Question

Is there any significance today in the direction of the bed in the bedroom for a couple to be specifically from north to south, and should the beds always be like this (or only during marital relations)?

Answer

Hello 

Ideally, the beds in the bedroom should be oriented this way at all times during sleep. However, if this is not possible, care should be taken at least during marital relations.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 3, Se'if 6

In the Mishnah Berurah, it is written in the name of Artzot HaChaim that the stringency applies only when lying naked and without partitions around the bed.
