Ikea cots - changes in size?
Hi ladies,
My MIL neighbour has kindly given us their cot for our first born. It's just the basic IKEA one, but one less thing we have to buy. We went to ikea and bought a good mattress for it (twice the price of the cot itself!) but when we got back, we found out it doesn't fit! The old frame is too small.
I've been on the site, and the measurements for the same cot is bigger than the one we have - does anyone know if they changed the measurements for cots?

Thanks for your replies ladies - really helpful xxx
just an idea. i got loads of bits from car bott, most are brilliant might just need a wash/wipe down. ps i even picked up a dauliter gliding chair for ??5!!!
Good luck in your search!
we actually where told that they had changed their sizes when we bought our cot, but ours was the old continental size. We got a mattress to fit prefectly from kiddicare that cost ??25 just to save buying a new cot.
