People who study or are masters of feng shui do not recommend sleeping with their feet out of the room.

Why do they say that it is impossible

The bed is the most "intimate" place in the bedroom, so it should be hidden as much as possible from prying eyes. Scientists argue that the requirement not to place it opposite the door is dictated by "historical memory." It is generally accepted that even at the dawn of mankind, such a situation in caves and the first dwellings that were not equipped with locks was considered the most vulnerable and disadvantageous, from the point of view of protecting the life of the person himself and his habitat.

Recently, there has been a great interest in the philosophy of Feng Shui, which, like many Slavic beliefs, explains why it is impossible to put the bed in the bedroom with your feet to the door:

  • it provokes the onset of diseases of organs located along the midline of the body;
  • if the bed adjoins the wall opposite the door, this is doubly inconvenient: with each opening or noise behind the wall, sleep will be disturbed;
  • such a position obstructs the view: it is impossible to see the incoming person without getting up.

Interpretation of beliefs

Among the beliefs of different peoples about placing the bed opposite the door, there is a lot in common or close in understanding.

If you sleep like this, then after waking up there will be no feeling of rest, on the contrary - a person will wake up tired, broken, and will not be able to rest or work normally.
  1. Among the Slavs and some other peoples, a bed set "with feet to the door" is the position of a deceased. Through the opening door, his soul leaves this world.
  2. In Indian and Chinese philosophy, among other eastern peoples, discussions were found about the movement of energy flows of different directions and influences, including negative ones. They can harm a person occupying such a sleeping place, but the sleeping person will not be able to cope with them. In addition, this position leads to a loss of vitality.
  3. Slavic beliefs asserted that the door is a kind of portal to another world. The soul separating from the sleeping person sets off on an independent journey. She can slip through the doorway into the "other world" and not return from there.

If a man or woman does not believe in signs, preferring a scientific view of the world, then no problems should arise - it is allowed to sleep, as convenient or pleasant. 

How to properly position the bed in the room

To sleep well and get up in the morning in a vigorous state, you need to correctly arrange the bed, taking into account the possibilities of the room. In this case, you need to try to find a place so that the bed does not stand in front of the door.

The furnishings in the bedroom should be conducive to relaxation and recuperation.

In a small room, without disturbing the harmony of the movement of energies, it can be placed:

  • across the bedroom;
  • along the wall;
  • headboard to the window.

The spacious square has a wide field of activity and the ability to choose the most comfortable one.

Leave at least 50 cm between furniture and walls for comfortable movement around the bedroom.

The narrow long space requires a transverse arrangement of the bed: this will visually "shorten" the room and provide free access to the bed.

Place the bed headboard against the wall, make a high headboard. This is due not only to the rational use of space, but psychological calmness.

Location tips

To create maximum comfort in the bedroom, it is important to choose the right color scheme for the room, curtains, and other accessories and conveniently position the bed.

Designers and psychotherapists believe that the best location where it can be placed is diagonal, relative to the door.

Choose a place to sleep in such a way that you can see everyone entering the bedroom.

It is good if the headboard "faces" north or east. In this case, it is better if the headboard is fully pushed against the wall.

Do not place the bed with the headboard towards the window, opposite the door. This will affect sleep comfort.

Excellent options: along the wall, in the opposite corner from the entrance, or in the middle of the room with the back to the wall.

The bed should stand with its head close to the wall, in no case in the center of the bedroom.

If there is an exit to the balcony from the bedroom, then it is better to install the bed parallel to it: there will be enough light in the room, which will not fill the space of the room, but will not disturb sleep.

Keep the door closed to prevent foreign energy from entering the resting space.

If the bedroom has two windows, then the location of the bed in the wall between them will be quite convenient.
