Check the Vastu rating for your bedroom's direction - and get recommendations for bed placement, sleeping direction and décor.
Sleep with your head pointing South or East - never North. North-sleeping disturbs the body's magnetic field and affects sleep quality and health.
Place the bed against the south or west wall. Keep at least 2–3 inches from the wall. Avoid placing the bed directly under a beam - causes stress and headaches.
Use soothing pastels - light pink, cream, peach, lavender. Avoid red (aggression) and black (negativity). Master bedroom: earthy tones for stability.
Avoid placing mirrors facing the bed - disturbs sleep and creates unrest. If unavoidable, cover the mirror with a cloth at night.
Vastu Shastra guidelines for the bedroom focus primarily on two aspects: the location of the bedroom within the house and the direction in which the head points while sleeping. According to Vastu principles, the master bedroom is best positioned in the south-west corner of the house, as this direction is associated with stability and longevity. The bedroom's position determines the quality of rest, health outcomes, and the relationship between the occupants, according to traditional Vastu texts like the Manasara and Mayamata.
Vastu recommends sleeping with the head pointing south or east. Sleeping with the head to the south is considered most beneficial for health and longevity, as the Earth's magnetic field runs from north to south, and aligning the body with this field is believed to promote restful sleep. The head pointing east is associated with spiritual growth and mental clarity. Head pointing north is traditionally discouraged, as the body's own magnetic field is said to be disrupted by the Earth's north pole, potentially causing sleep disorders and health issues over time.
