I think I could even make the fitted sheet for box springs work for our Sleep Number bed. They are attached to the mattress in the center. But a slit cut from the top and tie the ends together could work! I don't care where the blanket falls on the bed. I just want it wide enough to cover 2 people in a king size bed with enough extra on the sides to snuggle in; instead of fighting over it.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe put it on upside down but that would be a job you would only want to do once.

I took a hot glue gun and glued some fabric to the top of my box springs because I'm lazy. It peels off easily for washing (which I admit I don't wash it very often - again, lazy. I'd rather quilt!). I think when I'm ready to change the dust ruffle, I'll glue sections of Velcro to the box springs and the fabric, so it can just pull off. I kind of like the idea of putting a fitted sheet on the box springs, but then that ugly frame would still show. So I'm back to dust ruffles.
Regarding how low I like my quilts to be, our bed is a king size extra-deep mattress with a pillowtop. I feel like the Princess and the Pea when I climb up on it at night. So a king size quilt at 110" square hangs to the bottom of the mattress on both sides, which is just fine by me.

Especially for a king-size bed - I would go for a dust ruffle to cover the bottom mattress and have the quilt drop to about two inches longer/more than the height of the top mattress on three sides. I would have the 'top' just come up to the headboard and put the pillows on top of the quilt.
