Question
What should be the arrangement of the beds, and what is the ruling regarding other beds in the house?
Answer
Ideally, the beds should be arranged from north to south, with the head towards the north and the feet towards the south. If this is not possible, at least during the performance of the mitzvah, they should lie in this order. As for other beds in the house where people sleep in privacy, there is no need to be strict. If it is diagonal, there is no issue from any direction, as the main concern is that it should not be from east to west.
