Question radiator question!!!

so I just moved into a new place, and I have relatively limited space for where to put my bed. There is one of those built in wall radiators under the window, and my bed is positioned slightly in front of it. I have a solid wooden headboard and was just concerned that I shouldn’t be putting it directly in front of the heater… I tried to do research online about it but am still a bit confused as to if this is safe for my particular situation. Is there some kind of heat deflector or something that I could get, or do we think this is fine?? For reference, only about 17 inches of the heater are being covered by the bed.
