Everyone loves the idea of a stylish bedroom that is comfortable and welcoming and using a bed base cover can help achieve this.
This article will explain what a bed base cover is, how it can be used to transform the appearance of your bed frame, and the different bed base cover types to choose from.
What is a Bed Base Cover?
When you think of how bedding can help change a bedroom's style, most people will typically think of bed sheets, pillows, and duvet sets. But bed base covers can be a great way to change the style of bed frames to match your desired colour scheme.
Bed bases will typically come in neutral colours, but sometimes a change of colour schemes can leave you with a bed that might not match its surroundings. Covers for bed bases can help to resolve this.
Bed valances were often used to hide or disguise bed bases, and this is great for a more traditional look. However, for contemporary and modern bedrooms, a bed base wrap, also known as divan base wraps, box spring covers, and box spring wraps, can be a great solution.
Elasticated edging allows the sheets to be comfortably and neatly fitted over the bed base.
Bed Base Cover Types
Choosing the perfect bed base cover to match your bedroom's decor is easy when you shop with Belledorm. You will find a great range of exceptional home linens and a wonderful choice of bed base cover fabrics to suit your style.
Bed base covers are easy to put on, and you won't have to worry about struggling with moving a large mattress anytime you make your bed.
They can be easily fitted over an existing mattress and moved down to the base. There, the elasticated edges help hold the base cover, where it can be easily removed and cleaned.
This ease of use makes having multiple colours or styles a great option. It will allow the person styling the room to achieve different looks and styles throughout the year, with bright, fresh colours during the spring and summer and darker, warm and cosy colours for Autumn and the winter.
Faux Suede
Belledorm's range of faux suede bed base covers gives you the great style and appearance of suede in a more manageable fabric.
Faux suede is significantly easier to clean, less susceptible to stains, and available in a selection of colours, including white, black, charcoal, chocolate, and linen.
Crushed Velvet
Crushed velvet can be a great option if you want to achieve a more glamorous or opulent appearance for your bedroom.
Crushed velvet is also recognised for adding warmth to a room and texture that also adds something different to the bed's overall appearance.
You will be able to choose from single, double, king size, and super king size, as well as champagne or silver colours.
Jersey Cotton
Jersey cotton is a durable material that is easy to wash, looks great, and typically has a low price in comparison to other materials.
Belledorm's range of jersey cotton base wraps comes in powder pink, navy, linen, and cloud colourways, making them an excellent option for bedrooms across the UK, no matter your colour scheme.
Base Cover Alternatives
Whether you want to change your bedroom's colour scheme or have a tired bed base that is compromising the room's appearance, choosing to cover it can be a quick, easy, and cheap alternative to replacing your bed base.
Bed base covers offer a convenient and cost-effective way for you to transform your bed base and are ideal for contemporary, modern bedrooms.
Many alternatives offer a more traditional style which may suit other home or decor choices. Belledorm offers a range of valance sheets that are available in more contemporary styles, patterned or pleated.
Sheet Valance
A sheet valance works as a fitted bed sheet with additional material hanging down from the lower edges and acts like a bed skirt to cover the base.
This is a more traditional look and is relatively easy to fit because it is part of the fitted sheet.
Base Valance
A base valance is put on a bed base like a traditional bed sheet, and the main difference is that it is under the mattress. This can make it a tricky choice, especially if you are making the bed yourself and have to deal with moving the mattress off and on the bed base.
Wraparound Valance
A wraparound valance works like a bed base cover but is looser and hangs like a bed skirt. It is much easier than a base valance as you will not have to remove a mattress, and it can be put over the top and pulled down into position.
Velcro Valance
A velcro valance allows easy removal and application after the first installation of the velcro beneath the mattress. After this has been installed, the valance can then be removed or applied simply by undoing the velcro.
