Silly ? I know, but has anyone tried this: King size sheets on a CA King bed???

I have googled and get several answers....no, yes just turn them sideways...

So has anyone here tried it? The sheets I am looking at do not come in CAK and are a good price. We don't usually use the flat one. My mattress is not the deepest and sheets say they fit to 17", would that help make it fit better??

I just need sheets to last a yr or so, not looking for an investment right now. Wanna wait and see what furniture we will take when we move....

I used to work in a higher end bedding store.

 

a ca king is 72x84

a standard king is 76/78x80.

 

the top sheets will fit either - and if you don't want the top sheet and are handy with a sewing machine, you can make the flat sheet into a fitted sheet.

Ohh... good idea gardemom! Thanks!

I noticed recently that in most of the Hiltons we stay at, they don't even use fitted sheets anymore for the bottoms, they are flats oversized tucked in. New trend?
