California King Bedding???

15 years ago

We have a California King size bed and oh my, I am having a terrible time finding a comforter set to fit it. Does anyone know where I can find these in the internet or at a change stores?...looked at all the local stores and the just don't carry that size. THANKS

Where do you live? Here in California, it's practically all that is on the shelves. Very hard to find regular king bedding.

If you can't find it locally, you will find it online probably everywhere.

BTW, the comforter and the shams are the same size. It's only the bedskirt and the sheets that are a different size.

Only bedskirts and fitted sheets are different in size. Regular king is used otherwise, just like snookums said.

OK, I understand and it makes sense. Sometimes, on these forums its easy to forget that its not just forum members and GW that can read posts. I'll try the other ways suggested. Thanks for all your time and the explanations. I've done some googling and I'm not seeing what would be expected from Zlob. No popups, nor sites that pop up telling me I've been infected and click here to remove. and I haven't been to any porn sites, unless you'd call searching for California King bedding on legitimate sites porn. What I am seeing is cursor not responding properly, and sometimes getting a strange mssg. on AVG antispy saying "connect to server" when I'm already connected and trying to run a search. Still under warranty but Best Buy Geek said it would take 7-10 days to diagnose. Yikes! Think I'll buy a new mouse in hopes that will help. I'm a Bills fan, so used to hoping for miracles. Thanks again, all. Sandy

california king headboard

Have you considered Pottery Barn's Lewis headboard? It's a simple, slipcovered one that is a great background for any decorating style. It's wonderfully comfortable for reading in bed, too. I've found that with a simple change of slipcover, the room can be transformed any time I like. New slipcover fabrics for it come out all the time. I often find new slipcovers very inexpensively on eBay, too.

Top loader washer needed
Q
Comments (11)
I've had a Speed Queen top load washer for 6 months now. I'm pretty happy with it. It's built sturdy which is rare these days. The hot water cycle is true tap hot. What I don't care for on it is that it doesn't have a heater to boost the temp up to super hot and cold water washes (which I never use) are true tap cold as well. Being in Los Angeles that isn't really a problem as the cold water isn't freezing cold like it is here. Some washers mix the tap cold with some hot to bring the cold up to more of a room temperature for better rinsing. I rinse in 38 degree water which I don't care for. Won't be a problem for you though. I've read nice things about the Fisher and Paykel washers here on this board. Wish I knew about them earlier to include in my choice making process.

Ditto on the previous two: only the bedskirt and fitted sheet are different.

Good sources for CA King sheets -- The Company Store, also Tuesday Morning usually has them. Also The Company Store sells oversized comforters which can be handy for a CA King so you get a few more inches to play with.

I've had good luck finding California King sheets at Overstock.com.

California King is also called Western King.

We live in Kansas and would have no problem finding a regular size...maybe I'll have to make a trip west..LOL

Yes, I do know that the king and cal. king are the same size for the comforter, but I need the bed skirt...and that is where I am having problems. I had even thought of getting one that has a inverted pleat in the front...taking the pleat out...slitting the part that goes on the mattress, inserting about a 5" strip to make it wider (wouldn't show since it would be covered up) and sewing it back up. Do you think this would work?

I have looked on Overstock and couldn't find anything that was to my taste. I should have gotten one several months ago that I liked there, but now it is sold out. I made my last one, but just am not able to do that again.

Thanks for your help...and keep them coming...maybe someone will have another idea.

Try JCPenney, Linens and things, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Walmart, Macy's, etc. basically any store that sell stuff in CA will have it available to buy, just need to order it most likely.

Bought my Cal King sheets at Tuesday Morning; maybe check there too for skirts? Had no luck at WalMart for Cal King sizes.

I have tried several Tuesday Morning stores, but I need the entire set....I do have the sheets...no problem finding them. Penney's usually have one style in a catalog, but they are usually "too formal" for what I am wanting. I have also tired BB&B, Target, Walmart, Dillard's...but will keep searching.

I did something similiar as to what you were thinking about doing. I took a king, cut it in half lengthwise, took another (think it was a double) and took the middle of out it and sewed it to the two pieces of king. I have the same problem as you except we have two California twin Temperpedic mattresses that are put together. Even the comforters aren't really big enough but King bedspreads are too wide. King sheets aren't wide enough either. Can't figure out why if the bedspreads are too wide. I haven't beena ble to find anyplace that sells the sheet sets or comforters for the Temperpedic.

Phoggie, did you look at BB&B online? They carry Cal King.
