I honesty have no idea. Up until I was 23 I had a twin bed, then I acquired another twin bed with the same mattress and wood frame, which I put together, then bought a strap to make them stay that way, then I bought a memory foam cover and a feather bed. Huge comfy bed for me.


No idea what real king size beds measure.

california king is bigger than 76x80. that's standard king size. 74x78 is almost a queen ffs.

here are the standard definitions.

I don't bother with king size beds, I had one once and my ex and I never had to touch again, which I know most married couples are like WOOHOO, get his ass outta my space!

but it ends up being lonely if you never accidentally touch.

Never actually read those tags, eh? It's not illegal for the purchasing customer to rip them off..

My wife has always crowded me in bed. She's not an accidental toucher, she craves it. I always start in the middle and end up on the edge. No matter the size.

maybe the problem is the tape measure, not the bed?

2 different tape measures 2200 miles apart measuring 2 different mattresses with same results

my friend sent me a pic showing how it didn't fit in the frame since it was too small

when she called me and told me the dimensions of her mattress i told her that was nuts and then mine was the same
