Valance Sheets That Suit Your Bed Base
A valance finishes a bed the way a skirting board finishes a wall. Every style here shares the same soft microfibre, pleated corners and easy care, so the decision comes down to size, colour and finish.
Pleated Valance Bed Sheets
Pleated valances come in single, small double, double and king, so they also suit the in-between small double. Colours run from white, grey and beige to navy and black, which suits darker schemes as well as pale ones. The brushed fabric is described as fade- and crease-resistant, so it hangs neatly between washes.
Wrap-Around Valances
Wrap-around valances share the same brushed microfibre, quadruple-pleated corners and OEKO-TEX certification. They come in single, double and king, in beige, black, grey and white. Compare the photos on each listing to choose the finish that looks best on your divan or bed frame, as the way the skirt falls differs between styles.
Getting the Drop Right
The drop is the distance from the top of the bed base to the floor, and it decides whether the skirt skims the carpet or stops short. Raising a bed on furniture risers for extra storage changes that measurement, so check it again afterwards. A valance then keeps the risers and storage boxes out of sight.
Matching the Rest of the Bed
Neutral valances sit happily under most bed linen, and the full sheets and pillowcases collection has the layers that go on top. Pick the shade of your sheet sets for a matched look, or go a tone darker to frame a pale duvet cover. Sizes follow standard UK mattresses: single 90 × 190 cm, small double 120 × 190 cm, double 135 × 190 cm and king 150 × 200 cm.
