The size of bedding designed for a California King bed generally measures 104 inches wide by 96 inches long. These measurements ensure adequate coverage and drape on a California King mattress, which is longer and narrower than a standard King.
Selecting the appropriate size bedding is crucial for both comfort and aesthetics. Overhang and proper fit contribute significantly to the overall appearance of the bed and the room. Historically, variations in mattress sizes existed, leading to standardization efforts that defined the specific dimensions now associated with the California King designation.
