    A cali king takes 4 inches off the length and adds it to the width. As someone who also deals with feet hanging off, I prefer those inches to be on the length.

      Not that it matters since you can rotate, but you do have that backwards. They define the Cali King as the tall one and the King as the wide one.

        Unfortunately, that’s not how the maths math.

        King: 80x76

        Cali King: 84x72

        Rotating a king gets 76x80

            Indeed I am. On god no cap fr fr etc etc.

            I bet there’s a market for rotated cali king furniture for tall people.

            Side note: it’s been fun talking to someone who also ninja-edits all their comments to add additional clarity while the other is responding. Somehow the resulting conversation was still productive and readable.

            • I was super confused about that previous comment until I realized you thought I meant to rotate the regular king for more length, but then when I finally found the words and posted a reply, you had edited it and I just had to delete the whole thing anyway because now it wouldn’t make sense to anyone looking at the whole back and forth lol

                Similarly, you first posted only the first sentence of your response 🤣 also it turns out I was misinformed, and had king and Cali king dimensions swapped, because 2 of the first 5 duck duck go results gave me the wrong numbers. I haven’t edited those numbers since someone else called it out, and their response wouldn’t make sense if I did.
