QuickZip Sheets & Mattress Pads

[racerl1]

I am ordering QuickZip Crib sheets. Do I need to order their mattress pad, or will a regular one work? Do you usually have to change the mattress pad each time you change the sheets? They also have waterproof sheeting that is less expensive. What would the benefit be of buying the mattress pad instead of the waterproof sheeting?

Hi. We have Quick Zip sheets, and what I did was to cut the "skirt" (or the stretchy part) off a Lands End crib mattress pad. You will need a flat topper mattress pad of some kind as opposed to a regular one that wraps around the sides of the mattress. Otherwise, the Quick Zip system is pretty useless. Although you won't need to change the mattress pad every time you change the sheets, new babies will typically leak through the sheet if they leak at all.

I haven't looked at their waterproof sheeting, but I'm imagining its pretty thin. The advantage of a mattress pad is that it provides just a touch of softness (over a hard crib mattress) without putting a baby at SIDS risk.

HTH some.
