any Upper Bounce model covered here — see our full best square trampoline guide for how it compares with the Skywalker 15' Square and springless Springfree Large Square.
- Same 6-month/30-day warranty split as the rectangle and round models.
If floor space is the priority, this is the biggest Upper Bounce mat without stepping up to a premium springless brand — but it carries the same short warranty as the rest of the lineup, so budget for wear-part replacements sooner than you would on a Zupapa or ACON.
4. Upper Bounce Mini Rebounder — Best for Fitness
Machrus Upper Bounce 40"-50" Mini Rebounder
- 200–220 lb weight capacity across the 40 in. to 50 in. sizes.
- Foldable frame for storage — several versions include an adjustable T-shaped handbar for balance.
- Indoor fitness use only — not a substitute for a full-size backyard trampoline's enclosure and jump area.
The mini rebounder is the one Upper Bounce product where the price is straightforwardly low and consistent across listings — the wide retailer spread we found on the rectangle doesn’t show up here.
The warranty gap: what “budget” actually costs you later
Machrus’s own product pages state the warranty plainly: 6 months limited coverage on the mat, frame parts, hardware, and springs, and just 30 days limited on the pad, net, and foam sleeves. That’s the shortest soft-parts term of any brand we’ve checked for this site — shorter even than Skywalker’s already-thin 1-year/everything-else term covered in our trampoline warranty guide. Some retailers selling the same Upper Bounce SKUs describe a longer 1-year/90-day term instead, which means the warranty you actually get depends on the listing you buy from, not just the brand name on the box. If a short warranty window matters to your decision, confirm the exact terms with the seller before checkout — don’t assume the number quoted in any single listing, including this one, is still current by the time you buy.
The bottom line
Upper Bounce earns its reputation as the budget pick in our rectangle and square guides, but “budget” only holds if you buy the 9×15 rectangle from the right retailer — the identical set runs from $767 to over $1,300 depending where you shop. The 15 ft round is the standard backyard pick at $516.99, the mini rebounders are a straightforwardly affordable fitness option at $99–$182, and the 16x16 square gives the most usable mat in the lineup. Just budget for a short warranty window — 6 months on the frame and springs, 30 days on the net and pad, per Machrus’s own terms — and plan on replacing soft parts sooner than you would on a Zupapa or Springfree.
