Black Friday trampoline deals: which ones really get cheaper (and which only look cheaper)

Learn which trampolines save real money on Black Friday and which budget discounts are inflated from list prices nobody actually pays.

Halloween is close, there's a muddy rectangle in the yard where the grass gave up, and a trampoline is on the kids' wish list. You've likely seen early "up to 50% off" banners and wondered whether waiting for Black Friday is worth it. In most cases it is, though not equally across trampolines. Large premium models usually save you the most actual dollars. Budget trampolines show the biggest percentages, and those are often taken off list prices nobody pays.

The short answer

Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, the day after Thanksgiving. Cyber Monday is November 30. Nearly every major trampoline brand runs some kind of promotion over that stretch, but the discounts don't all have the same value.

Trampolines.com, a trampoline retailer, says shoppers can "typically save between 10%–30%" over the holidays. It says larger models give the biggest dollar savings and the steepest cuts land on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday weekend. It sells trampolines itself, so read that as a rule of thumb.

Premium and large trampolines: 20% off a $2,000 model saves you hundreds of dollars. That's real money.

Budget trampolines: "60% off" can still cost about what the trampoline normally sells for, because the "was" price was inflated to begin with.

One more thing to know. Springfree, a premium brand, says it "typically runs promotions on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but you're not guaranteed to get the lowest price on our website." It adds that its retailers "might be running deeper Black Friday discounts." So the brand's own store isn't automatically the cheapest place to buy.

Premium and enclosure-style brands

This is where the large dollar discounts show up. Springfree's Black Friday roundup lists these brand offers as of October 2026. The roundup is written by a competitor in the market, and the figures may be early or carried over from last year:

  • Springfree: up to $1,000 off certain models
  • Jumpflex: up to $400 off FLEX and HERO models, and up to $1,100 off MEGA
  • Vuly: 45% off sitewide
  • ACON: up to 50% off

Every one of these is an "up to" number. Usually only one or two models get the top discount, and the rest get less. ACON's own Black Friday page, updated in late September, says specific offers "have not yet been announced" and that the brand "rarely offers discounts of this magnitude." Assume the final numbers will change once November arrives.

Springfree also tends to sell for less at other stores than on its own site. Its Cyber Monday page lists retailer offers on Springfree trampolines of up to $1,100 off at Walmart, up to $1,330 off at Target and up to 25% off at Amazon, and it suggests checking its "trusted retail partners first." Its own promotions change from year to year. In 2021 it offered $100 off installation plus free add-ons. In 2022 it offered "up to $600" off plus a free step.

For inground trampolines, premium brands like Avyna and BERG have leaned on bundles more than price cuts. Their 2024 Black Friday offers included basketball hoop bundles (one hoop for $250, two for $479) and an LED light set for $299.

Big-box and budget trampolines

Skywalker, Bounce Pro and similar brands sell mostly through Walmart, Dick's Sporting Goods, Target and Amazon, and that's where the eye-catching percentages appear. The same Springfree roundup lists Skywalker at up to 40% off, Jumpzylla up to 37% off, and Zupapa running buy one, get one free. It shows "up to" dollar figures for Walmart ($913 off) and Dick's ($421 off), as of October 2026.

The percent-off figure is where people get misled. A discount is only as honest as the price it's measured from. Some 2021 Black Friday deals collected by Gardeningetc show how this works:

  • A Morinome 12' round trampoline at Wayfair dropped from $724 to $298.29, which is 59% off.
  • A Gymax kids' round trampoline at Walmart dropped from $289.99 to $109.99, which is 62% off.
  • A Propel 15' round trampoline at Wayfair dropped from $449.99 to $394.99, only 12% off.

Look at the bigger Propel. It had the smallest percentage, but it was a larger trampoline at a price close to its normal one. A $724 "list price" on a 12-foot budget trampoline mostly exists so the discount looks big. Before you get excited about a percentage, check what the trampoline has actually been selling for over the past few months. A price tracker or the retailer's own price history works well for this.

Bundles, accessories and shipping

Sometimes the better deal isn't a lower price at all. Trampolines.com says bundles "often add the most value," with extras such as LED lights, weather covers, safety pads and basketball hoops thrown in. If you were going to buy a cover and a ladder anyway, a bundle with both can beat a slightly lower price on the trampoline alone. Many promotions also include free or discounted shipping, especially online-only offers. That matters for an item this heavy.

Timing matters too. Springfree notes delivery can take longer around the holidays because demand goes up. Trampolines.com suggests buying inground and large rectangular models early because stock is limited. If the plan is a Christmas-morning surprise, find out the delivery date before you pay.

How to shop it

  • Start early. Pre-holiday sales often begin in early or mid-November, well before November 27.
  • Sign up for newsletters from the brands you're considering. Early-access codes often go to subscribers first.
  • Set price alerts on several sites so you see a real drop when it happens.
  • Compare retailers for the same model. For Springfree in particular, Walmart, Target or Amazon may beat the brand's own store.
  • Compare bundles, not just prices. Add up what the included accessories would cost on their own.
  • Check safety before price. Confirm the weight limit, the enclosure net, and the padding or spring coverage. Then follow the manufacturer's rules: usually one jumper at a time, with an adult watching. Springfree argues that cheap trampolines often have fewer safety features and need maintenance within "1–3 years." That comes from a premium seller, but it's still worth comparing frame warranties.

If nothing looks right in November, spring is the other main sale window. Springfree lists early spring alongside Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the holiday season as times trampolines go on sale. Nobody has shown that one period is reliably cheaper than the other.

Bottom line

Black Friday works best for large, premium trampolines, where a percentage off adds up to hundreds of dollars. On budget trampolines, the price you actually pay matters more than the percentage on the tag. Before you buy:

  • Check the real recent price, not the "was" price
  • Compare the same model at the brand's site and at big-box stores
  • Add up the value of any bundled accessories
  • Confirm the delivery date, especially for holiday gifts
  • Confirm the weight limit, enclosure and padding
  • Mark November 27 and November 30, and start watching in early November
