Pull the seat. The bed lays flat.
A low rolled-arm English sofa with T-cushion seats. The Milly, doing classic without doing dated.
The Milly is the most heritage shape in the sofa bed range. Low scrolled arms that roll outward in the English style, two attached back cushions, two T-cushion seats that extend forward past the arms in the traditional drawing-room proportion. Turned light wood legs at every corner. The whole sofa reads as a piece of country house furniture rather than something built to convert.
Inside is the Sedac Epona roll-out action, the same mechanism we use in the Emma, the family of actions we held UK distribution rights for from 1962 to 2020. Pull the seat forward, the back rolls down, the bed lays flat. Reverse it the same way. The sleeping surface is a proper folded mattress engineered for daily use, not occasional guest stays.
If you're choosing between Milly and Emma, this is the call. Emma is the contemporary square-armed silhouette, cleaner, more urban. Milly is the heritage roll-arm shape, softer, country house leaning. Same Sedac Epona mechanism inside, completely different read in the room.
This is the sofa bed for a snug, a study, a country cottage, a panelled drawing room. Anywhere a contemporary sofa would sit awkwardly and a fold-out futon would be unthinkable.
Crafted not assembled. Handmade to order in our British workshop. Solid hardwood frame. FSC-certified timbers. Sedac Epona action paired with our own upholstery and frame engineering. White glove delivery and assembly anywhere in mainland UK.
Guaranteed for 15 years. The whole sofa bed, mechanism and pocket sprung mattress included, not just the frame. Most sofa bed guarantees cover the frame for life, the one part that never breaks. Ours covers the parts that do the work.
Made your way. Choose from over 100 fabrics across velvets, linens, bouclés and weaves.
Want to see it first? Free swatches before you commit. The image shows a deep midnight velvet, but the same shape carries oxblood, racing green, espresso, oat linen.
Milly. Heritage English silhouette, Sedac Epona action, made in Britain.

Pocket springs. The right choice for guests a few times a year.
A memory layer over pocket springs, for a bed that gets slept in every week.
A latex layer over pocket springs. Springier underneath you and sleeps cooler than memory.

Questions people ask before ordering
Will it fit through my door and up my stairs?
Your sofa bed arrives fully assembled, so first check your narrowest doorway and stair turn against the overall depth and height in the size guide. If it will not go through, our drivers can take it apart: the arms and back come off and the seat and bed action separate, then they put it back together in your room. The largest part is then the seat, so the seat width and depth are the figures to check. If access is tight, email sales@thesleepco.com with a photo before you order.
How long does it take?
About 25 working days from order. With Fast Track Production it is delivered within 2 weeks, for mainland UK addresses.
What if the mattress is not right for us?
Every sofa bed is covered by our 90-Night Comfort Exchange.
Can I change my order?
Yes, within 24 hours of ordering. After that your fabric is cut and the build has started.
How do samples work?
Pick up to 8 fabrics from any range and order them before you commit. Use them in your own light.
Can I spread the cost?
