Eastern (Standard) King Size Mattress: 76 inches wide x 80 inches long.

Western (California) King Size Mattress: 72 inches wide x 84 inches long.

If length is more important to you than width, the California King comes out on top. If the extra length is not required, the accommodating width of an Eastern King size mattress will be appreciated. Bed sheet sets should be purchased for the correct model bed. Standard King sets will not fit a California King size mattress, as the Standard fitted sheets will be too short.
