We also put an anti-allergenic cover over the top because the slight smell from the plastic/gortex can set people off. We have a mixture of French and UK beds, I have found the French ones fit UK beds OK but not the other way round as you need to stretch them and the seams go. http://www.chambresdhote.com    Report

If you are buying a lot it's always worth while asking for free delivery. They may not give a discount for bulk buys but are usually quite happy to give the free delivery. Well it's always worth a try, you never know if you don't ask. http://www.chambresdhote.com    Report
