Fit a valance sheet to a valance bed?

We've bought a cheap bed with drawers underneath and my OH thinks I'm 'bonkers' for buying a valance sheet and putting it on.

He said you show the bottom part and just use a normal sheet.

The bed is a cheap one and the drawers are sliding and looks 'cheap'. I honestly thought this was 'normal'.

We're laughing now (rum helps) and wondered what the majority of you do?

I can't stand valance sheets so I'd tuck it in anyway. Not that I'd own one in the first place.

Although looking at the pic - it would indeed look weird.

I'd put a valance sheet on.

I'd put a valance sheet on, to not do so would look studenty in my opinion.

We have a valance sheet on the divan bed in our spare room, with a 'normal' fitted sheet on the mattress. I'm not the biggest fan of the valance, but I think the beds do look a bit odd without them.

I'd have a valance sheet on that to cover the drawers up.

Used to but after my DH said it looked old fashioned they were recycled

Ps I'm only 37 but my mum had always used them so I just followed suit

I have a divan bed-base like that and I do have a valance on it. To me, the valance looks better than the naff patterned base, so it's hidden until I can afford a proper bed.

I would put a valance sheet on too.

I'd put a valance on any divan base.
