What a great idea to make bed skirts...out of any fabric. I have always had ones that fit over the box spring but when I I want to change them I have to get family to lift the mattress off the queen size bed. Going to make me a nice white one now to tuck between them. Why didn't I think of that? They have some with elastic sides but I really think this would hold much better on my wonderful...but heavy to lift mattress. It is a pillow top mattress.

I use this in my guest bedroom because I like to change the quilts often and hate the bed skirts that require you to lift the whole mattress to remove. I use this method for my bedroom also.
