r/bedrooms

My partner and I repainted our room and replaced a bunch of old furniture. Our old mattress is kinda ruining the vibe because even with the sheets on, the dip in the middle is pretty obvious. So my partner and I agreed to upgrade our mattress as well. I’m looking for hybrid ones since they say it sleeps bit more cooler than an all foam one. We only have a portable AC which doesn’t really do much especially in summer so we’d like to have a mattress that doesn’t contribute more to sleeping hot. Do you have some good suggestions? I like the Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid but it’s not 100% fixed on it yet. I’m still exploring and open to any other brands etc.

I’ve been feeling tired and out of it and I’m starting to wonder if there’s something off with my bedroom layout. My friends say that to try feng shui because it can affect sleep and mood. I didn’t think much of it before but now I’m curious.

My room is small with one window, one door, and a built-in closet that takes up half a wall. My bed is on the same wall as the door right now. People say that’s bad feng shui because you can’t see who’s coming in and it can make you feel unsafe. I could move my bed to the wall with the window but when I tried that before, I froze all winter. And my cat kept stepping on me at night to get to the window.

The wall across from the door would be ideal but if I move the bed there, my dresser won’t fit. Yeah I could get a smaller one but I’ll also lose storage.

Now I’m stuck between two options: keep my bed where it is on the same wall as the door OR move it under the window and deal with the cold and my cat again.

If it were you, would you rather have your bed under the window or on the same wall as the door? Which one is the less bad choice? I’m not trying to follow feng shui perfectly. I just want to relax in my room and sleep better without waking up three times a night.

I’m looking for help to control the temperature in my room. I live in a three bedroom apartment with central air. Recently, I am getting very sweaty in the middle of the night despite the temperature being set to 70 degrees. Even when I sleep with no shirt and only using a top sheet and the fan I have isn’t enough. For privacy purposes I sleep with the door closed (and understand that that’s part of the problem) but am wondering what I can get to offset that. Some restrictions – I can’t use a window A/C or a portable A/C with a window hose. I would prefer not to use an A/C with ice packs but if that’s my only real option that would be good to know.
