Get 411 on King and California King Mattresses

 Ready to upgrade to a bigger bed? Having plenty of room is critical to a great nights sleep! If you’re considering upgrading, you’ll likely be upgrading to a king or California king mattress. It can be easy to assume that a California king is bigger, but you might be surprised to know the difference between the two. Read on to find out the differences from our furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks.



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. Eldon Furniture offers great bedding at the Lake of the Ozarks and we will ensure you have the correct bedding for your new mattress! 

Bedroom Set 

If you're planning to go from a queen mattress to a king or California king, your headboard and footboard likely won't fit your new mattress. We have a great selection of bedroom sets at our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store that will match your style and budget.
