Springfree vs ACON
If you're choosing between Springfree and ACON, you're already in the premium tier. Both price above $1,500 for full-size models, and both have loyal followings. The main difference is what's under the mat. Springfree uses flexible fiberglass rods instead of springs, while ACON uses a traditional galvanized coil spring system with a deep frame. That mechanical difference shapes everything else: the bounce feel, the warranty terms, the maintenance, and the price.
