Snap-on bed skirt

Abstract

A snap-on bed skirt provides an easily installed and removed rigid decorative covering for the sides of a box spring and extends to the floor. The skirt can be provided in a variety of fabrics, colors and styles, and can be quickly installed or removed. Depending upon the design and placement of the bed, two to four panels can be installed. These panels are carefully crafted for a snug and rigid fit on the box spring, but are made of flexible fabric from the upper edge of the box spring to the floor, to accommodate most bed frames. The corners of the panels would be fastened to each other with removable fasteners. The device would be supported vertically by tension, or optionally by supports located between the mattress and box springs, under the box springs, or on the bed frame.
