Amazon Basics Light Grey King Pleated Bed Skirt

great

I’m not a bed skirt connoisseur. I think I had a frilly bed skirt on my bed as a teen, but I’ve managed to make it into my 40s without purchasing one on my own. However, my husband bought a metal platform bed frame for my son’s room, which was great because it has a lot of room underneath for storage containers but not so great because the metal legs look a bit cheap and you could see the plastic storage bins under the bed when you walked into the room. So, I decided that a bed skirt was needed.

When I started shopping, I was happy to find that a more modern pleated look is available. I learned that I would need to measure to figure out what drop I would need. Then, I learned that you usually would measure from the top of the box spring to the floor, but since we are using a platform bed without a box spring, I needed to measure from the top of the base to the floor. There are some differing opinions on whether or not a bed skirt should touch the floor, but most recommendations seem to be within a half inch give or take and an inch at the most. Since I measured just a tad over 16″, that narrowed my options down to 16″ pleated bed skirts, and the Amazon Basics one offered the lowest price at the time.

The bed skirt material is pretty thin, but the black color I purchased is not at all see through and does the job of covering up what is under the bed. After washing the bedskirt, it was relatively wrinkle free. But after use, it did get some wrinkles. Luckily, the black color does a pretty good job of camouflaging the wrinkles, and they aren’t really noticeable unless you are looking closely. That works for me, but this might not be the right pick if you are looking for something more tailored and pressed looking.

The hardest part was getting it on the bed. I managed to get the full size mattress into place alone, but I recommend having help if you can. I read some articles saying that a platform bed can cause some issues with the bed skirt slipping and tearing, but that hasn’t been an issue after a week of use. I have only had to do a tiny bit of adjusting, which is much better than expected. I think having rubber pads between the frame and the bed skirt helps. All in all, very happy with this purchase.

I had to iron this product before putting it on the mattress and the material is thinner than I expected. Other than that it looks beautiful on the bed and it also feels like and could pass for silk.

Good quality for bed skirt and great to hide stuff under Foldable Metal Platform Bed Frame. Little long for my 14 inches bed frame as its’s fall length is 16, else everything fine.

En general es un buen producto, bonito y bien presentado, buen color y suave al tacto, el único detalle es que viene muy arrugado y es un poquito más grande, de ahí en fuera, todo está muy bien.

These are nice and long and actually PURE WHITE>
