Bed skirts are one of the simplest ways to give a bed a tidy, finished look, covering the box spring, the frame and anything tucked underneath with a single panel of fabric. At JYSK, you will find bed skirts in twin, double, queen and king sizes, in white and grey, each made with an 18 inch (45 cm) drop that falls from the top of your foundation toward the floor. Choose a tailored finish with crisp corner pleats or a gathered style with a softer ruffle, and you have an affordable way to pull the base of your bed together.
What a Bed Skirt Does for Your Bedroom
A bed skirt sits between your mattress and your box spring, with the fabric hanging down over both sides and the foot of the bed. One layer covers a lot: an exposed foundation, a frame that does not quite match your bedding, and the bins you keep out of sight below. If you use that space for off-season clothing or spare linens, our storage boxes, baskets and bags stay hidden but remain easy to reach.
Because the flat deck of the skirt is held in place under the mattress, only the outer panel is visible. That means you can change the look of your bed without replacing your bed frame or headboard, which makes a bed skirt a low-effort update for a room that needs refreshing.
How to Choose the Right Size Bed Skirt
Sizing starts with your foundation rather than your mattress, since a bed skirt is designed to wrap the box spring underneath. A twin bed skirt suits a single bed in a child's room or a guest room, while a bed skirt in double fits a standard full-size foundation. Measure the width and length of your box spring or foundation first, then check the drop, which is the distance from the top of the foundation to the floor. Our bed skirts use an 18 inch (45 cm) drop, a measurement that works with most standard bed heights. If your frame sits noticeably higher or lower, measure before you choose so you know how the fabric will fall.
Queen and King Bed Skirts
A queen bed skirt is cut to fit a standard queen foundation, and it is a common starting point when you are refreshing a main bedroom. If you are comparing queen size bed skirts, check the measurements against your own box spring, as depth can vary from one foundation to another. A king bed skirt covers a wider footprint and uses the same 18 inch drop, so the proportions stay consistent on a larger bed. Matching the skirt to your mattress size matters, because a skirt that is too small will not reach the corners and one that is too large will gather on the floor.
Tailored and Gathered Bed Skirt Styles
Two looks run through the range. Tailored bed skirts use flat panels with pleats at the corners, giving a straight, structured line that suits a simple, modern bedroom. Gathered bed skirts use more fabric, ruffled along the top edge, for a fuller and softer drape. Both do the same job, so the choice comes down to the mood you want in the room and how the rest of your bedding is styled.
Easy Care Polyester in White and Grey
Our bed skirts are made from 100% polyester, a practical choice for bedding that gets washed regularly. Wash before first use, and wash separately the first time so the colour settles. After that, machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, tumble dry at a normal temperature, and skip the bleach. White and grey are both easy colours to build a bed around, sitting comfortably alongside patterned and solid bedding alike.
Coordinating With the Rest of Your Bedding
A bed skirt is the base layer, so it works best when the rest of the bed is considered alongside it. Start with fitted sheets in a shade that sits well next to your skirt, then layer a duvet cover set or a bedspread on top to set the tone for the room. Because white and grey are neutral, you can change the colours above without needing to replace the skirt underneath.
