Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Guesthouse in Whitby needed to refresh their ten rooms ahead of the busy summer season. Their existing bed bases were sturdy but visually dated, and they wanted a cost-effective solution that screamed 'quality'.
"We were looking for something that could withstand our intense laundry schedule but still looked elegant. This double kick pleat bed valance was the perfect fit. It instantly smartened up the rooms and hides all the scuffs on the bases. The feedback on the 'new' rooms has been fantastic."
Michael Chen – Owner
The simple addition of the valances led to a noticeable increase in positive guest comments about room presentation and housekeeping standards.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- First, give the valance a quick wash before first use to soften it up.
- Remove the mattress completely from the bed base for easiest application.
- Lay the valance sheet over the bed base, ensuring it is centred and hangs evenly on all sides.
- Carefully place the mattress back on top, smoothing out any wrinkles in the valance as you go.
Keeping It Going
- Wash with similar colours on a standard cycle to maintain the oatmeal shade.
- The polycotton blend can be tumble-dried on a low-to-medium heat setting.
- Remove promptly from the dryer to minimise creasing and reduce ironing time.
- Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, which can damage the fabric fibres over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a sheet that goes over the mattress?
A: No, this is a base valance. It's designed to be placed directly on the bed base, with the mattress sitting on top of it, to hide the base itself.
Q: What is the exact material?
A: It's made from a commercial-grade polycotton blend, combining polyester and cotton for durability and comfort.
Q: Will the 35cm drop be long enough for my divan?
A: A 35cm (approx. 14-inch) drop is standard for most UK divan bases. To be certain, we recommend measuring from the top surface of your base to the floor.
Q: Can I tumble dry this valance?
A: Yes, absolutely. The polycotton fabric is ideal for tumble drying on a low or medium heat setting for a quick laundry turnaround.
Q: Does the colour fade after washing?
A: The Mitre Essentials Spectrum valance is designed for colour fastness. Washing with similar colours will help maintain its rich oatmeal tone for a long time.
Q: How much ironing does it need?
A: Very little! The polyester in the blend helps it resist creasing. If you remove it from the dryer promptly, it may not need any ironing at all.
Q: Is this GU187 double bed valance suitable for a care home?
A: Yes, its durable, easy-to-launder, and flame-retardant properties (check specific compliance if needed) make it a great choice for various contract environments.
Q: Are matching pillowcases and duvet covers available?
A: Yes, this valance is part of the Mitre Essentials Spectrum collection, which includes a full range of coordinating bed linens.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy a Polycotton Blend is Your Secret Weapon for Housekeeping
Ever wondered what 'polycotton' actually means? It's simply a fabric made by blending cotton and polyester fibres. Think of it as a super-duo for commercial linen. You get the natural softness and breathability from the cotton, which is what guests love against their skin. Then, you get the strength, durability, and crease-resistance from the polyester. It's like having a tough, reliable workhorse that also happens to be incredibly comfortable. For your housekeeping team, this means less time spent ironing out stubborn creases and much faster drying times compared to 100% cotton, letting you turn rooms around quicker than ever.
