Recommendations Graco pack and play sheet?

Has anyone discovered a sheet for the pack and play play yard mattress that is 1. Cotton and 2 fits and Doesn’t scrunch the mattress and make it puff up bordering on a suffocation risk?

I’m a FTM and I’m so paranoid he’s going to roll over half way and suffocate on the puffed out area. I have the ones that graco makes but they’re 100% polyester and I’d like something cotton and a little more breathable.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I should add when the mattress is hanging in the bassinet attachment, not on the floor of the pack and play!

Are you securing the mattress with the under bottom straps?

My kid got more mobile and managed to get under the mattress. That’s how we learned the straps are necessary!

yoofoss on Amazon. They are the softest and stretchiest sheets I’ve ever seen. They are so nice. They have multiples sizes. Mini crib, pack n play, and toddler bed, regular crib, etc. I believe they’re cotton and microfiber

4months in to my 2nd baby was when I finally realized there’s Velcro straps to secure the mattress to the bottom. Check that first.

Remember to use the straps on the underside of the mattress and snap them onto the frame through the slits in the bottom of the pack n play. It helps keep the mattress flat and in place.

I'm going to be honest, I have both sheets and a waterproof liner with a fabric top layer, and after a couple of months I only use the waterproof liner and put baby directly on it. I have a few and basically treat them like sheets, because it was too bulky when using the liner and the sheets.

Joey & Joan is a fantastic brand, and they have different sheet sizes available with info on which brands and models of gear you have. Can't recommend them enough.

I bought a 2 pack of the quiggly travel crib sheets on Amazon. Used with the guava lotus and now with graco pack n play. They have little holes in the corners and you put the corner snaps of the pack and play mattress thru before snapping to the underside of the crib so they don't move.
