    Blocking Heat Return Vents
    Hopefully someone can help me here! The heating returns are in the floor in each room in our home. In my daughter's room, I need to either put her bed up against a vent or put a video stand which is open, there. I plan on putting either one at least one foot from the wall.

    Will this block the heat from coming into the room? I say it will rise up and still come through but I am in a discussion about this with my boyfriend and he insists that "nothing" can be close to the vent at all.

    Confused Susie:confused:

    It will block the heat from heating the room as good as it should. In the winter if I have to I put the headboard against the wall and have the rest basically in the middle of the room rather than having the side against the wall.
