My mother used to tell me to quit jumping on the bed because it will wear a hole in the mattress. I don't live with her anymore, and I jump on my bed when I feel like it now--which is nearly every day. I know someone will plan to say that the best prevention is not jumping on the bed at all, but that is completely out of the question as I'm addicted to this activity. Would you recommend getting a mattress pad or something to cover that up to prevent premature wear to the mattress?
What about laying a piece of plywood across the top of the mattress?...although it will reduce the amount of bounce I get.

i think the best way to prevent a hole from wearing in your bed would to be not to jump in the same spot everyday...
You can jump on your bed but change it up, one day jump in the corner of the bed then the next day move to another corner and then another day jump in the middle, and so on. and then when it starts to wear on that side, i suggest you flip the mattress to the other side and continue to jump in different spots of the bed everyday.
If you think about it, it does wear the bed down a bit but it does it evenly because you are doing it on different spots everyday as oppose to jumping in the same spot.
well hope this helps and be careful when you're jumping around! :)
(hope you're doing good, i see you got a new pic up, that i can hardly see, but it's nice. :) Whatever happened to getting that 360??? haha well hope you are doing well)

If this is a serious question,... get used to replacing your mattress often. It is the price you pay for jumping on the bed. It wears it out... plain and simple.

I suggest jumping on only one foot, that way your feet hit the bed half as much, and it will take twice as long to wear it out. I'm constantly having the same dilemma.
Or perhaps trade in the bed entirely, and get yourself one of those mini-trampolines to sleep on, that's what ma did for me(I'm on my third one because I jump so much). Ma is threatening to take me to the psychiatrist one of these days; maybe you should come with.
You know, some times, if I creep up the stairs and look through the crack under the door to my room, I see ma jumping on my trampoline too!!! I think it's genetically.

Plywood UNDER the mattress will be easier on your feet and provide support for your back when sleeping. Take your shoes off first! A spring mattress is best.
A mattress is good for only three activities: jumping on, sleeping on and ...you know, the other one.
If jumping with a friend, please jump in tandem. Jumping in sequence is ... Well, that's just crazy talk !!!

I suggest serious treatment by a competent psychiatrist.
