So what does it all mean? When you compare inflatables you find out that one is built to last a short period of time and the other is built to last longer. So ask yourself, what purpose will this be for? If you intend on using an inflatable only once or twice, it might actually be better to rent it instead of purchasing it. If you are looking to buy a commercial inflatable or indoor play center then you should really consider the differences and choose a commercial bouncer that is built to last longer and is safer.
