Tell me about your toddler's bed

If you have a child in a toddler (or other non-crib bed) bed - does he/she use a flat sheet? Does the bed have blanket that gets tucked in?

Now that DD is in a toddler bed I'm wondering if I should add a sheet or blanket that gets tucked in. My thinking is that it might help her stay in one spot.  Sort of like swaddling - will it give her the message of security and perhaps get her to stay in bed?

Thoughts? I'm desperate people - I need my sleeping child back!   Stick out tongue

    Well, my kids aren't toddlers, but are still in toddler beds. Does that count? :) FWIW - they still fit in their beds and the only option for their current room are bunk beds and I am not convinced of their safety yet.

    Both have fitted sheets and copious amount of blankets. Gray likes one of his blankets tucked in so he shimmies in like he is in an "envelope'  and then piles the other blankets on top. Carter actually sleeps on the floor every night. I have no idea why - he just says he likes it better. Whatever and we don't care.  He sleeps directly on the carpet with his pillow and we pile his blankets on him.Silly kid.

    That is def worth a shot! They make toddler bed sheets that are like a fitted sheet at one end, so they stay in place.

    Henry just has the fitted sheet on the mattress and small blanket that is loose. He doesnt usually like covers, so he often either ignores the blanket, or curls up holding it.

    We are transitioning Owl to a toddler bed with a fitted sheet and a loose blanket.

    Ditto this. GL with the sleep issues! We had two back-to-back STTN nights this week, and I can see how hard it would be to go back to non-STTN!
