Is a California King Size Mattress Right for You?

A California King mattress, aka Cal King mattress, is longer and more narrow than a traditional king size bed, but still approximately 12 inches wider than a Queen bed.

 

Are you, or someone who shares your bed with you, a taller person? Do you have fur babies that sleep at the foot of your bed? Do you want room to stretch out but have a narrower bedroom? If you answered yes to any of these questions and you are finding yourself tired of feeling cramped and uncomfortable in bed and longing for more space to stretch out and relax on, you might want to consider an upgrade to a California King size mattress.

How much do California King sized mattresses cost?

Should I buy a California King size mattress online or in-store?

It really comes down to your own personal shopping preference. Some people were born in the age of the internet and online shopping is what they know and are more comfortable with, while others prefer being in-person to shop so they can touch, feel and see the exact product they are investing in. So, there is no right or wrong way to shop for a mattress.
