Hi, we got the cot which requires the mattress to be in this size 132x70; sadly the mattress I am looking for are still out of stock for this measurements and they are not planning to do it any time soon. The next available mattress is 130x69; My question would be,can we still try to purchase slightly different measurements for the cot? (2cm shorter in length,and 1cm in width) Thank you

Recommendation for mattress size for cots comes from Product Safety Australia (ACCC) which has the following.

“the mattress must fi t snugly to within 20 mm of sides and ends” (p2 & picture of cot)
