This mattress cover does not come as standard with the cot, but is highly recommended in terms of both comfort and practicality. Because of the "growing ability" of this cot bed, the mattress itself comes in three pieces which fit together, as shown in the product image. When in use as a cot, or small bed, only the two end pieces are required and then as the bed is extended the middle piece is inserted.
The mattress cover comes in 2 sizes to fit over either the shortened or full size mattress. It and acts as both a washable over layer and an extra layer of padding which will allow the joins of the mattress to go totally undetected. The mattress cover has been through a hypoallergenic process and is washable at 60OC
