Affordable Base Valances - Cotton, Polycotton & Easy-Iron Bed Valances
A well-dressed bed is more than just sheets, duvets, and pillows. One of the most practical yet decorative bedding essentials for this purpose is the base valance. Base valances, also known as bed valances, serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. They cover the base of the bed or divan, providing a neat finish while hiding storage space underneath. At The Towel Shop, we stock a wide range of base valances in the UK. Our collection includes everyday polycotton blends, crisp easy-iron percale, and breathable 100% cotton designs. Available in a variety of colours, sizes, and styles, our base valances combine comfort with durability, making them suitable for households as well as wholesale customers.
Why Choose a Base Valance?
A base valance does far more than improve the look of a bed. Below are the key benefits:
- Protects the Mattress by covering the base of the bed
- Extend the life of bedding and mattresses by adding a protective layer.
- Most valances are machine-washable and designed for regular use.
- Versatile Fit to suit all UK standard beds.
- Wholesale pricing is suitable for businesses looking for durable, bulk bedding solutions.
