Is it difficult to put a fitted sheet on this, since it is thicker than a regular mattress?

This mattress is very easy to put sheets on. It isn't puffy so it does not look that thick. It isn't heavy like innerspring, so that makes it easy to lift the corners to put the sheets on.

We use a minimum of 300 thread count sheets and have no problems with our sheets fitting our mattress.

It would be tough to use a fitted sheet because the headrest sits up higher than the rest of the mattress. I use a full-size flat sheet and just tuck it underneath to get it to stay - this works fine. It is a very good bed for the money, I would recommend this one.

It's very heavy. I had to hire movers to bring up to my second floor apartment. When out of the box, it's fully assembled so you just open it, and it's ready for use.Twin sheets are used but since the mattress is smaller, the situation is not perfect. However, this bed is great! My son is 6"4, so I bought the xtra long bed.He's been sleeping on it for two months, and never complained. I only wish I could find fitted sheets exclusively made for this great product.

It is very firm. When I push on it it doesn't cause an impression. I imagine you are worrying that when a baby is lying on it either is to hard - which I don't think it is just firm - or to soft to worry about the baby and breathing. I don't see that as an issue, but that is my opinion. I do plan to use a mattress pad cover and then of course a decorative sheet. I hope this helps. I like this mattress.

Definitely heavier than a standard crib mattress but totally manageable. When I change the crib sheet I generally pull out one end and lift the whole thing on top of the crib to rest diagonally so I don't have to hold it up while also wrangling the sheet. This makes the weight not an issue for me.

It goes on like a fitted sheet. The pad portion covers the entire mattress. I imagine tightness depends on thickness of mattress. My daughter has an 8 inch mattress and it still fits well but would be tighter on a thicker mattress.

Not at all !! It is very comfortable and cushioned. You can, however, see the demarcation of the separate squares through the fitted sheet if that concerns you. It's not a problem for me.

The mattress isn't firm. It is on the softer. My mattress filled up pretty quickly, but didn't completely fill out the sheet for a day or so. When it was fully set, it was much thicker than expected.

Yes it is very easy to put on. the sides are stretchy they are like a nylon blend with nice tight elastic all around. our mattress is 14" thick and it fit beautifully. Very good quality.

I have mine on a mattress,. It is not terribly thick but does provide softness to my mattress. Perhaps you would be better off with a thicker down topper. But this one is very soft and comfy.

I find it no different than any other mattress, but I put a thick padded mattress on it. I use 400ct cotton sheets.

Older standard fitted sheets would be too tight. Newer fitted sheets for deeper mattresses would be fine.

I bought a double or full-size mattress and supported it with plywood without a box spring. The mattress alone is just as thick as my old mattress and box spring combined. I use my same fitted sheets, and they fit okay. The bottom fitted sheet works okay, but it doesn't tuck underneath the mattress.

Quite frankly, my wife has slept on it directly many times when she was hurting. I doubt that a sheet would interfere. Either way, it does a fine job.

As it is not a standard queen, standard queen sheets are too big. you would have to have a really thick mattress pad to get a good snug fit.

No. It's probably a quarter of the thickness of a crib mattress. In reality it's a foam. But combined with that hard pack and play mattress it can be quite firm and supportive

I know exactly what you are saying! I have one that fits on the mattress like an envelope. Impossible to do on these heavy mattresses. No worries .... This cover has elastic corners and goes on like a fitted sheet - much easier
