“A Bed Against Two Walls Brings Woes and Tribulations, the Ancients Warned”

Bedroom feng shui directly impacts your health and family happiness. According to ancient wisdom, “A bed with its head against two walls brings sickness and misfortune.” In practice, placing the head of your bed against either of these walls can cause sleep disturbances. But which two walls are they?

1. Headboard Against the Bathroom/Toilet Wall

When positioning your headboard against the bathroom wall, aside from aesthetic concerns, there are other issues to consider, such as:

– Odor: Unpleasant smells from the bathroom can permeate the bedroom, severely affecting respiratory health.

– Bacteria and Mold: Bathrooms provide an ideal environment for bacteria and mold to thrive. When your headboard is against this wall, these harmful microorganisms can easily reach your bed, posing significant health risks.

– Noise: The sound of running water and flushing can interrupt sleep, especially at night when it’s quieter, causing sleep disturbances.

2. Headboard Against the Window Wall

In addition to the bathroom wall, placing your bed right next to the window is also concerning due to the following reasons:

– Draft: If the window isn’t sealed properly, drafts can cause discomfort and even headaches while sleeping.

– Light: Early morning sunlight or streetlights at night can disrupt sleep, especially if your curtains don’t provide adequate coverage.

– Dust and Bacteria: Windows tend to accumulate dust and bacteria. When the bed is nearby, these can easily settle on the bed, affecting your skin and respiratory health.

– Humidity: During rainy seasons, the area near the window can become damp, leading to serious respiratory issues like allergic rhinitis.

However, if your bedroom is limited in space and you can’t avoid having your bed against the window or bathroom wall, there are simple remedies. You can install soundproof windows and use light-blocking curtains. Additionally, improve sound insulation by wrapping the pipes in the bathroom and treating the walls with sound-absorbing materials.

Suggestions for Placing Your Bed in a Feng Shui-Compliant Manner

+ Choose the Airiest Spot in the Room for Your Bed

Before positioning your bed, identify the airiest spot in the room, where natural light is easily accessible, creating a cooler and more pleasant atmosphere. Placing your bed in such a location will promote better sleep and allow you to embrace fresher energy from the space.

At the same time, avoid placing your bed in secluded and stuffy corners. This will hinder the flow of energy, resulting in a stifling and gloomy atmosphere.

+ Position Your Bed at an Angle to the Entrance

In reality, the entrance is where energy and air circulate, sometimes carrying harmful energy and winds. Therefore, avoid placing your bed directly in line with the door. Instead, position it at an angle to the room’s main entrance to ensure Feng Shui compliance.
