Finding a kids’ beds retailer is an ongoing challenge for a lot of parents. Most bedding companies focus on the adult market, with children’s furniture being a side consideration. Because of this, you often wind up on websites with thousands of unsuitable beds that won’t fit in kids’ bedrooms.
Millie and Jones is the self-proclaimed antidote to that problem. The online retailer is one of the most focused in the industry, catering to parents with children of all ages.
Because of this concentration, it is one of the most interesting options for parents in the space. Now it’s possible to browse countless bedding solutions, often designed with parents in mind.
But is the service and product quality actually any good? That’s what you’re about to find out. We look through some of the pros and cons of Millie and Jones before deciding whether we recommend buying from the brand in the final verdict section at the end.
What We Loved About Millie and Jones
Kicking off, what did we love about Millie and Jones’ beds, and why might we recommend them?
Space-Saving Solutions
One of the big reasons we liked Millie and Jones’ bedding was the smart storage and space solutions the brand offers. Every product, it seems, has something to offer.
This is handy because it means that parents can basically find a solution for whatever space they have available. Even though some people might be short on room in kids’ bedrooms, Millie and Jones have products that find a way to make the most of it.
It’s this attention to detail which really switched us on to the brand in the first place. The service just slots into your home life, wherever it happens to be.
Highly-Rated
Another thing we liked (and something that confirms our personal opinions) is the high review scores and ratings online. It seems that we’re not the only people enamored by what Millie and Jones has managed to do, despite being a boutique outlet.
For instance, the brand now has an “excellent” rating on TrustPilot, which is challenging to achieve. This rating means that customers believe it is at the top of its industry and one of the best places to go to get kids’ beds. It also has favourable reviews across other platforms, which is another sign that it’s worth checking out and taking seriously.
Green Credentials
On top of this, Millie and Jones offer some green credentials, so you don’t have to worry as much about harming the environment when you buy from them. This factor was really important to us when creating this review as it shows how much the brand cares.
What happens is this: when you buy a bed product from Millie and Jones, the brand will go out and plant five trees to offset the impact. So far, it’s managed to plant an impressive 8,000, which is wild considering it is a boutique.
You can also ask the company about its other activities to protect the environment and it will be happy to discuss them. That’s what we did, just to find out what it was doing and how it was serving local communities.
Build On Family Values
When you use Millie and Jones, you’ll also discover that it’s built around real family values. The owners do everything to make life better for parents, and it seeps through into every part of the service.
Part of this has to do with the fact that Millie and Jones Ltd is the brainchild of a husband and wife team. The pair works together to think about what parents like them would want from their online bed retailer, and then implement it. This means that they are able to step fully into the shoes of the people they serve.
Kids And Teen Bed Specialists
Finally, we really liked the fact that Millie and Jones focuses on kids and teen beds exclusively (which is something we hinted at in the introduction). This clear choice of target market means that the brand doesn’t offer any generic furniture at all. Instead, it designs and builds everything it sells around the needs of kids and teens, and what they want from their bedroom spaces.
We noticed the effort as soon as we got hold of a bed ourselves. Each detail was built around ensuring that it was ready and set up for the needs of children, whether toddlers or teenagers.
What We Didn’t Love About Millie And Jones
No company is perfect though, and the same is true of Millie and Jones. We do have some criticisms of the service, although they are minor.
One problem we noticed was issues related to the smell of some frame materials. These can be strong at first, but reduce later on as the product settles. As such, you may need to air your child’s room for a few days until the outgassing stops.
Another issue had to do with minor delivery delays. Millie and Jones is a smaller operation compared to many retailers so it is possible that it will experience some glitches while trying to send goods. This didn’t happen to us, but it is possible that it might affect some people using the service.
Finally, we would have liked to see the products in service before buying. Most retailers have networks of showrooms that let customers actually touch and feel bedding instead of just looking at it through a screen. The ability to interact with a bed makes it more likely to achieve a proper product fit.
Rating And Concluding Remarks
So, what’s our final verdict on Millie and Jones as a bed brand? We were impressed for several reasons, but mainly because of the product-market fit. There are so many families looking for a brand that just makes beds for them, and that’s why Millie and Jones is so exciting. All its effort goes into ensuring parents are happy and nothing else beside that.
