6 NUMBER 10 DOWNING STREET, LONDON In 1946 when Walter Croll opened his small upholstery and bedding workshop in the Millbrook area of Southampton, majestic ships from such famous lines as Cunard, P & O and Union Castle daily sailed into Southampton Water. The superb interiors of these vessels, which had made Britain s passenger fleet a byword for luxury and elegance, demanded the highest standard of workmanship. The craftsmanship of Walter Croll s workshop soon began to win it a growing number of orders from discerning customers, and when the Union Castle Line awarded Millbrook a contract to refurnish and carpet their entire fleet, the success of the young Company was assured. GROWING SUCCESS Year by year the Company has continued to grow and prosper, using the skills employed on the luxury liners to create an evergrowing range of luxurious, highquality furniture and achieving an enviable reputation - both in finest retail stores and among a widening circle of discerning contract customers. Today, Millbrook craftsmanship in both bedding and upholstery is acknowledged as being of the very highest order and examples of their skill can be seen and admired in both Houses of Parliament, in Embassies around the world and in elegant private homes throughout Britain, Europe and the United States. In addition, millions of people have unknowingly seen Millbrook craftsmanship on their television on programmes produced by TVS such as the Ruth Rendell mysteries. Amongst their many diverse skills Millbrook has restored antiques on display in such diverse places as Sterling Castle and Osborne House, created an artificial Aladdin s Cave for a Middle Eastern Sheikh and more recently completed major work in Downing Street.

7 HAND AND EYE Closely examine any piece of Millbrook Bedding and you will immediately see that throughout the years both material and workmanship have remained as high as ever. Our mattresses and divans are meticulously hand-crafted to enhance their individual character. The finest materials are used to ensure the greatest comfort and traditional handfinishing helps extend the life of the bed. Overall, a rightness of design, avoiding both the fussy or whimsically fashionable, and yet offering the highest standards in visual appeal makes each Millbrook bed a classic to treasure and enjoy for many years. A MATTER OF PRIDE Millbrook is very much a family firm. Many of the skilled mattress and divan makers and seamstresses have followed their parents or grandparents into the company. To everyone, the excellence and high reputation of Millbrook is a matter of quiet personal pride and it is perhaps this more than any other factor that results in the supreme quality and finish of each piece of Millbrook furniture. Examples of our skill can be seen and admired in the Houses of Parliament, Embassies, Downing Street, Scottish Parliament building, the new Wembley Stadium and around the world in elegant private homes throughout Britain, Europe and the United States. Today For over forty years Millbrook has restored the leather furniture for the Houses of Parliament

11 Traditional sleep Natural sleep Millbrook beds are traditionally upholstered using only the finest natural fillings. By using natural fillings such as British wool, silk, pashmina, cashmere and cotton in our mattresses, we create a mattress which is truly sumptuous and luxurious. With the return of good craftsmanship growing, the demand for true quality is becoming more popular. Your Millbrook bed should therefore be treasured as an investment, not only for its inherent quality, but also for the luxurious comfort you will enjoy - allowing you to awaken relaxed and refreshed. Millbrook Beds is dedicated to the traditional British ideals of quality and craftsmanship. From the hand-nesting of our individual pocketed springs, to our natural upholstery of sumptuous pashmina, soft silk and pure new lambs wool - every stage in the making of our beds must meet our exacting standards of timeless quality.

12 Safeguarding forests... All of Millbrook Beds divans are constructed using timber from FSC -certified forests. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world s forests. It was founded in 1993 in response to public concern about deforestation and demand for a trustworthy wood-labelling scheme. FSC has developed a system of forest certification and product labelling that allows consumers to identify wood and wood-based products from well-managed forests. Demand for forest products, such as timber and paper, continues to grow, putting increasing pressure on the world s forests. Wood is a renewable resource; when forests are well managed, with consideration for the environment, the wildlife and the people who live and work in them, harvesting timber can actually be an effective way of safeguarding the forests for future generations. Choosing products sourced from these well-managed forests and from recycled post-consumer waste allows businesses and consumers to support the world s forests. Forests support up to 1.6 billion of the poorest people in the world. Sixty million indigenous people and countless species of plants and animals are wholly dependent on forests for their lives.

13 EGYPTIAN UPHOLSTERED IN LUXURIOUS EGYPTIAN Millbrook Beds Grandeur Mattresses are all lovingly upholstered with the finest quality Egyptian Cotton allowing you to experience the ultimate in sleep luxury. The term Egyptian cotton is usually applied to the finest variety of the extra long fibre of cotton produced in Egypt because of the humid weather and rich soil around the Nile Delta. The long fibre of Egyptian-grown cotton means that there is more continuous fibre to use where creating threads or yarns. The yarn is smaller in diameter yet stronger than other cottons. Smaller yarn means that more threads per square inch can be used to create stronger fabric which is light in weight and breathes better. Cotton grown in the Egyptian fields will also produce less lint and therefore will not pill after repeated washings as some materials do. The benefits of Egyptian cotton are, Durability - Luxurious feel - Comfort - Cozy bed - Lush feel - Soft drape
