I know the mattress in this bassinet says not to put anything in or on it, but surely that does not mean sheets? Do you use bassinet sheets with this

The "mattress" it comes with is so flimsy that when I attempted to put a bassinet sheet on it, it just folded up inside of it because the elastic of the sheet was too strong for the crappy foam. I've got a potential 3 weeks to figure out what I'm going to do.

Gave this bassinet as a gift. The Mom says she uses baby blankets to lay baby on. No sheets.

I found The mattress To Thin, So I Put A Foam piece Down In The Bassinet With A Fitted Sheet.The Foam Piece Was The Exact Size As The Mattress.

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!

We do not use sheets. Sometimes we lay down a receiving blanket to keep the baby cooler, but did not buy sheets for it.

Technically you're not supposed to even put sheets on it because it's a suffocation hazard though such an occurance is very unlikely so use your own discretion.

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.

It depends. You need to get one on the smaller size. If you get a regular bassinet sheet, you may have to tuck it underneath and sometimes it bunches up, especially if the baby moves around. I picked out some small sheets and pull them tight so that they stay. I think if I were to do this again, I'd look into a different bassinet. I'd find one that at least had sheets to go with it, because this one does not.

No it needs bassinet sheets. The mattress is smaller than the one used on a standard crib.

Yes. I made some cotton flannel covers for it that are like a pillow case, so the mattress slips into them. It adds an extra bit of warmth to the mattress. This bassinet mattress is very good quality and has the necessary firmness comparable to a crib mattress for supporting a newborn baby's spine as it's developing.

If you cover both the mattress and the pad together, you will need the extra deep sheets. The regular sheets are too small.

Yes. It is a thinner mattress typical for a bassinet. I bought regular bassinet sheets at Target and they fit perfectly.

No, it doesn't come with a mattress. It comes with the pad for the bassinet piece, you don't really need a mattress. You will need to get fitted playyard sheets though.

You just need a sheet. Any bassinet sheet will fit but the jersy kind are softer

Not that I found, I used an older bassinet that I found at a garage sale as the stand. My baby really liked sleeping in this bassinet and used it every night.

It comes with it's own fitted sheet. I'm not sure how the size of this compares to a bassinet, so I wouldn't purchase another sheet without measuring or knowing that the measurements are similiar. They do sell extra sheets to go with it, if you wanted to spend the money.

The bassinet is customized. There are no mattresses that fit it but I will say we used it with the existing pad and loved it!

I have this mattress. You can get regular sheets on it but you are going to fight with them to keep the sheets on. I would really recommend deep pocket sheets. My favorite are the bamboo sheets sold by Malouf Fine Linens.

That's a good question and unfortunately I can't answer it with 100% certainty since we don't use sheets on it; we just give our guests a bunch of blankets. However, this bed seems sturdy enough that you could put sheets on it.

Yes. Never use extra mattress in bassinet mode and only use it in stage 2 and 3.

I just found some regular sized crib sheets that are really stretchy (the plush fluffy kind) with elastic around the entire fitted sheet, the leftover tucks itself under the matress since it has elastic all the way around. no problems here, and I can use them on the regular crib too if need be.

It is designed to protect your mattress from wetness so my suggestion would be to not use it to sleep on but put a sheet on top as you normally would.

No not at all!! It fits snug on the mattress and once the sheets are on, you don't even know you have something other than the sheets on the mattress.
