DIY Trampoline Ottoman: Transform Your Space

By Michael LewisDecember 22, 2025

Transform your living space into a cozy, functional haven with a DIY Trampoline Ottoman. Not only does it provide extra seating, but it also hides away your favorite gaming console or board games when not in use. Let's dive into the world of DIY and create a perfect blend of comfort and storage with this trampoline ottoman project.

Before we start, ensure you have the right tools and materials. You'll need a trampoline frame, foam, fabric, scissors, a staple gun, a hot glue gun, and a few other basic craft supplies. Safety first, so make sure to wear gloves and protective eyewear when using tools.

Designing Your Trampoline Ottoman

First, decide on the size and shape of your ottoman. A standard trampoline frame can be transformed into a square or rectangular ottoman. Measure the frame to ensure you have enough fabric and foam to cover it.

After seeing a picture of a vintage ottoman with a hidden trampoline inside on pinterest I obviously stored it away for a few years in the recesses of my brain (can’t remember any of my passwords but can remember an exact project I wanted to make from years ago lol) I knew it was finally time to make one for my daughters for Christmas, and let’s face it for me too! I used a basic trampoline and a few tablecloths and can I just say I loveeeeeee it so much?! What do you think?! In case you missed it in part 1 I made skirt for this trampoline and used Velcro to attach it on! This time around I opted for a giant cushion, I did consider doing an actual upholstered solid cushion but I knew we’d love something comfy and squishy. annnddddd after so many of you asked, I’ve added the full tutorial and pattern for this to my @genevasdiyschool sewing course, you can comment ‘make’ and I’ll send you the link (we also have a bunch of amazing course bundles in case you want to get crafty AND save). Now I just want to go have fun on this! But tell me is this great or is this insane, Ben thinks it’s insane tehe. #trampolineottoman #ottoman #sewingprojects #sewing #diy | Geneva Vanderzeil | Facebook

Next, choose your fabric. Opt for a durable, easy-to-clean material that complements your room's decor. Consider using outdoor fabric for added durability and easy maintenance.

Preparing the Trampoline Frame

Start by removing the trampoline mat and springs. You won't need these for your ottoman. The frame will serve as the base for your new piece of furniture.

Inspect the frame for any sharp edges or points. If necessary, use sandpaper to smooth them out to prevent injury and ensure a smooth surface for your fabric.

Adding the Foam Layer

Measure and cut foam to fit the top and sides of the trampoline frame. You'll want a thickness that provides comfort when sitting but isn't so thick that it makes the ottoman too tall.

Use a hot glue gun to attach the foam to the frame. Work in sections, applying glue to the frame and pressing the foam firmly in place. Allow the glue to cool and set before moving on to the next step.

Upholstering Your Trampoline Ottoman

Now that the foam is secure, it's time to add the fabric. Start by laying your fabric wrong side up on a flat surface. Place the ottoman frame on top, ensuring it's centered and the fabric is pulled taut.

Using a staple gun, secure the fabric to the underside of the frame. Work in small sections, pulling the fabric taut as you go. Trim any excess fabric with scissors.

Finishing Touches

Once the fabric is secure, flip the ottoman right side up. You should now have a comfortable, stylish seat that doubles as storage. To hide the seam where the fabric meets the floor, you can add a simple trim or fringe.

For added functionality, consider adding a tray or a set of wheels to your ottoman. This will allow you to easily move it around the room or use it as a serving tray for snacks and drinks.

Your DIY Trampoline Ottoman is now ready to be the centerpiece of your room. Not only does it provide extra seating, but it also adds a unique, handmade touch to your space. So, go ahead, put your feet up, and enjoy your new creation!
