Is a King Size Right For Me?
A king-size mattress is 16 inches wider than a queen-size mattress and also the same size as two twin XL mattresses pushed together.
The king-size mattress is ideal for a room that is at least 12 x 12 feet in order to comfortably accommodate your king-size bed.

Not quite. While two twin mattresses are the same width as a king mattress, they are 5 inches too short. However, two twin XL mattresses are the same size as a king mattress. This is known as a split king. A split king measures 76 X 80 inches, just like a standard king. Split king mattresses are best for:
* Using with a split adjustable bed frame (the most common reason to get a split mattress)
* Couples who have very different sleeping preferences and want two different mattresses
* Super light sleepers (split mattresses help eliminate motion transfer)
Purple's split king mattresses go especially well with the split king Purple Adjustable Base, an adjustable bed frame featuring a wireless remote to control your mattress. This high-tech bed frame also includes LED lighting, USB charging, massage mode, and zero-gravity mode for a true weightless sleep experience.
California king beds are longer and narrower than standard king beds. Let’s take a look at the difference in King vs Cal-King mattress sizes:
* King Mattress: 76 X 80 inches
* California King Mattress: 72 X 84 inches
The king mattress is wider than the Cal king, but it’s also shorter. For most sleepers, a king size bed mattress will do. The California king mattress size is designed especially for sleepers who are extra tall and need a few more inches of leg room. Another reason you might opt for the Cal king is to better accommodate your bedroom. For some bedrooms, a 76-inch mattress may be too wide. If you want spacious luxury without downsizing to a 60-inch queen, a California king is a good choice.

While the six standard mattress sizes suit most sleepers, some individuals may require a nonstandard bed size. Families who co-sleep with multiple children or pets and tall or heavier individuals may sleep better in a bigger bed. Keep in mind that most nonstandard bed sizes are much less common and typically only sold online or as custom made-to-order mattresses.
