Help settle a discussion between me and my wife: what side is the front of the bed? - tchncs

This has been a sometimes fun, but most often infuriating discussion between my wife and I, as well as other family members and friends whenever we bring it up: which side of the bed is the front? Is it the foot end? The side where the heads are? Or are you a rebel and is it the side you get out of bed at?

I think there's two definitions, in priority order:

  • the most accessible side that you're most likely to get in on, the side that's facing you, or
  • if there's no walls and the bed is in the middle of a ballroom or floating in space, the head of the bed.
