Mattress And Cot

My wife’s boss gave us a baby mattress and a cot recently. As the mattress was pretty old, we decided to throw it away and buy a new one.

We measured the dimensions of the mattress before throwing it away and we happily set off to purchase the replacement yesterday. After arriving home, my wife took the mattress and placed it into the cot. To her surprise, the mattress did not fit.

Why in the world did her boss give us a mattress that did not fit the cot? Anyway, we found it comical and went to take the actual measurement of the cot. Then we took the mattress and exchanged for one of the right size today.
