Mattress pad for pack n' play?

thebigmare · January 2011

Did you buy/registry for a mattress pad for your pack n'play? I haven't, should I?

I've always just used an extra large waterproof pad for the PNP to protect it from accidents. I like them because they can be used other places - on the floor, in the crib, on the bed, etc.

I had a waterproof one that didn't fit it very well but it did the job.

My husbands aunt bought me the pack and play, as well as an additional pad. But I'm not going to buy any additional ones, just use receiving blankets once I use it as a playpen

It's definitely good to have something that fits over the provided pad, just to protect from spit up/accidents/etc. Receiving blankets won't work once baby starts moving around in it - they'll pull away from the edges.

I didn't b/c it already came with one but DD HATED it. It wasn't very comfortable. I like the idea of a thicker waterproof one. I may look into this for #2. I'm glad I read your post!

Yup. I didn't like the idea of DD sleeping on plastic. So we got the Organic cover from BBrUs. It's waterproof and pretty thick. I'm sure DD didn't really care. But I just set up the PnP for the new baby and the cover is looking very nice again : )

We have the quilted one that Graco sells that goes with the PNP. It got terrible ratings for getting shredded in the washer/dryer but I've washed it dozens of times and never had one problem (and I don't really sort laundry, so it's been washed with jeans and whatnot). I agree that initially you could use a pad or receiving blanket, but once they start squirming, you'll want something that fits tight over the corners.

ours came with a mattress pad but its not that thick so I am going to get a separate portocrib mattress is put in there to make it more comfy for her and then maybe we will get more use out if then we did with DS.
