Springfree vs North
Install type and spring design split these together.
Springfree is above-ground only and springless, using flexible rods below a hidden frame, with a long 10-year warranty across the frame, mat, net, and rods. North is built for in-ground installs and includes large rectangles.
Choose Springfree if the priority is a springless design that sits above-ground. Choose North if a flush in-ground install, or a large rectangular bounce, is what you're planning around.
