Re the "tent sheet":

Matt has one of these too.  He likes it, but there's one problem
that wasn't mentioned.  Since the tent is permanently part of the
bottom (fitted) sheet, there is no way to tuck in a top sheet and
blanket underneath the mattress; they have to just sit inside the
tent loose.  Matt doesn't mind this, but he needs help arranging
them when he goes to bed, and he usually takes the top sheet, blanket,
and pillow out into the living room to play with during the day.
(So far we haven't had much luck trying to discourage this, but
we haven't tried real hard yet.)

Also, he was initially afraid of being trapped in it, since zippers
are hard things for very small children to work.  (This is a pretty
easy zipper, though.)  He and I spent some time in it with him fooling
around with the zipper from the inside and outside, and once he was
convinced he could get out whenever he wanted (you can crawl out under
the tent flaps even with it zipped, too) he was happy.
