<p>In the realm of mattress sizes, the California King bed stands out for its distinctive dimensions. If you&#8217;re seeking a bed that combines length and luxury, the California King might be the perfect fit for your bedroom.</p>



<p>A California King bed measures 72 inches in width and 83.5 inches in length (183cm ×&nbsp;212cm) . This elongated size provides an additional 4 inches in length (10cm) compared to a standard King bed, making it an excellent choice for taller individuals or those who prefer extra legroom.</p>



<p>But there&#8217;s more to explore about California King beds. Let&#8217;s delve deeper into the specifics.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="california-king-size-bed-dimensions">California King Size Bed Dimensions</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><thead><tr><th>US Bed Size</th><th>Dimensions (Inches)</th><th>Dimensions (Imperial)</th><th>Dimensions (Metric)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>California King</td><td>72″ x 83.5″</td><td>6’0″ x 6’96”</td><td>183cm x 212cm</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="is-a-california-king-bigger-than-a-king">Is a California King Bigger than a King?</h2>



<p>When comparing a California King to a standard King bed, it&#8217;s important to note that the California King sacrifices width for additional length. While the King bed is wider, the California King takes the lead in length, offering a more elongated sleep surface.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-much-bigger-is-a-california-king-than-a-full">How Much Bigger is a California King than a Full?</h2>



<p>In contrast to a <a href="/what-is-a-full-size-bed">full size bed</a>, the California King is significantly larger. Full beds measure 53.5 inches in width and 74.5 inches in length (136cm × 189cm), making them more suitable for individuals or cozy sleeping spaces. The California King&#8217;s added dimensions bring a noticeable increase in both width and length, enhancing overall comfort.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="whats-bigger-california-king-or-texas-king">What&#8217;s Bigger: California King or Texas King?</h2>



<p>The California King and Texas King beds share similar dimensions in terms of width, both measuring 72 inches across (183cm). However, the Texas King surpasses the California King in length, boasting an impressive 80 inches (203cm). Choosing between them depends on your preference for width or length.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="is-a-california-king-the-same-size-as-two-twins">Is a California King the Same Size as Two Twins?</h2>



<p>While a California King bed is longer than two Twin beds combined, it falls short in width. Two <a href="/what-is-a-twin-size-bed">twin beds</a> side by side create a width of 76 inches (193cm), surpassing the 72-inch width (183cm) of the California King. Consider your priorities for space and sleeping arrangements when deciding between these options.</p>



<p>In summary, the California King bed offers a unique blend of elongated dimensions, catering to those who prioritize length without compromising on comfort. Whether you&#8217;re tall or simply appreciate the luxury of extra legroom, the California King is a distinct and stylish choice for your bedroom.</p>
