Bassinet sheets quest

CK121011

Hi sorry if this was asked already. I tried the search option and didn't find much. I got a bassinet from my cousin and it comes with a thin mattress and a thin covering over that. I bought standard cradle/bassinet sheets and they are way too big! What do you use for sheets on these? Sorry if this is a stupid question but baby is due in 4 weeks and I feel like I have nothing for he/she to sleep in without those sheets! TIA

see if you can't find your bassinet sheet size on amazon. There are actually many different standard sizes for bassinets and then there are the non-standard sizes as well. You'll have to measure the mattress and find a sheet that will fit it. I have an antique bassinet that I was able to find a mattress and sheet for in a non-standard size on amazon, so you might luck out with yours.

In my search for sheets to fit my arms reach cosleeper I did see mini bassinet sheets, maybe try searching for those?  I ended up just using the sheets made for the arms reach cosleeper so I'm no further help!

My bassinet and its sheets are a hand-me-down so I'm prefacing by saying I am of absolutely no help here.

I just have to stop in to say that the thread title had me picturing someone on an actual QUEST for bassinet sheets. I know it's supposed to be short for "question" but I'm immature.

Hahaha thank you bethugknee for the laughs!! I needed that. I guess it is kind of a quest as well as a question!! Lol
Yea I didn't realize that the size of he mattress would be so awkward when trying to find the sheets but all of your ideas have been very helpful! Thanks

Ooooh, question, not quest.  Right over my head.  *oops*

I have an antique bassinet as well.  LO is part of fourth generation to use it.  Anyway, before I was born, my mom made new sheets as she's very crafty like that.  If you're not crafty, I'd say search on Amazon or take a pillow case or a slightly oversized sheet and tuck it under the mattress as tightly as possible.  A friend of mine did that with her crib since her mom made her a bunch of larger lightweight blankets out of cotton.

You can do an amazon search by manufacturer too. Ours is Carter's so I can search for Carter's bassinet sheets and find some more likely to fit but yeah did bit have them for dd. I just washed the sheet that came with it a lot and had a few handy dandy pillow cases.
