I had wondered about this.  I saw the movie twice.  The second time I noticed
that the bed was "repositioned" in this scene.  I thought it was strange but
wasn't observant enough (probably the tears) to realize it was a mirror image.
I had asked a friend about it and she thought I was crazy.  Thanks for letting
me know I'm not.
