Thomas Keane – Furniture Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The kick pleats give a much smarter, more structured look than a standard frilled design.
  • Con: Being all-white, it will show scuffs from luggage or shoes easily, requiring regular checks.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Hotel in Falmouth, Cornwall, recently upgraded all the bedding in their sea-facing suites. They needed a crisp, durable, and  easy-to-manage solution to complement their newly purchased super king beds and  maintain their pristine reputation.

"Our housekeeping team is over the moon. The old valances were a pain to iron and  never sat quite right. This Mitre Essentials GT878 valance fits perfectly, washes like a dream, and  gives the whole room a lift. It's the small details that guests notice, and  this gets it right."

Robert Davies – Operations Manager

The switch has reduced time spent on bed dressing by an estimated 10%, allowing for faster room turnarounds during the busy tourist season.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • For best results, wash the valance before its first use to soften the fabric and  remove any packaging creases.
  • To fit, you'll need to lift the mattress completely off the bed base.
  • Place the valance sheet flat over the divan base, aligning the corners and  ensuring the kick pleats are positioned correctly.
  • Carefully lower the mattress back into place, making sure the valance hangs straight and  evenly on all sides.

Keeping It Going

  • Machine wash with whites at up to 40°C to keep it looking brilliant and  fresh.
  • The polycotton blend is suitable for tumble drying on a low to medium heat setting.
  • For a perfectly crisp finish with minimal ironing, remove from the dryer while still slightly damp, then fold neatly.
  • To prolong its life, treat any stains or marks promptly before they have a chance to set in.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bed Linens

Need a hand picking the perfect linens? Here are a few tips to ensure you get it right for your establishment.

Measure Your Base

Before you buy, measure the height of your bed base from the top to the floor. This 'drop' measurement ensures your valance will cover it completely.

Fabric is Key

For commercial use, a polycotton blend is the champion. It offers guest comfort while delivering the durability and  easy-care properties your laundry team needs.

The Power of White

White linens instantly communicate cleanliness and  luxury to guests. It’s a timeless, professional choice that's easy to bleach and  coordinate.

Pleats vs. Frills

A pleated valance, like this kick pleat design, offers a modern, tailored, and  structured look. A frilled valance creates a softer, more traditional feel.

Think About Replacements

Choose a popular, long-standing range like Mitre Essentials. This makes it easier to order identical replacements in the future, ensuring consistency across rooms.

The Polycotton Advantage: Why It's The Smart Choice for Linens

Ever wondered why so many professional linens use a polycotton blend? It’s all about getting the best of both worlds. This fabric is a carefully balanced mix of natural cotton fibres and  synthetic polyester fibres.

Think of it like the ultimate team-up. The cotton brings the softness and  breathability that guests love, ensuring a comfortable and  non-staticky feel. Meanwhile, the polyester is the practical powerhouse in the background. It provides strength and  durability, helping the valance resist shrinking and  withstand the rigours of high-temperature commercial washing. Most importantly, it's wrinkle-resistant and  dries incredibly quickly. For a busy laundry room, this means less time spent ironing and  tumbling, translating directly into lower energy bills and  faster room turnaround.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Boutique Hotels: Perfect for creating a sharp, high-end aesthetic in premium rooms with super king beds.
  • Guest Houses & B&Bs: An essential for hiding divan bases and  providing a clean, uniform look across all rooms.
  • Serviced Apartments: Offer a home-from-home feel with professional, easy-to-maintain linens that stand up to frequent use.
  • Residential & Care Homes: Provides a smart, tidy, and  dignified room presentation that is also incredibly easy to launder.
