Where does a bed skirt go? A bed skirt is placed between the mattress and box springs of the bed. Not only does a bed skirt hide what you store under the bed, but it also brings the whole bedroom together making your guests feel comfortable faster.

How To Keep Your Bed Skirt In Place

This to us is the most annoying part of using a bed skirt. No matter what the skirt will move right? WRONG, over the years of hosting on Airbnb we have found trust-worthy methods.

PIN IT: How to use bed skirt pins. This method uses corkscrew or tac style pins that go on each corner of the bed skirt and into the box spring. If you are looking for inexpensive pins we love the KUUQA Upholstery Twist Pins Clear

Sticky Velcro: Purchase velcro tape. Place the adhesive side on both the box spring and underside of the bed skirt. Remember to align both before applying the tape and for better support use 3-inch pieces.

There are other methods such as rug grippers or putting more weight on the mattress but we found they don’t work as well as the above two methods. Good luck!

How To Measure Bed Skirt Drop?

To measure your Airbnb bed skirt drop, use a measuring tape and measure from the floor to the top of the box spring. This will give you the full length of the drop. Remember when measuring to leave an inch above the floor so there is room for a vacuum and the bed skirt won’t pick up dust as much.

How To Measure A Bed Skirt?

This will give you total dimensions needed for purchase.

What Color Of Bed Skirt Should I Get?
