# Bed head (床头)

> The bed head is where the pillow lies and the sleeper's head rests. In feng shui and home design, it should rest against a solid wall, not a window or a WC wall, stay off the line of the door, and point to a good sector of the home.

## Explanation

Sleep fills a third of our lives, so the bed head is one of the most carefully checked positions. Feng shui reads its sector from the house's orientation; architecture looks at the supporting wall, light, noise and movement in the room.

Turning the bed is the gentlest feng shui fix there is — usually no building work at all.

## Questions

### Which way should the bed head point?

There is no single right direction for every home; good sectors depend on that home's orientation. Set polarity, then see which sector the bed head falls in.

### Is a bed head under a window a problem?

Best avoided: there is no support behind, and draughts and light disturb sleep. If unavoidable, use heavy curtains and a tall headboard.
