Naturepedic Waterproof Flat Portacrib Pad, 24x38

I purchased these hoping to use them to line our Graco Pack and Play with them. We planned to use the bassinet portion of the pack and play for our newborn to sleep close to our bed until it was time to transition him into our room and I wanted something waterproof and not full of too many chemicals to put between his mattress and the sheet. These were not an exact fit and didn't stay flat under the sheet. We ended up putting them over the sheet and tucking them in. We put a large thin receiving blanket over the pad for softness and tucked that in also. It worked while the baby was small. Now that he is bigger we have these under the sheet of the mattress. It is still large enough to cover most of the bed and easily covers where he sleeps and spits.

BUT despite these not exactly fulfilling their anticipated role very well, they've been great for under blankets everywhere else! Even with a blanket beneath our little one, he can spit enough to damage carpet, our bed, grandma's couch etc. We use these everywhere to keep our baby from soaking through.

They wash and dry well, but be sure not to put more than one into a load of laundry; They work well to line the washer too and can block the machines spin cycle.

We have the Naturepedic crib mattress, as well as the Naturepedic waterproof crib pad. We have the full mattress pad on the mattress, then the portacrib pad over that (we have portacribs at both grandparents house, so we bring this pad along). I would say that unless you are buying the full-sized crib waterproof mattress pad to protect the mattress from dustmites, I would recommend the portacrib pad. The portacrib pad is much easier to take on and off since it doesn't have the elastic corners to deal with, which means you basically have to take the mattress out of the crib to put it back on. The BEST combination would be to have your mattress, the portacrib pad, and zip sheetsThen you never have to take the mattress out of the crib to change the sheets.

I love the texture, the softness of the pad. It is totally natural and that for me gives me a sense of safety and security. We bought a mini crib, and we have a normal mattress we tried to get a naturepedic or other brand, organic mattress, but they only sell pads (which don not have the firmness required for an infant). The only problem I had with this pad was precisely the lack of elastic corners. Infants move, and if the pad is not secure enough, it will move as well, creating a risk of suffocation. I bought large elastic at a craft store and sew it to the corners, so the pad would be well attached to the mattress. Despite that I still think it is a fantastic product, and I actually have 2 of these.

Its longer than my pac n play mattress by about 1.5 inches but tucks under and seems to stay in place flat under a sheet with elastic all the way around it. I've only washed it once, so maybe it shrinks more. Seems the best option for a pac n play protection that's organic.
