You just got a Tempur-pedic bed! That tells us at least two things about you. First, you are smart. And second, you love comfortable beds. But now that you’ve bought your new bed, you are probably wondering, what comes next? What about some help setting up your sleeping area? That’s where Feng Shui – an ancient Chinese pseudoscience that is commonly used to help design and layout living spaces – comes in.
Your new mattress gives you a chance to breathe in the fresh air of change, and take a look at what is and what isn’t working in your current bedroom space. We’re also here to help you do that. So, without further ado, here are some Feng Shui tips to help you redecorate your room with your new Tempur-Pedic bed.
Bed Placement
You have a brand spanking new Tempur-pedic bed, so shouldn’t you get the very best from it? Absolutely! And does Feng Shui have a suggestion for where you should put your bed? Double absolutely!
Your bed should give you a view of the door so that you can see if somebody walks in, but not be directly in front of the door. Also, you want some duality to your bed. It should have room on each side for a person to get into it, and also balanced nightstands on both sides.
Round Nightstands
This one might be oddly specific, but who is to argue with ancient geomancy? While we are on the topic of roundtables, Feng Shui calls for specific ones. Instead of square endtables, go for rounded ones. Right angles can create “poison arrows” which aim bad energy directly at your sleeping space.
Use Your Head
Pillows aren’t the only support that your head needs. You also should invest in a good headboard, and a wood one at that. A wood headboard (wood is thought to help support your energy) makes a good companion piece for your Tempur-Pedic mattress – giving you additional support along with all the support from the mattress -- so you’ll be bringing out the energy of your space and complimenting your new mattress at the same time!
Empty of Electronics
This probably isn’t the first time you’ve heard this advice, but it also has its own basis in Feng Shui. The bedroom is for sleeping and it isn’t a place for electronics, which create Electro-magnetic fields. The fewer the better, even if it is somewhat of a modern impossibility to remove them completely from your room. If you are electronic addicted, you can start by moving one minor electronic device out of the room, then wait a few days and remove another. Keep repeating the process until your space is finally electronic free!
Coupling Up
If you are single and looking, creating a space that can be open to another person is important. You don’t want your bed to be in a corner up against a wall, or have access or a nightstand only on one side. Pretend you are decorating for two, and make sure that you aren’t sending other unconscious single signals to people who enter the room, either.
Of course, decorating can be tricky. But, with your new mattress at your back – and these handy Feng Shui tips front and center in your mind – you’ll be able to create a safe and happy bedroom space that maximizes your own personal energy, and that will put your Tempeur-Pedic mattress to its best use yet!
