glyn Posted July 3, 1999 Share Posted July 3, 1999 Hi ShelleyBunk beds are not considered the ideal way for people to sleep. Subconsciously, the person at the top feels they will fall and the one at the bottom feels threatened by the top bunk - like sleeping under a beam which is not good.A restful sleep will not be gained.No doubt Cecil or Robert will clarify this for you.Glyn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 5, 1999 Staff Share Posted July 5, 1999 Dear Glyn, Thanks for your reply.Frankly, I have not come across or read anything regarding the use of bunk beds and its effects.This may not be an `issue' because from what I understand, the upper bunk bed is uniform and spreads evenly throught the lower bed unlike a beam which is `concentrated' and may put more `pressure' or sha qi on a particular portion of the body.As there is not much written documentation on bunk beds, in my personal opinion, I find it acceptable if you are short for space in a bedroom.As I mentioned, it is not similiar to a beam. This is because when a person sleeps above or on the top bunk, his weight is spread evenly.Secondly, there is no poision arrow aimed at the person sleeping at the lower bed.In my opinion, when I was young, I do recall sleeping at the lower bunk bed (my elder brother was above me). So far, erh... I don't recall any side effects:)If your children feel restful and have peaceful sleep most of the time on the bunk beds, then this is fine:)Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 7/3/99 8:33:22 AM, Anonymous wrote:Hi ShelleyBunk beds are not consideredthe ideal way for people tosleep.

glyn Posted July 5, 1999 Share Posted July 5, 1999 Hi CecilThis advice regarding bunk beds was given to me by a Feng Shui practitioner over here.As this person is consulted by our Chamber of Commerce and many other corporations I assumed the advice would hold some authenticity.I guess one has to be very very careful who one listens to regarding general FS advice.CheersGlyn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
