I am looking for a mattress for the bassinet portion of the Pack &amp; Play...is this the mattress for the bassinet portion or the bottom of the play yard

I used it in both the bassinet and the bottom of the play yard. Of course it does add some height, so as soon as baby starts to roll, I would start using it in the bottom part only. I even used my sleep sense infant movement monitor under this mattress with absolutely no problems.

I bought a "Dream On Me 3" Foam Playard Mattress" and it fits just fine. It measures 39" x 27" and the bottom of the playard itself measures about 41" x 27.5". There is a little wiggle room between the sides and the foam mattress, but it is very slight. I kept the included mattress platform on the bottom and put the foam mattress on top layered with a cushiony mattress pad cover (like American Baby Organic Cotton Quilted one). The foam mattress is not as soft as I would have liked, so the quilted mattress pad really helps. Combined, they make a perfect sleeping area. Top that with a soft flannel fitted sheet and I want to crawl in there! I bought a "Dream On Me 3" Foam Playard Mattress" and it fits just fine.

There was no sheet that came with the bassinet. Our son lays in the little hammock that you can use over the bottom mattress of the bassinet. My wife did buy a mattress sheet for it, but we have yet to use it because we feel more comfortable placing him in the hammock attachment, due to the fact that we can strap him in for safety. The mattress itself is lined with a thin plastic like they use on baby changing pads. I think this is for ease of cleaning and to keep the pad itself leak proof. We really like our Cuddle N' Care bassinet. Our son lays and sleeps very comfortably in it. It's very well made, easy to assemble and it's surprisingly lightweight which makes it easy to move.

The bottom is open. It fits on the mattress over the sheet. This is a great tent. My daughter loves it. It's built really well and is easy to put on and take off.

No you can not. It is really not a comfortable play yard I had to add tons of blankets for my little one to be comfortable. It's not even a mattress it's very hard folding thing that you unfold for each way you use it. I can't even close mine. My advice look for a different one. Hope this helps

For the pack and play, yes. Not for the bassinette. There are no sheets for that part.

Its rather large and thick, so I'd think that it should only be used in the bottom portion of the play yard.

I'm not sure what you're asking... I purchased the Dream on Me 3" mattress for my pack 'n play, and I also purchased the Graco Pack ' Play Quilted Playard sheet for a little more softness and Carter's easy fit Jersey portable crib sheet to go over that. Works great!

The instructions say not to use an extra mattress while in the bassinet mode due to suffocation hazards. We use the extra mattress in the play yard mode. The Travel Lite mattress becomes the bottom of the play yard and then the mattress just sits on top of that. It's been perfect for both afternoon naps and regular sleep during late evenings at the office.

The whole play yard? Only 14 inches? Absolutely not. Maybe the bassinet part. Im not sure of the exact size though.

I liked using the napper outside of the pack n play and laying it on the sofa or bed as a soft place for baby to lay down on. I like the shade on it too to keep the light out of it's eyes. We did not use it as an overnight sleeper, because we were not sure it was good for the baby to not be on firm bedding, so we did not take the chance. The higher sleeping area is where he first slept. The baby will not sleep overnight anyways.

It's not a mattress at all! It's more like a play pen, with a material liner! We used it for my granddaughter, but it was very hard and not very deep. I would suggest a real bassinet with a mattress.

I used a regular mattress on the top and bottom. But it does not have to be so for the bottom. it is just a matter of personal preference.

My guess is the play yards are meant for babies and toddlers. Most babies and toddlers are usually this weight and under. To be certain, you would need to check with the vendor or manufacturer. Also check the maximum weight of your play yard. You may find much more weight will crash the bottom floor. This is only an estimation. I don't really know.

I purchased a 3" Dream on Me mattress to put in the Pack and Play. The sheet fits great on that. I might have an older Pack and Play because the mattress that came with it was very thin.

I found generic "play yard" fitted sheets at Target. 2-pack for like $9.99. They're pack-n-play sized, but deeper and fit this mattress perfectly. Something like this: http://www.target.com/p/circo-pack-n-play-play-yard-fitted-sheet-set/-/A-14772607#prodSlot=medium_1_5&term=play+yard+sheets

the bottom of the playpen to make it like a crib. It worked really well because it is easy to toss ontop of everything in the trunk when traveling. I wouldnt use it in the bassenet. You dont need it because the baby is so ligt and doesnt need that kind of cushioning, it would just boost the baby closer to the edge anyways.
