- Practical & Polished: The fabric genuinely resists creasing, saving a lot of time.
- Check Your Base: Best for standard divans; extra-deep bases may not be fully covered.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill B&B in Bakewell, Peak District, needed a simple way to update their guest rooms for the new season, wanting to replace a collection of old, mismatched valances with something smart and uniform.
"We wanted a sharp, consistent look across all our rooms without breaking the bank. These valances were perfect. The green is lovely and fresh, and they wash like a dream, which is a huge bonus for our busy team."
David Campbell – Owner
The result was a refreshed look for all 8 guest rooms, achieved in a single afternoon, which led to positive guest comments on the 'updated and stylish decor' almost immediately.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For best results, give the valance a quick wash before first use to soften the fabric.
- Simply lift the mattress off your divan base.
- Drape the valance over the base, making sure the kick pleats align neatly with the corners.
- Place the mattress back on top, which will hold the valance securely in place.
Keeping It Going
- Always wash at 60°C for effective thermal disinfection, ideal for a hospitality setting.
- Tumble dry on a low to medium heat setting to protect the fabric's integrity.
- Remove promptly from the dryer as soon as the cycle finishes to minimise creasing.
- For a perfectly crisp finish, a quick iron on a warm setting is all that's needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a fitted sheet or a base valance?
A: This is a traditional base valance. It’s a sheet with a skirt that sits flat between your mattress and the divan base to cover the sides.
Q: Will the 35cm drop fit my bed?
A: The 35cm (13.7 inch) drop is designed to fit most standard UK divan bases perfectly. We always recommend measuring from the top of your base to the floor just to be sure.
Q: Does the green colour fade after washing?
A: The 50/50 polycotton blend used by Mitre Essentials is chosen for its excellent colour fastness, meaning it's designed to stay vibrant even with frequent 60°C washes.
Q: Is this material fire retardant?
A: This product conforms to BS EN ISO 12952, meeting the source 0 ignition standard, which is suitable for most domestic and many commercial environments.
Q: Do I really need to iron this valance?
A: It is designed to be low-crease. For a pristine, hotel-perfect look, a light iron is best. However, removing it promptly from the dryer will significantly reduce wrinkling.
Q: Can I get this Mitre Essentials double valance in other sizes?
A: Absolutely. The Mitre Essentials Spectrum range includes this valance in Single, Double, King, and Super King sizes to fit your entire property.
Q: What exactly is a 'kick pleat'?
A: A kick pleat is a smart, inverted pleat at each corner and halfway along the sides. It allows the fabric to hang straight and flat, giving it a neat, tailored, and modern look compared to a gathered frill.
Q: Is the material thin or see-through?
A: Not at all. The fabric is a commercial-grade weight, designed to be fully opaque to effectively hide the bed base and anything stored underneath.

Ever wondered why so much commercial linen is a polycotton blend? It’s all about getting the best of both worlds. Think of it like this: 100% cotton is wonderfully soft but can be high-maintenance – it's prone to shrinking, creasing, and takes ages to dry. On the other hand, 100% polyester is tough as nails but can lack that premium, soft feel guests expect.
This 50/50 polycotton blend is the perfect compromise for a professional setting. The cotton element provides the softness and breathability needed for comfort, while the polyester brings strength, colour retention, and wrinkle resistance to the party. This means your green double bed valance from Mitre Essentials will look newer for longer, survive high-temperature 60°C washes without a fuss, and need far less ironing than a pure cotton equivalent. For a busy B&B or hotel, that's a massive saving in time, effort, and long-term cost.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Guesthouses: Perfect for giving your double rooms a uniform, clean, and professional appearance that impresses guests.
- Bed & Breakfasts: An easy and affordable way to refresh tired-looking divan bases and elevate your room's decor.
- Serviced Apartments: Ideal for creating a smart, homely feel while ensuring linens are durable enough for frequent laundering.
- Halls of Residence: A robust, easy-care solution for outfitting rooms that need to withstand heavy use and regular cleaning.
