After a month off testing beds, I’ve decided to dive straight back into work. I wandered out into our warehouse yesterday (Monday is Millbrook delivery day here at Bedstar) and grabbed a brand spanking new Millbrook Paris Divan bed. I won’t be getting it delivered home for the next couple of days but that hasn’t stopped me reviewing its finer features.
The Paris divan set is a non-turn mattress, so all that needs to be done is to rotate the mattress. This is definitely a plus. It’s 2009 and we have more important things to remember than turning a mattress!
The Millbrook Paris divan offers the best night’s sleep ever experienced (according to Millbrook. I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve actually slept on it).
With 1700 individually hand nested pocket springs (king size) and a contemporary cream fabric, a valance is optional allowing easy access to the storage drawers (this is very clever. Admit it; every time you open a drawer in a divan bed the valance gets stuck).
Lambswool layers are used in the construction for breathable, natural fillings, also aired by smart chrome ventilator’s. Personally this means nothing to me, but there’s something about lying on this bed that immediately tells you you’re in the presence of a very well-crafted piece of furniture.
