AlleyOOP Power DoubleBounce 14ft Trampoline Review

Full Review

The AlleyOOP Power DoubleBounce 14ft is the most expensive round trampoline JumpSport makes. It combines two proprietary systems that normally sell separately: the DoubleBounce dual-bed air cushion and the PowerBounce adjustable spring mechanism. That combination means 192 total springs, a 300 lb weight capacity, and 552 lbs of assembled steel sitting in your backyard.

We were blown away the first time we bounced on this thing. The landing feels nothing like any single-bed trampoline we’ve tested. Softer, more controlled, quieter. But “blown away” doesn’t help you decide whether the premium over the base DoubleBounce is worth it for your family. So this review breaks down what the combined system does, who benefits from it, and who should save money on a different model.

Key Specifications

*A note on spring length: PowerDoubleBounce sources list 8.5-inch primary springs, while the standard DoubleBounce lists 9.25 inches. These appear to be different specs per model, not a data error. The PowerDoubleBounce likely uses shorter primaries to accommodate the additional PowerSpring assemblies.

What Is the Power DoubleBounce?

Most reviews treat the Power DoubleBounce as a vague upgrade. It isn’t. It’s two specific systems that operate at different phases of the bounce cycle, and understanding that distinction is what makes the purchase decision clear.

DoubleBounce is the structural half. A second heavy-duty steel frame sits 8 inches below the primary jumping mat. That lower frame carries its own mat and spring set, creating a pressurised column of air between the two beds. When you land, the upper mat absorbs the initial impact. The trapped air between the beds compresses and distributes force across a wider area. Then the lower mat and springs engage, sharing the remaining load. JumpSport states this cuts landing force by roughly 50% compared to a single-bed trampoline. The DoubleBounce air cushion works on every jumper at every weight. A 40 lb child gets the same softer landing as a 200 lb adult.

PowerBounce is the tuning half. It uses the same dual-spring lever mechanism found in the AlleyOOP 10×17 rectangle (which covers the lever physics in full detail). Each of the 64 assemblies pairs a primary spring with a secondary PowerSpring on a lever fitting called the PowerArm. The PowerSpring connects to one of three positions on the arm, and moving it between those positions changes the rebound firmness. Bottom stage gives the softest, most amplified bounce. Middle is the general-purpose starting point. Top stage gives the firmest, most responsive feel for heavier jumpers.

Here’s the insight that no other review spells out: DoubleBounce cushions the landing. PowerBounce tunes the return. They operate at different points in the cycle, so they complement each other instead of overlapping. On the way down, the air cushion absorbs the impact regardless of the PowerBounce setting. On the way up, the PowerBounce springs control how much rebound you get back, independent of the air cushion.

The result is a trampoline where the landing always feels soft, but the push back up can be adjusted from gentle (for small kids) to firm (for adults and heavier jumpers).

The 80 lb Rule: Read This Before You Buy

This is the single most important piece of advice on this page.

PowerBounce springs only engage meaningfully when the jumper weighs 80 lbs or more. Below that threshold, there isn’t enough force to compress the secondary PowerSprings through the lever arm. A 50 lb child jumping on the Power DoubleBounce and the regular DoubleBounce will feel virtually the same thing, because the PowerBounce component isn’t doing any work at that weight.

If every jumper in your household is under 80 lbs, the standard DoubleBounce gives you the same experience for less.

The DoubleBounce air cushion works at all weights. That’s the system protecting knees and joints. The PowerBounce tuning only adds value once somebody on the trampoline crosses that 80 lb threshold.

The Power DoubleBounce makes sense for three groups:

• Households with a mix of ages: your 6-year-old gets the soft landing from DoubleBounce today, and the PowerBounce tuning kicks in as they grow past 80 lbs. Meanwhile, the adults and older kids benefit from the adjustable settings right now.
• Adults who jump recreationally or for fitness: if you’re over 80 lbs (and statistically, you are), the PowerBounce settings let you dial in the firmness you want while keeping the dual-bed cushioning underneath.
• Parents planning to keep the trampoline 8-10+ years: kids under 80 lbs today won’t stay that way. Buying the Power DoubleBounce now means you won’t wish you’d picked the combined model three years from now when the PowerBounce benefit finally kicks in.

Three Models, Three Different Buyers

No comparison like this exists elsewhere online. Most sites just list prices. Here’s what each model gives you, who it suits, and where the money goes.

The air cushion does all the heavy lifting on the base DoubleBounce. Softer landings at every weight, 128 springs, 250 lb capacity. No PowerBounce tuning, which means every jumper gets the same rebound feel regardless of size. For households where everyone is under 80 lbs, this is functionally identical to the Power DoubleBounce for less money. It’s also the right pick for parents who prioritise cushioning over adjustability and don’t want to pay for a feature their kids can’t use yet.

The 14ft PowerBounce is the single-bed option with the adjustable dual-spring system. 144 springs, 267 lb capacity, three tuning settings. No air cushion, so landings run firmer than either DoubleBounce model. We’ve reviewed it in full detail separately. Best for buyers who want tunability and don’t need the dual-bed system, or anyone looking at the cheapest way into PowerBounce technology.

Then there’s the Power DoubleBounce. Both systems. 192 springs, 300 lb capacity, dual-bed cushioning plus adjustable PowerBounce. Softest possible landing combined with a rebound you can tune. At 552 lbs, it’s also a permanent installation in every practical sense (more on that below). This is the model for families with a genuine spread of jumper weights, where kids will grow into the PowerBounce benefit over time and adults want the customisation now.

How It Compares to the Competition

The ACON Air 14ft costs less than half the price and delivers the highest raw bounce height in this comparison. No air cushion, no tunability, no dual-bed system. ACON’s 10-year frame warranty and 1-year enclosure warranty fall short of AlleyOOP’s lifetime coverage. For budget-conscious buyers who want strong bounce, the ACON is the value champion. But the landing feel is night and day. Once you’ve jumped on a DoubleBounce, single-bed trampolines feel harder. That’s not marketing talk; it’s just physics.

The Springfree Jumbo Round removes springs entirely, using fiberglass rods mounted below the mat. No pinch points, no spring gaps. Smart safety design. But it caps at ~220 lbs, costs similar money to the Power DoubleBounce, and offers no adjustability. Owners describe it as soft and quiet but not particularly bouncy. If the absolute safest design matters more to you than bounce height, Springfree has a case. For everyone else, the AlleyOOP gives you more performance per dollar.

Who This Is For

Mixed-weight families planning to keep it long-term. A household where a 50 lb child, a 90 lb teenager, and a 180 lb adult all use the same trampoline. The DoubleBounce cushions everyone equally. The PowerBounce tuning benefits the teenager and adult now, and the younger child as they grow. Over 8-10 years of ownership, every family member will eventually cross that 80 lb line.

You’re a safety-focused parent but you don’t want a trampoline that feels like bouncing on a mattress. DoubleBounce’s ~50% impact reduction makes nervous first-timers and younger kids comfortable faster. And the PowerBounce settings let older kids and adults dial up the rebound when they want more airtime. You get both.

Adult recreational and fitness jumpers. Over 80 lbs, you get the full benefit of both systems. The air cushion protects your knees and joints on landing; the adjustable springs let you tune the workout intensity. On bottom stage, it’s gentle enough for low-impact cardio. On top stage, firm enough for serious rebounding.

If you’re the kind of buyer who hates compromises, this is the model. The base DoubleBounce forces you to accept a fixed rebound. The base PowerBounce forces you to accept a single-bed landing. The Power DoubleBounce eliminates that trade-off. If the premium is within reach and anyone in your home weighs over 80 lbs, this is the one.

Assembly and Permanence

Plan on 4-6 hours for the base frame and enclosure with two people, then add another 1-2 hours for the 64 PowerBounce assemblies. Each assembly needs to be installed and set to your preferred stage, and with 64 of them, that’s methodical, repetitive work. Count on a full day. Bring snacks.

The assembly manual is the weak point. Like every other AlleyOOP model, owners consistently flag the enclosure section as poorly illustrated. JumpSport’s assembly videos are far clearer than the paper manual and worth watching before you start.

At 552 lbs assembled, this trampoline isn’t going anywhere. Not next week, not next season. That weight is roughly equivalent to a riding lawn mower and a half. Moving it requires multiple adults, careful disassembly, and a strong motivation to bother. Choose your installation spot with care, because for all practical purposes it’s permanent. You need a 24 ft diameter minimum of level, clear ground, with nothing overhead.

One practical upside to the mass: wind isn’t moving it either. At 552 lbs, you’ll still want anchor stakes for safety, but this thing isn’t flipping in a storm the way a 200 lb budget trampoline might.

Honest Caveats

Price is the #1 objection, and it’s valid. This is serious money. If your kids are all under 80 lbs and you don’t have adults who’ll jump regularly, the base DoubleBounce provides 90% of the same experience for less. The 80 lb rule section above covers this in detail.

No accessories included. No ladder, no basketball hoop, no tent cover. All available as add-ons at additional cost. For a trampoline at this price tier, a ladder in the box would be a welcome touch. It isn’t there.

Enclosure door can be tight for adults. The overlapping entry (no zipper, which is genuinely safer) works well for kids but some adults find it awkward to climb through. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing.

Aesthetics are functional, not flashy. The PowerDoubleBounce is all black hardware on a green frame. Multiple reviewers describe the look as “rather dull.” This is a performance product, not a garden feature. If your HOA has opinions about backyard aesthetics, the PowerDoubleBounce won’t win beauty contests.

Spring rusting after 2-3 years. One long-term owner reported surface rust on springs after about 3 years. The zinc plating delays corrosion but doesn’t prevent it forever, especially in humid or coastal climates. The 5-year spring warranty covers replacements, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.

Is It Worth the Money?

The Power DoubleBounce sits noticeably above both the base DoubleBounce and the base PowerBounce in the lineup. What that premium buys you: both systems combined, a 300 lb weight capacity (highest in the 14ft round lineup), 192 springs, and the most cushioned yet adjustable bounce available on any residential round trampoline.

Over a 10-year ownership period, the per-year cost drops well below most family fitness budgets. AlleyOOP owners regularly report 15+ years of service life, which stretches that figure even further. Compare it to a budget trampoline that needs replacing every 3 years: you spend more in total on inferior equipment, and you’re disassembling, disposing, and reassembling repeatedly. One of those options involves dealing with a trampoline three times. The other involves doing it once and forgetting about it.

JumpSport’s replacement parts availability extends well beyond the warranty period. People who’ve owned other AlleyOOP models for 8+ years can still order individual springs, mats, and pads directly. For a product this heavy and permanent, knowing that the manufacturer will still be selling parts a decade from now matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between DoubleBounce and PowerBounce?

DoubleBounce is a structural system: two separate mats on two frames with an 8-inch air gap between them. When you land, the air compresses and both beds share the load, cutting impact force by roughly half. PowerBounce is a spring adjustment system: each assembly pairs two springs on a lever arm, and you choose between three tension settings. DoubleBounce cushions the landing. PowerBounce tunes the return. The Power DoubleBounce combines both into one frame.

What is the weight limit on the Power DoubleBounce?

300 lbs. That’s the highest capacity in the 14ft round AlleyOOP lineup. The standard PowerBounce (single bed) handles 267 lbs, and the standard DoubleBounce handles 250 lbs. The combined dual-bed frame and additional spring count contribute to the Power DoubleBounce’s higher limit.

Is the Power DoubleBounce worth it over the regular DoubleBounce?

Depends on who’s jumping. If every jumper in your house weighs under 80 lbs, the base DoubleBounce gives you the same experience for less, because the PowerBounce springs don’t engage meaningfully below that weight. For families with a mix of weights, where at least one regular jumper is over 80 lbs, the tuneable PowerBounce settings add genuine value to the dual-bed system.

How does the DoubleBounce air cushion work?

A second steel frame sits 8 inches below the primary mat, carrying its own mat and springs. The trapped air between the two beds acts like a pressure cushion. On landing, the upper mat absorbs initial force, the air column compresses and spreads the load, and the lower bed catches the remainder. JumpSport states this reduces impact force by approximately 50% versus a single-bed trampoline. The cushioning effect works at all jumper weights.

How long does assembly take?

Budget a full day. The frame and enclosure take 4-6 hours for two people. The 64 PowerBounce assemblies add another 1-2 hours on top. JumpSport’s video guides are substantially better than the printed manual, particularly for the enclosure section.

Can you move the Power DoubleBounce after assembly?

Technically, yes. Practically, no. At 552 lbs, relocating it requires partial or full disassembly, which means undoing those 64 PowerBounce assemblies and potentially disconnecting the dual-bed frame. Choose your spot carefully before assembly. This is a permanent backyard fixture for all practical purposes.

Does it come with a ladder?

No. No AlleyOOP 14ft model includes a ladder. With a mat height of approximately 35 inches, most adults can step up without one, but younger children will need help. Ladders are available as a separate purchase from JumpSport and third-party retailers.

Where can I buy the AlleyOOP Power DoubleBounce?

Through authorised AlleyOOP dealers. Retailers like Beyond Backyards, Bergfeld Recreation, and Treefrog Showrooms carry the full lineup. It’s also listed on Amazon (ASIN: B00KDOECBQ). Pricing varies between retailers, and sale prices appear from time to time. Contact dealers directly for current stock and pricing.
