Valanced Sheets

[Glammanana]

A few years ago I asked the question about "deeper" sized double fitted sheets and went off to Dunelm and bought 3 in colours that would match all my bedding sets,my bed is rather high off the ground and I would like a fitted valance sheet but cannot find one anywhere that is deep enough !! I could obviously just use a base valance and just change the top sheet when needed, but the mattress is so so heavy to lift when changing the base even if I leave it on for a few weeks I would love a fitted sheet with a valance so the bed looks tidy and "finished off" if that makes sense.

Have you tries Amazon Glamma.

[Oma]

I thought that Nanto .

Do you sew Glamm ?
I used to buy sheeting and make my Valance's ,
My spare bed has a box valance Strip I made and its attached to the base with Velcro . I machined one side to the box valance and the other side is stapled to the base , just pulls off to wash no base material so easy to do

I don't have a valance now. I think that is a good idea Oma.

Oma - that's a very good idea.

Glamm I know what you mean - we've got a valance on our guest bed and the mattress weighs a ton! I started to use it when the GSs were little as there are drawers underneath and I didn't want them to trap their fingers in them, but really I could just give up on it now.

Have you tried John Lewis? I think their bedding is brilliant, but I don't know about valance sheets.

Brilliant suggestion Oma. I have always steered clear of valanced sheets because of the ironing. (Lazy or what!)

Ditto Sunshine

I hope you find a solution Glamma.

Oma's idea is excellent I think I shall have a word with my pal who is so good with her machine thanks so much ladies xx

Glamm - let us know how it goes. It does sound like a great solution.
