Some designs simply grow with you, and the Millie Bed has always been one of them. With its soft pillow-like headboard, feather-wrapped comfort, and timeless solid timber frame, Millie has become a mubu favourite for years. Now, she’s even more practical, thanks to a thoughtful update: a removable, washable headboard cover.

Why We Love the Millie

The Millie was designed to bring together two things we hold close at mubu: craftsmanship and comfort. The frame, made from solid American White Oak, features gently rounded corners that interlock in a way that feels almost like a puzzle: simple, clever, and beautiful. It’s a detail you might not notice at first glance, but once you see it, it’s unforgettable.

Then there’s the headboard. Wrapped in feathers for softness, it feels like leaning into a pillow at the end of the day, the perfect place to unwind with a book or simply rest.

A Small Update, A Big Difference

We’ve always believed in “buy once, buy well.” That’s why our new update feels so special: Millie now comes with a washable cover on the headboard. Life at home can be beautifully lived-in with kids, pets, cups of tea in bed, or simply the ebb and flow of everyday life. Having a cover you can easily remove, wash, and reattach with a simple Velcro fastening makes the Millie not only stunning, but also wonderfully practical.

It’s these little details, thoughtful, simple, and useful that make your furniture work harder for you without ever losing its beauty.

How to Care for Your Millie’s Washable Cover

• Remove easily: Thanks to the discreet Velcro fastening, the cover can be taken off without fuss.
  

• Machine wash: We recommend a gentle cycle with cold water to keep the fabric looking its best. Please follow the instructions provided with your choice of fabric. 
  

• Air dry: Let it dry naturally for longevity, no tumble dryers, please.
  

• Reattach smoothly: The Velcro makes it quick and easy to put the cover back on so Millie is ready for another season of comfort
  

Make it YOURS

Like all of our designs, the Millie is made-to-order, with love, in our Melbourne workshop. You can choose from a range of fabrics and timbers to create a bed that feels truly yours. Whether you lean toward the warmth of Walnut, the lightness of Oak, or prefer a different fabric colour, we’re always happy to help customise your Millie.

Because at mubu, we believe your furniture should last beyond trends and grow with your life.

The Millie Bed is now softer, smarter, and easier to care for.
