It doesn't take 'NBA player" tall to run out of height on a bed.

I voted CA king; I'm 6'5".

My wife and I have a queen sized bed. This is the size bed we've always slept in since we got married.

My wife and I have a queen. When we do buy a new bed it will be a standard king.

Provided you always intend to be alone in it...

Then again I don't think that describes "most people".

 

[Miramonti]

Two people in a queen is smaller per person than one person in a twin. That's not enough space for me.

 

[Uppsala9496]

king because it will be easier and cheaper to get sheets.

I had a CA King in the past and finding sheets for a reasonable price sucked.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

I have a king and I love it.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I like the extra length that a Cal king offers
<--6'1"

 

[Gunslinger08]

I'm 6'4" so I guess I'll probably go with the CA king.

The wife and I debated this for a bit before getting our standard king but in the end sheets are easier to find and I'm 6'3" and fit fine on one.

This is true for more than just bed size.

I thought the only difference was that a California king was a little longer and a little narrower? We have a regular king, and I much prefer the extra width. I'm ~6'1" and have plenty of space. I might go for the Cali king if I were a few inches taller.

im 6'3" and i have the king. took me a while to get used to feeling the edge of the bed all the time. i sleep alone (unless my kids invade in the middle of the night) and its nice to have all that stretch space. i do miss the room space tho, i have injured myself tripping over dressers before. and i thought the cal king wa s bit wider, same length... i now have no idea what the difference is.

California king is longer and narrower than the regular king.

hehe i saw that link and schooled meself, thanks. i still think i would prefer the king tho, im used to feeling the seam at the bottom. if i squish my pillows up by the headboard i dont feel it, so its not really a problem. width pwns length for me i guess.

If your over 6 feet consider Ca King .... otherwise a regular King is a better choice.

Yep, you seem to be the only one who is having an issue.

I have a California King

Bed size is irrelevant to legomen. They just add more bricks if it gets too small.

 

[jjones]

I don't really care as long as it's king size. We have a cal king because there always seems to be more options to purchase sheets and comforters for cal king.

If I ever get a relationship with this six foot blonde I've been eyeballing, I'll need at least a king.

And she'll need a Baby B'Jorn to carry your ass around the grocery store.
