Bedroom beigeIs it possible for the placement of your bed to affect your health? Read more to find out.

Question:

Does where I place my bed in my bedroom have anything to do with my health?

Answer:

Yes, the placement of your bed affects your health in many ways. If your bed is improperly placed you may experience one or more of these symptoms:

  • Headaches including migraines
  • Anger orange bedroom
  • Restless sleep
  • Anxiety
  • Heart trouble
  • Illness along the body's midline, digestion, nose, mouth, reproductive organs, etc.
  • Accident prone
  • Trouble maintaining intimacy
  • Narrow point of view
  • Chronic illness

I worked with Mazie, a client, who had her bed on the same wall as the door. She had trouble sleeping through the night. She tossed and turned all night long. Mazie could not relax enough because she was too close to the door, and her body could not fully rest. It was always on alert, which caused her to be a light sleeper at best.

The best placement of the bed in a bedroom for good health is:

  • the furthest from the door without being in direct line with the door called the command position
  • facing the door so you can see the door while you are in bed
  • Any other bed placement will be problematic to your health, such as a bed on the same wall as the door, a bed in direct line with the door, or a bed that does not have at least the headboard against a wall.

Here are other bed tips that will ensure good health in body, mind and spirit:   

  1. Make sure to keep the space under your bed clear; nothing is stored there. The air must flow around your bed to rejuvenate you as you sleep. Stuff under the bed slows that process down and can rob you of vitality.
  2. Do not use electric blankets because they create electromagnetic fields that can harm your health. Even when they are turned off, the blankets send electromagnetic currents to you. They need to be unplugged or, better yet, removed from the bed. Have a Feng Shui practitioner use their gauge meter to give you a reading; you will be surprised.
  3. Ensure the headboard is solidly attached to the bed and against the wall. This creates a foundation for support while you sleep and is symbolic of support for the rest of your life, too.
  4. The bed's frame, box springs, and mattress should all be in good condition. Also, remember the bedding: pillows, blankets, sheets, mattress cover, and comforter.
  5. Water and air beds do not have a strong foundation and support for the individual. There could be problems with stability and the ability to take action. A traditional mattress is best.

Take a moment to reflect on the health of your mind, body, and spirit. Next, look at your bed and determine what needs repaircleaning, or moving. 

Make an action plan. Remember, your bed is one key to your good health, and if you place it right and take care of it, it will take care of you.

    Ah, the headboard, it is important. The headboard symbolizes the foundation and support in our lives. There are so many types of headboards to choose from. You can even make one with plywood and cover it with fabric that fits your decor. A piece of advice, don’t wait to find the “perfect” headboard, sometimes starting with a simple one will help you figure out what you really want. Let me know what you decide.

    Great article. Very helpful. Only thing that I need to remedy is a headboard. I don’t have one. I’ve used a large picture as a headboard instead. I have not found a headboard I like.
