valence

[4getmenot]

If I want to search the internet for a valence sheet that just covers the bottom bit of divan (not the matress) what do I type in?

[maggiebee]

Type in Platform Valance

[bushbaby_de]

It's called a 'bed valance' rather than a 'valance sheet' (which goes over the mattress too)

[daffy654]

base valance. :)

I'm with maggie - its called a platform valence and goes UNDER the mattress, a valence sheet goes OVER the mattress and acts as a bottom sheet to lie on.

yep I dont want a valance that goes over the matress which is why I dont want to be typing valance sheet in as then brings up loads to look through

The link above gives pages and pages of links to base valances 4get. I wish I could use one on my bed but because it is an adjustable one you can't put anything on the base that would interfere with the gubbins that controls it :(

its just really the drawers I will need to get to on mine.

next question, can anyone tell me the height of the base bit???

Had a look at Dunelm Mill web page - they seem to call it a divan trim.

i think you can get elasticated ones that are basically a big strip of ruffled fabric with elastic at the top... i don't know what they're called though, sorry.

i made my own like this.

[4getmenot]
