Every parent knows, even if they don’t admit it, that given half a chance any child will indulge in bed jumping activities to his or her heart’s content and then use it to build some sort of fort or palace. Some people never grow out of this destructive past time. In fact there is a website, called Bed Jump.com dedicated to these adult children who take advantage of the anonymity of hotel rooms and post pictures of their illicit bed jumping activities for all to see.

If your child is really dedicated to bed jumping, you might find yourself having to replace the bedroom furniture every 5 years or locking your bedroom door so they don’t start punching holes in your antique French bed. Yet, there is one solution for this: a ‘jumper-proof’ bed.
The bullet-proof bed, called Quantum sleeper was patented four years ago

and was designed with some national disaster starring Brue Willis in mind, so it will definitely outlive an evil bed-jumping child. The bed is made from polycarbonate plastic and is water tight to protect you from flooding and comes with a ventilation system and back-up power system. It can take a bullet so it should be able to handle a succession of exuberant bed jumps.
If you’re looking for something more mainstream you may want to consider investing in an iron or metal bed frame. These last far longer than wooden-framed beds especially if they’re constantly being put to the test. Double bed frames also come with six legs for better balance and durability and so will withstand battering better than a single bed.
However, if you’re an average parent, you’re not going to have a huge budget with which to support your child’s bed jumping addictions, so there is only one real solution available to you and it is really quite simple: buy good quality children’s beds, start clamping down on the discipline and encourage your kids to jump in bed not on the bed. If your children jump on their beds, deny them TV rights for a week, because less face it, TV is a more popular form of entertainment than bed jumping among children and adults alike.
