Mattress sizes correlate to their names, which means a California king-size mattress should have the same dimensions regardless of the brand you choose. California king mattresses, sometimes called Cal king mattresses, are the largest mattress size that is regularly stocked by retailers.
King-size mattresses are 76 inches wide and 80 inches long. California king mattresses are 72 inches wide and 84 inches long. The key difference here is length. If you or your partner are tall and often sleep with your feet hanging off the foot of the bed, you might benefit from a California king mattress. The extra length will make you more comfortable and allow you to stretch out.

Best California King Mattress Types for Your Sleep Style
The first step when choosing a bed is knowing the California king mattress measurements. The next step is to choose the mattress type based on your sleep style. Here are a few different options based on how you sleep.
➥ Back Sleepers: Choose a firmer mattress that will provide enough support.
➥ Side Sleepers: Look for softer mattresses so you can rest your joints.
➥ Stomach Sleepers: Opt for firmer mattresses so your head don’t sink too far in. These mattresses can also support your spine.
➥ Hot Sleepers: Look for cooling technology that moves heat away from your body.
➥ Sleepers who toss and turn: Choose a mattress that limits the spread of motion so you don’t wake up your partner.
There’s a science to choosing the right mattress so you feel comfortable in your home. Older sleepers and people who are heavier might benefit from firmer mattresses so you can get in and out of bed easier. Medium firmness in mattresses is often preferred by couples who compromise based on their different sleep styles. Choose the option that works for you.
