If I kneel down in front of my bed to pray, does this mean I am worshiping my bed?

Depends who is in the bed and what you are praying for.

Depends... Are you asking your bed to intercede on your behalf? Do you consider your bed to be the "co-redeemer?"

As far as abuse of relics is concerned... Consider what happened when the Israelites began venerating the golden snake on the staff (those who were snake bitten were to look at it) and the ephod. If something distracts from giving God due worship and focus, it is a stumbling block and should be avoided.
