Millbrook Beds was opened in 1946 by Walter Croll as an upholstery and bedding workshop. The workshop was opened within the Millbrook area of Southampton, hence the naming of the company.
What separates Millbrook Beds from many other manufacturers is that the quality and materials, along with the workmanship have all remained as high as ever since opening. I’ve had a quick feel of a couple of Millbrook models in person and the covers felt properly premium under my hand, not that thin, papery stuff you sometimes get. The mattresses and divan beds are all hand crafted to exact specifications.
Millbrook is a company that has family at the heart of it, with generations of family members working in different areas of the company. The reputation and excellence of manufacturing are a continuing source of personal pride for the members of the Millbrook team. That said, with a lot of their range leaning into natural fillings and deeper builds, they can sleep a touch warmer and they’re not the easiest to rotate if you’re on your own.
