This spring is bringing whimsical colors, botanical patterns, and the right time for a bedding refresh. At Eastern Accents, we love to pair bed skirts or box spring covers with our collections. These stylish, yet functional pieces create a long-lasting, finished look to the bed.
While box spring covers and bed skirts both offer a solution to hiding the box spring, they function a bit differently. Here, we’re breaking down the differences between the two and helping you choose which is best for your bed.
Bed Skirts
Traditional, classic, and refined—a bed skirt is both functional and stylish. They’ve stood the test of time and still have a place in the interior design world today.
A bed skirt serves to hide the box spring and side rails. Plus, the drop covers the length to the floor, leaving under the bed out of sight. This makes bed skirts the perfect pair for under-the-bed storage, neatly tucking it away.
Romantic Ruffles
See bed skirts in action with collections like Manderley. The skirt offers a charming and whimsical look, perfect to pair with Manderley’s soft chartreuse colors and romantic aesthetic. Ruffled and elegant, this green linen bed skirt coordinates with the collection’s accents to make a bold statement.
Versatile Neutrals
Opting for a less colorful look? Bed skirts don’t have to be extravagant. Explore straight cut styles and classic colors, like our Alaia Bed Skirt in Edris Ivory. This ivory bed skirt makes an easy yet traditional addition to a variety of collections.
Bed skirts add a polished finishing touch to the bed-scape, making everything feel cohesive—down to the very last detail.
Box Spring Covers
Contemporary and chic, modern and streamlined—the box spring cover is a simple option to disguise the look of the box spring without added frills or fuss. This fabric cover spans all 4 sides of the box spring, held with elastic at each corner and with a 3’’ decking border along the top. This makes for a sleek and subtle bedding addition.
They don't go all the way to the floor, but will neatly keep the box spring covered and protected. These covers also keep a box spring clean and protected from damage, extending their lifespan.
Cap vs. Wrap
Browsing our site, you will notice Eastern Accents makes two different kinds of box spring covers. Both acheive the same look, but function slightly differently.
A box spring cap is constructed with decorative fabric on the sides and lining fabric across the top. It will sit on your box spring like a cap! This style will require you to remove the mattress before fitting it onto your box spring. (Ex. Adler Natural Box Spring Cover)
A box spring wrap only covers the sides of a box spring, no lining required! Elastic banding holds the decorative fabric snuggly in place. Learn more about box spring wrap set up and care here. (Ex. Reinhart Fitted Box Spring Wrap) Check out our Youtube video below for more information on Box Spring Wraps!
While a more straight forward alternative, this doesn’t mean box spring covers can’t have a bit of fun...
Manderley's Box Spring Cover
While a more straight forward alternative, this doesn’t mean box spring covers can’t have a bit of fun... We also offer a signature green box spring cover if you want to add a more modern touch to Manderley. This makes for the same bolder statement, but a little more discrete. Just subtly tying in Manderley’s springtime sage, this box spring cover completes the elegant look.
Find Your Look
Keep it classic with a neutral like Matera White Box Spring Cover. This subtle quilting pattern adds softness and texture, while the breezy white makes it a perfect pair with nearly any collection.
Or embrace color and patterns with a checkered box spring cover like Malaya in Petal. Available in a range of color-ways, these breezy and bright covers bring in a subtle touch of fun.

FAQs
How do you clean a box spring cover?
To keep it looking fresh, Eastern Accents recommends to just lightly vacuum the sides to remove any dust, hair, or debris that may have accumulated.
Can I customize the length of a bed skirt?
Yes, all our skirts can be customized to fit your bed perfectly. The standard drop (height) is 16 inches, but you can select a custom drop length when ordering line for an upcharge.
