Disappointing durability – mat curls early and worsens over time, no remedy offered Given bellicon’s premium pricing and reputation, I expected durability and long‑term quality. Within a relatively short period after purchase, the comfort mat began curling up around the edges, making the rebounder look worn and untidy. This happened under very… Read more

modest use: one user only, not daily, and usually no more than 5 minutes per session.

Over time, the curling has progressively worsened, and bellicon has confirmed this is considered a cosmetic issue and therefore not covered under warranty.

What is most frustrating is:

- There is no warning at the point of sale that the mat will curl considerably. - bellicon confirmed that the comfort mat and side/edge padding are “not compatible”, which raises questions about how commonly sold accessories interact. - The only “solution” offered was to heat the mat edge with a hairdryer and lay it face‑down overnight, which feels inappropriate for a premium product at this price point. - There is no alternative mat option offered that resolves the curling problem, meaning replacing it risks the same outcome.

I contacted bellicon hoping to purchase a non‑curling alternative – something with a re-enforced edge - but was told none exists.

The rebounder itself functions, but from a quality and longevity perspective, the mat makes the equipment look tired far too quickly for a premium brand. For something positioned as long‑term fitness equipment, this is disappointing.

Potential buyers should be aware that mat curling appears to be a known issue, worsens over time, and has no supported fix.

cant buy replacement bungees – I have a 125cm Bellicon but I need to replace the bungees for stronger ones. This seems to be impossible in Australia. Anyone have any advice? Show details

Wow love the Bellicon plus 112cm rebounder – This is the first time i have used a rebounder. I love it. I am 5ft 6 and the 112cm rebounder with strong strength strings is perfect. I just love the bounce. Should of bought one years ago. Best exercise equipment i have ever owned. I now actually enjoy exercising and can’t wait to get on it. Rebound for life are the authorised rep for… Read more

Bellicon in Australia. They will answer any questions. I ordered mine last Thursday night and it was delivered to Brisbane the following Tuesday. So easy to set up as well. I highly recommend this rebounder. It’s German so you know it’s made to last. Super happy with my choice of rebounder. Try it, you won’t be disappointed. It really has a beautiful feel and bounce. I feel like a kid again and it’s fun.

The "Rolls Royce" of Rebounders – The Bellicon Classic Rebounder has 3 sizes from 100cm to 125cm in overall size, I am 94kgs and 6'2" tall so on the advice of the amazing staff at Rebound For Life (in Melbourne Australia) I ordered the largest 125cm with Extra Strong Bungee's as they recommended (as the bungee's come in different strengths for your weight and exercise goals, I… Read more

wanted something for general fun bouncing as well as, mid to strenuous exercise and aerobics)... Bellicon has a chart also you can look at your weight, height and fitness / workout goals and it recommends a certain strength range of bungee for you (but it's simpler to just ask the staff and let them explain).

The service for the Rebounder was absolutely "First Class" they got my inquiry on a Monday night and replied instantly (and personally) via email, they called me the next morning and explained everything to me, were factual, friendly, extremely patient with all my questions (and pursuing emails on the days to come) and not "Salesy" or pushy in any way whatsoever.

I ordered on the following Friday and it arrived on Wednesday morning and we're talking interstate delivery from Melbourne to Sydney area (which was extremely efficient and trackable).

The Bellicon Rebounder 125cm has plenty of surface area to bounce on (900cm in total), I ordered the comfort matt also which offers a nice padded covering over the bungee bobble connectors (which then gives you approximately 1000cm in total jump space, and when jumping barefoot or in socks is more comfortable if you land on a bungee bobble connector, and also good for laying down exercises on your matt, you don't want to be laying on bumpy bobble connectors). I am a tall person and was worried about the space I would need (as usual standard smaller mini tramps weren't large enough for me to do star jumps etc on aerobically)... The matt on the 125cm model is "PLENTY" large enough for us taller people!

I watched LOTS of reviews on the Bellicon and other rebounders (mini trampolines) and there IS a HUGE difference between them. What I could see from the mini trampoline reviews was the quality of their springs / bungee's were stiffer, hence causing less body weight absorption from the jump (and I could visibly see, a difference in the way the other mini-trampline matts responded to jumps, and how the Bellicon matts responded, there was a like an extra layer of springiness to the Bellicon jump and this intrigued me).

The Bellicon Rebounder however, is in a class of it's own and a real "STEP UP" from your generic mini trampolines (and has a notably superior bounce over all of them, even other commercially respected name brand rebounders). Having personally used the large hexagonal shaped generic mini-trampoline (and jumped on the higher end commercial ones at my gym) for my personal fitness before I purchased the Bellicon, I felt the difference on the Bellicon Classic straight away.

In the Bellicon, there is an indescribable comfort, a firmness and also a sponginess that takes your weight "GENTLY" and evenly all over the matt, and you "SPRING" into the air effortlessly... Whereas the other mini-trampline was bouncy in the centre, and hard on the outsides, a hardness that other reviews have likened to hitting the ground when running or jumping and offered a jarring kind of feeling if you come down too hard or lop-sided in your jump (which personally I don't it was as bad as some reviews, but I did start feeling some pain in my knee's slightly after using the generic mini-trampline for more rigorous jumping and running exercises, much like the pain you feel from shin splints, runners knee after a run or skipping etc)... and this to me was one of main differences between a generic bouncer them and the Bellicon Classic Rebounder.

The Bellicon is absorbant all over the matt, and takes your weight and evenly propels you up in to the air effortlessly. It's super gentle on your joints, so my ankles, knees, hips and back felt at easy and comfortable (and from the literature and DVD's that Bellicon sent me, it's the only rebounder that has the AGR Seal of Approval for healthy backs, so I thought this critical information to know if you're looking at buying a rebounder).

I felt the difference in the bounce on the Bellicon Classic straight away, and the other main difference too, was it caused me to really work my core muscles better, hence giving me a better workout, quicker and more effectively... For example, my workout on my generic mini-trampline was 20 minutes to get a healthy puff and sweat up going. But on the Bellicon Classic, within about 4 to 5 minutes of first jumping on it (and it's FUN) I started engaging core muscles, so started puffing and worked up a healthy sweat up quicker (and I'm quite fit)... This is a GOOD thing as it's doing something that causes your core muscles to work harder, whilst supporting joints.

You can also purchase varying colours for the Bellicon and their bungee colours (and you can even mix n match them which looks amazing), I just went with standard Orange because it looks great stock standard, and the folding legs make is super easy to just get out of the box, pop the legs on and start bouncing (this is also obviously excellent for storing the rebounder too, if space isn't a problem then you can order stock standard screw on legs and leave it assembled, and their still easy to take off if need be). And if you're worried about your stability, you can buy add-on "T-Bars" and other handles for more rehab type bouncing, so you won't fall whilst working out, or getting on or off your rebounder.

The main difference between construction of the Bellicon and the one I had previously, was the Bellicon comes assembled (and is designed and made in Germany) so it feels sturdy and is extremely well built, and within minutes of delivery, I was bouncing on it.

Compared to my other one which was a generic build, a bit flimsier (but still strong), plus I had to spend an hour putting it together myself (and the bungee's on them are difficult to put on, you need lots of strength even with the provided tool to leverage them on, it's a workout putting them together).

Overall, I feel that if you're going to be jumping on a rebounder / mini-trampline daily, then the Bellicon is the "King of Springs" for rebounders, dead quite from the bungee's (no springs on these) and they're a safe, comfortable and fun way to get fit, lose weight and rehab your body quicker than other methods (and you don't even have to leave your home to do it).

I sincerely hope this helps those looking to buy a mini-trampline / rebounder.

Excellent product but beware of replacement part costs – Bought this after a cheaper one that only lasted a few months - it has been great and has held up to daily family use for the last 5 years but the Oz seller want $180 for a set of replacement bungees that cost about $90 elsewhere in the world. If I was to purchase again, I'd look for a brand that doesn't allow local resellers a license to gouge customers. Show details

Great product, excellent customer service – Rebounder is of top quality and an immediate hit with aging mother. We mistakenly received two Left support bars, but Bellicon went out of their way to rectify. Thanks again. Show details

Wish I'd invested in it sooner! – I've been rebounding with a class at my local gym for a number of years and when I decided to start rebounding at home I did a lot of research into the different rebounder options available. I've tried a number of rebounders in person and can honestly say none of them come close to the Bellicon. It's like comparing apples and oranges, or like… Read more

comparing jumping on concrete to jumping on a cloud... the Bellicon is in a completely different class to any other rebounder I've tried.

I hesitated for a long time before taking the plunge, the Bellicon is an investment, but having now received it I'm just ecstatic and wish I had ordered it weeks ago. If anyone else is hesitating I would encourage them to just do it! Rebound For Life https://www.reboundforlife.com.au is the official distributor for Bellicon in Aus and NZ and they offer a no questions asked return policy, but trust me, you won't need it!

I went with the 112cm mat and I'm glad I went with the slightly larger size, it just gives that little more room to do some of the more exuberant and higher bounces.

The customer service at Rebound For Life was also excellent with quick responses, very helpful and a genuine interest in helping to match you with a good rebounder.

The Perfect Exercise Rebounder – For the past 12 months I’ve been buying mini trampolines from A Mart Sports and eBay, and found that all of them had something in common. The springs were loud and annoying, and with continual use, they would snap, sometimes within the first 2 months of purchase. I wanted something that was low impact and yet would make me sweat. I finally found… Read more

the Bellicon Rebounder which has no springs and uses Bungee cord instead which means no annoying springs. This product is fantastic for anyone who wants low impact exercise but still wants a good workout. The frame is German steel and feels solid, and the mat and bungee cord is just brilliant. The downside is that they are not cheap. At over $800, you would want this product to last. I’ve had mine for 2 weeks now and it’s better than anything I’ve bought previously. The customer service is also fantastic. If you are after a Rebounder and want to use it on a daily basis, this is the one to get.

Best Rebounder out there!! Worth the investment – I was sceptical buying such an expensive rebounder and put it off for 2yrs.... I wish I had bought it sooner. I love my Bellicon Rebounder and I use it daily! I have the 112cm model with screw in legs, a pink edged matt with ultra strong bungees. Its a great bounce and makes no noise at all. I am only 60kgs but wanted the strongest bounce and… Read more

wanted the bungees to last forever (lol) so I opted for the strongest ones they had which have a 200kg weight limit. My hubby, who is 6 foot tall and around 100kgs bounces on it too without any issues at all and it supports both of us standing/bouncing on it together without any issues at all so if you are heavier it will definitely support your weight. It comes with 3mths free online subscription to the Bellicon website which has some fantastic rebounding videos to help with many different benefits, eg) weight loss, general flexability etc. Its really a great bonus. It also comes with an instructional video which is helpful if you want to learn some different ways to bounce.

The best rebounders – I really wanted a full size trampoline outside in the backyard. A number of things precluded this, Melbourne's winter weather being a key one. I thought I had to have a compromise solution (or two different trampolines) until I found these bellicon rebounders. I have used a LOT of other rebounders and trampolines. Most of the rebounders have… Read more

lasted only a very short time (days anor weeks) and no spares are available for the majority. The bellicon is in a class all of its own. Well designed, well constructed, spare parts and accessories, even a choice of colours and construction and very well supported.

The rebound is even at all locations on the mat and is adjustable over several weight ranges by changing the spring components. It has ample "spring" and no "sag" and the sprung components are rubberized straps that can be replaced when they wear.

I wish I had bought it when I first saw it months ago.
