When space is tight, placing your bed over a vent might be your only option.

Here’s what to consider before arranging your room.

Can You Put a Bed Over a Floor Vent?

Restricting the airflow from a floor vent can make a room feel less comfortable.

In some cases, blocking the airflow can also lead to premature wear on the HVAC system.

Given the potential problems, avoid putting a bed over a floor vent.

This will minimize airflow restriction, allowing the vent to function as close to normal as possible.

Otherwise, consider an alternative solution to address this problem, such as installing a vent extender.

Larger vents require more space for adequate airflow, making it more challenging to position furniture around the room.

These vents should not be blocked or restricted in any way.
