The Best Bassinet Sheets for the Most Popular Bassinets

Bassinets are kind of our thing. We have researched, tested and reviewed them for months because we know every parent need one and should enjoy using it. Most bassinets are pretty straight forward with a simple goal of providing your little one a safe and cozy place to sleep.

However, as new parents you will find yourself digging into the bassinet more times than you can imagine possible. This means that baby will be in there a lot, like really A LOT!

With this in mind, the biggest oversight most parents have about their bassinet is NOT having extra sheets. Yup, you will need extra sheets and most bassinets don’t come with extras and sometimes not even with one.

There is one thing I’m sure of, and its that your baby will make a mess in his bassinet, more than once. Whether it will be from a spill, spit up, leaky diaper or a dreaded blowout, you will surely experience having to do an emergency bassinet sheet change. So why not prepare for it and get yourself an extra one?

Bassinet Sleep Safety

Newborn sleep safety is of utmost importance to every parent. The sleep safety guidelines from all major world health agencies agree on a few important things:

1. Put baby to sleep on his or her back
2. Baby should be alone. No loose blankets, wedges, toys or anything else in the crib
3. The sleeping area should be appropriate for safe sleep and approved by safety authorities. Cribs and bassinets fit the bill, most other things such as swings and car seats are not approved for unsupervised sleep.

Bassinets are amazing! Every bassinet we have reviewed at Upside dad is safety approved so you can be sure that each one of them is safe for your baby to sleep in.

What makes the best bassinet sheets?

When is comes to bassinet sheets and your baby’s sleep, safety should always come first. We always suggest going with sheets made by the manufacturer of the bassinet you have. There are however some third party manufacturers that make very good (and safe) sheets to use. You just need to make sure they are the exact right size for YOUR bassinet.

But there is more to it. Here are the factors we take into consideration when choosing the best bassinet sheet.

Soft to touch

Just like your sheets, you don’t want your baby to be rubbing his sweet newborn face on rough materials. Not only is it uncomfortable but baby skin can be extremely sensitive.

When choosing the best bassinet sheet make sure to check the materials and always go for soft, high quality cotton when available.

Waterproof

Most things that will get on your bassinet sheets will be in liquid form. If you want to change only the sheets, you may want to make sure they are waterproof. If not, you may find yourself changing the mattress cover and even having to wash the mattress depending on the size of the mess.

Don’t risk it, and get some waterproof sheets if they are available for your model of bassinet.

Strong Elastics

The elastics that wraps around the edge of the mattress is what keeps it taut and therefore safe for your baby to sleep on. If the elastics are not strong enough and not properly located on the sheets, they may become loose or come off the mattress and that is what can be dangerous.

We always check that the elastics are doing their job well before settling on the winner.

Perfect Sizing

Your bassinet sheets should be made for your bassinet, period. Do not buy a generic sheet or one that was made for another model bassinet.

In the bassinet world, each manufacturer designs bassinets slightly differently so there is no standard bassinet sizing (unlike full-size cribs which are almost always the same size). If you are looking for sheets, you must ensure they ere made for your bassinet and your mattress size.

Oval Bassinet Sheets

Most adult and kid beds are rectangular but the large majority of bassinets are oval. This means the bassinet sheets have to be able to fit an oval bassinet mattress. Since oval bassinets are so common, most manufacturers make sheets that are compatible with oval bassinets.

A square bassinet sheet should not be used in an oval bassinet. Oval bassinet sheets are made in a way that they don’t bunch up. when installed and that’s very important for sleep safety.

Our favorite bassinet sheet for oval bassinets is the Ely’s & Co oval bassinet sheet which is made extremely flexible to fit different shapes and sizes of bassinet mattresses.

Take a look at our comprehensive list below to find some of the best oval bassinet sheets for almost any bassinet in the market today.

Third Party vs OEM Bassinet Sheets

When it comes to bassinet sheets, you have two choices: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or Third Party Manufacturers. OEM’s are always the safest bet because they were made exactly for your bassinet, but that doesn’t mean that third party sheets are not safe. In fact, as long as you have the right size sheets and they fit snugly on your bassinet mattress, there will be no issues using them.

If you can’t find the exact make and model sheets for your bassinet, you have no choice but to go with another brand. That’s why we selected some of the best bassinet sheets below to cover all possible bassinet shapes and sizes.
