Bed Skirts

A bed skirt, also known as a dust ruffle, petticoats and dusters, is designed to hide the box spring. In addition to being functional, bed skirts also offer a way to introduce an additional color, pattern, and style to the bedroom. Bed skirts typically consist of a flat piece of fabric with a ruffle or tailored attached skirt on three sides. There are two styles of bed skirts, tailored and gathered/ruffled and the construction of these bed skirts may be either paneled or platform.

Paneled bed skirts come in three pieces that can be easily fastened to the box spring and adjusted to the desired drop of the box spring. This wonderful new feature allows to quickly put on the bed skirt without having to lift the mattress. These are especially nice for laundering and maintenance. Platform bed skirts come as one piece and require lifting the mattress in order to place squarely over the box spring.

Fabrics
Bed skirts are made from different materials and have florals, stripes or solid color designs on them. Better quality fabrics or linen such as matelasse, cotton chintz, chenille, or even velvet with a tight enough weave and thick enough threads are used to make good quality bed skirts.
