Can You Fit A King Mattress On A California King Frame

You can easily spot the difference because it is longer and narrower than a king sized bed.

Can you fit a king mattress on a california king frame.

I am trying to find out if you can fit a king bed into a california king frame. 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. A regular king sized mattress is 76 wide and 80 long while the california king is 72 wide and 84 long.

These two mattresses differ in their dimensions. Your queen mattress is only 60 inches wide but it is also 80 inches long. The frame will hold your bed since it s bigger but some of the frame will be sticking out. The key to making this work is to make it look like it s intentional by turning it into a platform bed.

We are getting a king bed from some friends but it is only the mattress and the box springs no frame. 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.
