Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pier Hotel in Brighton was looking to modernise its 20 guest rooms without a full-scale refurbishment. Their existing bed bases were functional but looked dated, detracting from the fresh, coastal theme they wanted to cultivate.
"We needed a quick win that would have a real visual impact. The Mitre valances were perfect. They instantly hid the old divans and gave the beds a much sharper, more contemporary look. Our housekeeping team loves them too, as they’re so much easier to launder than our old frilly ones."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The simple upgrade contributed to a 15% increase in positive guest reviews mentioning room cleanliness and presentation within three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For the sharpest look, give the valance a quick iron before its first use.
- Lift the mattress completely off the bed base for easy and accurate fitting.
- Align the corner kick pleats with the corners of the divan base.
- Smooth out the fabric across the top of the base before carefully replacing the mattress.
Keeping It Going
- Machine washable – always follow the instructions on the care label.
- The polycotton blend is designed for quick drying and minimal ironing.
- Wash with similar colours to keep the grey looking its best.
- Avoid using chlorine bleach, as it can damage the fabric and affect the colour.

Ever wondered what a 'kick pleat' actually is? It’s the secret to that tidy, tailored look you see in high-end hotels. Instead of a continuous frill, a kick pleat is a simple, inverted fold of fabric, usually placed at each corner of the valance. Think of it like a neatly pressed crease in a pair of smart trousers – it creates a straight, clean line from top to bottom.
This design prevents the valance from flaring out or looking puffy. It allows the fabric to hang straight down the sides of the bed base, while giving just enough room at the corners to accommodate the bed legs without bunching up. The result is a crisp, boxy silhouette that looks intentional and smart, not fussy. It's a small detail that gives the grey pleated bed skirt king size a distinctly professional and uncluttered finish.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Motels: Ideal for quickly and affordably refreshing room aesthetics for a smart, uniform look.
- Guesthouses & B&Bs: Offers a professional touch that elevates a room from 'spare room' to 'guest suite'.
- Serviced Apartments: Provides a durable, easy-care solution for dressing beds that sees frequent use.
- Student Accommodation Providers: A robust and simple way to make university hall bedrooms look tidy and presentable.
