Before we can answer this question, we need to know which style of King sheets you are referring to.
There are two styles of bed sheets: flat sheets and fitted sheets. Flat sheets are usually larger in size. Please refer to the sample images below for the differences between these two styles.
Flat sheets do not have deep pockets, and they are usually larger in size. The extra edges need to be tucked under the mattress by yourself, or you can let them naturally drape over the sides of the bed.
Fitted sheets have deep pockets, and there is usually an elastic band around the edges. This allows the sheet to wrap tightly around the mattress, keeping it securely in place and preventing it from slipping off.
Can King-size fitted sheet perfectly fit a California King bed?
YES ! A California King mattress measures 73" W × 84" D, while a King-size fitted sheet measures 78" W × 80" D. Clearly, a King-size fitted sheet cannot properly fit a California King mattress, neither in length nor in width.
Can King-size flat sheet be used on a California King bed?
All right. King-size flat sheet measures 105" W × 102" D, which can perfectly fit a California King mattress. The extra fabric can naturally drape over the sides of the bed or be tucked neatly under the mattress.
How to choose the right fitted sheet for a California King mattress?
You need to read the product information carefully and choose a fitted sheet that matches the California King size or is slightly larger. When purchasing 100% cotton fitted sheets, keep in mind that cotton tends to shrink after washing. Therefore, you should select a sheet that is slightly larger than 73" W × 84" D.
Additionally, make sure you know the height of your California King mattress. Choose a fitted sheet with a pocket depth greater than or equal to your mattress height so that the sheet can fully cover the sides of the mattress.
