King-Sized Beds: Bad Feng Shui in the Bedroom

Doesn’t this bed look just delicious?

Unfortunately from a Feng Shui perspective there is something very wrong with this bed: the people who share it are symbolically divided from one another.

A bed, divided...

A bed, divided…

While the mattress is King-sized, the headboard and box spring are in two separate parts, splitting the bed in half.

The people who sleep here may believe they sleep in one bed, but every night they’re actually separated from one another.

(There’s yet another problem — can you guess it? See *answer below.)

Feng Shui recommends against King-size beds because their box springs usually come in two pieces, dividing the bed in two.

If you have a King bed, make sure it’s a uniter, not a divider.

You can use your intention to symbolically “knit” separate box springs into one piece. Lay a piece of red cloth over them (out of sight under the mattress), assuring yourself and your partner that you’re really sleeping in the same bed.

*answer: This bedroom reflects an unequal partnership: only one side of the bed has a table and lamp!
