Stake Their Space

Is it a command, a demand, a skill set…or a store? It’s a store actually, and it’s called Make Your Bed (so you see the confusion). It’s new, so don’t worry if this is the first you’ve heard of it.

Make Your Bed is a Calgary kids’ furniture store, located in Deerfoot Meadows, carrying a range of kids’ bedroom furniture, including the full line of Maxtrix Kids beds, dressers and accessories.

Until recently, Maxtrix Kids was only available to purchase from the US with exorbitant shipping costs and duty attached. Still, many Canadian families bit the proverbial bullet for these solid birch pieces (even the drawers are dove-tailed) because of the wide range of fun add-ons like princess tents, slides and curtained-off dollhouse play areas. For the boys, think castles and pirates.

Furniture is available in three colours—white, brown and natural birch—and is designed to be the first and last bed you’ll ever buy for your children. A basic daybed starts at just under $500 and the floor models in store are climbable, rollable and jumpable (ok, maybe not). We love the idea of buying quality wood furniture (no off-gassing) that’s stylish and flexible enough to last from the tot to teen years.

Store staff encourages families to bring children in for a test run so they can ensure Mom and Dad are investing in the best piece. With that said, all furniture purchases are returnable.

Make Your Bed carries a range of other products as well, including bedding by Serena and Lily, bright and funky options from Olive Kids and Freckles and classic bedding from JoJo Designs.

Compliment your child’s impeccable taste in furniture and bedding with wall art from Mary Jack Studios as well as wooden letters, hangers, growth charts, Twelve Timbers and wall words from Alberta’s own Inspirations Wall Art.

A store highlight is the customizable hockey locker wall image complete with your child’s name and jersey number from Oopsy Daisy. In fact, expect to find a wide assortment of boys’ room décor at Make Your Bed as owner Karen Sabatier is the mom of two.

Grand opening celebrations will take place later this spring but as of now, Make Your Bed is open for business.

Give your crib graduates a funky space to hang their hat (and store their stuff) until they are ready for bigger digs all their own. (It will come sooner than we think. We hope. Sort of.)
