Basic Components of the Bottom of Bed
Depending on the style you want to use to decorate the bottom of your bed, here are some componens you'll need to be mindful of when asking your manufacturer to make an item to cover your boxspring. Check them out!
Deck
The deck is made out of a 70/30 poly/cotton white fabric which spans the full width and length of the platform, holding the bottom of bed treatment in place. Decorative fabric is seamed to the platform to create the drop.
Deck Strip
An additional 3-4” of drop fabric added to 3 sides of the deck (sewn atop), minimizing the appearance when the box spring shifts or moves.
Bed Skirt
A cover that begins at the top of the box spring and finishes ½” off the finished floor. This covers the box spring and the space below to the floor.
Box Spring Cover
A cover that begins at the top of the box spring and covers only the box spring, typically by 1” or less. Anything below the box spring will remain uncovered.
Dimensions
Three measurements are needed for bottom of bed treatments; length, width and drop. Length (A) from head to foot and width (B) from one side to the other. The drop (C) is from the top of the box spring to the end of decorative fabric.
