Many customers are coming to our Pensacola mattress store and are asking if 2 Twin XL mattresses can be put together and make a California King mattress?

The size of one Twin XL mattress is 38 by 80 inches

If we put together 2 Twin XL mattresses 38 + 38 you get 76 inches. This is the size of a King mattress. So, basically you can form a King bed by having 2 Twin XL mattresses and not a California King mattress.

Do 2 Twin mattresses fit the California King mattresses?

If we are trying to form a California King bed from two Twin mattresses it will not work out. The twin mattresses come shorter and it will be difficult to fit the sheets.
