A Cal King is 84 inches long. At 6’6", I am 78 inches long, giving 6 inches of “extra” - except it’s not, because without a headboard your pillows squirt out the end; if you have a headboard, you lose that space for pillows and end up with your feet hanging off the end. A 108 inch mattress sounds heavenly. As it is, I cheat and sleep semi-diagonally, stealing the bottom third of the wife’s side (hooray for a short spouse).
