Where Can You Buy a California King Bed in NZ?
If you're looking for a California King bed in New Zealand, you may have already discovered that they can be surprisingly hard to find.
Queen, King and Super King beds are widely available throughout New Zealand, but California King beds are offered by fewer bed retailers and manufacturers.
The good news is that California King beds are available in NZ - you just need to know what you're looking for and where to find one.
Where can I buy a California King bed in New Zealand?
California King beds are available from selected New Zealand bed manufacturers and specialist bed retailers.
Luxury Orthopaedic Beds manufactures its Orthopaedic Merino Bed in California King size right here in New Zealand.
Our California King is available as a complete mattress and base and comes with your choice of four different comfort levels:
Soft · Medium · Firm · Extra Firm
This means you don't have to choose a different bed simply because you want a particular feel. You choose the California King size and then select the comfort level that suits you.
We deliver our beds throughout New Zealand.
What size is a California King bed in NZ?
One of the most important things to check before buying a California King is its exact dimensions.
That's because the term California King can refer to different dimensions in different countries - and even between some New Zealand suppliers.
Always check the actual measurements of the mattress and base rather than relying on the name alone.
Our Luxury Orthopaedic Beds California King measures [2030mm x 2030mm approx].
This is particularly important when buying sheets, mattress protectors, headboards or other bedding for your new bed.
Why are California King beds harder to find in NZ?
California King beds aren't purchased in the same volumes as Queen, King or Super King beds, so not every bed retailer chooses to offer them.
They also require more bedroom space and are generally chosen by people specifically looking for a very large sleeping surface.
That can make shopping for one a little different from shopping for a standard bed size.
Rather than visiting store after store, it's often easier to find a California King by searching specifically for California King beds in NZ and checking the manufacturer's dimensions before purchasing.
California King vs Super King - what's the difference?
If you're considering a California King, you've probably also looked at a Super King.
Both provide significantly more sleeping space than a standard Queen, but the right choice depends on your bedroom, how much personal sleeping space you prefer and the exact dimensions offered by the manufacturer.
A California King can be particularly appealing for:
-
couples who like plenty of personal sleeping space
-
taller or larger sleepers
-
people who dislike feeling crowded in bed
-
families where children occasionally climb into bed
-
couples whose pets sleep on the bed
-
anyone with a large master bedroom who wants a bed to match the scale of the room
Before deciding between the two, measure your bedroom and compare the actual mattress dimensions, not just the bed-size names.
How big should your bedroom be for a California King?
A California King is a substantial bed, so the mattress fitting into the room isn't the only consideration.
You should also allow enough room to comfortably walk around the bed, open wardrobes and drawers, use bedside tables and access doors.
Before ordering, mark out the dimensions of the California King on your bedroom floor.
Painter's tape can be useful for this.
It gives you a much better idea of how the bed will actually feel in the room than simply looking at the measurements on a screen.
Remember to allow for the dimensions of your bed base and any headboard you plan to use as well.
Is a California King worth it?
For the right bedroom and the right sleepers, it certainly can be.
A bigger bed gives each person more room to find their preferred sleeping position without feeling as though they're constantly moving into their partner's space.
For couples, that extra personal space can be one of the biggest attractions of moving up to a California King.
However, bigger isn't automatically better.
If a California King makes your bedroom cramped or leaves very little space around the bed, a King or Super King may be the better choice.
The aim should be to find the largest comfortable bed for both you and your room, rather than simply buying the largest size available.
Can you get different firmness levels in a California King?
Yes.
At Luxury Orthopaedic Beds, our California King Orthopaedic Merino Bed is available in:
Soft
Medium
Firm
Extra Firm
The bed combines orthopaedic support with the natural comfort of New Zealand merino wool.
This gives customers looking for a California King the ability to choose not only a larger bed, but also the comfort level they prefer.
Can you buy California King sheets and bedding in NZ?
Yes, although there is generally less choice than you'll find for Queen and King beds.
This is another reason why checking your mattress measurements is important.
Don't assume that bedding labelled "California King" will automatically fit every California King mattress sold in New Zealand.
Check the dimensions of the fitted sheet, mattress protector and mattress before ordering.
The depth of your mattress matters too, particularly when choosing fitted sheets.
Can a California King bed be delivered around New Zealand?
Yes.
Luxury Orthopaedic Beds supplies California King beds to customers throughout New Zealand.
Because a California King mattress and base are considerably larger than standard bed sizes, it's worth considering access before delivery.
Check:
-
door widths
-
hallways
-
staircases
-
tight corners
-
lifts in apartment buildings
-
access to the bedroom
If you're unsure whether a California King will fit through a difficult access point, discuss this before ordering.
Should you buy a California King mattress only or a complete bed?
That depends on the base you already have.
If you already own a suitable California King base that correctly supports your new mattress, you may only need to replace the mattress.
If you're changing bed sizes or aren't sure whether your existing base provides the correct support, purchasing the mattress and matching base together can remove that uncertainty.
Correct mattress support is particularly important with a bed as large as a California King.
