Default Bedroom with too limited space: Where to put my subwoofer?

Here's a basic diagram of my bedroom:


--------------------------------------\
| speaker |----------------|
| |-----| PC| computer desk|
| | | ------------------ \
| TV stand chair |
| |____| |
| speaker |
| ____________________ |
| Bed | |
| | desk |
| ____________________| |
|
| night table dresser cabinet
-----------------------------------------

I have a Yamaha SW012 subwoofer lying around that I want to use but I can't find a good spot to put it. My Polk M10 bookshelf speakers are in the way, unless I move my bed and night table closer to the side wall where the dresser cabinet is against, making it very narrow walk space between my dresser cabinet and bed. The only way I find that I can use my subwoofer without making my room look funny is by using my Yamaha satellite speakers that I still have lying around that came with the subwoofer. Then it looks better in my opinion and more compact although the mid bass I find sounds muddy in my opinion and sometimes deeps voices sound too deep (crossover on the AVR was set at 100Hz). In fact, I prefer the overall sound of my bookshelf speakers without a subwoofer vs the satellite speakers with a subwoofer. However, I'd like to integrate the subwoofer into my sound system with my bookshelf speakers to have the best of both worlds. Can anyone here give some suggestion of where I can put my subwoofer?

Also if I decided to get a Sony CT-150 soundbar, would I still have the same problem with certain male voices being unaturally deep?

If the room is limited to where you can put it then I would experiment by putting it in different locations to see where it sounds best.

Make a DIY riser wherever you end up, it will cost about 50$ and improve the sound so as not to be boomy.

I can't understand that diagram, can you make a ms paint sketch instead? Without understanding, how is the foot of the bed for location?

I didn't mean to make the diagram that way. Posting my thread somehow automatically messed up my diagram a little.

Wrap your diagram in CODE tags, to the right of the Spoiler icon, and the forum software shouldn't delete the extra white spaces.

Put the sub-woofer where you sit and then crawl around your room and wherever the bass sounds the best place the sub-woofer there.
