I have been trying so hard to not succumb to this but the large mat area and the QUIET are really calling to me. The down side is the climate here is death to elastics. I have had not bungee, cheapo elastic band rebounders give out within a year. Not mention clothing with elastic! I'm still wavering though.
wavering like your avatar?
here comes a gust of wind: replacement bungees are just $49 I think?
so even if a set lasts a whole year and cannot be replaced under warranty, they still cost half the price of a Bellicon cord set.

(It all depends on your own personal finances of course)

I received a confirmation email this morning.

Trying not to second guess my ultra bungee decision. I want to do walking DVDs and jogging, so I think it's the right decision.

Now the wait...

since the larger mat has less bungees than its comparable Bellicon, the strongest bungees would be best to assure a fast bounce and less coning

I can't believe I'm actually considering this for myself. Would those with bungee rebounder still recommend the ultra bungees for someone who weighs around 110 pounds?

I got mine too. Was starting to get a little worried. I can't wait. (I think my husband might commit me, though).

I weigh 115 and I have ultra and x-strong that I alternate on both of my 49" Bellicons. The 44" and 39" ones I have x-strong. I am not sure what strength Daisy Duke got in hers but the bounce is too soft for her. I told her she should get the ultra for a faster bounce. I wouldn't go with anything less than ultras because of what Barb mentioned about it having less bungee cords than the Bellicon. You don't want coning at all

I weigh about the same as Cheryl and I would definitely get the Ultra which is what I have on my Bellicons.

Are you sure she didn't get the ultra cords to begin with? That wouldn't bode well for the quality of the rebounder.

Anyway thanks for the info on the cords. I'm back to thinking about it.
Daisy, if you see this I wish you'd let us know which cords you got.

My daughter wants a rebounder. She's 17 and loves those trampoline parks. Which band strength gives that kind of bounce? She weighs about 110 lbs. Also does band strength have anything to do with how long the bands last? Thanks!
