BedJump: Making Hotels Fun Again

I love to travel, but staying in a hotel has lost some of its luster since I was a kid. Sure there's room service and if I'm lucky there's a mini-bar, but it's lost a little of its charm. BedJump on the other hand, makes me excited to stay in hotels again. Every couple of days, BedJump updates with hilarious photos of real people jumping on hotel beds, usually with the person in mid-air. Who says jumping on the bed is naughty?





The people at BedJump are right when they say that there's something luxurious and intoxicating about hotel beds. They're relaxing, they're usually comfortable, but best of all, they're bouncy. BedJump regularly posts photos of real hotel guests staying at hotels around the world, enjoying the bounciness of the bed they paid to sleep in. The site takes submissions from anyone who wants to send them, and posts nearly all the photos they get.



BedJump is actually part of the larger site Hotels By City, which helps vacationers find destinations for their trip depending on the type of vacation they'd like to take, the best hotels for their vacation type or the city they've visiting, and helps users book hotels and vacation packages once they've decided where they want to go. BedJump encourages people to explore the rest of the Hotels By City network of sites to book their vacations, and once they've found a hotel in which to stay, to take their best mid-air snapshots or hotel bed lounging photos and submit them to the site.



Extended features aside, BedJump is a lot of fun. You can sign up for e-mail updates when a new bedjumper's photos are posted. If you're interested specifically in bed jumps on cruise ships, entire photo sets of bed jumps, bed jumping videos, or even a tutorial on how to bed jump, you'll find links to each category on the sidebar. If you're in love with the site, you can even buy a BedJump t-shirt to wear while you're jumping on the bed during your next vacation.
