The selection of a proper bed has become a process which needs careful deliberation as sleep has a direct impact on our mental and physical health.

What sets them apart from each other, is their dimensions. The dimensions of a California King is 72x84 inches, whereas that of King Size is 76x80 inches. Due to its greater length, California King is usually suggested for the taller than average bunch.
