New "X within the Box" addition to industrial strength stitch
rows.
Superior mat retention over long life expectancy
Industrial strength stitch rows
Our 180 lb test user stretched the mat within the first week.
Questionable stitch row integrity: We observed mat perimeter has tendency to slide out of circumference bands over time.

36 high caliber wide-belly springs,
20 coils per spring, even distribution of stress, uniform shape, no weak
bends in the shape of the spring
Yes
36 springs,
20 coils per spring, sharp bend at ends creating weak points in shape
(Life-Tec's unit, under mild product testing, depressed too far resulting in abrupt "bottoming out". Our 160 lb participant could hit the floor at will.)
36 springs,
bounce started out very resilient and enjoyable...
Low grade, small diameter coils vary, unacceptable rate of failure
"The Bounce"
The Bounce
1 G-Force = pressure of your body weight
3 G-Force = weight
x 3, measured at the instantaneous bottom of the bounce just as momentum
changes direction
The
ReboundAIRTM:
High resilience, responsive, just the right amount of softness in the
rebound-reaction while jumping, jogging and following the latest Rebound
Aerobics routines. ("dynamic weight-and-loading
accommodation at a 3 G-Force)
At the same time, perfect firmness while stepping onto or simply standing on the mat. ("static weight-and-loading accommodation at 1 G")
Your body will look forward to the ReboundAIR™. 10 years down the
road, your body will still look forward to "The Bounce"... and
the same balanced resilience will still be there on a ReboundAIR™.
Needak:
Responsive bounce on the Needak. Another nice ride on the Cellerciser.
However, the ideal balance between dynamic resilience and static firmness is yet to be achieved.
Urban:
Excellent first impression on the Urban jumping surface!
We noticed a decrease in resilience as the mat began to sag around the stitch perimeter and after the 36 springs slightly stretched over time.
Springs could not return to "original conformation", or shape & coil tightness after 10 to 14 days.
Sporting
Goods Brand:
Tightness, initial undue firmness during the bounce. Later, once the springs
stretch/break and the mat sags/frays, "bottoming out" typically
occurs.
Can be quite noisy!
