If you like a lot of extra space while you snooze, you should think about investing in a California king mattress. The biggest of all the different types of mattresses available, a Cal king mattress measures 72 inches wide by 84 inches long. It’s the obvious choice for sleepers who toss and turn or frequently invite their kids or fur buddies into bed with them for a snuggle sesh. But before you start shopping for a luxurious large mattress, there are some key things to consider before you purchase. Read on for some helpful tips and tricks.
Will a California King Mattress Fit in My Room?
This may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s important to remember that California king sized beds and headboards (if you prefer a headboard) need ample space. Bare minimum, you should have at least a few feet of empty space around your bedframe and mattress to keep the flow of traffic moving and ensure your bedroom doesn’t look overwhelmed. Another thing to keep in mind is whether or not you plan on adding a bedroom set with nightstands and a dresser to your room, as that will take up extra floor space you’ll also need to plan ahead for. So, get out the measuring tape before you make any big decisions.
How Do I Decorate My California King Mattress?
Our main suggestion is to personalize it. There are an overwhelming number of choices out there when it comes to bed linens, so focus on what colors and themes appeal most to you. If you like to mix and match, purchase a duvet cover and sheets separately in hues that complement each other. An all-white or cream duvet cover allows you to mix up your accent pillows whenever you want a refresh. If coordination is the name of your game, shop for comforter sets that come with a cozy comforter and matching shams, all in one handy bag.
