Can anyone recommend bassinet sheets for this mattress? I am reusing mine from 2010 and frustratingly, the company can't sell me any!!!! I'm really upset bc their FAQ says its sooo dangerous to use any other but theirs and only 3 years after purchase...

I was not happy with the thin mattress the bassinet came with, so I ordered this one & used wonderfully soft Carter's bassinet sheets. The mattress is AMAZING - firm, custom stiched, and great quality. My little one slept like a dream on it and I even used it as a changing table when I had it wheeled out into the living room. I see others have complained about the outer fabric on the bassinet (the curtains) but I found it durable and very easy to clean. Transitioned my son into his crib around 5 month and gave this lovely bassinet to my friend who just had a baby. But, I really do recommend getting a different mattress. Here is the one I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UGB6YU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I replaced my pad with the Ikko Oval Bassinet Pad - Small (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002AWROL4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) because I didn't like the one that came with the bassinet. The Ikko pad is like a little mattress and is twice as thick and more structured than the floppy foam pad that comes in the bassinet. I found Kushies Fitted Bassinet Sheets that fit the Ikko pad (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005YYS6AS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc;=1).

We used a box spring for our mattress. I have found the mattress that we purchased did not hold it's shape, as soon as you get into the bed you sink into the same spot you laid in the prior night as the many nights before that, do good research on this mattress, I tried to return mine after a year and was told that there was no warranty on the mattress, which was a surprise as I thought there was a 5 year warranty. DO your research before purchasing.... Not happy with the mattress that we purchased at all.

I too found the mattress included completely substandard, scary thin, I was afraid my son may develop flat head syndrome. I had a custom mattress and fitted sheets made by this company. They ask you to send in a template so I used the old mattress and traced it out on newspaper. It came out perfect and worked out great for us. The company is called aBaby.com

I used the mattress inside the bassinet as my guide..If it is between 16 and 17 inches across..and 30 -31 long choose the 17-31 it is the closest fit. With 4 sizes to choose from you should find a pretty good match...there is a nice expandable yet snug elastic binding to keep it firmly in place even if the measurements are slightly off... I hope this help you! :-)

I have a feeling that the guy who says, it's "excellent" works for them. There's NO warranty for this mattress. Nothing, nada, except this - "The warranty covers for the mattress sink/sag more than 1.5" without laying/sitting on the mattress" (that's in their own words, so the poor grammar is not mine). I've had this mattress for about 4 years and sleeping on it is torture because it feels like a soft rag with no memory foam features and their warranty support pretty much blew me off.

I bought mine some time ago and have used several sheets. You should direct this question to the supplier. Good luck

Hi, I have had the mattress for about a month in a guest room. I've slept on it a few nights too. It's like a marshmallow and not in a good way. I regret the purchase and find it far too soft and squishy. I wish I had purchased in-store at a local furniture shop. It was cheap and convenient, though, and I suppose for a hardly used guest room it's OK. But VERY very soft.

I just used the sheet it came with! But I'm sure a standard bassinet sheet would work. It's a thin-ish piece of foam.

I wanted to thank the original poster for this question. I have an antique 3/4s four poster bed that I inherited and could not find a reasonably priced mattress for it. My parents commissioned a specially fitted mattress in the 1980s, but that one is in a state of disintegration. Being able to trim this one down would solve all of my problems, except for the sheets sadly, because I cannot afford the cost of a special order one.Thanks!

I irdered white King and have washed them many times...so far so good. However, our king isn't a wildly thick mattress. Sorry you've had issues. I have ordered these in twin for the kids I am so pleased with their quality, thickness and wash/dry survival. Exchange them. I think it was a fluke.

How has your luck been with these new sheets so far? I have bought two pairs of these in the past and now I just bought the ivory set as it is back in stock. Now I am a bit concerned as to what people are saying as well!

I didn't use the mattress that came with a co-sleeper. It was super thin and had a horrible chemical smell. I ended up getting a different organic mattress on amazon and baby is still sleeping in the co-sleeper at 9 months. Also, FYI I discovered that the changing pad covers fit the mattress perfectly and I've been using them instead the sheets that came in with the co-sleeper. Hope it helps.

We use(d) it for our twins! We used the bassinet part for about 5 months when the twins slept in our room at night. After that, we moved them to the nursery to their cribs for night sleep. When they got too big for the bassinet part, we took that out and one twin still sleeps in it for naptime in a different room (if we put both in their cribs for nap they will play and keep each other awake!). It was a staple for us.

Excellent for me - equal pressure across back and side - BUT Get a mattress from sleep innovations or other vendor. Not a linen spa mattress. - they DO NOT honor the warranty policy. They will state "Not a manufacturer defect." So buyer beware. Buy a sleep innovation or other brand

I use a different mattress with a bassinet sheet. The original mattress is a super thin pad. Just a little thicker than a changing pad that comes with a diaper bag. I don't think they make sheets small enough to fit the original pad. The new mattress fits perfectly and I love this bassinet!

It's not necessary to buy a bassinet mattress in my opinion. The pad that comes with it offers the same level of comfort as a mattress sold by babies r us. Besides not sure if you could possibly find a mattress or pad that fits in this bassinet.
