<\/a>A California King is longer and a standard king sized bed is wider than the California King.<\/p><\/div>\n

Cal King vs King<\/h2>\n
A California King mattress is 72 inches wide by 84 inches long<\/strong>, unlike the standard size King (also referred to as an “eastern king”), which is 76 inches wide by 80 inches long<\/strong>. California King mattresses’ length makes it the longest standard mattress size.<\/p>\n It is important to know the sizes of these two types of mattresses so that you’re able to purchase a bedframe that will accommodate whichever mattress you own. In addition, the type of mattress that you own will dictate what type of linens you must get with it. Knowing the dimensions of the two mattresses will help prevent purchasing bed accessories that are incompatible with one another.<\/p>\n However, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between the California King and its standard counterpart. It may not dimensionally matter to you whether you own one or the other, but you should assess your needs before deciding what to buy.<\/p>\n 8″ Sweet Medium Firm Mattress<\/p><\/div>\n If you’re taller, at about 6 feet or over<\/strong>, the California King is designed for you so that your feet won’t hang off the bed. Rather than being forced to sleep diagonally, a California King bed allows you enough extra space to sleep comfortably at night. While its length is typically satisfactory for most, the California King’s length makes it a tighter fit in smaller rooms.<\/p>\n Two people who sleep on a King size mattress receive the same amount of sleeping space as if they were on two Twin beds<\/strong> right next to each other. The standard size King, however, which is four inches wider than the California King, is ideal for you if you’d like more room to sleep with kids or pets.<\/p>\n 12″ Ventura Cooling Airflow Gel Memory Foam Mattress<\/p><\/div>\n You may be leaning towards a California King, thinking its extended length is perfect for your sleeping style. However, it is more difficult to find accessories such as linens and comforters because the mattress size is not as popular as the standard King.<\/p>\n The California King has become increasingly popular in recent years but it\u2019s harder to find than the standard King. With its lower availability, California King beds are typically more expensive making the standard King better for if you\u2019re on a tighter budget.<\/p>\n You should ideally have at least two feet of space on each side of the mattress that isn’t touching the wall. Having this space in your room will prevent you from feeling crowded and that the mattress is taking up too much space. Narrow rooms are better suited for California King size beds and wider rooms are more suitable for the standard King.<\/p>\n Sign up here to get coupons on hot deals!<\/a><\/em><\/b><\/p>\n California King – The California King’s length makes it perfect for individuals who are taller and experience their feet hanging over the edge of the bed.
