How close to a radiator can you put a bed?
 

We've put the radiator under the window in a small double room but have
now decided that the only way to put a double bed in the room will mean
that the head of the bed is right alongside the radiator. I guess I
could move it a foot but it would then not be centred under the window
and would look odd!
I suppose I could put a radiator cover over it?
Any thoughts?

not a good idea for following reason

bad headaches when you wake up if radiator is on while sleeping
Poor airculation thus poor energy efficiency

on the up side you do get a warm pillow!

can you move the radiator

Are you concerned that the bed will prevent the radiator from doing its job,
or that the heat from the radiator may damage the bed and/or its occupants?

No problem. Rememeber that the vast majority of a radiator's heat comes out
as convection straight up. If you don't block the airflow up and don't block
the cold air at the bottom, a radiator will work just fine even if blocked
in front.

If it is a child's room, consider fitting a low surface temp rad, or a
radiator cover (which is much the same thing, but less efficient).

There are good and bad radiator covers. A good one over an ordinary radiator
will not be less efficient than an LST radiator. The ones made by Norscreen
are excellent.

As a child, my bed was side up against a long rad for about 10 years (window
above it) and it did nothing other than make me nice and warm on a winter's
morning! My head was above it mind you, but I still wouldn't think it would
make too much difference. Fit a stop in the carpet if need be to keep the
bed from pushing right back against it. A 2-5cm gap will make a fair bit of
difference to the amount of heat transferred into the bed material compared
to it being in contact. Kinda all depends on how hot you let your water get
though ...

Depends on the radiator. I'd not want to sleep next to a radiator.
