Yes, in Feng Shui, this is not ideal.

A `coffin' position is where one's leg face the bedroom door.

One remedy, although not ideal is to use e.g. a 4 drawer linen cabinet (as a shield).

I believe, this is the `coffin position'. Not auspicious.

Perhaps, take a look at the attachment to see if it looks like this. If it is, this is the `coffin' position.

If you have a sketch, it would help. As a picture can tell at one glance and the relationship and depth of the room to the door etc..
