I'm wondering could one of you maybe rolled on him or kicked him in your sleep and that is why he has started doing this. Not that knowing why is really going to help though. I would have to agree with Danielle and take him out of the bed. Our bed is too high for Reagan to jump on so if we don't pick her up she can't get up so we don't have a problem keeping her out of the bed if needed. If he isn't used to being crated then I would start putting him in it at various other times just so he gets used to it, then introduce it at night. And if he is already used to it just put him in and if needed move him to another room for a couple nights until he can keep quiet. After he really gets used to sleeping in his crate you could try keeping the door open at night.
Or you could just put him on the floor and each time he tries to jump up on the bed block him and tell him no bed and maybe even place him in a bed of his own. The only problem with this would be once you guys are asleep he could sneak his way up there, if you do wake up and he is up there put him on the floor and tell him no bed. But over time of you telling him no and not letting him on the bed he will evenutally learn he can't sleep up there. You have to stay consistant with this if this is the way you go, don't ever cave. Also I wouldn't let him up there at all, even during the day at least until he learns he's not allowed to sleep up there, if not forever. I might start with this and if there is no way he is getting it then move to the crate.
