OK, I was gonna try to do nuthin' but St. Patty's Day, but I was checkin' out some sheets on the internet for my bed. My damn fitted sheets are always comin' off of the mattress like they don't really fit. I am always lookin' for deep pockets, but deep pockets don' t seem to stay on all that well. I was wonderin' if maybe I have a Cal King bed. I am confused as to what the difference is between a King sized bed and a Cal King sized bed, though. So I went to http://www.ask.com and asked Jeeves: "what is the difference between a King sized bed and a Cal King sized bed?". All I got in response was a list of forkin' websites sellin' mattresses and sheets. George! There are at least a million search engines: my favorite bein' alltheweb. I was of the opinion and thought I recollected that Jeeves actually attempted to answer your questions, or did at one time? Am I mistaken? Oh to Hell® with answerin' that question -- just somebody tell me the difference between a King sized bed and a Cal King sized bed.
Posted by notGeorge at March 17, 2004 11:08 AMKing size is standard length, maximum width (I believe it is like two fulls wide). A California King (they never had one, only Emperor Norton) is the same width and several inches longer. To my knowledge there is no established mattress size for a tall skinny person who sleeps alone.
We have this dinky little clip things that stretch across the corner of the sheet (under the mattress) that hold it on. Really hard to describe but maybe I could photograph it if you care. You can attach them (and detach them) easily but they seem to stay on well.
