Bedroom tips for better sleep

How to Position Your Bed for Better Sleep and Harmony

The way you position your bed plays a crucial role in creating good Feng Shui in your bedroom. Proper bed placement can improve the quality of your sleep, enhance your sense of peace, and even invite more romance into your life.

A few simple adjustments can make a big difference in how balanced you feel in your space.

Place your bed against a solid wall

Avoid placing your bed under a window. A solid wall behind your bed offers stability, protection, and support while you sleep.

Avoid Placing Your Bed on the Same Wall as a Toilet

Walls shared with a bathroom—especially one with a toilet—can lead to weakened energy and disturbed rest. Try to position your bed on a wall that doesn’t back up to plumbing.

Keep Your Bed Away From Doors

Don’t position your bed directly in line with the door, especially the bedroom door, bathroom door, or closet. This is called the “coffin position” in Feng Shui and is believed to drain energy.

Use a solid headboard

A sturdy headboard symbolizes support in life and relationships. Choose one that is upholstered or made of wood—something strong and secure.

Don’t Let Mirrors Face Your Bed

Mirrors that reflect the bed can disturb your sleep and cause restlessness. Cover or reposition mirrors that directly face your bed.

Avoid sleeping under a low sloped ceiling or beams

Low ceilings or exposed beams can create pressure and disrupt your energy. They may contribute to stress, poor sleep, or even headaches.

Create a Calm and Clutter-Free Sleep Environment
Your bedroom should be a sanctuary for rest and romance—not a storage room. Boxes or stacks of books block the smooth flow of chi (energy). Avoid storing anything under your bed. It can cause energetic stagnation and affect your sleep quality.

Shelves packed with books, medicine, or heavy items above your head can create subconscious stress and lead to restless nights or nightmares.

Be Intentional with Bedroom Decor

Choose artwork and objects in your bedroom with care. Ask yourself:

What does this image or item symbolize?
Who gave it to me, and how does it make me feel?
