Why can't you sleep in a bed where someone has died?

After a person dies, many of the items left behind will be disposed of by their children. However, some things, such as large pieces of furniture, such as beds, generally cannot be thrown away or burned and will remain in their original locations.

Why can't you sleep in a bed where someone has died?

1. Relics are precious and sacred

Many people attach importance to the protection of relics, because relics are the emotional bond between the living and the dead, and are very precious and sacred in the eyes of the living. The living often put away large items such as beds and cabinets used by the deceased, allowing them to condense their respect for the deceased and preserve their own thoughts and memories. They will definitely not sleep on the deceased's bed casually.
2. Dreaming. If your loved one has just passed away not long ago, and if you sleep in the same bed where he/she died, the possibility of having dreams is very high. Although it is not scary, dreaming about it frequently will affect your sleep and make you feel bad the next day. This is most likely caused by psychological reasons. It is psychologically difficult to accept that a loved one has passed away.

2. Prevent viruses and bacteria from invading you

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural laws of life. When a person is dying, his physical condition is very poor because his body has been invaded by certain viruses or bacteria and the situation has reached a point where it is difficult to reverse. These viruses or bacteria will be contaminated on items used by the deceased during his or her lifetime, especially personal items such as clothes, shoes, socks, and bedding. Therefore, relatives burn these items at the deceased's grave or burn them together at the crematorium to prevent being infected with the disease. Although a bed is not a personal item, a bed used by the deceased will more or less carry some viruses or bacteria, and most people would be concerned about letting the living sleep on it.

Should the bed be thrown away after an elderly person dies?

If the bed that the elderly have slept in is still usable, it should not be thrown away casually but used reasonably;

The custom of throwing away things when an elderly person passes away seems to be deeply rooted. When we see a family throwing out beds, clothes, quilts and other messy things one day, we will most likely guess that an elderly person has passed away. In fact, if the bed that the elderly have slept on is relatively new, it can be continued to be used, and there is no need to throw it away; perhaps you are worried that the elderly will come back to look for your things, but the elderly are your relatives, so are you still afraid of your relatives? And from a scientific point of view, once the elderly leave, they can never go back, and they will not look for their own bed.
