What Do Your Kids Nap On?

The sheets come in lots of 12 for $6. I can't see ever needing more than 6 cots total, so that's actually really affordable. I bet shipping is a b**ch though for the cots.

The sheets are $5.95 per sheet, not $5.95 for the entire lot of 12.

ooohhh, see, that was confusing, . THanks for clearing it up! Still decent though.

You should let the parents provide the sheet and send their sheet home on Fridays to get washed. Why do the extra laundry? The nice thing about cots is that they don't require a sheet to be put on them. Even if you use a sheet you will have to sanitize the cot itself and we do that weekly at daycare even though everyone has their own.

They have a standard size that's only $21 (unassembled) or $25 (assembled) apiece (http://www.schoolsin.com/Cots/ELR-0596.html)

I'm strongly considering these now! (The toddler size, anyway)

I make my own sheets for these. I cut a large sheet into the appropriate size leaving enough room to finish each edge, then sew a small piece of elastic around each corner so that they loop around the legs to hold them in place. It's much cheaper than buying the ready-made sheets.

I know! I was licking my chops when I put 24 in my cart. I went to check out and almost choked when i saw the total. I should have know it was too goos to be true.

I would like to try to make my own like MyAngels mentioned. I don't know the first thing about sewing though. My grandmother would cringe if she heard me say that. LOL.

If you can sew a straight line with a sewing machine, you can make these, they're so easy. I just fold each edge under twice (to eliminate an unfinished edge) and run a line of stitching along the edge, then sew a piece of elastic on each corner so that it crosses the corner to hold the sheet in place on the cot. It takes me literally 5 to 10 minutes to make each one.

I'll give it a shot.

I have to come up with the money to get cots first, though! I will probably only get 4 because it will be a good long time before my own kid(s) don't count to my numbers.
