Do I need to buy the sheets from Guava Family to make sure they fit the playard, or can I use any pack and play sheets?

I think a normal crib fitted sheet will work best. That's what I use for my Lotus travel crib. This portable crib is much longer than a normal pack and play, which makes it more comparable to a normal crib.

I just use regular crib sheet with ours and it has worked well. However, if you order the playpen direct from the guava family site and use this link to do so, you'll get a free crib sheet with your purchase. http://guavafamily.refr.cc/KJQJKMN:)

"Need"? No. A standard fitted crib sheet is somewhat larger than the mattress and works fine for us. It's far from an elegant solution but it stays securely on the mattress despite our very active sleeper. When our son was younger we would wrap a swaddle around the mattress (plenty of width, about 2 inches too short) and that worked well also.

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 bought a "Dream On Me 3" Foam Playard Mattress" and it fits just fine. It measures 39" x 27" and the bottom of the playard itself measures about 41" x 27.5". There is a little wiggle room between the sides and the foam mattress, but it is very slight. I kept the included mattress platform on the bottom and put the foam mattress on top layered with a cushiony mattress pad cover (like American Baby Organic Cotton Quilted one). The foam mattress is not as soft as I would have liked, so the quilted mattress pad really helps. Combined, they make a perfect sleeping area. Top that with a soft flannel fitted sheet and I want to crawl in there! I bought a "Dream On Me 3" Foam Playard Mattress" and it fits just fine.

The bags didn't fit the bigger balls. The cards are regular playing cards. I don't know why the cards came with the game balls but it worked well for my daughter-in laws and my granddaughters. I sorry I didn't see your questions earlier.

I get my sheets at Babies r Us and they do fit. I usually buy full size sheets and use the elastic snap thingies to make the sheet fit, or pin them to fit tight with safety pins. Just make sure the safety pins are under the mattress and not anywhere near the babies hands.

Yes it will. I actually recommebd using the regular size crib sheets because the mini crib sheets are so tight and barely fit. They were constantly popping off and i had to fix it like everyday. So def go with the regular crib sheets. You can even use the toddler bed sheets. They have more character options. Hope this heps you.

The only sheets that fit properly are the Stokke Bounce N Sleep sheets (also available thru Amazon)

They work fine for our two pack n plays, which are about mid-range models. I'm not sure about the higher-end models, since the padding on those mattresses seems quite a bit more plush. If you have a high-end model you might want to try one of these at a store to make sure they fit, but for a standard Pack n Play these are great.

There is a pack n play Graco mattress if I am not wrong. I bought mine which fits the Pack n Play quite well from Amazon. I can't remember the brand, look under Graco Pack n Play what other related things people have bought and you should be able to find a variety of accessories that fit Graco Pack and Play

I purchased a 3" Dream on Me mattress to put in the Pack and Play. The sheet fits great on that. I might have an older Pack and Play because the mattress that came with it was very thin.

I'd also like to know the answer to this question. I plan on using the pack n play as a crib. Thoughts?

I just use a regular pack-n-play sheet for it. It doesn't fit perfectly but it's tight enough. You can buy the Bjorn sheets on amazon, but they are much more expensive.

I didn't purchase a mattress pad but did purchase a Graco quilted playard sheet. It was made for the Pack 'n Play.

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

Hi, The dimensions are 28.0 x 39.75 x 32.0 inches. I think a standard crib sheet may be too big, but Pack'N Play Playard standard sheets can be found on Amazon, Babies R Us and other similar stores. Hope this helps.

No-typical pack-n-play sheets are too small. We used a reg crib sheet and tucked it tightly and put the pads under for the diaper leakage

It doesn't fit perfectly. We have the Graco Pack n Play Playard with Changer (assuming it's the same size as the model with changer and napper) and there is a sizable gap between mattress and playard.
