Whether you have a bed to yourself or co-sleep, no-one likes to feel confined to a small space or at risk of falling out of bed at night. Sleep disturbance is the enemy of quality sleep, which is why making the most of every last centimetre of sleeping space is really important. But how can...
The clocks have changed and it’s really beginning to feel as though Spring is sprung. Not least of all there’s a sense that the lighter mornings really can equate to brighter mornings, enabling us to begin our days feeling more positive and energised. Light plays an instructive role in our circadian rhythm. Impacting everything from...
People are getting better and better at feeling when the time’s right to change their mattress. The general advice is that you should change your mattress every 10 years, but often people don’t need to set a date in their calendar to know when their mattress isn’t giving them everything they need any more in...
The warmth of Spring is tantalisingly near and - after this winter especially - we’ve never been more in the mood to refresh our homes.

Remember the excitement of a pick-n-mix? We do. Carefully picking and mixing our perfect selection of penny sweets was almost a bigger treat than the sweets themselves. We chose to put in as few cola bottles or as many as we’d like, we filled 99% of the bag with foam shrimps or had one of...
At Millbrook Beds we think the best way to create naturally beautiful beds is not only to use naturally beautiful fillings, but also to spend time really getting to know what it is about the natural fabrics and fillings we use that makes them so unique.
