What is the difference in size between a Cal King and a Reg King bed?
California king is longer and works better for tall people and is about eight inches narrower. Regular king is about double the size of a twin bed. Peace. California King is the same size as a king waterbed.
A California King Mattress is 72 inches × 84 inches (width x length) A Regular King Mattress is76 inches × 80 inches (width x length) California king mattress is suitable for tall people. A regular king mattress would be enough for most people. You may want to refer to the mattress size chart below if you are looking for other mattress sizes Hope it helps :)
Not enough to worry about.......maybe 4'', my calf. king is just about square, In fact, we rotate the mattress sometimes the other way...and it hangs over the box about 2''........good luck.......either is nice. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
a california king is 72 wide by 84 long - giving each person about 36 of bed width - which when you are sharing a bed isn't very much. regular king size bed is 76 wide by 80 long - giving you more space to spread out~lol. hubby and i tried both and ended up buying the regular king size bed -which is handy because the dog generally sneaks up in the middle of the night and curls up to sleep!!! lol
