Over the years, bed valances matured into pleats. They became quilted and the pleats disappeared. Then the bright colours were replaced with a simple, more subdued palette.

Today, the bed valance, that bane of many a housekeeper's life, has all but disappeared.
The upholstered base has evolved. Sleek, tailored, uncomplicated. A choice of simple elegant colours in subtly textured fabrics that don't wrinkle or hang unevenly or scrunch up as you make the bed.
Good, hard-wearing upholstery-grade fabrics should withstand the everyday wear and tear of home and still look amazing. Better still, if your colour scheme changes or you move house, you can still revert to that old faithful, the valance.
The latest development is quite exciting.
Many people admire the European-style Pivotech flexible slat system from East West Designs. While the bed frames are often admired for their beauty and aesthetics, often those elegant rimu or beech frames take up too much room, do not match our existing furniture or may not fit the budget.
Bedpost now has the Reflex, a Pivotech slat system in a simple stylish upholstered base. This means you have a bed that looks like a standard mattress and base, that is the same size as a standard bed, that fits a standard headboard (you may have one already), but has all the benefits of the ultimate in flexible slat systems.
The Pivotech slat system has the ability to adjust to each partner's comfort preferences. One side can be set up firmer than the other, extra lumbar support can be gained and even better still, if you want to adjust the feel after you have slept a few nights, that can be done simply by adjusting the tensioner on the slat.
Even better, you have a choice of mattresses, from pure latex, to specially-designed pocket springs, to tempur. All work really well, with the added advantage that the flexible slat mattresses, because the slats provide most of the postural support, do not need to be as deep or heavy as many conventional innersprung mattresses have become. So, no mountains to climb, just go to sleep.
See for yourself what all the fuss is about.
