We know you have always wanted to know about the origins of the bouncy castle (!?!) and as a friendly and accommodating bouncy castle hire company, here is a brief account of everything you will ever need to know about the bouncy castle.

The inflatable structure was designed in 1959 by John Scurlock who was experimenting with inflatable covers for tennis courts when he noticed his employees enjoyed jumping up and down on the covers. He started out with a large air mattress and in 1967 added walls – and so the initial concept of the bouncy castle as we know it today was born.

The surfaces of bouncy castles are typically composed of thick, strong PVC or vinyl and nylon and the castle is inflated using an electric blower. The principle of the bouncy castle is to allow a constant flow of air through the product, allowing it to escape through tiny holes along the seams of the bouncy castle itself. A bouncy castle is simply a large cold air inflatable structure that people can bounce on for recreation and exercise. Bouncy castles have different names throughout the world.

They have been marketed with names such as Astrojump, moonwalk, bounce house, moon bounce or jolly jump in the USA; and as jumping castles in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa.
