Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lakeside View Holiday Park in The Lake District recently refurbished its family lodges. They needed a bedding solution that was durable enough for a busy season but also helped to create a more premium, homely feel for their guests.
"The bare metal bunk bed frames looked a bit stark and clinical. These oatmeal valances instantly softened the look of the rooms and made everything feel more welcoming. The housekeeping team is thrilled with how easily they wash and dry."
Robert Evans – Park Manager
The change contributed to improved guest feedback scores for room comfort and presentation, and the laundry team reported a noticeable reduction in bedding processing time.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For the best fit, start with a clean, dust-free bed base.
- Remove the mattress from the bunk bed frame first.
- Simply drape the valance over the base, ensuring the corners are aligned.
- Smooth out any wrinkles by hand before placing the mattress back on top.
Keeping It Going
- Always machine wash at 60°C to ensure a thorough, hygienic clean.
- Wash with similar colours to keep the oatmeal shade looking its best.
- Can be tumble-dried on a low heat setting for a quick turnaround.
- The polyester bunk bed skirt blend means minimal ironing is needed, but a quick press on a low setting will give a perfect finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this valance fit a standard single bed?
A: No, this is specifically designed for the slightly narrower dimensions of a standard commercial bunk bed (750mm width).
Q: What is the 'drop' of the valance?
A: The valance has a 35cm (350mm) drop from the top of the base to the floor, designed to cover most standard bunk bed bases.
Q: Can I tumble dry this valance?
A: Yes, it can be tumble-dried on a low heat setting. The poly-cotton blend helps it dry quickly.

A: This valance is designed for commercial use and is manufactured to be colourfast, holding its shade well through repeated 60°C washes.

A: Not at all. The 50% cotton content ensures the fabric has a soft and quiet handle, providing comfort as well as durability.

A: Thanks to the 50% polyester content, it is wrinkle-resistant and requires minimal-to-no ironing if removed promptly from the dryer.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy a Poly-Cotton Blend is Your Secret Weapon
Ever wondered why so much professional bedding uses a poly-cotton blend? It’s not just about cost; it’s about creating the perfect partnership for a commercial environment. Think of it like a specialist team where each player has a vital role.
The cotton in the blend brings the softness and breathability that guests expect, ensuring the fabric feels comfortable and never 'plasticky'. This is the 'guest-facing' part of the team. Behind the scenes, the polyester is the workhorse. It provides strength and resilience, making the fabric resistant to shrinking, stretching, and wrinkling. Crucially, it helps the valance dry much faster than 100% cotton. For a busy hotel or hostel, this means you get the best of both worlds: happy guests and a hyper-efficient laundry operation.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Guesthouses: Ideal for giving family rooms with bunk beds a tidy, uniform, and upmarket finish.
- Holiday Parks & Hostels: An essential for high-traffic accommodation, offering impressive durability and a clean look for guest dorms.
- Student Accommodation Providers: A practical, hard-wearing solution to smarten up student halls and protect bed bases from wear.
