Millbrook Beds
Millbrook craftsmanship is widely acknowledged as being of the very highest standards and examples of their skill can be seen and admired in the Houses of Parliament, embassies around the world and in elegant private homes throughout Britain, Europe and the United States.
Closely examine any products manufactured by Millbrook Beds and you will immediately see that throughout the years both material and workmanship have remained as high as ever.
Millbrook remains very much a family firm and many of the skilled Millbrook mattress and Millbrook divan bed makers and seamstresses have followed their parents or grandparents into the company.
To everyone at the company, 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 of their beds and finish of each Millbrook product.

Sealy Beds
The best-known of all bed manufacturers, Sealy is the world's biggest bed manufacturer and renowned the world over for quality and the utilisation of the latest technology.  For more than 125 years the name Sealy has been synonymous with sleep after a cotton gin builder called Daniel Haynes from Sealy (Just outside Houston) in Texas began making cotton-filled mattresses for his friends and neighbours in 1881.
Haynes went on to invent a machine that compressed cotton for use in mattresses which he patented in 1889.  The "Mattress from Sealy" was born and became so popular that Haynes sold patent rights to people in other markets.  In 1906 Haynes sold all of his patents and knowledge to a Texas company that took the name "Sealy" and the brand rose to national prominence in the US under the promotion of advertising executive Earl Edwards.
Edwards ensured the name was registered and developed a trademark behind the slogan "Sleeping on a Sealy is like sleeping on a cloud."  Edwards' next idea ensured its long term success and evolution as he followed Coca-Cola's lead by establishing a licensing program and by 1920, Sealy had 28 licensed plants.
Today, Sealy is the largest bedding manufacturer in the world, manufacturing a wide range of mattresses and divans.  Sealy is dedicated to making the world's favourite beds which means consistently making the world's most advanced sleeping systems. That's why they use the most sophisticated bed testing facilities in the world and invest more in research and development than any other bed manufacturer.
This on-going commitment to research and development has resulted in Sealy winning various industry awards for quality, innovation and overall manufacturing excellence.
