The bed is the most important piece of furniture in your home to position for feng shui.
Feng shui aims to balance qi in your home to promote your well-being.
A bed facing the door, for example, is considered bad feng shui.

We also spend many hours in bed while were sleeping, in a passive state.
When were asleep, we are more open to the energies around us.
Therefore, you spend your most private time there.

This is why in feng shui, your bed best represents and most deeply affects you.
The classical feng shui schools have something called the coffin position.
This describes one way in which your bed can be in line with the door.

The coffin position is when you’re lying in bed, and your feet are pointed toward the door.
In feng shui, the coffin position is considered unlucky and said to disrupt sleep.
Ideally, you want your bed in command, which means youre in command of your life.
This places you in the best position to receive positive energy, improving your success in the world.
This is exactly how the qi flows directly into the bed.
The diagram below shows two examples with a suggested correction.
This means you may end up sleeping in the coffin position.
In this case, the footboard would work as a buffer to the door.
Hang the new crystal ball from the ceiling halfway between the bed and the door.
The length should align with the top of the door frame.
Be sure that the door does not hit the crystal ball.
See the diagram above for recommended locations.
This will also deflect and disperse any qi that comes in through the door.
If you use this option, be sure that the room is still spacious and not cramped.
Basically, dont use this adjustment if the furniture becomes an obstacle to the door or the bed.
Instead use the crystal option above.
In feng shui, ideally, you’d place a bed in the commanding position.
In feng shui, the wrong way to face when sleeping is in the coffin position.
