Is Your Bed Hurting Your Love Life?

Are you sabotaging your relationship, or hurting your chances at finding love, because of negative Feng Shui in your bedroom? Good Feng Shui in the bedroom begins with the bed.

Proper placement
To insure a restful night's sleep - which will help all other areas of your life fall into place - set your bed in the command position of your bedroom.

The proper command position puts the bed on one of the opposite walls of the door, but not directly in line with the door. Your sleep may suffer if your bed is in line with the door. You can see examples of three command positions here.

Headboard
A bed's headboard should be solid, firmly affixed to the bed frame, and made of one piece of wood or fabric. A headboard represents stability in an existing relationship as well as the promise of future romance.

Many people - especially men and tall people - don't like foot boards. Some say it makes the bed feel like a coffin. You don't need one, but if you have one it should be no higher than the mattress.

Size matters.
A twin bed is too small for two. A full is better, but may not provide enough room for two adults. Whether you have already found the love of your life or want to attract a lover, a Queen size bed is the optimal size. A king-size bed leaves no room for advancement. Your next step might be back down to a twin.

No squeaky springs
You don't have to pay a lot to get a top-quality mattress, but your mattress should be in good condition for a better night's sleep. No one wants to sleep on a torn or stained mattress, and squeaky springs can definitely put a damper on your love life.
