Planning a party and wondering… what is a bounce house and what is it best used for?
A bounce house (also known as a jumper, inflatable, or moonwalk) is one of the most popular party rentals for kids — and for good reason. It brings energy, excitement, and nonstop fun to any event.
At A&E Air Jumpers, we specialize in helping you choose the perfect inflatable for your space, your guest count, and your event type.
A bounce house is an inflatable structure made from durable vinyl material that is continuously filled with air using a blower.
This creates a soft, bouncy surface where kids can:
✔ Jump
✔ Play
✔ Burn off energy safely
Bounce houses are designed with:
- Mesh siding for visibility and airflow
- Soft inflatable walls for safety
- Bright, colorful designs that attract kids
Bounce houses require constant airflow from a blower to stay inflated.
👉 Important:
- The blower must remain on at all times
- Each blower requires a dedicated 20 amp breaker
- Larger units may require multiple blowers
This is why proper power setup is essential for your event.
