Compatible With Most Bed FramesWhat is the difference between a king and California king?A king size bed (sometimes called an Eastern King) is the widest mattress with dimensions of 76 inches wide by 80 inches long.A California king sized bed, on the other hand, has dimensions of 72 inches wide by 84, which makes it the longest mattress. You've probably heard of both a king sized mattress and a California king, but what you may not be aware that there are some differences between the two.
So what's the difference between these mattresses? Is one larger than the other? What are the reasons to choose one over the other?Let's explore the differences between the king (also known as an eastern king) and the California king (also known as west coast king, Cal king, western king or WC king.) You will learn why some folks prefer one type over the other, the pros and cons of both mattresses, and how to find sheets to fit (and why finding sheets for one of these mattresses can be a pain.) Choosing a Mattress for Your HeightIf you've guessed that a king and Cali king differ in size, you're absolutely correct! These two mattresses really differ in their dimensions. One is longer but narrower than the other. A regular king sized bed is 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, while the California king is 72 inches wide and 84 inches long.A standard king may be too short for taller people (you don't want to sleep with your feet dangling off the end!) Since the California king is narrower, but longer than a regular king, this bed is much better for tall folks.
Don't be turned off by the narrower width of the California mattress! A queen sized bed is 60 inches wide and the Cali king is 12 inches wider, so it's still a huge bed! This bed is also great if you're putting it in a room with dimensions that would better suit a more narrow bed than the standard king.If you're not super tall, you might want to really consider opting for a standard king. This is because of one big issue: bedding. Which would you prefer? A king sized mattress - I want the wider bed A California king mattress - I want the longer bed I'm not sureSee results Finding Sheets to Fit a California KingSheets for a king sized mattress are a cinch to find. However, one of the biggest drawbacks to the California king is that it can be hard to find sheets that will properly fit. It's almost impossible to find sheets in a department store in the correct size and sheets for a regular king bed won't fit (they're way too short.)If you have a Cali king bed, your best bet is to shop around in-store for sheets that you like.
Get a feel for the fabric and thread count and then see if the company makes sheets specifically for your mattress size. If the store doesn't carry them, you can usually special order them in-store or even just write down the brand/type of sheets and shop online when you get home! Alternatively, you could have sheets custom made to fit your mattress.Since finding sheets for a California king can be so problematic, it might serve you better to get a standard king unless the length of the bed really is a big issue.King mattresses are a great solution for the master bedroom, as the extra room can create a more luxurious sleep experience. Couples sleeping on a king mattress with different comfort preferences can choose to use two Twin XL mattresses in place of one king mattress. This way, each sleeper has a mattress to meet their specific comfort needs. Serta produces a wide variety of king mattresses featuring both innerspring and all-foam support systems. A Serta king mattress measures approximately 76" x 79.5".
These measurements can vary by +/- 1/2". Size availability varies by product and retailer. Mattress heights vary by product, so please see your retailer for information on specific model height. Select retailers offer a special size called a California king mattress for select models, which measures approximately 72" x 83.5". Please see your local retailer about availability of Serta California king, or "Cal king", mattresses. One of the most important factors in achieving a better nights sleep is comfort. With this in mind it is important to consider the amount of actual sleep space you will have available on your new mattress. In general, the mattress should be longer and wider than the amount of space you or you and your sleeping partner take up when laying on it. For two adults it is recommended to sleep on a queen or king mattress size. The following illustrations are a general guide to help you make the best decision. Twin Mattress Size 39''x 75'' (inches) Twin bed size is generally made to accommodate one child or one adult sleeper.
On occasion when you need to lay with your child it should accommodate, but will be a bit crowded. If you are a taller adult you may want to consider a twin-XL which will give you added length. Twin (also referred to a ‘single’) is great for smaller guest spaces, bunkbeds, and daybeds. Twin XL Mattress Size 39''x 80'' (inches) Twin XL bed size (Extra-Long) is 5 inches in length longer than the standard twin. This size is great for taller youth or adults. Twin-XL is the same length as a queen or king, In fact two of them side by side equals a king. Full Mattress Size 54''x 75'' (inches) Full bed size, also known as a ‘double/standard’, was commonly used for two adults 30 - 40 years ago when the homes and bedrooms were built much smaller. Now it is usually purchased for single person use and sometimes smaller guest rooms. It is a tight fit for two adults and the same length as a twin. Two adults sleeping on a full size is equivalent to each person sleeping on a crib mattress (27 inches of sleep space).
