What is the point of a bed skirt?

A bed skirt complements or shares the color of your comforter or quilt to create a cohesive bed design. It lies between the mattress and box spring and cascades towards the floor. Without a bed skirt, your bedding may not cover any part of your less than attractive box spring and its unsightly legs.

Can you use a sheet as a bed skirt?

This is seriously easy. First, you simply drape the sheet over your box spring or bed platform or whatever surface is below your mattress. I used a twin sheet to make a bed skirt for a twin bed and it was the perfect length, but if your bed is on the higher side, you may need to use a sheet in a larger size.

How far should a bed skirt be from the floor?

Considering a bed skirt is primarily there for aesthetic value, hanging a few inches too long or too short really is a big deal. It hampers the flow of the room and the visual effect that the skirt is intended to give. It should reach the floor (give or take no more than about ½ inch).

How do you put a bedskirt on without removing a mattress?

To put on a bed skirt without removing the mattress, first lift one side of the mattress and slide the bed skirt underneath it, then lift the other side of the mattress and pull the skirt out, finally, adjust the bed skirt so that all four corners are aligned properly across the surface.

Does a bed skirt go under the box spring?

The answer is simple: If you have a traditional mattress and box spring set – you are all set. The bed skirt is easily placed between your mattress and box spring and can be adjusted to the height of your bed.

What type of bedskirt do I need?

A standard measurement for ready-made bed skirts is 15 inches, but they do vary. If your “drop” measurement is 16 inches, the standard bed skirt will not go all the way to the floor. If your “drop” measurement is 14 inches, the bed skirt will drag on the floor.
