Designed to fit under your mattress and on top of your boxspring, a bedskirt is used to decorate all the way to the floor. A bedskirt is used when the boxspring of the bed is showing or when the top of the bed cover, like a bedspread or comforter, doesnâ€(tm)t extend all the way to the floor. Most bedskirts are either ruffled or tailored.

Pleated or ruffled fabric that encircles the base of a bed below the mattress or boxspring to the floor.

Typically consists of a flat piece of fabric with a ruffle or tailored attached skirt on three sides. Also called dust ruffles, petticoats and dusters.
