Not what I expected. The skirt has an elastic which goes all the way around the bed, which I thought would be great because I have a temperpedic mattress.  The head and foot raises, there is a bar at the foot of the bed, so I wasn't able to buy the traditional bed skirt. This skirt slides all over the place. Sometimes in the morning it's lying on the floor. They come with little pins to reinforce. The needle that would go in to the mattress, is a little thick. I don't want to ruin my $5,000.00 Bed with little holes in the mattress which would void the lifetime warranty.
