Portable/mini crib sheets for a 5" mattress?

[elizaandmax]

Hello all,

I've just bought a Da Vinci Emily mini crib, and I also bought the coil mattress that fits with it. The mattress is 5" thick, and the portacrib sheets I bought (by ABC) don't fit it (they seem like they're made for a 3" thick pad). Any suggestions on portacrib sheets that would fit?

Many thanks!
Rachel

I'm in the process of finding portacrib bedding for the Emily too; I wouldn't have thought about the thickness of the mattress.
So far the only manufactures of portacrib bedding I've found are:
American Baby Company - http://www.ababycompany.com/
Carousel - http://www.babybedding.com/
Kids Line - http://www.kidslineinc.com/
Lambs & Ivy - http://www.lambsivy.com/ (only the Secret Garden and Froggy Tales)
and Sleeping Partners - http://www.sleepingpartners.com/. They have a really bad web site. I'd email them to see what in their collection is available in the portacrib size.
Also target.com and walmart.com.
I'll keep an eye out.
What are you doing for a sheet protector? Or are you just going to do a mattress pad?

This person does custom sheets:

I used her to make several sheets for my Combi bassinet and play yard since it is an odd size. She did it based on my measurements, site unseen, and they fit perfectly. Great customer service too.
