Feng Shui Good Bed, Feng Shui Bad Bed
Monday March 19, 2007
From "Time to go to bed!" to "Shall we go to bed?" to "He is on his deathbed.." - the bed is the most used, famous and important feng shui piece of furniture in one's life.
Needless to say, feng shui-wise, a good bed is one of the most important feng shui purchases you will make for your own well-being.
What makes a great feng shui bed? Three things:
- Good headboard. While you are drifting off to sleep, your body is going intro an extra busy energy repair work on many levels. Subconsciously your head needs good backing, protection and support, just like your back needs it when you are seating in a chair for extended periods of time. Best feng shui headboards are the ones that are solid and made from wood, or the upholstered ones, as they have a very good combination of solid, but also gentle and supporting feng shui energy for you and your bedroom.
- Good mattress. There is a variety of mattresses on the market, choose wisely and invest in the one that will promote best sleep and relaxation. The better you sleep at night, the better your health, this is really simple.
- Good height to allow for a balanced feng shui energy flow under the bed. Generally, the beds that have built-in storage drawers underneath to help you with storage solutions are considered bad feng shui beds. The energy needs to circulate around your body when you sleep, which is not possible if the space underneath the bed is blocked.
I recently bought my dream bed - an upholstered bed with a beautiful headboard and just the right height. It gives me great pleasure to look at it, sleep in it, and, needless to say, I absolutely and totally love it!
What's your bed like - is it a good feng shui bed or a bad feng shui bed?

i kept my Bed in the direction of south side and i have improved my love life to a certain extent,career wise it was not good.could you please help to improve my career?
I would suggest focusing on the North area of your whole space, as well as your office. Check your main door energy flow. Also, find out your Kua number and see what your best directions are.
Cheers!
does the color of the bed affects the feng shui of the room?
Could you tell me if I could have a vanity table in my bedroom, it is small one and has 3 mirrors, in which area of the bedroom can I put it or do mirrors have not place in the bedroom?
Yes, the color of the bed affects the feng shui of the room, as color is one of the strongest expressions of energy.
See our videos with feng shui color tips, as well as feng shui tips for bedroom:

As long as the mirrors are relatively small and do not reflect the bed, the vanity table is ok.
How would it affect my love life if I buy a used bed with a used mattress?
I would suggest you go for a new mattress, as you never know the energy and the love luck of people who used it before.
Hope that helps!

Our bedroom has a sloped roof and small built in wardrobes at either side and the bed lying in the middle (The bed is in the middle of the room and faces the door which is offset to one corner so only part of the bed (mainly my side!) is directly in front of the door. . . . As we cannot move the bed from its position as space is limited is their anything I can do (or do I need to do anything ) to offset the fact that my bed side is in front of the door?
Yes, you need to create some sort of protection or division between the bed and the door. See this feng shui forum discussion for some helpful tips:
