Bed skirts used to be just one large piece with “decking,” meaning the skirt is attached to a mattress-size rectangle of fabric that rests between the mattress and box spring. It is now more common to have three separate sections of skirt that are easily tucked between the box spring and mattress and fixed in place with special pins.
And if you are concerned with style, one thing to keep in mind is that once fitted to a pillow or a mattress, sateen and percale cotton bedding keep its shape much better, resulting in a cleaner wrinkle-free look.
In bedding sheets, high thread count cotton bed sheets are key to achieving a good night’s rest. This is because higher thread counts result in a tighter cotton weave, making the fabric smooth and silky to the touch.
