So, how do you find the right bassinet bedding size?

If you wish to use a bassinet that you already have, you will want to be sure to measure your bassinet before buying your bassinet bedding. To find out the best bedding fit for your baby bassinet measure your bassinet mattress at the widest and highest parts of the mattress. Use the same measurements for ordering a bassinet bumper pad and order it in the same size as your sheets. For the bassinet skirt and bassinet liner, use your mattress measurements and also measure the top of your basket to the floor. This measurement is the main consideration if you want a long skirt.

However, the best way to ensure that your bedding will properly fit your bassinet is to buy a baby bassinet and bassinet bedding combo. We know. It may seem like you are buying something unnecessary when you already have a perfectly good baby bassinet that you yourself slept in when you where a baby, but there are some size differences in new bassinets and the ones made when we were babies. This means that bassinet bedding sizes have changed as well. Bassinet and bassinet bedding combo’s can be found for prices ranging between approximately $50 to $150. There are an array of options in bassinet and bedding designs and various features that can affect the price.
