I've got a new king size mattress and box spring set.  The mattress is latex and is very heavy, there is no way I can lift the mattress to put the bedskirt under the mattress.

Any tips on doing this.  Do they make a bedskirt that is cut out in the center so I can just tuck it around the edges?

    		Saba, I am glad I could help since I looked everywhere for a bed skirt that I would not have to lift my mattress up to take on and off and I wanted one that I could wash often.  We all help each other.  :)   Others have helped me so I try to help others.

    		Lynn, what a great idea! I didn't know such things existed. When I my mattress was delivered I made the guy wait while I slipped my bedskirt on before he put the mattress in place. But eventually you have to take it off to launder and then you have to find someone with muscles to help you put it back on. Thanks for the heads-up!
