My LO slept in the bassinet (top part) for 4.5 months. My newborn is using it too!

We have 3 PNP sheets that we rotate through.

@kjpugs: Yes, they fit perfectly.

I use a naturepedic waterproof portacrib pad and then a fitted sheet over that. It works well.

We used a graco pack n play as a newborn sleeper in our room. Worked great! Used it for about 4 months.

Our LO did not like to sleep in the part you show.....he loved the newborn napper part of it though. It's not that much more expensive and is removable.
Once we transitioned to the main part I didn't use a sheet and the mattress got soiled

I bought a sheet but its too late.

We were wondering the same thing at Babies R Us today! I like the napper attachment (looks so cozy!) but I want to use the bassinet part for nighttime sleep, since it's a flatter surface (and thus safer). Still, the mattress seemed so thin! I might look into the mattress pad @Mrs. Yoyo mentioned.

That is the same one we have as well. I used a quilted pack n play sheet and then a regular pack n play sheet on top of that. Probably unnecessary, but I wanted it to be softer.

ETA: @Weagle - I just read your whole response. That's funny that you did the same thing with the same PNP.

I did not get one with the newborn napper as the Baby Bargains authors seemed to feel the nappers were lest safe/unnecessary. Don't know if there's any truth to the claim that they are unsafe, but we never needed it.

We started our son in his crib but use the pnp for the living room. I had complications with my incision from c-section so we try to minimize me walking back from his room to the living room whenever he was sleeping. DS is now 5 months and we still use the pnp in the living room for his day time nap and his crib for night time sleep.

We use a fitted sheet for the graco mat and a thin waterproof sheet underneath the fitted sheet.

The thin "mattress" lifts out. The reason you probably couldn't lift it out at the store is that it gets velcroed down. If you didn't pull apart the velcro, it would feel like it was stuck down. The mattress is very hard and thin, so we bought a plush velvet-ey sheet that makes the mattress a little more comfortable for DD. We did start with the newborn napper attachment though.
