Sheets look ok although baby not here yet! Aug 16, 2009
By Kath70 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!
****UODATE******* Baby is a year old and these sheets still look just like they did on the first day I put them on the bed. Just THRILLED with them. They performed exactly as expected. I was worried that the white ones might stain but that hasn't been the case for us. I think I have changed the bottom of the sheets only a handfull of times, basically just when my guilt kicks in and I think I should. Such an easy product to use - and we have the cot at the lowest level now so I reckon it would be even harder to change the usual sheets in this configuration.

Great Idea, but I found a better one Dec 08, 2010
By VeganGem The QuickZip Sheet Set is a great idea--easy to use, and great quality. However, the set only comes with one base and one top sheet, so you have to buy a separate spare top sheet for those "middle-the-night" bedding changes that this product is supposed to ease. That adds up to a lot of money. Plus, these aren't waterproof, so you have to buy their mattress pad (which did poorly in other customer reviews) or another brand of waterproof pad. Again, more money. I found a product called ZipSheets at [...] and they are better in every way. They were on sale for $49 and included the base and TWO top sheets (called piddle pads), which are WATERPROOF with a hospital grade barrier fabric! No need for a separate mattress pad or a spare sheet bought separately. The piddle pads are also quilted, which is a nice touch. Their webiste does a side-by-side 7-point comparison to four similar products, and the ZipSheets are clearly superior. Unfortunately Amazon doesn't sell ZipSheets, but should. You can still add them with the Universal Wish List. Plus, they offer the same product for twin-size beds, which I shared with a coworker who is caring for a sick elderly parent who is incontinent. One last thing, QuickZip doesn't offer flannel top sheets, which are a must in winter, in my opinion. I contacted the company and they said that they don't offer it because the flannel doesn't keep its shape. Well, I ended up sewing a piece of prewashed flannel onto one of the top sheets and it worked just fine. I'll probably do the same with the ZipSheets. Good luck!

not impressed Sep 16, 2009
By Ivy Was thrilled with the idea at first, but not with the sheets. The description says they will fit matresses 5.5-7 inches deep. That is a bit of a problem, because there will be loose fabric unless your mattress is 7". But wait, they shrink!!! And I believe by more than the 3% stated on the company website. (BTW, the product description on Amazon says "preshrunk"). My mattress is Baby Luxe Organic (6 inches deep) and I breathed a sigh of relief when I found out the sheets shrunk after washing in warm water and drying in low heat. So now the sheets fit around the mattress (they were loose around it too), but I still need to use a thick mattress pad for a better fit in depth, which I was not planning to get. Since these are bedding items, and also I washed them, the sheets cannot be returned. Basically, changing will be easy with these sheets, but a good fit is a crap shoot. I also HATE the embellishment around the sheet (about 1 inch fabric with absolutely no practical purpose), since the top sheet shrunk by more than the bottom, and so the embellishment, instead of being at the corners of the crib, is inside.
If you must buy, proceed with caution. And be prepared to fiddle with bedding items until you get them to behave.
The only reason why I am giving 3 stars instead of 1 is because they are 200 count 100% cotton sheets, and most crib sheets out there don't even state the thread count (and seem to hide a small polyester content in the back of the package).
UPDATE I resolved the problem by sewing a few strips of 1" wide elastic at the back of the bottom sheet. This took care of the loose fabric, and the sheets fit snugly. The irony is that my kid (now 2) did not sleep a single night on these sheets. He refused to sleep anywhere (crib, pack'n'play, bassinette, etc, except for our bed...). So all you mommas-to-be out there, relax and go with simple (possibly second-hand) sheets at the beginning until you figure out what your kid likes.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!!! Aug 01, 2010
By tbfh1369 I had registered for these sheets (thought they were a brilliant idea) but unfortunately did not receive these as a shower gift. Since I was trying to go overboard with buying baby stuff, I ended up buying two regular crib sheets (two different brands)...which turned out to be a complete waste of money!
One of the regular sheets was a little loose and the other was so snug it was nearly impossible to put it on without damaging the mattress. With both of those sheets, I had to take the mattress completely out of the crib to change the sheets. Not fun at 3 am with an irate baby waiting to go back to bed. After doing that just a few times, I threw those two sheets out, hopped onto Amazon and purchased the Quick Zip Sheet set...which is what I should have just done in the first place.
I LOVE THESE SHEETS!!! I purchased one full set and one extra sheet, which is plenty (unless your kid is prone to exploding diapers, in which case you may want an additional sheet). The color is a nice, crisp light blue/white gingham. The set fits my Colgate Eco Classica mattress nicely. It is not painted-on skintight, but it is not loose enough to cause any concern. It is also comforting that the set wraps all the way around the mattress, so there's no way for my son to pull the sheet off.
The best part, though, is how easy it is to change the sheets. This was such a blessing when my son went through a week-long exploding diaper phase. It seemed like every time I pulled him out of the crib, I needed to change the sheets. With these, it was simply zip off...zip on and violà! It was soooo quick, simple and easy. The zippers are fast and smooth, even after many washings. The time and hassle saved is priceless. I cannot imagine having to go back to regular sheets.
Yes, they may seem a bit pricey at first glance...but once you consider that two decent quality regular crib sheets will run you at least $40, it is worth investing the few extra dollars for these sheets. The convenience is worth every penny!!!

The Best Thing to Come Along For Babies and Moms! Jul 28, 2009
By K. Wolf I never write reviews on items, but I had to write one about these zipper sheets. they are, hands down, the best thing that I have encountered as far as baby gear goes...if you don't buy anything else for yourself or an expectant mom, buy these! They had to be invented by a mom who was going crazy taking a normal fitted sheet off a crib mattress, which involves removing a bumper, pulling the entire mattress out of the crib, then re-assembling the whole thing...not fun at 2AM with a crying baby! When I found these, I immediately ordered them for myself...and have been ordering them for every girlfriend who is having a baby ever since! They are worth every penny. Order the sheet set, then one extra top sheet--best price I've found on these is on Amazon. We have never used any other sheets!!
