![]() Research shows that the California king bed was supposedly invented in 1982 by a very tall man with short arms, called David Bergeson who lived in Concord, California.īecause of his height and short arms, not only did his feet hang over the end of the bed but he also had trouble reaching for his wife at night. In the 1960s, it was the rich and famous who were the primary users of the California king bed which measures 183cm by 214cm. Historians believe that this bed was the first model of the king bed we know today. This bed was well known in its day, and even William Shakespeare made mention of it in his play Twelfth Night. It is presumed that the bed was originally made as a tourist attraction for an inn in Ware, Hertfordshire and is marked with graffiti as visitors were said to have carved their initials on the bedposts and headboard. Not sure about the logic in that…what if you’re the one in the middle and need to get up in the night? Suppose you could scoot down a couple of laps and slip out the bottom like a vienna sausage.
