Quick Answer: The Vuly Thunder 2 (from $1,099) is the best all-around Vuly trampoline — a springless leaf-spring design rated to 331 lb per jumper with a 10-year frame warranty, available in 12 and 14 ft sizes. Buyers on a tighter budget should look at the traditional-spring Vuly Ultra 2 (from $499, also 330 lb per jumper), and the smallest footprint or entry-level buy is the Vuly Lift 2 (from around $699 on Amazon) — which, despite costing less than the Ultra 2, actually carries the same 10-year frame warranty as the premium Thunder line. Across the whole Vuly range, per-jumper weight ratings stay close to 330 lb regardless of model, a tighter spread than most brands we cover on this site.
Vuly traces back to 2007, when Joe Andon — who’d been running his own marketing business since he was 16 — started the company as Trampolines Australia out of his own room, funded by a loan from his parents and his personal savings. The company set up headquarters in Wakerley, Australia in 2009 and grew fast: by 2012, Vuly trampolines were in more than 400 stores across Australia and internationally. Its signature contribution to trampoline design is the Thunder line’s leaf-spring system, which the brand still builds its springless safety pitch around today. Vuly now ships to the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe, and its products carry Australia’s AS4989:2015 trampoline safety standard alongside ASTM certification on US-market listings.

By the numbers
- 331 lb vs. 330 lb — the per-jumper rating gap across Vuly’s entire lineup is effectively zero, versus a 250–425 lb spread across brands like Zupapa and Skywalker on this site (Vuly / manufacturer specifications).
- 10-year frame warranty on the $699 Lift 2, only 5 years on the $499–$799 Ultra line — Vuly’s frame coverage doesn’t scale with price the way most brands’ does; the Thunder line matches the Lift 2’s 10-year term at a much higher price point (Vuly’s official warranty page).
- 2007 → 2012: five years from Joe Andon founding the company as Trampolines Australia out of his own room to Vuly trampolines being sold in 400+ stores worldwide (Vuly company history).
- AS4989:2015 — the Australian trampoline safety standard Vuly certifies its full range against, in addition to ASTM certification on its US-market Amazon listings.
1. Vuly Thunder 2 — Best Overall / Best Springless
Vuly Thunder 2 Trampoline with Leaf-Spring Springless Design
- Springless leaf-spring system: flat steel poles shaped like leaves flex to create bounce, replacing coiled springs without hiding the mechanism entirely below the mat the way Springfree does.
- 331 lb (150 kg) per-jumper rating — the highest confirmed figure in Vuly's current lineup.
- 10-year frame warranty, 5-year jump mat warranty, 1-year warranty on the safety net, poles and leaf springs.
- Certified to Australia's AS4989:2015 standard, with ASTM certification on US-market listings.
The Thunder 2 is the model Vuly built its safety reputation on — no exposed coil springs means no pinch points at the mat edge, while the leaf-spring geometry still delivers a noticeably livelier bounce than a fully spring-free system like Springfree’s. It’s the pick for households that want springless safety without dropping to a sub-250 lb weight rating. Ordering a trampoline this size online is exactly the kind of freight-shipped purchase where a free Amazon Music Unlimited trial makes the multi-hour assembly session go faster.
2. Vuly Ultra 2 — Best Budget
Vuly Ultra 2 Trampoline with Extra-Tall Enclosure
- Traditional coil-spring design — 70 springs on the Large size, 84 on the XL, at 5.5 in each — with a two-layer rebound system Vuly markets as boosting momentum based on the jumper's weight.
- 330 lb per-jumper rating, matching the springless Thunder line despite the traditional spring design.
- 15 in taller enclosure netting than Vuly's older models, per current product specs.
- 5-year frame warranty, 5-year springs and mat warranty, 1-year on the safety net and pads — the shortest frame term in the current Vuly lineup.
The Ultra 2 is Vuly’s entry point into the brand at less than half the Thunder 2’s starting price, and it doesn’t give up weight capacity to get there — 330 lb per jumper is only 1 lb behind the Thunder’s rating. The trade-off is warranty length and the springless design; budget-conscious families who don’t mind traditional coil springs get most of Vuly’s build quality for roughly $600 less than the Thunder 2.
3. Vuly Thunder 2 Pro — Best Premium / Reinforced
Vuly Thunder 2 Pro Springless Trampoline
- Same leaf-spring springless platform as the standard Thunder 2, in a reinforced, larger-size configuration Vuly markets as its flagship model.
- 331 lb per-jumper rating, same as the standard Thunder 2.
- Same warranty tier as the Thunder 2: 10-year frame, 5-year mat, 1-year net/poles/leaf springs.
- Price varies meaningfully by size — Vuly's own site shows this model starting anywhere from roughly $1,299 to $1,999 depending on the diameter selected, so confirm the exact size before comparing prices across retailers.
Buy the Thunder 2 Pro over the standard Thunder 2 when the larger size options and reinforced build are worth the premium — the weight rating and warranty terms are identical between the two, so the Pro upgrade is about size and build reinforcement, not a materially safer trampoline.
4. Vuly Ultra 2 Pro — Best Mid-Tier Upgrade
Vuly Ultra 2 Pro Trampoline
- Same coil-spring Ultra platform as the standard Ultra 2, with upgraded enclosure and accessory features at a higher price point.
- 330 lb per-jumper rating, consistent with the rest of the Ultra line.
- Same 5-year frame, 5-year springs/mat, 1-year net/pads warranty structure as the standard Ultra 2 — the Pro upgrade doesn't extend coverage.
The Ultra 2 Pro sits between the base Ultra 2 and the Thunder line on price, but it’s still a traditional coil-spring trampoline under an upgraded enclosure — buyers who specifically want the springless leaf-spring design should spend the extra money on a Thunder 2 instead rather than the Ultra 2 Pro.
5. Vuly Lift 2 — Best Entry-Level
Vuly Lift 2 Trampoline with Enclosure
- Coil-spring design at Vuly's lowest price point on Amazon, where sizes and bundle contents (some listings add a weather tent) vary by listing.
- 330 lb per-jumper rating — matching the pricier Ultra 2, not a reduced entry-level figure.
- 10-year frame warranty, 5-year springs and mat warranty, 1-year on safety components — the same 10-year frame term as the Thunder line, despite costing hundreds less.
The Lift 2 is the honest budget pick in Vuly’s range: it doesn’t cut the frame warranty or the weight rating to hit a lower price the way the mid-tier Ultra line does. For families who want a name-brand trampoline with a long-term frame guarantee but don’t need the springless design, the Lift 2 is the better value than the Ultra 2 at a comparable or lower price.
Decoding Vuly’s warranty tiers
Most brands on this site tie warranty length to price — pay more, get longer coverage. Vuly doesn’t follow that pattern. Its Lift 2 (the cheapest model) and both Thunder models (the most expensive) share the same 10-year frame warranty, while the Ultra and Ultra 2 Pro — priced in between — carry only 5 years on the frame. That’s not a flaw so much as a reflection of engineering priorities: the Thunder line’s leaf-spring frame and the Lift 2’s simpler build both apparently earned Vuly’s longest-term confidence, while the Ultra’s traditional spring-and-frame combination gets a shorter term despite the mid-range price. The practical takeaway: don’t assume a higher Vuly price buys a longer warranty — check the specific model’s terms on Vuly’s warranty page before comparing against other brands.
How to choose the right Vuly
- Want springless safety, not just a lower spring count? The Thunder 2 or Thunder 2 Pro are Vuly’s only leaf-spring models — the Ultra and Lift lines both use traditional coil springs.
- Weight rating won’t drive your decision. Every current Vuly model lands within 1 lb of 330 lb per jumper, so pick based on price, warranty and springless design instead of hunting for a higher-capacity SKU.
- Check the frame warranty by model, not by price. The $699 Lift 2 and the $1,099+ Thunder 2 both carry 10 years; the $499–$799 Ultra line carries 5.
- Confirm the exact size before comparing prices. Thunder 2 Pro pricing spans roughly $1,299 to $1,999 depending on diameter — a size mismatch is the most common reason two “Thunder 2 Pro” prices look different.
- One jumper at a time, regardless of model. Vuly’s per-jumper weight rating — like every brand on this site — assumes a single active jumper, not a combined household total.
The bottom line
The Vuly Thunder 2 (from $1,099) is the best Vuly trampoline for most families who want springless safety without dropping below a 300+ lb weight rating. Budget buyers should look at the Vuly Ultra 2 (from $499), and the Vuly Lift 2 (from ~$699) is the better entry-level pick specifically because it keeps the same 10-year frame warranty as the premium Thunder line.
