For full-size beds, the bed skirt dimensions are 75" L x 54" W x 18" Drop. This size offers more width than the twin size, making it perfect for double beds. The full-size bed skirt is commonly used in teenagers' rooms or smaller master bedrooms, providing elegant coverage for the bed base.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is the drop length important when choosing a bed skirt?
A: The drop length determines how far the bed skirt will hang from the top of the box spring to the floor. The standard 18" drop works for most beds, while cribs use a shorter 14-16" drop due to their lower height.
Q: Can I use a different size bed skirt on my bed?
A: It's not recommended to use a different size bed skirt as it won't fit properly and may result in excess fabric or inadequate coverage. Always match the bed skirt size to your mattress size.
Q: How do I measure for a bed skirt?
A: Measure the length and width of your mattress, and measure from the top of your box spring to the floor for the drop length. Use these measurements to select the appropriate bed skirt size.
