Abstract
A set of bed ruffles, preferably made of cloth, which has along its upper, unruffled border, i.e., perimeter, a mesh or screen, is disclosed. The mesh is, preferably, made of a durable, but flexible plastic. The mesh affixed to the ruffles is to be releasably attached to attachment means located on the box spring of the bed. Such attachment means are, preferably, a sphere which may either be permanently or temporarily affixed to the box spring or mattress of the bed. When a user wishes to decorate a bed with the ruffles of the present invention, a user need simply lift a portion of a top mattress and affix the mesh, having the ruffles, to the attachments means which would have been previously secured to the box spring. The mesh would be affixed around, usually, three sides of the perimeter of the box spring.
