bedskirts

Frame-hiding fabric panels

Bedskirts are fabric panels that hang from the edge of a mattress to the floor, concealing the box spring and the space beneath the bed.

Also called dust ruffles, they serve both decorative and practical purposes—hiding under-bed storage or an unsightly bed frame: She chose a white bedskirt to match the comforter.
