The California King Conundrum
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room. No, IKEA does not currently offer California King beds. It’s like they’re playing hard to get or something. Maybe they’re saving it for a grand reveal, like a surprise IKEA Home Makeover show.
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
But why, oh why, would IKEA do this to us? Is it because they’re secretly plotting world domination and need to keep us short and grumpy? Or is it a more innocent explanation, like, “Hey, let’s make all our beds metric and confuse everyone”?
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.

IKEA: A World of Compromises
While IKEA might not have your dream bed size, they do offer plenty of other options. You could always go for the next best thing: a Euro Super King. It’s a bit longer than a regular king, so maybe your starfish partner will finally learn to curl up. Or, you could embrace your inner minimalist and go for a smaller bed. You might end up cuddling more, which is actually kind of cute.

Hacking Your Way to a California King
If you’re feeling adventurous, you could try to hack your own California King bed. There are plenty of IKEA hacks out there, from turning bookshelves into wardrobes to creating custom kitchen islands. So, why not tackle a bed? You could combine two bed frames, or maybe get creative with some plywood and patience. Just remember, if it goes wrong, don't blame me.
How to...
- How to measure your bedroom: Before you start dreaming of a California King, make sure your room can actually handle it. Measure the length and width of your room and subtract a few feet for walking space.
- How to find alternatives: If IKEA isn’t cutting it, explore other furniture stores or online retailers. There are plenty of options out there, even if they might cost a bit more.
- How to accept disappointment: Sometimes, life doesn’t give you exactly what you want. Learn to appreciate what you have, or at least find a way to make the best of it.
- How to DIY a bed frame: If you’re feeling crafty, there are plenty of tutorials online to help you build your own bed frame. Just make sure you know what you’re doing before you start hammering.
- How to sleep soundly: Regardless of your bed size, make sure you’re getting a good night’s sleep. Invest in a comfortable mattress, use blackout curtains, and establish a relaxing bedtime routine.
