Does this mattress need a separate waterproof cover or can I just use it with normal crib sheets?

It is waterproof, but we use a thick organic cotton cover under the sheet more for comfort than anything else.

This has a waterproof cover on one side, but we used another waterproof cover on top of it to protect our investment (just in case). We have used it at times without the cover and we have not had any leaks go through, so you could probably do without the cover with no problem.

Hi Ariana, I did not buy a mattress. Instead I purchased crib batting from JoAnn along with some of their cuddly soft fabric (super soft and kinda fleecy) and wrapped the batting with it. I just laid it in there and cut/folded it under as needed. My little one loved it! We also purchased some cheap Velcro so that we could hold it closed on trips. For the price, this is a great bassinet! Enjoy your little one and congrats! :)

It should go at least under the fitted sheet. We actually put ours right on the crib mattress and then put the waterproof fitted sheet/pad covering the Dex Pad and then the crib sheet onto that.

Yes , my experience with water proof covers is that they are a bit bigger than the actual mattress . I think waterproof cover and sheets are the same thing, but just to communicate clearly I am referring to a waterproof mattress cover.

I don't. The mattress is already waterproof. However, adding another layer such as a waterproof mattress would make a slightly cozier bed.

You need a mattress protector. The "mattress" covering is the same type of material that the sides of the bassinett are made of. You can't submerge it in water, only wipe it down.

It comes with a waterproof pad that is the mattress, you don't need a mattress cover. The sheet that comes in the box fits perfectly. Not sure about any sheets bought separately.

We use a separate Colgate mattress cover. It is the same material as the exterior of the mattress but easily removable/washable. It's pricey but high quality.

The cotton cover is not removable, so I use a waterproof mattress cover and a crib sheet

I use a waterproof sheet saver http://www.amazon.com/American-Baby-Company-Organic-Waterproof/dp/B001KZH6AG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1277471707&sr=1-1. It's the perfect size and ties right on to the four corners of the rocker. Also, the cover itself is easily removable and washable, but the sheet saver is more convenient.

No you don't. I've never even bought a mattress protector cause all my son's toddler mattresses are the waterproof material. Just wipe clean in case of a accident. Until they're in a regular twin mattress, you really don't need the protectors.

You need a cover or it will get dirty. I use a waterproof pad over it (but under the cover) also because it doesn't have a water barrier.

There is a fitted sheet and flat sheet. The fitted sheet fits around a standard crib mattress nicely. nice quality sheets

"Need"? No. A standard fitted crib sheet is somewhat larger than the mattress and works fine for us. It's far from an elegant solution but it stays securely on the mattress despite our very active sleeper. When our son was younger we would wrap a swaddle around the mattress (plenty of width, about 2 inches too short) and that worked well also.

This product doesn't have a zipper so the mattress isn't completely sealed. The sheets won't slip off of the product. This is 100% waterproof with a urethane membrane on the inside of the product. If the urethane membrane is damaged in any way this product will no longer be 100% waterproof. National Allergy

I use a regular crib sheet and use suspender type things to keep it pulled tight across the back ... Other than that, I don't know.

I used a water resistant organic wool pad between the mattress and sheet. Works great, especially because the mattress is so lightweight, it's easy to change the sheet.
