We went through four mini trampolines before I finally stopped buying them. Two we bought ourselves, two were gifted by well-meaning family members who knew our girls had energy that does not quit. And every single one ended up in the same place: the garage, or leaning against the house, slowly going green with mildew.
It wasn't that the girls didn't love them. They absolutely did. The problem was that I couldn't make them belong inside. Cheap plastic, industrial-looking springs, exposed steel legs that looked like they belonged in a gymnasium — not in the home we'd put real thought and care into.
"If something doesn't look like it belongs, it doesn't stay. That's not a design rule — that's just human nature."

The Problem Nobody Was Solving
I'd look around at the beautiful interior design products being made for families — the gorgeous linen poufs, the handcrafted wooden toys, the considered nursery furniture — and then look at our trampoline collection and feel completely defeated. Nobody had thought to make a rebounder that could earn its place in a real home.
What I Needed (and Couldn't Find)
With my background in interior design, I knew what the answer had to be: it had to look like furniture you chose, not like gym equipment you were tolerating. It needed to be beautiful enough that guests would compliment it, functional enough that the kids would actually use it, and durable enough to survive what our daughters put everything through.
So I Started Sketching
I brought my idea, my sketches, and a stack of fabric swatches to life — and the very first Bounder™ was built by hand. The moment we put it in the living room, everything changed. The girls bounced on it every single day and stopped bouncing on the sofas. Guests complimented it without having any idea what it was. And for the first time, a trampoline didn't end up in the garage.
It became the most-used piece of furniture in our home. And that was the moment I knew we had something bigger than a solution for our own family.
The Result: Parenting on the Rebound™
Spring & Stitch™ was born from the belief that families shouldn't have to choose between a home that looks beautiful and a home that lets kids be kids. Everything we make is handcrafted to order in the USA, using premium performance fabrics that are stain resistant, bleach cleanable, fade-resistant, and PFC chemical-free.
Because the best piece of furniture in your home should also be the most-used one.
