I am moving into a new apartment next week. The bedroom has me a little confused. The LOGICAL place to put the bed seems not to be good feng shui.
The bedroom is in the Southeast corner. The door is on the north wall. There is a window on the South wall. No matter where I put the bed, the door will open to it. I don't like sleeping with my head under a window.
The logical place to put the bed is against the East wall. It looks nice in the room and seems to feel good. In this location, the door only opens to the foot of the bed. However, (my number is 2), this is a very BAD position for me to sleep in.
The next location is to have the bed against the West wall. My sleeping position is best in this location. The drawbacks are that the door opens up to the bed (I can put a little distance between the door and the bed, but not much.), and the headboard will be against a wall that is shared with the other bedroom, which I do not particularly like...but will certainly do if necessary.
Can you help me figure out the best location for the bed?
Thanks

Yes, in Feng Shui, this is not ideal.
A `coffin' position is where one's leg face the bedroom door.
One remedy, although not ideal is to use e.g. a 4 drawer linen cabinet (as a shield).

I believe, this is the `coffin position'. Not auspicious.
Perhaps, take a look at the attachment to see if it looks like this. If it is, this is the `coffin' position.

If you have a sketch, it would help. As a picture can tell at one glance and the relationship and depth of the room to the door etc..

I have a similar problem. My best direction is east (3), but there is not really enough room in the bedroom to do this (leaves only about 15 inches to walk at the foot of the bed). Room is n-s longest, but window is on north, where head of bed would go; master bath is on south wall; built in closet on west wall. How do I remedy north head of bed? Or should I just remedy the small walking space at the foot of the bed, with head of the bed east instead?
