A regular king sized mattress is 76 wide and 80 long while the california king is 72 wide and 84 long.
Can you fit a king mattress on a california king frame.
These two mattresses differ in their dimensions.
The frame will hold your bed since it s bigger but some of the frame will be sticking out.
California king sized bed frames typically measure 72 inches wide and 83 5 inches in length.
You can easily spot the difference because it is longer and narrower than a king sized bed.
This is the difference between a regular and a california king so a king size headboard would be 2 wider on each side but should work.
We currently have a california king bed.
Filling the bed frame if your king size bed frame is a headboard with a metal rails type of bed frame then you can accommodate the larger mattress by replacing the king size rails with longer.
We are getting a king bed from some friends but it is only the mattress and the box springs no frame.
It is perfect for those who think that 78 8 inches width of a king bed is too much.
I am trying to find out if you can fit a king bed into a california king frame.
