Bed Skirt Facts
|
The bed skirt is normally used in conjunction with a comforter or coverlet. Since bedspreads drop all the way to the floor, there isn't any need for a bed skirt with those. The bed skirt is also commonly called a "dust ruffle", "duster", or "valance."
Our bed skirts are normally manufactured with a platform, which is draped over the foundation of the bed and has the actual skirt portion sewn onto it. Our platforms are always 100% cotton.
|
Since February of 2001, our bed skirts are made with an additional width of matching fabric inset on the platform, as shown here. This additional inset prevents the platform from being seen on pillow-top mattresses, which generally crown at the edges and reveal the white platform, otherwise.

When ordering a bed skirt, it is important to consider the bed's frame. If a footboard is present, then the corners of the bed skirt must be split to accommodate it. In cases where moving the mattress is impractical or impossible, we also make a "velcro-attached" bed skirt. In such cases, we provide you with the "hook" portion of the velcro in small sections, and you affix it to your foundation foundation via staples, hot glue, reversible velcro tape, or whatever. The "loop" portion of the velcro is sewn to the skirt. A velcro bed skirt is easier to install and remove for cleaning than the platform version, but does not look as appealing. Think of it as a "clip-on" tie.. which will never be quite as convincing as the real thing.
