Mattresses
WARNING
Always use a mattress of the correct size and type. Incompatible
mattresses can create hazards.
Entrapment hazards may exist when using a very soft mattress, even
if it is the correct size.
The maximum recommended mattress thickness for use with side
rails is 18cm.
Read the instructions for use supplied with the mattress.

different to that specified for the bed, the lower value applies.
A label on the calf extension sheet indicates the correct
mattress size:
