It’s often the small details that elevate a room from ‘fine’ to ‘fantastic’. This valance from Mitre does just that.

- Practical Elegance: The tailored pleats give a much smarter look than traditional frilled valances.
- Fit Check: While it fits most bases, always measure your divan's drop height first.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Cliffside Hotel in Scarborough was undergoing a refurbishment of its double rooms and needed a bedding solution that was both stylish and tough enough to handle a busy seaside tourist season.
"We wanted a smart, uniform look that wouldn't fade after just a few washes. This indigo double bed skirt was perfect. It instantly tidied the look of the rooms and the deep blue colour beautifully complements our coastal theme. They still look fantastic."
Robert Davies – Head of Housekeeping
The new valances contributed to a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning room cleanliness and presentation within three months of the refurbishment.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- First, carefully lift the mattress completely off the divan base.
- Drape the valance sheet over the base, making sure it sits flat and square.
- Line up the corners and ensure the kick pleats are sitting correctly.
- Smooth out any wrinkles and check the drop is even on all sides.
- Gently place the mattress back on top to hold the valance securely in place.
Keeping It Going
- Always wash at 60°C for optimal hygiene and to comply with health standards.
- To maintain the rich indigo colour, wash with similar dark-coloured items.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting to minimise wear and prevent potential shrinkage.
- For the sharpest possible look, iron on a medium (synthetic) setting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is a kick pleat valance?
A: It’s a type of tailored bed skirt that lies flat against the divan base, with inverted pleats at the corners (and sometimes the sides) to allow it to drape neatly without bunching.
Q: Will this fit a standard UK double bed base?
A: Yes, this valance is sized at 137cm x 190cm, designed to fit a standard UK double divan base perfectly.
Q: How long is the drop?
A: The valance has a 35cm (approximately 14-inch) drop from the top of the base to the floor, which is suitable for most standard height divans.
Q: Is the material 100% cotton?
A: No, it is a 50/50 polycotton blend. This is intentional to provide the durability and easy-care properties needed for commercial use.
Q: Can I tumble dry this indigo double bed skirt?
A: Yes, you can tumble dry it on a low heat setting. High heat is not recommended.
Q: How well does the colour hold up to washing?
A: The polycotton fabric offers excellent colour retention. To keep the indigo vibrant, we always advise washing with similar dark colours.
Q: What does 'contract bedding valance' mean?
A: It signifies that the product is manufactured to a higher durability standard, specifically to withstand the rigours of repeated use and laundering in a commercial environment like a hotel.
Q: Will I need to iron this after washing?
A: The polycotton blend is wrinkle-resistant, which greatly reduces the need for ironing. For a perfectly crisp finish, a quick iron on a medium setting is all that's needed.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy a Polycotton Blend is a Smart Choice for Your Business
Ever wondered why so much professional bedding uses a polycotton blend? It's all about getting the best of both worlds. This valance is made from a 50/50 mix of cotton and polyester, a combination that's deliberately engineered for the hospitality trade. Think of it like a high-performance jacket: you get the natural, soft, breathable feel from the cotton that guests appreciate, while the polyester provides the muscle – the strength, durability, and crease-resistance that your housekeeping team needs. This means the valance can handle repeated 60°C washes without losing its shape or deep colour, and it comes out of the dryer looking much crisper than 100% cotton, saving valuable time on ironing. It’s a practical choice that delivers on both guest comfort and operational efficiency.
