Cots and Cot bed Mattresses we cannot stress too much that the correct sized mattress for your cot or cot bed, has no more that a 4cm gap around the outside once the mattress is pushed to one side or the other. There have been occasions when babies have managed to get their tiny legs trapped underneath the mattress from down under the gap, which might be fatal. So that you can get the right size the cot or cot bed should be assembled before taking any measurements. The mattress must fit snuggly but it is best to be certain that it does not stop the sides from coming down on the cot.
