Choosing a bed skirt is not only about picking a color that matches your bedroom. The right fit depends on the mattress size, the amount of fabric you want to hang below the mattress, and how securely the skirt can be adjusted around the bed. Wrap-around bed skirts are especially useful when you want to update the appearance of a bed without replacing the entire bedding set.
Measure the Bed Before Choosing a Bed Skirt
Start by identifying the mattress size. The products in this collection include options for Twin, Twin XL, Full, Full XL, Queen, King, and California King configurations. A bed skirt designed for one mattress size should not automatically be assumed to fit another.
Next, consider the drop length. The collection includes shorter 12-inch drops as well as longer options such as 15, 17, 19, and 22 inches. The correct drop depends on how far you want the fabric to extend toward the floor.
Consider the Wrap-Around Design
A wrap-around bed skirt is designed to cover the sides of the bed rather than requiring you to lift and reposition a heavy mattress in the same way as a traditional platform-style skirt.
Adjustable elastic and belt-style options can also help accommodate different bed configurations. When installing, make sure the skirt is evenly distributed around the visible sides of the mattress.
Think About Color and Bedroom Style
Neutral colors such as white, navy, grey, camel, and brown can work with many bedding styles, while colors such as red, aqua, and sage can create a stronger decorative accent.
The best choice is usually the one that coordinates with your sheets, comforter, curtains, or other bedroom textiles.
Conclusion
A well-fitted wrap-around bed skirt can give a bed a more finished appearance while helping conceal the space underneath. Before buying, compare the mattress size, drop length, adjustment method, and color to make sure the option suits your bedroom.
