The Marquess Tailored Bed Skirt features a quilted diamond pattern that provides more physical weight and thickness than a standard single-layer fabric. This extra mass helps the skirt hang straight and acts as an effective shield against dust accumulating under the bed. The 14-inch drop is a standard clearance for most modern frames. Unlike platform skirts, this model wraps around the perimeter, which is a safer installation method for anyone wanting to avoid lifting a heavy king-sized mattress.
The structural integrity of this skirt depends on the tension of its elastic band. Practical reports indicate that the elastic can lose some of its memory if washed at temperatures above 40°C, which can lead to the skirt sagging or sliding. Additionally, the charcoal microfiber material can develop small pills of fabric in high-friction areas over time. For the best long-term results, it is recommended to air dry or use the lowest heat setting on your dryer.
If you require a mattress protector that also offers a cooling sensation rather than just a decorative skirt, the Ambesonne Cooling Protector provides functional coverage for the top of the bed.
