I read that the graco sheets for the pack and play aren't great so I bought 2 made by NOJO. Has anyone used these? What do you gals think of the graco sheets?
Thanks

The parents of the 14 month old I babysit brought the Graco playpen sheets for me to use in my playpen and they are terrible. They are super thin (you can see right through them) and do not fit tightly. I've seen and felt the Nojo sheets and they are made of cotton terry material. I didn't like them at all since it reminded me of sleeping on a towel and that doesn't seem too great although I'd definately get them over the Graco ones. I ended up buying two Carters knit playpen sheets from BRU for our playpen. They are like knit jersey sheets and have a nice fit. But for the absolute best quality and softest playpen sheets ever I highly recommend those from www.fleecebaby.com. I have both a full size crib sheet and a playpen sheet from them. They are super thick, soft, and warm and fit perfectly (they have thick elastic all the way around). They are pricey ($24 for the playpen sheet) but I definately have no plans to ever go back to our knit jersey sheets ever again. And if you use the code "special" you can get 15% off your order. HTH.

I used a flannel sheet made by Kushies for my Pack n Play. It was very thick and soft and well made. I ordered it from kidssurplus.com and I think it was around $7 or $8. I read about it on these boards before my DD was born, so if you do a search you might find the link. I also had the terry sheet from NOJO, but it wasn't nearly as nice and I only used it when my Kushies sheet was being washed. If I had to buy again, I'd buy more Kushies and skip the NOJO.

I have to also say do NOT get the Graco sheets, that was a complete waste of money! They are paper thin, scratchy, & don't have elastic all the way around so they ride up constantly. I have one of the terry cloth ones by NOJO & it works much better but I still don't think it's very soft. If my DD was going to be sleeping in or napping in her pack n play much more I'd get the one by Fleecebaby. As it is, she's almost too big for it now so I'm just sticking with the NOJO.

I ordered two from Artic Wolf Dog and really like them. One was a winter Snoopy pattern and the other was a blue race car pattern (which bled a little first washing, so the dark ones should be washed separately at first, however the sheet itself still looks great).

They are very soft, and they have several really cute patterns - I wanted to order more! They have pocket corners instead of elastic, but they stay put, and I've had no problems with them coming off.

We had one Graco sheet, but the baby didn't sleep on it, as he slept mostly on a sheet saver pad. Now we have the Kushies sheets (flannel) that we bought at kidsurplus.com and those are nice.
