Arm's Reach Co-sleeper

Any STM who used one? Did you buy the arm's reach brand sheets or would regular bassinet sheets work?

Re: Arm's Reach Co-sleeper

  • I'm not a STM, but I read somewhere that a king sized pillow sheet fits over the mattress. I'm curious to see the replies because I just purchased their Clearvue model that I plan to use as a bassinet.

  • I used it with both DD and DS and I just ordered sheets from arms reach - I was happy with them, I never tried any other sheets.  You'll love it - it's my favorite baby item :)

  • I used the sheets that go with it.  I'm not really a big fan of the co sleeper.  I had a hard time using the co-sleeper having it actually attached our bed.  It made it really hard for me to get out of bed.  I had to crawl in and out the foot of the bed.  Also, I was always afraid of my comforter falling into the cosleeper and covering the baby.  We ended up putting up the 4th side and putting it a few feet away from our bed. 
  • Our DS slept in the Arms Reach cosleeper for the first 3 months.  We took it from room to room since it is on wheels and we lived in a ranch at the time so all 4 sides were up. We even used it with the nap nanny in it once we found out he had some reflux issues.  It was a great product for us and we have it out again ready to use for DD.  I nursed and never had a problem getting him in and out of it right next to the bed.  I bought some Arms Reach sheets the first time around and just bought some pink bassinett sheets that fit it just fine.

  • We have the Arms Reach Original size (which is as big as the play yards/pack n plays) and we used the MamaDoo Kids mattress topper for extra comfort and support, which we now use with our Chicco play yard when visiting family. It folds in 3 so it also very portable. We use the MamaDoo Kids play yard sheets also, and also the Koala Baby travel yard sheets. I have heard that American Baby Co porta-crib sheets fit too. Good luck!
