Thanks for the replies, the mattress is neither a standard or american size, it is wider and slightly longer at 1300 x 760 x 130mm.]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 19:57:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928454&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928454 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928410&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928410 Author: mummymonster

We've got an old 'standard' size cot, and new mattress from baby factory. They only sold fitted sheets for the american size cots. Which are a bit bigger.
I always planned to adjust the american size fitted sheets, but never got around to it. They fit fine, I just have to tug them a bit further under the mattress.]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 19:39:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928410&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928410 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928364&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928364 Author: mummyofprinces

You could just get single sheets and fold them under... will save you money in the long run too!]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 19:14:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928364&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928364 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928323&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928323 Author: Babykatnz

If you cant find fitted sheets that fit properly, you could buy a set slightly too big, unpick the elastic and tighten it enough to fit better, then sew it closed again? Its actually quite simple, I did it for DD's toy barrel by hand (wasnt the design I wanted, so bought some material and hand sewed a cover for it with elastic around the bottom to go over it like a fitted sheet would)]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:23:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928323&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928323 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928320&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928320 Author: High9

Do you know if your mattress is an American size or standard size? American size is bigger than standard size. Also did you buy it from a store? As if they sell sheets then they should also sell sheets that fit it.

I know baby factory sell American size cots and mattresses and have sheets that fit. ]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:19:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928320&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928320 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928311&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928311 Author: MyPeas

We have recently brought a cot which has a mattress of a different size to most cot mattresses, therefore all of the fitted sheets I have found don't quite fit either in width or height or both, some are too small one way and too tall the other way.

I was just wondering what people have found works best either using a too big sheet, slightly too small or just using flat sheets instead?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated before I go out and buy any sheets.

Thanks]]> Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:02:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31458&PID=928311&title=fitted-cot-sheets#928311
