Interlocking three-piece bed skirt system and method

Abstract

A three-piece bed skirt comprising two side panels and a front panel is disclosed. The front panel may include two corner foot flaps located at opposing ends of the front panel. The front panel, two side panels, and two corner foot flaps are capable of being interconnected and interlocked at their respective perimeters by hook and loop fasteners. These same fasteners can be used to secure the front panel, two side panels, and two corner foot flaps to the perimeter of an underlying box spring.
