I don't know if it will help your breathing to have onions by the bed or not. But I suspect it will keep your partner at bay.
Try a little vicks in a dish of hot water which you then put near the bed. If a really bad cold i will put vicks on the chest. That helps us when we have a cold.
Feel better soon

No, but my mom used to mash an onion and put sugar on it and eat it on toast before bed when she had a cold!

I would invest in a vaporizer instead.
There are many small night-light type ones now with menthol in them. Vicks makes one. You just plug it in when you need it.
Or, you can go bigger and get one that you fill with water. They have a spot on top that you can fill with Vicks. Your room will fill with steam and it will help open up your nasal passages.
Or, you can also just rub your chest, neck, back and just under your nose with Vicks. They have it in a cream now so it's not all sticky and gross.

It might help is your mate's hogging the covers but otherwise that pretty much sounds like some old wives tale

Just put a little Vaporub right under your nostrils.
