Sheets look ok although baby not here yet!
My husband and I are expecting a baby. We have bought a crib with no drop sides and I was concerned about the labor involved in changing sheets regularly given the mattress is harder to access in these cribs. When we discovered these sheets on Amazon we thought they might just do the job as theoretically only the top of the sheet set needs to be unzippered and washed if baby makes a mess in the bed. Obviously I am happy to wash the entire sheet set regularly but in the middle of the night I'd rather just replace the top of the sheet if I can get away with it.
When the sheets arrived I was slightly disappointed to find them a trifle too big for the crib mattress. I still wanted to keep them though and I decided to sew a little elastic to the underneath of the base portion of the sheets to tighten up the fit.
Fortunately I washed these items before doing any sewing. They shrank to the perfect size in the wash and dry. (Washed in cold water and dried using a low setting in the dryer).
These sheets now fit my standard crib mattress (DaVinci Twilight 6" Crib Mattress) perfectly.
I can't give these sheets 5*'s because I haven't yet actually used them and I was surprised that such expensive sheets shrank. However I am absolutely delighted at the good fit now so really cannot complain!More detail ...
