What is a "dust ruffle"?
A dust ruffle, also known as a bed skirt, is a piece of fabric that hangs down from the sides of a bed, covering the space between the mattress and the floor. It is often used to hide the bed's frame, storage underneath the bed, or any items placed there. Dust ruffles are usually made from materials like cotton, polyester, or linen and come in various colors and designs to match bedroom décor. They help add a finished, tidy look to the bed while also preventing dust from accumulating underneath.
Examples
