In hospitality, it’s the little details that elevate a room from 'fine' to 'fantastic'. This Mitre Essentials valance is one of those details.

- Pro: The kick pleat offers a much cleaner, structured look than standard valances.
- Con: As it's lightweight, it may not offer the heavy drape of premium cotton.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Seaspray Guesthouse in Newquay was looking for a cost-effective way to modernise their ten bedrooms. Their existing divan bases were in good condition but looked dated, and their old valances were tired and ill-fitting.
"We wanted to brighten the rooms up without the cost of new beds. These Mitre valances were the answer. The turquoise colour really brings the seaside feel indoors and they are so much easier for our staff to care for than our old 100% cotton ones. They've made a huge difference to the overall look."
Robert Davies – Proprietor
The simple change resulted in consistently higher scores for 'room cleanliness and presentation' in guest feedback forms.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For best results, wash the valance before its first use to soften the fabric.
- Remove the mattress completely from the bed base.
- Lay the valance platform over the base, ensuring it is centred and straight.
- Align the kick pleats with the corners of the bed base.
- Carefully place the mattress back on top, checking the valance hasn't shifted.
Keeping It Going
- Wash with similar colours on a standard cycle to maintain the vibrant turquoise.
- The polycotton blend is designed to resist creasing and can be tumble-dried on a low heat.
- If you do iron, use a medium setting for a crisp finish.
- Regularly check the seams and pleats for any wear and tear during laundering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this valance a 'platform' style or does it have an elasticated edge?
A: This is a platform valance. The main sheet sits flat on top of the bed base, underneath your mattress, which ensures it stays securely in place without shifting.
Q: What is the exact material of the valance?
A: It is a commercial-grade polycotton blend, specifically designed to offer cotton's softness with the strength and easy-care properties of polyester.
Q: Will the turquoise colour fade with repeated washing?
A: The fabric is specifically chosen for its colourfast properties, meaning it's designed to resist fading and keep its vibrant colour through many commercial wash cycles.
Q: Is the 35cm drop long enough for most beds?
A: A 35cm (or 14-inch) drop is the UK standard and is designed to fully conceal the majority of divan bases. We always recommend measuring your own base just to be certain.
Q: Does the valance cover all four sides of the bed base?
A: No, this is a standard three-sided valance. It covers the two long sides and the foot of the bed. The head is left open as it is designed to sit against a wall or headboard.
Q: Can I tumble dry this product?
A: Yes, it can be tumble-dried on a low-heat setting. The polyester content helps it to dry much faster than 100% cotton linen.
Q: Is the material see-through?
A: The fabric has a substantial weight and weave to ensure it is not transparent, effectively hiding the bed base underneath.
Q: What is the difference between a kick pleat and a box pleat?
A: A kick pleat is a simple, single inverted pleat at the corners for a sharp, clean line. A box pleat is more decorative, created by folding fabric in on itself to create a wider, rectangular pleat.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhat's the Big Deal About a Kick Pleat?
Ever wondered why some valances look neat and tidy while others look a bit... baggy? The secret is often the kick pleat. A standard valance is essentially a continuous fabric skirt, which can bunch up at the corners. A 'kick pleat', however, is a tailored, inverted pleat that is expertly sewn into each corner of the valance. Think of it like a smart suit versus a tracksuit. The pleat gives the fabric structure, allowing it to hang straight down and turn the corner of the bed base sharply. This prevents sagging and creates a clean, architectural line, making the entire bed look more intentional and professionally dressed.
Who Should Buy This?
