do you need a fitted sheet w/ this? What are ppl doing about overnight wetting?

I didn't use a sheet, the covering it comes with is sufficient but when placed in bed it leans toward the weight bearing side causing the baby to slide toward that side resulting in their face pressing against the mesh. It's ok on firm flat surfaces ie the FLOOR.

It doesn't need a fitted sheet. It comes with one. It can be removed to wash.

You shouldn't use sheets or blankets with this bassinet or any bassinet for that matter. Diaper and full pajamas only. My son is just over five months and he's already too big for this bassinet.

No, regular sheets are fine......and I also used a mattress pad under the sheets

Considering the firmness of the mattress, we found the mattress pad to be a big plus in added comfort. I'm not sure if it's necessary for wetness protection though.

We ended up buying Kauai Baby Goodnight Heavy Wetter diapers. They come with two super thick microfiber inserts. We use both inserts plus a Thirsties hemp insert at night. But, this would be super bulky for daytime.

No and you need to be sure and expose plenty of bare skin to that fitted sheet. I stopped worrying about not having my top sheet match my fitted sheet. See if you don't enjoy a better sleep on your Earthing fitted sheet!

It comes with a sheet and that's the only one I've ever used although while that one was being washed I have used a swaddle blanket to cover up the mattress pad. I just tucked the edges in around the pad.

Do no put in a washer or submerge in water. A cloth or towel with a little water and soap is your best alternative. If it's soiled heavily, try to blot it dry. If small children are sleeping on it, it's advised as with any good bed, to put a protective layer down over.

How would something that big fit under a sheet? Fitted sheets normally fit tight already without something that large under tham

I didn't get the recommended carter ones but what I did is put a waterproof pad at the bottom of the bed and a regular twin bed fitted sheet over the whole thing. That way you just have to clean sheet instead of taking pads out if the bed to wash cover and put all back together. You also protect foam pieces in case of a toilet training accident.

I use the same sheets I used before I put the topper on the mattress. If you have sheets that have deeper pockets, that is all you will need.

Babies r us has a pad that you could fit under the fitted sheet. It won't look pretty but it will give waterproof protection. They come in various sizes.

My son was wetting 2-3 times a night and took him about 50 days to stop bed wetting. I used up 2 full boxes. So, its worth ordering extra. If you prefer, you can also use band-aid, but I just wanted to use what the manufacturer recommended.

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.

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.

They don't recommend using any sheets, but I was using a receiving blanket tucked under the thin pad that's comes with the thing.

I simply soak in enough hot water to cover overnight. Some people bring water to a boil, then strain when it cools. Either way works.

Fitted sheets don't have to go below the mattress to stay on. If you want that just buy top sheets in a size large enough and fold them under.
