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.

You have to buy the sheets from Guava family. The mattress is NOT the standard size of pack and plays unfortunately. (I don't understand why it's not sold together since you are forced to buy their sheets anyways.) Also, the sheets that they sell have the cut-outs for the velcro straps that fit through and attach to the crib.)

I used the mattress inside the bassinet as my guide..If it is between 16 and 17 inches across..and 30 -31 long choose the 17-31 it is the closest fit. With 4 sizes to choose from you should find a pretty good match...there is a nice expandable yet snug elastic binding to keep it firmly in place even if the measurements are slightly off... I hope this help you! :-)

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.

I contacted Graco and they stated that they do not make sheets for the bassinet. :( Pretty bummed - I don't think I would have bought this if I had known.

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

Regular crib/toddler fitted sheets work great with this mattress. They fit perfect without extra material bunching up. I also use 2 different toddler bed sets (an Elmo and a Chiggington both bought on Amazon!!!) and they fit as well.

Hi Carol, I didn't purchase sheets. I actually used one of the changing table covers that I received. It was a little ill fitting but totally worked. I received three covers at the baby shower and they were all really soft material. I didn't have to spend any extra money on the portable sleeper. I hope that helps.

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.

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.

When I bought it, it was described as a "cradle" not a bassinet. The sheets you need are "cradle" sized, so a bumper would probably be for a cradle as well, rather than a bassinet. However, I was under the impression that safety experts do not recommended bumpers due to their being a possible suffocation hazard.

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!

Hi Ariana, I did not buy a mattress. Instead I purchased crib batting from JoAnn along with some of their cuddly soft fabric (super soft and kinda fleecy) and wrapped the batting with it. I just laid it in there and cut/folded it under as needed. My little one loved it! We also purchased some cheap Velcro so that we could hold it closed on trips. For the price, this is a great bassinet! Enjoy your little one and congrats! :)

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.

I use Fitted Pack N Play Sheet by Luvable Friends (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000M0IWLC/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) and American Baby Company 100% Cotton Value Jersey Knit Porta-Crib Sheet (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O7SR36/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i03?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). I have a few others that I already had that seem to work fine too; they are just pack n play sheets with deeper sides (not the type with no elastic). Hope that helps!

Hello. I'm writing from Naturepedic. Bassinets come in many different sizes, but we do make bassinet pads in several sizes, one of which may fit the bassinet you have. Give our customer service department a call to see if we have what you need. 800-917-3342. Also, we can custom make bassinet pads to the size you need. Again, customer service can help you arrange that.

Search for mini crib mattress and sheets. The sheets that are made for the pack n plays also will fit the mattress. I got a 3" organic layer mattress off of amazon.
