Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Orchard House, a charming bed & breakfast in Hereford, wanted to refresh their master suites to achieve a more upmarket feel without the expense of replacing their perfectly functional divan bases.

"We fitted our super king beds with the Mitre Essentials GU208 valance and  the difference was immediate. The rooms look so much smarter and  more 'put together'. Housekeeping finds them simple to fit, and  they wash brilliantly, which is a huge plus for us."

Clara Bishop – Owner

The upgrade resulted in a noticeable lift in room presentation, contributing to enhanced guest satisfaction and  positive online reviews mentioning the quality of the room's furnishings.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • For best results, wash the valance before its first use to soften the fabric.
  • A quick iron while slightly damp will remove any packaging creases easily.
  • To fit, simply lift the mattress off the divan base.
  • Place the valance over the base, ensuring it is straight and  the corners are aligned, then place the mattress back on top.

Keeping It Going

  • Machine wash with similar colours at temperatures suitable for commercial laundering.
  • Can be tumble-dried on a low to medium setting for speed and  convenience.
  • Avoid using harsh bleaches which can damage the fabric's fibres and  colour.
  • Regularly check the seams and  fabric for any signs of wear to maintain a pristine appearance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Bed Valance

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect valance for your establishment.

Measure Your Bed Base

Before you buy, measure the height of your divan base from the floor. Ensure the valance's 'drop' (like this one's 35cm) is long enough to cover it completely for a clean look.

Consider the Style

A pleated valance, like this super king kick pleat valance, offers a classic, tailored look. A 'platform' or 'base' valance is a sheet that goes over the base, which is another popular, simpler style.

Fabric is Key for Longevity

For commercial use, a polycotton blend is your best bet. It withstands frequent, hot washes far better than 100% cotton and  resists creasing, saving you time and  money.

Coordinate Your Colours

Choose a versatile, neutral colour like oatmeal or white that can adapt to any future changes in your room's décor, from duvet covers to curtains.

Check the Bed Size

It sounds obvious, but double-check you're buying the right size! This valance is for a Super King (183cm wide), not a standard King or Double.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What exactly is a 'kick pleat' valance?

A: A kick pleat is an inverted pleat at the corners and  often in the middle of the valance. It allows the fabric to hang straight and  neatly around the bed legs, giving a tailored, structured finish.

Q: Is this a 'base' or 'platform' valance?

A: Yes, this is a base valance. It has a large sheet top that covers the entire divan base, with the skirt dropping down the sides. You need to lift the mattress to fit it.

Q: What size bed does this super king size bed valance fit?

A: It's designed for a standard UK Super King bed, which typically measures 183cm wide by 198cm long (or 6ft wide by 6ft 6in long).

Q: Will the 35cm drop cover my deep divan base?

A: A 35cm drop is designed to cover most standard UK divan bases. We always recommend measuring your base height from the top surface to the floor to be certain.

Q: Is the oatmeal colour a true beige?

A: 'Oatmeal' is a warm, natural beige colour. It's very versatile and  works well with both warm and  cool colour schemes.

Q: Can I machine wash and  tumble dry this valance?

A: Absolutely. The polycotton fabric is designed for easy care. It's machine washable and  can be tumble-dried on a low-to-medium heat setting.

Q: Do I need to iron this commercial bed skirt in oatmeal after washing?

A: The polyester content helps reduce creasing, but for the sharpest, most professional look, a quick iron while it's still slightly damp is recommended.

Q: Is the material see-through?

A: No, the fabric is a commercial-grade weight, designed to be opaque to effectively hide the divan base underneath without it showing through.

The Polycotton Advantage: Why This Fabric Works Harder

Ever wondered what 'polycotton' really means for your business? It's not just a technical term; it's a recipe for success in commercial linen. Think of it like a perfect partnership: it blends the natural softness and  breathability of cotton, which your guests will love, with the strength, durability, and  wrinkle-resistance of polyester. This means the valance not only feels pleasant but can handle the non-stop cycle of use and  industrial laundering in a busy hotel or B&B. It also dries significantly faster than pure cotton, a massive time and  energy saver for your housekeeping team. In short, polycotton gives you the best of both worlds – happy guests and  a happy operations team.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Boutique Hotels: Perfect for creating a consistently luxurious and  tidy appearance across all your super king suites.
  • Country Guesthouses: Adds a touch of homely yet professional polish to bedrooms, complementing rustic or traditional décor.
  • Serviced Apartments: An easy way to maintain a high standard of presentation and  protect bed bases from scuffs.
  • Holiday Let Owners: Instantly upgrade your property's appeal in photos and  in person with this simple, durable addition.
