Alternatives to Bed Skirts: Modern & Easy Upgrades

As travel picks up and guests return, leave last year behind and upgrade the look of your beds. Read on for affordable bed skirt alternatives that are easy to implement and launder.

Bye, Bye, Bye Bed Skirts!

Bed skirts have long been a staple in hotels. They can bring a pop of color or texture into the room. However, the hospitality industry is seeing a shift toward platform beds to hold mattresses, and forgoing the bed skirt altogether. Guests love that “at home” look, even when traveling. And while we’ve seen the overall appearance of bed skirts modernize and become more aesthetically pleasing, housekeepers find bed skirts notoriously difficult to keep looking fresh and clean.

Affordable Alternatives to Bed Skirts & Platform Beds

That said, a shift toward platform beds can be expensive. With the other challenges of this past year, perhaps you also had to remove decorative elements in your rooms for increased cleanliness protocols and you are looking for ways to safely add design elements back in. If you’d like to upgrade the look of your bed, but don’t have the budget for a costly platform bed, here are two affordable alternatives:

• Circa^® Bed Wrap – The look of a platform bed without the expense. Easy to install around your hotel bed’s existing bed frame for a clean, modern look.
• Encircle^® Box Spring Cover – A new, budget-friendly option to cover up box springs that’s quick and easy for one housekeeping team member to remove for laundering.

Both the Circa^® Bed Wrap and Encircle™ Box Spring Cover offer:

• Various stock color offering with customizations available
• Quick, easy one-person installation
• Fits on existing beds and box springs
