King vs. California King Bed
Are you tired of not having enough room when you sleep with your partner? It may be time for a new mattress! If you don't have enough space, you'll likely want to upgrade to a king mattress. A good quality mattress should last between seven and ten years so it's important to do your research on which type of mattress is best for you and your partner. For starters, do you know the difference between a king mattress and a California king mattress? The difference may surprise you. Today, our furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks would like to share with you the difference!
Some people are under the impression that there is really no difference between a king and a Califonia king mattress. There really is a difference in the size but it might not be what you expect. Most people assume that the word "California" means that the mattress is larger. While this is true, a California king is longer than a regular king mattress but the width is smaller.
Dimension Breakdown
King Bed
A standard king bed typically measures 80 inches long by 76 inches wide.
California King Bed
A standard California king bed typically measures 84 inches long and 72 inches wide.
Which is Best?
Deciding on which mattress size really depends on your sleeping preferences. If you or your partner are taller than six-foot, you may really enjoy having those few extra inches so your feet don't hang off the bed. However, if you or your partner are not particularly tall, a California king may not be necessary. If you move around a lot in your sleep, you may prefer having the extra width. Either way, if you're going from a queen mattress to a king or California king you will have much more room and be comfortable.
Don't Forget to Adjust Your Bedding!
If you opt for the California king, you will want to make sure to adjust which sheets you buy. The difference in dimension will affect how your sheets and comforters fit.
