Arm's Reach Co-sleeper mattress pad?

[LAParent]

Anyone know where to get a waterproof mattress pad for the Arm's Reach Original Co-Sleeper? Will portable crib sheets still fit on it with a mattress pad?

We have the Mini Co-Sleeper - slightly smaller than the Original, I believe. I am using bassinet and portacrib sheets from Buy Buy Baby on it. For the waterproof pad, at first I used a flat waterproof crib-sized pad (the kind with a flannel surface and rubber in between, sort of stiff), folded in thirds, underneath the sheet. It lays flat but is a little bulky.

But then I took a different waterproof crib sheet, the kind that is quilted and feels a little like cotton wool, cut it into thirds (with pinking shears so I didn't have to hem the sheet) and used each section as a separate pad. Works great and saves $$$ too! (Actually I guess it doesn't matter which kind of waterproof sheet you use, either will do)
