Need Ideas For Making A Cover For Cots

[mac60]

I got my cots from Discount School Supply. Now I need some type of cover for them. I am wondering if anyone uses a "sleeping bag" type cover. I am thinking a small fleece throw, and stitching it half way, they can crawl into it and have a sheet/blanket all in one. I am wondering if this will work.

Any ideas for cots?

i have those kindergarten mats and i would love to have a sheet that fits them! I use my own family blankets for the kids and they are huge. The kids also move all over the place when the sleep. A sheet that covers the mat would be great!

I use crib sheets on the kindermats. they work just great. It will take a few stretches but it works like a charm.

when the child wakes, they take their sheet back to their cubby box. I wash all sheets on friday or sooner if soiled....

Ask a friend who sews to make something like a pillowcase for them. Mine also have velcro at the opening so when they move them around or put them in their storage area they don't come off the mat.

I don't like the kids inside them because I don't think the mats last as long and the sheets rip at the seams.

I bought the cot sheets along with my cots from DSS. They were designed for the purpose and it seemed easier. Then for Christmas I made each kid a fleece blanket that is the perfect size for the cots. Now I need to make them pillows because half the time the kids use the blankets as pillows

We use crib sheets on our cots. They fit perfectly and the kids can put them on and take them off on their own.

I have stacking cots.....will the crib sheets still work, as the legs stack into the cot below.

I use crib sheets and they hook the bottom over the legs.

Yep, it's only a thin layer of sheet over the bottom of the legs. The dc my dd went to when she was a baby did the same thing. They stacked them 10 high. I only have 4 but same idea.

Thank you. I will get a couple and try them out.
