I've never seen one. Also, baby equipment should be as safe as possible, which means that you should use things as directed and as intended. Don't risk safety to save a few bucks. Its worth the ease of mind.

We bought the Dream On Me foam mattress to go in the Pack n Play and used the sheet on top of the mattress. The bottom of the pack n play really isn't soft enough for a baby to sleep on (maybe some kids do, but we read it's better to use the mattress so that's what we did).

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

Just use a twin size flat sheet. You may need to look a bit for one sold by itself and not as a set.

You will need a crib mattress for that one, and this is a mattress for a pack n play. They are much different in size. On a side note... I have the same crib for my baby who just turned one and the crib is missing an excessive amount of finish on the inside of the crib. The finish is not durable at all. But I do love the crib and would buy it again.

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.

Yes, it is portable, but is only on a perimeter frame. The napper collapses flat when used outside the packnplay, like a blanket. It would be fine if you hold it. I put it in the changing station for padding and so to access the crib portion.

If you use a pen you can pop the newborn napper out of the pack n play.It works with the pressure of their weight pushing it down, but I've taken it out and used it elsewhere.

No need for an extra mattress, in fact it's unsafe to use an additional mattress. I ordered the organic cotton sheet recommended as an add on and it's fabulous!

Dear Lau, I remember buying the fitted sheet for the "mattress". The pack and play comes with a foldable bottom surface that is slightly padded. That surface is supposed to be just the right padding for a baby. My guess is that anything softer would be a suffocation hazard, which is why you're not supposed to add in another mattress. The basinet is ready to go once the pack and play is assembled. Good luck.

I use pack n play/play yard size. I use this mattress just for some extra padding in our play yard for weekend trips; I would not use as a main mattress. Way too thin.

Good question...you can't use pack and play sheets. Standard crib sheets are too big but I used them anyway and tucked them in.

Not unless you just want to. It comes with a standard play pen type pad. Just like a Pack and Play. It has a material like cover, not plastic so you don't really even need to get a sheet. It is fine for overnighters or nap time. A bit too hard, I would say, for an everyday kind of sleeper. It is a "cheaper" version of the Pack & Play by Graco. The Graco is much sturdier and the mat is thicker. It is also more expensive. This suited our needs for a transportable bed to keep in the trunk for sleepy babies while visiting friends on the day to day.

The way the napper is set up, you can only use it on the pack n play. There are two metal rods that support that are inserted around the napper. Other wise it just a piece of fabric and it will lie flat on another surface. On another note, follow the instruction very carefully. I was pregnant and didn't play close attention and ended up installing the pieces upside down. It just make it harder to remove once my baby grew out of it (the release button is so hard to press!). Also, the changing area is also really confusing to put together by looking at the instructions. Just don't give up! It's a great item. I love it so much because of the convenience.

no, Just the firm little pad that comes with all pack in plays. I highly recomend a playyard mattress if the sleeping arangement is long term as while this is safe, it's not comfortable at all. You can feel the support bars through it if you press on it a bit. dd wouldn't sleep in one without the added mattress and I know many other babies who are the same. Though some don't seem to mind. I found this one that should fit:Kolcraft Cozy Soft Portable Crib Mattress, Lily

I ended up returning it as it was the wrong purchase. I needed it to accommodate my pack n play crib.
