Sheets on nap mats?

[GymMom]

Do you cover your nap mats with anything (fitted sheet or something?) or do the kids sleep right on the mat? Also, do you use sheets in playpens? I only have 1 dck so far, and she sleeps in a playpen with a fitted sheet (made for playpen), but the sheets are hard to find. Just wondering what you all do...

I put a small mat on the playpen for the 1 year old, but when my 3.5 year old arrived, her Mom told me she naps, and I just assumed a child that age doesn't nap anymore, so I wasn't ready. I took the mat out of another playpen and put it on the floor for her with a pillow and blanket. I would love to find fitted sheets for my pack n plays if anyone knows where to get them.

Re: Sheets for my pack n play...I just use a twin flat sheet and wrap it right around the mattress thingy that goes in the bottom. That works great for me & stays in place much better than a crib sheet.

I use crib sheets for the playpens, or if they're all in the wash, I make do with a folded up twin sheet.

I guess a twin sheet wrapped around would stay in place just fine, I'll have to try that. Thanks!

Try Walmart for fitted playpen sheets - they're 2 for $10. And Babies R Us has a ton to select from as well.

Parents must provide me with the playpen, 2 fitted playpen sheets, a blanket & stuffy/soos, or if they're on a cot, a mattress protector (crib size works for my cots), 2 sheets, pillow, blanket & stuffy. If they don't provide these items on the first day of care, they're not to stay over for nap.
I ask for 2 sheets just incase of a kid getting sick, or that baby that's super drooly! I wash the sheets every 2nd week.

Put it this way, how would you like it to sleep on one of those vinyl sleep mats without a sheet over them!? NO THANKS!

I did look in our Walmart last week, but they didn't have anything like that. I may head to Whitby to Babies R Us on the weekend.

They have a bunch from Kushies to Organic brands....look in the isle with the playpens, they have them hanging above the displays.

(I was shopping for a baby shower last week so I still remember)

I use cribsheets tucked in all around in the playpens and twin bed sheets draped over my cots and stuck under the legs, depending on the age of the child.
