Difference between Gymnastics Trampoline Beds

One of the common questions I get asked from customers is what the difference is between the different beds you can put on your gymnastics trampoline.  We offer 5 different types of trampoline beds including the basic black polypropylene bed, high performance black polypropylene bed, USA string bed, Ausi string bed, and the new web bed.  The black polypropylene bed is intended for recreational use, while the other 4 beds are intended for more advanced levels of training and competitive use.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of each type of trampoline bed:

Types of Gymnastics Trampoline Beds
