A simple treatment known by many names: Bed Skirts, Dust Skirts and Dusters. Bed Skirts are an important piece of a complete bedding package. Bed Skirts cover the lower portion of a bed, adding a finishing touch to your guest room layout. Several designs are available, from the simple texture of a quilted bed skirt, to the clean crisp lines of box pleated edges, we have something to fit your design and budget. Many options are available to tailor this custom treatment to each bed design. Fitted sheet bottom, fitted cap, elastic band corner, and sewn down pleats are just a few of the sophisticated options Fabtex can provide when designing Dust Skirts for your next hospitality project. | ![]() |

SKIRT LINING:
Standard: 70/30 polyester/cotton
(78/44 count).
DECKING:
Decking should be 70/30
polyester/cotton (78/44 count) without sizing or backfill.
HEMS:
Bottoms should be single needle lock-stitched
to prevent unraveling.
PLATFORM
All dust skirts should have 4”
platform strips so decking does not show if mattress slips.
STRIPS:
Standard: 4” platform strips on 3
sides made from skirt fabric.
SIZE:
Width and length of box spring plus
drop which is normally 13-14”. Many times box springs are narrower than
mattresses, therefore it is important that they are measured.
Drops should be 1/2” to 1” off the
floor.
OPTIONS:
Fitted Sheet Style Bottom: This is a 4 sided cap that covers the box spring with 1/2” elastic
on all four sides and is sewn to the decking and behind the drop of the dust
skirt.
4” Fitted Cap: Decking extends over top of bed and closes top corner to minimize
slippage. Note: Exact mattress sizes are a must when using a fitted cap.
Corner Elastic Bands: 1” Elastic bands across each corner of dust skirt to attach under
corners of box spring.
Sewn Down Pleats at Top 1 1/2”
INSTALLATION:
Many hotels use T Pins or upholstery
pins effectively, attaching platform strips to box springs. Velcro can also be
used as another option.
