Queen Bed Skirt

Queen bed skirt cut to a true 60 × 80 in. platform in 100% combed long-staple cotton at 240 gsm, French-seamed, with 8 available colorways and three corner treatments (tailored, gathered 2.5:1, split corner). Our queen bed skirt uses a 110 gsm brushed polyester decking with silicone grip lines at 4-inch centers, so it holds position instead of creeping.

Why most queen bed skirts get returned

Queen is the size most bed skirts are bought in and the size most often returned, and the reason is almost never the skirt. It is the measurement. People measure from the floor to the top of the mattress, order a 21 in. drop, and receive something that pools six inches deep on the carpet.

The drop you actually need on a queen bed skirt

The drop you need is the distance from the floor to the top of the base — the surface the mattress sits on. On a conventional queen with a standard box spring that is almost always 15 in. On a taller modern base or a divan with castors it is usually 18 in. Take the measurement at the head of the bed, where the carpet is least compressed, and order the nearer of the two.

Three corner treatments — same cloth, same platform

Our queen bed skirt is available in the tailored cut with mitred corners, the gathered cut at a 2.5:1 ratio, and the split corner cut for beds with footboards or posts. Same cloth, same platform, three corner treatments — pick the one that matches your bed style and frame configuration.

Queen bed skirt — sizes it does not fit

If your queen is an Olympic queen at 66 in. wide, this platform will be six inches narrow and the skirt will not sit square — that is a different footprint and a specialty size, see our Olympic queen bed skirt. If your bed is a platform frame with no box spring, there is nothing here for the decking to rest on, and the wrap-around or Velcro bed skirt fitting is what you need.

Frequently asked questions

What size platform does a queen bed skirt need?

60 × 80 in. — the exact queen mattress footprint. Ours is cut to that platform size, so the decking sits under the mattress without protruding or falling short.

What drop for a queen bed skirt?

Measure floor-to-top-of-base at the head of the bed. Standard box spring = 15 in.; taller modern base = 18 in.

Do queen bed skirts fit Olympic queens?

No — Olympic queen is 66 in. wide, six inches wider than standard queen. Use the specific Olympic queen cut instead.

Can I use a queen bed skirt on a platform bed?

No — platform beds have no box spring. Use a wrap-around or Velcro bed skirt instead.
