Where can I buy some good sheets for twin size beds? I just got a used bunk bed that is in great shape, and he said the mattresses have never been peed on or anything. Well, I had the bed 2 nights and now both mattresses have been peed on. (Leaky pull-ups)  Does anyone have a brand or store they recommend? I've never even seen them before for that size....

We use waterproof mattress pads from Lands' End. They are expensive, but I know you can find inexpensive ones for very little at WalMart or just about any department store that sells bedding. I honestly have never heard of rubber or plastic sheets, just the mattress pads that go under the sheets, which have a waterproof liner in them.

I prefer the cheapy mattress cover/protectors.. they're not a "pad" at all so the don't absorb and you can just wipe them dowm.. but they do rip easily it seems.. I keep them together with duct tape to get a decent life out of them. You can get 'em at walmart or the like with the sheets.
You might find higher quality ones at a home medical place.

When my daughter was small we used a combination of a waterproof mattress cover and a "puddle pad" on top of the sheets. More often than not the puddle pad contained the wet enough that didn't have to wash all the bedding, saving lots of time and effort. A friend recommended we go to a fabric store and buy a piece of flannel-ish waterproof fabric, but I see there are also wool puddle pads available as well.

We use a shower curtain. Cut one in half, and you have two mattress protectors. The thicker ones (about $6) last longer and don't crack. HTH

We bought ours at Target. They are waterproof - the side against tme mattress is a plastic material and the side that goes against the sheet is a sort of brushed cotton feel. They also had a cheaper version that did not have the soft side. We have had ours for years and they have held up well.

That's what I have. I have two, one on and one off. Those pull-ups leak all the time.
