How do you measure drop for bed skirt?

To measure the drop for a bed skirt, first determine the height from the top of the box spring or mattress down to the floor. Use a measuring tape to measure this distance, ensuring you account for any mattress thickness if it's included in the measurement. The drop length is the total distance you want the bed skirt to cover, typically ranging from 15 to 18 inches, depending on personal preference and bed frame height. Finally, ensure you consider any additional length if you want the skirt to pool slightly on the floor.
