The Importance of “Drop” When Selecting a Bed Skirt

Just as the length of a lady’s skirt is carefully considered to ensure it grazes the ankle gracefully, so too must the “drop” of a bed skirt be taken into account. This often-overlooked measurement can mean the difference between a bed that appears polished and refined and one that looks haphazard and incomplete.

But what exactly is “drop?”

In simplest terms, “drop” refers to the length of fabric that extends from the top of the box spring to the floor. Picture, if you will, a waterfall cascading over a precipice. The height of that precipice, from the top of the falls to the pool below, could be likened to the “drop” of a bed skirt.

Determining the proper “drop” is a straightforward process. Using a tape measure, carefully measure the distance from the top of the box spring to the floor. This measurement will be your guide when selecting a bed skirt.

A bed skirt with a drop that is too short will leave the area beneath the bed exposed, while one that is too long will bunch up along the floor. Aim for a skirt that just brushes the floor, concealing the box spring and any items stored beneath the bed without appearing bulky or cumbersome.
