A three-pack of muslin fitted sheets cut to 33 by 21 inches, which is the bedside sleeper and bassinet size rather than the standard crib size most packs assume. A sheet that does not match the mattress bunches under the baby, which is both a comfort and a safety issue. Muslin is the fabric choice because it is breathable and gets softer through the wash rather than pilling. Three in the pack is the practical count, since one is on the mattress, one is in the wash, and one is in the drawer for the middle of the night. They are machine washable and dryer safe. Best fit: bedside sleepers, standard bassinets, and anyone who has already given up on crib sheets fitting.

Frequently asked questions
Will these fit my bassinet?
Measure your mattress first. These are cut at 33 by 21 inches for bedside sleepers and similar bassinets, which is smaller than a standard crib sheet.
Can they go in the dryer?
Yes, machine wash and tumble dry. Muslin gets softer with each cycle, though it comes out wrinkled.
Is muslin warm enough?
Muslin is breathable rather than insulating, which is what you want against a sleeping infant. Room temperature and sleep sack choice handle warmth.
Do they shrink?
Muslin can tighten slightly on the first wash, which usually improves the fit rather than hurting it. Wash before first use.
