Reducing Dust With a Full Bedskirt

The next logical question is: what's a bedskirt? It has a few primary purposes. One is to hide the bed's box-spring mattress. Bedskirts can also reduce the amount of dust the accumulates underneath the bed, which in turn reduces the number of dust mites that congregate there. Another purpose of a bedskirt is to conceal the stuff that stored underneath the bed. Boxes and other items stored there can become quite unsightly.

Also, you should consider various characteristics of full-size bedskirts, when choosing one:

1. Color
Full-size bedskirts are available in a rainbow of light and dark colors. If you want more options when matching them up with beddings and decor, then choose a solid one over a printed one.
Also, light-colored bedskirts can create a see-through effect, and allow more dust to form underneath the bed. So if you choose a light color (such as light pink or yellow) make sure that the material is thicker, or that the bedskirt contains a lining.

2. Size
Never assume that a full bedskirt (or another size, for that matter) is the one that you need. Instead, it's crucial that you're 100% sure that you're getting the right one. So take sometime to use your trusty tape measure and verify that your bed is indeed a full-size bed. This can save you a whole lot of time, money, and effort that you'd waste by selecting a bedskirt of the wrong size.

3. Style
When choosing a bedskirt, you have several colors, patterns, and materials to choose from. Which one should you choose? Definitely consider the other bedding that you'll be using, as well as the existing decor in the room. Determine if your goal is to complement the beddings and decor, or create some contrast. When creating contrast, there should still be some uniformity. Otherwise, the design of the bedskirt will clash with the other designs. Yes, that's a bad thing!

4. Texture
Full-size bedskirts are available in a wide array of textures, ranging from smooth to puffy. One of the most important factors that determine the texture is the thread count of the material. Typically the higher the thread count, the softer and more plush the bedskirt will be. Also, a higher thread count results in a more durable bedskirt.
