You can't analyze the response of a small room with and RTA. If you must do measurement, you need to do sweept sine or MLS response curves with 1/10th octive resolution or better.

Then, you'll probably want to measure reverberation and generate some waterfall plots.

And you'll need to do this for several listening positions and speaker placement options (maybe move the bed a few feet and try again).

Or, take some good advice and start by building a half dozen bass traps and see if it helps.
