(יא) בין מזרח וכו' - רק יכוין שיהא ראשה של המטה לצפון ומרגלותיה לדרום .ובתשובת מנחם עזריה פסק כמו שכתב הזוהר פרשה במדבר שיהא ראשה ומרגלותיה של המטה זה למזרח וזה למערב והסכים שם שיהא הראש למערב וכ"כ בארצות החיים בשם כמה אחרונים ומ"מ טוב יותר לכתחילה לנהוג כהשו"ע כי בתשובת בנין של שמחה כתב בשם הגר"א שאמר שגם כוונת הזוהר הוא כהגמרא ולא כפירוש הרמ"ע הנ"ל

English Translation

From east etc. - Rather, one should arrange it that the head of the bed is facing north and its foot is to the south. In the responsa of Menachem Azariah he ruled according to what The Zohar wrote in Parshah Bamidbar that the head and foot of the bed should be facing to the east and west, but he concluded there that the head should be to the west, and so it is written in the Artzot Hachaim in the name of some Acharonim. Nevertheless, it is better to accustom oneself at the outset according to the Shulchan Aruch, because in the responsa of Binyan Shel Simcha, he wrote in the name of the Gr''a who said that the intention of The Zohar is also in accordance with the Gemara and not according to the interpretation of Rabbi Menachem Azariah above.
