Abstract:
A dust ruffle structure sized and shaped to be positioned on and around a lower supporting structure and underneath an upper mattress on a bed comprising: a sheet of dust ruffle material, said sheet of dust ruffle material having a length long enough for embracing sides of the bed, and a friction fastening means, said friction fastening means having a non-slip, friction surface, said friction fastening means being secured along the length of the sheet of dust ruffle material at an upper edge thereof, whereby said upper edge of the sheet of dust ruffle material can then be tucked by a person's fingers a desired distance for placement underneath the upper mattress in between the upper mattress and the lower supporting structure, said desired distance being sufficient for enabling a weight of the upper mattress to compress against the friction fastening means, wherein the combination of said weight of the upper mattress and a friction force of said friction fastening means coact for keeping the dust ruffle structure securely in between the upper mattress and the lower supporting structure and further provide a resistance from pulling the dust ruffle structure out of an adjusted position, said non slip surface secured on an outer side along the upper edge of the dust ruffle structure.
