Can you fit a crib sheet over this mattress pad comfortably? Or is it meant to be used without a crib sheet?

Sure can. It's meant to be used under the crib sheet to protect the mattress; I have 2 of these for my 2 boys and I love them. There are, of course, some sheet brands that fit snug even without the extra layer - but most of mine have fit great over the pad.

Most of my crib sheets fit beautifully over these mattress pads. Some sheets I have were a bit too tight to use. These mattress pads are so far superior to what else is available that I would get them and then make sure to buy sheets that fit. Good sheets are easier to come by. The Snoozys are certainly soft enough to use without a sheet but I think they are meant to have a sheet over them. They get softer with every wash.

Tried it with and without, found I prefer with sheets. Without sheets, I was using a sleeping bag but the pad still got dirty over time. With sheets, it was kept clean. But be sure and use the "deep" pocket fitted sheets, because you're adding 4" to the depth of your mattress.

I personally did not use a bassinet sheet. I tucked a blanket around the pad. This bassinet has a pad that is detachable. You would definitely be able to place a sheet on it if it was the correct size. I truly love this bassinet. We use it all the time.

No, the pad is smaller and thinner than a regular mattress. I got a bunch of crib sheets for my baby shower so my mom used her mad grandma skills to modify them to fit.

We put a fitted sheet over the heated mattress pad always. If you didn't do that you would have to wash the heated mattress pad more often and that would be hard on it.

Certainly - you want your fitted sheet to go over the mattress pad. Just be certain that the electrical connections at the head of the bed are secure. We LOVE our heated mattress pad - still using it!!

Hello you can use the standard size for the mattress . For the changing pad I recommend to wait till you measure it, this is not a regular size. Excellent crib so far

It should be called a mini crib mattress and mini crib sheets. Amazon should have it all for you to order. Mine came with the mattress pad already and we just covered it with a receiving blanket.

I use my fitted sheet from my normal crib. I have no problems with it coming loose.

No, I don't have any problem with that at all. I have a mattress pad cover over my foam but I love my bed now. Very comfortable. I highly recommend this pad.

For a young infant that is not yet very mobile you can use just one pad. After the baby starts moving you would want to put the second one to increase coverage otherwise you'll get false alarms when the baby moves off the area covered by the pad. The two pads fit easily under a normal crib mattress. The base of the crib has to be solid (wood and not springs. I placed a thin wood base on top of springs - works great).

I use this sheet regularly on a 5" portable (mini) crib mattress. So yes, it works fine. It actually works better than others I have, though it is a snug fit.

The mattress is covered with a white plastic cover. Technically, it is waterproof, but I wouldn't want to have to wipe it down and dry it off every time there's an accident. We use the waterproof naturepedic pads so you can quickly replace the sheet and pad.You wouldn't need two pads though - the waterproof pad alone is fine. Also, I had a couple of the portacrib waterproof pads (flat, not fitted) that I used when the full crib pad was being washed. I just put it in the center and never had a problem with either child wetting around the edges of the crib. It's possible of course but probably worth the gamble if you want to save some money and avoid buying extra pads. The mattress is covered with a white plastic cover.

I wrap the pad with a crib sheet that my daughter is used to and instead of putting it underneath, I just put it inside. She sleeps great in it while camping and on vacation!

These sheets are a great fit for a regular mattress. I use a mattress pad on my mattress and the sheets still fit without being too tight/small. Without the pad, the sheets fit but just aren't as snug but they're not too big without the pad. Hope this helps!

The top quilted area of the pad will shrink a bit in the wash even in cold wash and hang dry. However, it still fit the crib mattress after shrinking. Just left about a quarter inch around the mattress covered only by stretchie fitted part.

Absolutely . . . the pad is designed to protect the mattress from wetness, and the crib sheet over the top makes it more comfortable fora baby or young child.
