How To Measure For Bedskirt Drop

Want to add a touch of elegance to your bedroom? A bedskirt is a perfect way to do it. But before you buy one, you need to know how to measure for the correct drop. The drop is the distance from the top of the mattress to the floor. Here's a simple guide on how to measure:

Lay the bed skirt on the bed, aligning the top edge with the top of the mattress.
Measure from the bottom edge of the bed skirt to the floor.
This measurement is the drop.

When measuring, be sure to consider the thickness of your mattress. If you have a thick mattress, you'll need a bed skirt with a longer drop. You may also want to consider the style of your bed skirt. Some bed skirts have a gathered or ruffled edge, which can add extra length. If you're not sure what drop to get, it's always better to err on the side of caution and get a bed skirt that's too long rather than too short.

Here are some additional tips for measuring for bedskirt drop:

If you have a box spring, measure from the top of the box spring to the floor.
If you have a bed frame, measure from the top of the side rails to the floor.
If you have a platform bed, measure from the top of the platform to the floor.

Once you have the correct measurement, you can order your bed skirt with confidence. A well-fitted bed skirt will add a touch of sophistication to your bedroom and make your bed look more put-together.
