We live with many family members in our home. Family members share many spaces, such as a kitchen, toilet, drawing room, etc, but the bedroom is very personal to us. After a tiring day, we go to our bedroom to relax, and this is where we spend most of our time when we are at home.

That’s why the environment of the bedroom has a lot of influence on our lives, as per Vastu Shastra, and we want to keep it free from any Vastu defects.

When we talk about the bedroom, what matters the most is the bed direction, as per Vastu in our bedroom.

Before discussing the best bed direction, as per Vastu, we must keep in mind the best sleeping direction as per Vastu. Our bedroom can be placed in multiple directions, but what is more important is to take care of where we are, keeping our head and feet while sleeping on the bed. When we sleep, we should keep our head in the south direction and our feet in the north direction. If that is not possible, the second-best alternative is to keep your head in the east direction and your feet in the West direction. If that is also not possible, you can keep your head towards the West but never sleep keeping your head towards the north direction.  

To understand the best bed direction as per Vastu in a bedroom, for our house, we should understand that there are 16 directions in our home as per Vastu Shastra. Each of these directions has its defined attributes, which determine what to be placed in these zones. Now, to analyze the bed position as per Vastu, you need to define these 16 directions in your house. To identify these 16 directions in your house, you need to do a proper gridding of your house map and divide it into 16 directions based on the degree of your home and the degrees of these directions. This is a little technical process, and many people go wrong in this step, and then the whole Vastu of the building gets disturbed. So, we recommend consulting a Vastu expert for this step.

Now that we have understood where these 16 zones are located in our house, we may proceed to know the best bedroom or bed direction as per Vastu among these directions.

Bed Direction as per Vastu: Cardinal Directions

A bedroom in all four Cardinal directions, that are North, South, East, and West, is considered very good, according to Vastu Shastra. These all are very auspicious bed directions, as per Vastu.

A bedroom in the North direction can bring you new opportunities and make you grow in your career. It is considered the direction of the ‘God of Wealth’ (Kuber), and a bedroom here can give you a good amount of wealth. It is a good bedroom for young people looking for career opportunities and growth. In a bedroom of the North direction, the bed should not face the North direction because it is not advised to keep your head towards the North direction.

If East is the bed direction, as per Vastu, it is a good placement for a bedroom as it is the direction of administration, networking, and social connections. Best for students and people in the field of research.

If West is the bed direction, as per Vastu, it is a good placement, as West is the direction of accomplishment, gains, and profitability. It is a good direction for businessmen. The kid’s bedroom can also be constructed here. 

If South is the bed direction, as per Vastu, it is a good placement, as South is the direction of name and fame. It is a good bed placement if you aspire to get fame and recognition.

Bed Direction as per Vastu: Sub-cardinal Directions

Among the sub-cardinal directions, which are Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest, a master bedroom in the Southwest direction of the house is considered the best, as per Vastu Shastra. If the head of the family resides in the master bedroom made in the Southwest direction, it creates stability and improves the skillset and relations of the people living in that room. Good direction for a couple’s bedroom if they are master of the house.

A bedroom in the Northeast direction is strictly not advisable. It can lead to various problems for the people living in it. If it’s a young couple’s room it can lead to divorce, problems in conceiving, and can give anxiety. This bedroom is not suitable for girls also.

A bedroom in the Southeast direction is also not advisable.

A guest bedroom is generally advisable in the Northwest direction. 

Bed Direction as per Vastu: Other Directions

Among the directions we saw in the chart above we have talked about cardinal and sub-cardinal directions. Now we will talk about the remaining directions.

A bedroom in the North of Northwest (NNW) direction is the best for a newlywed couple. It promotes love, bonding, and intimacy. Chances of conceiving in the couple also increase in this direction.

North of Northeast (NNE) is not an advisable bedroom direction as per Vastu. However, if there are space constraints an elderly couple’s bedroom can be placed here.

A bedroom works fine in the East of Northeast (ENE) and South of Southeast (SSE) as per Vastu Shastra.

Bed direction in West of Southwest (WSW) is very helpful for students and helps boost the savings of the people living here. 

There are three directions in which bed direction as per Vastu Shastra is strictly prohibited. These directions are East of Southeast (ESE), South of Southwest (SSW), and West of Northwest (WNW). If a bedroom or bed is placed in these three directions it can lead to unsuccess, overthinking, anxiety, or even depression. If a couple’s bedroom is placed here it can lead to disturbance in their married life. 

So, this was the overall analysis of bedrooms or bed positions in different directions as per Vastu Shastra.
