If you didn't know, King water beds are what is called a California king and isn't the same size as a regular king. A California king is longer and skinnier, so it is preferred by tall people.

I love my SelectComfort "sleep number" California king air bed. And since it collapses kind of like a waterbed mattress, it is easy to get up stairs.
