Hotel front desk employees see their fair share of late check-outs, and for all kinds of reasons.

When Sam was in Montana recently he had time to kill before checkout so he got busy with his camera. Since he didn’t give us the name of the hotel in Montana where this hilarious bed levitation was captured, we have to assume that Sam still owes the hotel a fee for a late departure!

If you enjoy looking at the hilarious and entertaining images on BedJump.com, then imagine how we feel every time we open our email inbox to see what images we have received for the day. This is the best gig in the world.

Quinn recently sent in this photo from the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Quinn didn’t give us much information along with her submission, but we understand why since this image says plenty all by itself.

Bed jumps are like fingerprints. Each is unique. The facial expressions, body positions and timing of bed jump photos can never be duplicated. The uniqueness of these images is what makes them so interesting, and they can reveal much about the personality of the hotel guests who submit them.

Our jumpers are the coolest hotel guests anywhere, that much we know.

BedJump.com has received hundreds of hilarious hotel bed jumping images over the last few months, and we are grateful for that. These images bring smiles to thousands of people, and the stories that come with them are both entertaining and educational.

There were only two images that we received that we chose not to post on the site, and that was simply because the bed jumpers were completely naked! The pictures were hilarious, but we want to be mindful of the fact the we have viewers of all ages - including bed jumping kids.

Once in a while we read a comment out there from a viewer suggesting that we are promoting the destruction of hotel property, and we are quick to point out that our intent is to celebrate hotels and hotel beds, not destroy them. Modern hotels beds have been super-tested under stressful conditions. They can take much more punishment than our bed jumpers deliver.

Today, for the first time, we are featuring a hotel bed jump that did end up damaging a hotel bed - although it was quickly fixed. When Matthias, featured below, pulled off his mattress to fix the old wooden box underneath at the Hotel Kubler in Karlsruhe, Germany, he found something he was not expecting!

Unfortunately, I found your site too late. This last year I was traveling almost every month. Now I’m stuck here till next year, so this will be my first, and for some time the last picture I send to you.

I’ve never tried this before, so the picture is not mid-air or in a cool position like I wanted to, so it’s not getting better than this. The bed is very small…I banged my head 2 times. Or was it three? Can’t remember.

Anyway, while jumping on the bed, I dislodged the wooden bed frame slats, so no more practice for me. While I was fixing the bed, I found a dead bird beneath.

“Manager! There is a Pet Semetary in this guestroom”

- Hopefully he will not ask how I found it…

The dead bird is the only negative thing I can say about this hotel. The employees are very nice and the room I have is GREAT. So is the room service. I have a little kitchen and they even wash the dishes!

I also think that the bird didn’t go itself under the bed (it’s a closed room under the bed), so I assume it’s a bad joke made by a pre-user of this room.

We have heard many comments from some of our taller viewers that some folks just aren’t built for hotel bed jumping. We feel for you…but don’t let that stop you!

Bed diving, bed rolling, bed swimming, bed making…we love it all!

OK, besides all the smiles, the laughter and the youthful behaviour we love to feature on Bedjump.com, we also feel that it is important to be honest with our viewers. So, please be aware that you do need to be careful when you are gett’n your jump-on.

And if this tiny little paper-cut is going to slow you down…maybe you’re just not cool enough for BedJump.com! =)

Last night I was awake all night stressing over the fact that BedJump.com has not been very socially conscious to date. Sure we’ve entertained thousands over the last month, but what have we really contributed towards the “betterment” of society?

In an effort to “raise the bar” and distinguish ourselves amid the fierce competition in pure entertainment hotel bed blogs….

…welcome to Hotel Bedding Tip #1.

If your hotel bed has lovely triple-sheeted linen carefully placed over a gorgeous goosedown duvet cover, then fear not. You’re in for a treat.

If you check in and find an old bedspread with the same pattern as Frank Bonner’s jacket - you can be sure that guests have been smoking and picking their feet on that bedding.
