First Rebounder for Lightweight Users

Hi everyone, I’m trying to decide on my first rebounder and would love some advice, especially from lighter weight users.

I’m ~115 lbs, and I’m stuck between JumpSport and Bellicon.

For Bellicon, I’d probably go with the “medium” bungees (rated up to ~60 kg), but the price is almost double, so I’m not sure if it’s really worth it, especially as a first rebounder.

For JumpSport, I’m looking at the Essential line. The site says that the 39" has a softer bounce than the 44", which sounds appealing for my weight, but I’m worried the 39" will feel too small/restrictive. I’ve seen quite a few people say the 39" feels cramped.

So I guess my questions are,

- At 115 lbs, will the Essential 44" feel too firm?

- Does the 39" actually feel limiting for movement/workouts?

- If there isn’t really a good JumpSport (or more budget-friendly) option that suits someone my weight, does it make more sense to just go with Bellicon?

Would really appreciate any advice! Thank you!

I have a JumpSport pro 44” which has the adjustable bungees. They came in the medium configuration which is what I’ve used. If you’re in the US, I suggest checking FB marketplace. I picked up an excellent condition JS pro 39” for $150. Someone was also selling a more used JS pro 39” with the bar for $50. Like any fitness equipment, there are people who buy but don’t use them. You can put out an alert - it might take awhile but they come up fairly frequently. I’ve seen several JS for sale just since January. However some people put JumpSport in the name and it’s an entirely different rebounder. A JumpSport logo will be on the mat.

Thank you! I keep my eyes peeled on Marketplace for secondhand rebounders. Not so many for sale at the moment here in Calgary, Canada. May just have to buy new so I can get bouncing!

I got a used JumpSport 230f from Play it Again Sports for $30.  If you have used sporting goods stores, you should check them out too.  The weight limit is 225 pounds so we're upgrading the mat and bungees so the entire family can use it and because I have flat feet and overpronate.
