Home linen that tidies divan bases and gives a tailored bedside look. The John Aird Bed Valance fits standard double bases and promises an even, elasticated skirt for a neater bedroom. Will it suit taller divan bases and still allow easy drawer access?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Material Quality: 100% polyester fabric with neat stitching praised by users
  • Best for: Owners of standard double divan bases up to 40cm height seeking a tidy finish
  • Not ideal for: Divan bases taller than 40cm or non-standard bed sizes

Elasticated hem fits divan bases up to 40cm height and creates a smooth skirt. Supplied in dimensions 135cm x 190cm with a 40cm drop and available in matching curtains.


Tidy, tailored bed appearance - with an elasticated hem

Elasticated edging stretches to sit around divan bases up to 40cm in height, holding the fabric taut and preventing sagging. The hem design relies on stretch rather than fixed fastenings to adapt to slight size variations.

Keeps the fabric smooth and helps beds look professionally made without fiddly adjustments.

Unobstructed drawer access - thanks to correct drop and sizing

Dimensions are given as 135cm x 190cm with an additional 40cm drop, matching standard 4ft6 double divans. The specified drop allows clearance for common under-bed drawers while covering the base.

Permits easy use of divan storage without needing to lift or tuck the skirt repeatedly.

Reliable everyday use - with 100% polyester and strong stitching

Constructed from 100% polyester, the fabric resists creasing and holds shape, while user feedback highlights tidy stitching quality. Polyester construction also tolerates frequent making of the bed better than very delicate fibres.

Holds up to regular handling and retains a neat appearance over time, according to reviewers.
