California King vs. Queen
Home » Beds » California King Beds » California King vs. QueenOne thing that is important to determine is what size bed you actually need and want. There are a variety of factors that can play a role in this decision. One of those factors is sleeping space. Let’s consider that a twin size mattress, which is made to accommodate a single sleeper, is 39” wide. This will give us a guide as to how much room a sleeper actually has in each of the other bed choices. In comparing a California King Bed and a Queen bed, it is vital that one understand the dimensions of each. The standard Queen bed is 60” wide x 80” long, which gives the sleeper 30” of sleeping room (width), which is actually 9” less than what they would have were they sleeping in a twin bed alone. When one considers reality in these terms, this specifically, the difference between a Queen and California King Bed is enormous. A Western/California King bed is 72” wide x 84” long, which offers the sleeper 36” of sleeping room in width and 4” more in length. Night after night of six more inches in width, and four more in length, can mean quite a bit to some sleepers, especially tall sleepers. So, understanding these measurements and your needs is highly valuable before you begin your shopping. Every sleeper has preferences and if room and length are two of yours, then a California King Bed is most likely your best option.
