What The Direction Of Your Bed Means, According To Feng Shui

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Thursday, June 6, 2024

To practice good feng shui in the bedroom, here are some guidelines and what different bed positions signify. If you have a clear view of the door from your bed, this means you're in a commanding position, which is optimal in feng shui. It should promote a feeling of safety and relaxation (via VeryWellMind). However, you want to avoid being in line with the door, or having your feet point toward it, when lying bed. This is known as the "coffin position," and it puts you in the main path of traffic into and out of the bedroom. 

The headboard should be against a solid wall that is not shared with the toilet if the bathroom is on the other side of the wall. And avoid placing the headboard against any windows, as "it can create a feeling of insecurity because it's less safe," certified feng shui consultant Anjie Cho told MindBodyGreen.

You should also leave around 18 inches of space on either side of a bed rather than place the bed in the corner of two walls, according to The Spruce. This allows plenty of room for balance among your yin and yang. Lastly, avoid placing the bed under any sloped ceilings or beams. These can cause you to feel increased pressure.
