The main difference between a standard King size and a California king mattress resides in both the length and width. A California king bed is slightly longer at 84 inches long and 72 inches wide. A standard king aka Eastern King’s 80 inches long by 76 inches wide.
Can’t by eastern king in a lot of places in California either
@Cerridwyn So it’s really a California thing? I had no idea.
@sammydog01

@Cerridwyn @sammydog01 Kings in California don’t have babies.
@medz @sammydog01

What is this Cal King I keep hearing about?
@therealjrn It’s a slightly longer slightly narrower size that no one sells. Are people from California taller? I dunno.

@sammydog01 I see. I never see anything like that. What do they call those twin mattresses that are extra long?
@therealjrn XL twins. I think 2 make a king? It’s the size college dorms use. I’ll be buying a set soon.
@sammydog01 You were already thinking ahead! That was going to be my next question.
@therealjrn Soon! Too soon.
@sammydog01 Yeahbuttcher not growing up…
@sammydog01 @therealjrn I’m surprised at the popularity. 80" seems plenty long for most people. Unless you’re 6’5" or taller, I wouldn’t bother.
