My Very Own Bed

The Power of a New Bed & a Bedtime Routine!

Help Us Transform 1,900 Kids’ Nights This Year

Imagine a child, exhausted but unable to rest, drifting off on a couch, the floor, or a crowded bed. It’s hard to build a sleep routine when you don’t have a bed of your own.

For more than 10 years, My Very Own Bed has been providing new beds and personalized Dream Kits (new bedding, book, and stuffed animal) so kids in the Twin Cities have a safe, comfortable place to sleep. And we don’t stop there. We also introduce families to simple nightly steps that help kids wind down and use their new bed for consistent, healthy sleep.

Why Beds & Sleep Routines Matter

• Better school days: Well-rested kids focus, remember, and learn more.
• Healthier bodies & minds: Sleep strengthens immunity, supports growth, and stabilizes mood.
• Ownership & confidence: A bed of their own paired with a predictable routine builds security and positive behavior.

“My five-year-old makes his own bed. I was shocked. He cleans his room. He is normally all over the place but now he has ownership and a change of attitude. Coming from the shelter and sleeping on the floor to this—it gives the kids some dignity and some security and something of their own.” — Parent
