How to hide a metal bedframe and box springs without a bedskirt?

I have a king size iron bed that I really like, but I HATE having to have a bedskirt to hide the metal frame and box springs. I like the ease of changing sheets without a bedskirt getting caught up in it all, but then the box springs and frame on the side show because on one makes a long or wide enough quilt or comforter to hide that, with the new thicker mattresses, and then it looks ugly. Has this bothered anyone else and is there a solution??? HELP!

    You could put a fitted sheet over the box springs, but that doesn't help with the frame. Is it an iron frame (which might look neat) or just a functional spanner (which isn't too cute)?

    acm....it's just a functional spanner, but

    the frame doesn't bother me as much as the box springs, except for the feet of the bed. . I'd thought about the fitted sheet, but it's SO hard to find sheets separately today. You used to be able to buy just a fitted sheet or flat sheet, now they're mainly sold in sets. Thanks for your input.

    bed bath and beyond sells them separately and they'll ship to a store if they are out of what you want. i'd not worry about matching your existing sheets, go with whatever solid will just disappear, could be dark or beige for your floor.

    Google "box spring cover" as they are available from many retailers. Like your comforter/duvet cover.

    Agree with the box spring cover -- I've seen them online. Another thought is to look for a bedspread rather than a comforter. Be sure to check dimensions, but in my experience bedspreads, unlike comforters, are often designed to reach the floor.

    Thank you all...I'll be looking for the box spring cover in a neutral. But then I've got those ugly supports. ugh. Might just make my own bedskirt and use upholstery pins to tack it to the box spring.....and use drapery weights so perhaps it'll hang better and not get caught up in the sheets when I change them!

    Oops....the easy fit bedskirts are a great idea....but they don't have split corners for the frame. :-(

    I have a similar issue with an oddly-sized vintage bed and frame. I went with a fitted sheet (sold separately at Target) in brown over the box spring, and it blends in nicely with the wood tone. Such a simple and inexpensive solution, but I hadn't thought of it before a few helpful Houzzers mentioned it! :D

    I see this is an old post, but if you are still interested.... I know pottery barn sells sheets as sets and separately, at least they did last time I was in a store. If you wanted a box spring cover to match your sheets, you could buy the set, then extra fitted sheet to match to cover box spring.

    I used the top sheet, instead of the fitted sheet.. as a bed skirt.

    con: changing to match the bed sheet every time

    If you use a white top sheet you would rarely need to change it

    I used a fitted sheet over the box spring, but it was not deep enough to also wrap around the frame also, to hide it. I think an extra deep fitted sheet would have accomplished that. A flat sheet is also a great idea.

    I like to get comforters or coverlets the next size up so there is enough drop on both sides, and end. Easy to do with a queen, use a king. We will be gettig a king, so I will be figuring out how to upsize from a king.

    Great ideas above, thanks.
