Hey so sometime soon (when i get the hole dug) im getting a new trampoline. im going for a rectangular comp one and have a chose of beds im now deciding between two, the High Performance blackpoly bed or the US string bed. Iv never jumped on a high performance poly bed and haven't been on the us string bed in a few years. If anyone has tried the poly bed and could tell me how much of a difference there is that would be great. I have been told that the high performancepoly bed is about half the performance between the reg poly and the US string, the US string bed is a fair amount more in price than the poly bed tho. I also live in the Seattle area so it gets a good amount of rain here, im told the poly bed is better outside too. Also this trampoline will be in a pit.

Thanks for any help!!

as far as durability goes, if its going outside you should go with the string bed, poly hates the sun

That would be awkward to fap if there were people downstairs.

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but my local gymnastics place has a black poly bed, and I've been at the string beds at CVA. In my experience, the black poly had a smoother bounce, but the string bed got you higher. The black poly bed wasn't too much more comfy though. The string bed does get you noticeably higher though. I would go string.

if you can afford it, get the sting bed and you will be glad you did.

one place i used to go to had the black poly and ended up replacing just the bed alone with a string bed... it gave a good comparison of the two in that everything else had remained constant. They are a lot more responsive,being more rigid, they use a greater portion of the springs compared to the black poly. The plus with the black poly is that its less harsh on your feet

what size tramp and how big are the springs? if the springs are too small (8 or 9 inch) its possible to blow through the springs real quick with a string bed... it will make it feel like its bottoming out.
