Add a splash of color to your existing comforter with a bed skirt
Mix and match
Enhance the look of your bedroom by adding a coordinating bed skirt to your bedding ensemble. Pair a striped bed skirt with a solid comforter or add a colorful bed skirt to perk up a neutral quilt. A bed skirt is an inexpensive and quick way to change a look.
Size it up
Most bed skirt styles are made to fit a twin, full, queen or king bed. You can also purchase other sizes like daybed bed skirts and California king bed skirts. While the fabrics on a bed skirt vary, the platform, or the part the fits between the mattress and box spring, is usually made out of a poly-cotton blend so it fits snug and won't lose its shape.
The big drop
The length of a bed skirt, or drop size, come is four different lengths, 14", 18", 21" or 24" to fit any bed frame size. Low frames or platform beds will need the 14 inch length bed skirt, while king beds will need either 21 or 24 inch lengths. If you have a bed with posts, you'll need to look for bed skirts with split corners to fit.
