What is the difference between a California King mattress and a regular King mattress?

Well, according to BetterSleep.Org, the difference is 4" -- in 2 different directions!! And not what you'd expect on 1 of them.
King 76" x 80"
California King 72" x 84"
So, the California King is longer by 4", but is actually *narrower* by 4", also. How odd! Maybe they are not only taller, but like to sleep closer together
On the other hand, Spacify states:
"California King : A bed size that measures 74"x86". This style is popular on the West coast of the United States. The additional size comes in the length creating a rectangular shape rather than the square shape of a standard king (Eastern King)."
Notice the size discrepancy

@ 6''. No really.The California king is 6'' longer than a standard matress.
When I worked at Bed Bath & BEYOND,I asked the same question.Apparently,the tallest people in the country,live in California and there was a need for,longer beds!
