Regarding the bassinet: Can anyone recommend a good brand of sheets to use that will fit? We plan to have the baby bedside for a little while.

I did a little research and found a couple of things. American Baby Company 100% Cotton Supreme Jersey Knit Fitted Bassinet Sheet on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/American-Baby-Company-Jersey-Bassinet/dp/B000BPS0R4). One reviewer said it fits perfectly. And another one, UPPAbaby Replacement Organic Bassinet Sheet at Hip Baby Gear (http://www.hipbabygear.com/UPPAbaby-Replacement-Organic-Bassinet-Sheet_p_659.html).

Uppababy sells extra sheets for the bassinet (organic cotton) that fit perfectly. Just don't put them in the dryer.

I mostly just used my receiving blankets, and tucked them in at the sides. I bought a small waterproof pad -- I think the kind for a changing table - and slid that underneath. Long pillowcases can also work.

We did the same thing but did not use a sheet. The pad has a cover that is washable.

We just used receiving blankets tucked in snug. I didn't have a problem with the blankets coming loose. That said you can always email uppababy and they will get back to you quickly.

I did the same thing as traveling shopper. I just wrapped a receiving blanket tightly around it and made sure the ends were tucked firmly underneath.

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!

Hi. I used regular Queen sized linens that I already had laying around. They work fine, but I'll probably purchase sheets that are for a deeper mattress for a better fit. The mattress expands a little after heavy use (but doesnt lose firmness), so i think sheets with a little room and eladtic would fit best (Target has nice sets by Threshold). I also bought an elastic dust ruffle to cover the bottom, so it looks like a real bed. Hope this helps!

Hi Lauren! I was able to find sheets and a mattress pad to fit this mattress at Buy Buy Baby. You have to look in the Portacrib section of the store. The sheets are jersey knit (Kidsline) and come in a lots of pastel colors and the mattress pad I found at Buy Buy Baby (BBBasics) fits the mattress nicely. They are sized 24x38 which is the size of the mattress at Amazon. The sheets are located in the Portacrib section of the store or if you search online - Portacrib sheets. I have washed both the sheets and mattress pad (cold water, low dryer) and they came out great. I wasn't able to find any sheets through Amazon to fit this mattress so I had to look locally.

I use Gerber 2 Pack Cotton Knit Fitted Bassinet Sheet. They have elastic and fit the mattress fine. Sheets do not have to be oval.

Angie, I purchased the "Dream On Me 3 Foam Play Yard Mattress" AND the "American Baby Company 100% Cotton Value Jersey Knit Porta-Crib Sheet" and they fit perfectly. They are very soft and hold up after several wash cycles too. I hope that helps you out. Oh, BTW, I also have a "Saftey First" P&P.;

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.

I used the Graco Travel Lite crib sheet, it was about $8. I layered a thick blanket under for a tad bit more cushioning. The sheet fits tightly and snugly.

Hi,First, is your hood removable? If it is removable then this bedding will work.Second, what is the measurements of the rim around the bassinet. If it's more than 90" use a 16 x 32. If it's less go according to your mattress.Let me know if you still have any questions.Rishy877-552-2229 ext 304

I totally had trouble finding sheets to fit!! Since it's so much thicker than cheapo mattresses, it was a challenge. What I found worked GREAT were the Circo brand jersey knit sheets from Target. They are so stretchy (and soft!) and fit great. I also have one Pottery Barn sheet that was given to us that happens to work well, and a Dr. Seuss flannel sheet found on Amazon.com that was labeled "deep pockets." These all work well - Id recommend the Circo jersey knit or any that say they are deep pocket - these tend to be more expensive higher quality sheets. They will all say they fit "standard" crib mattresses, so the dimensions won't do much good - stretchier sheets fit much better than standard woven sheets. Good luck! It was worth the search in order to have the mattress!

The pad is an odd shape, not an exact oval, but approximately 15x30. I bought the Kushies Bassinet Fitted Sheet and it fit, but the pad is floppy so it was a little awkward. I decided to get a better mattress/pad because I want my baby to sleep overnight in this bassinet, so I bought the "Ikko Oval Bassinet Pad - Small" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002AWROL4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) and it fits great!

I just bought the bassinet mattress recommended to go with it and it fits great. The naturepedic I've heard is quite big.

I used my contoured changing table mattress and used the changing pad covers as the sheets. He loved his changing table, so thats where I got my idea! :) You can buy them seperately almost anywhere, we got ours at Target. (p.s. they sell them on Amazon too).

I used these in the newborn napper part of my pack and play when my son was first born. I had to fold a section but it worked well. I definitely agree with the others, these do tend to shrink. I currently use these on my changing table. If you are looking for a perfect fit, you may want to check out what products are made to fit your bassinet.

A standard crib mattress fit ours. We purchased sealy soybean mattress on amazon and it works great! All our sheets are standard fitted sheets over a waterproof crib cover. We love the crib!

I found that the mattress pad it comes with is a bit wider than an average bassinet pad. Its also quite thin, so I generally put it on soft surfaces when he's in it. It comes with a fitted sheet.

The American Baby Company 100% cotton Jersey knit portable/mini sheets are perfect! They're only $6.99 with Prime. I've even washed and dried it and it didn't strink.
