Snap-on Bed Skirt

Abstract

A snap-on bed skirt provides an easily installed and removed rigid vertical decorative covering for the sides of a box spring which extends to the floor. The skirt can be provided in a variety of rigid materials and can be decorated with a variety of colors, styles, and materials. The rigid vertical skirts 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, either supported by friction or horizontal supports placed between the box spring and mattress, under the box spring, or attached to the bed frame. The corners of the panels would be fastened to each other with corner fasteners.
