The purpose of a bed skirt is to give a stylish appearance to a bed without exposing the sides of the box spring or any space under the bed that may be used for storage.
Beds may have a headboard for resting against, and may have side rails and footboards (or footers). Headboard only beds may incorporate a dust ruffle, bed skirt, or valance sheet to hide the bed frame. To support the head, a pillow made of a soft, padded material is usually placed on the top of the mattress.
