    It's a valance. I think that's even spelled correctly! I've never had one before in my life, though!

    A valance goes around the skirt of the whole bed. It's like a fitted sheet, with the skirt attached IYKWIM.

    ooohhh yeah! I just want the elastic type one that goes around the bottom of an ensemble? IYKWIM

    DSD has a single ensemble type bed and her sheets and doona are pink but the base of the bed is blue with a funny pattern, it look wierd and im a bit of a neat freak in that it all has to look nice and cohesive LOL

    I know Teirae! Its awesome hehe

    I just use a fitted sheet. It covers the mattress and is fairly cheap.
