Why Feng Shui Says Never to Place Your Bed Facing the Door

Introduction

Have you ever rearranged your bedroom only to feel… unsettled? Sometimes it’s not just the decor — it’s the energy of the space. A viral image recently sparked conversations online, showing an elderly woman warning: never place your bed in this position or you risk inviting poverty and misfortune.

It sounds dramatic, but this idea has deep roots in Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of harmonizing living spaces for health, prosperity, and well-being. Let’s unpack what this really means — and how you can position your bed for better rest and positive energy.

The “Forbidden” Bed Position

In Feng Shui, sleeping with your feet pointing directly toward the door is called the coffin position. This name comes from the way the deceased are carried feet-first out of a room in traditional Chinese funerals.

According to Feng Shui beliefs, this setup can:

• Let your life energy (Chi) “escape” while you sleep.

• Invite financial or emotional struggles.

• Disrupt your rest, leading to stress or illness.

Why Feng Shui Cares About Bed Placement

Feng Shui is all about creating balance between you and your surroundings. The bed is especially important because you spend hours there in a vulnerable, restorative state. Positioning it thoughtfully is believed to help preserve energy, improve sleep, and invite prosperity.
