We used a crib and I had two fitted sheets and 4 flat sheets.
I wrapped a flat sheet over a fitted sheet and if she was sick or soiled the sheet I could just pull the flat sheet off. Saves attempting to find sheets in the night !
I had 4 or 5 which proved to be a bit much but my mom recommended I have them as you never know if your baby is going to be one to burst through the diaper. I know people whose babies had explosive poops every night and I could not imagine doing laundry at 2am. Better be safe than sorry! My son was a puker so I think 3 was good for us. We had a 'sheet saver' that covered just enough under his head so I didn't need to change the sheets as often.
I'm going to have to buy more this time as some have gotten quite stained and gross. I'd hate to see a newborn sleep on them.
For the bassinet I just folded and tucked in some receiving blankets as sheets.
Think we had about 5 fitted sheets and a couple of flat sheets, we did have to change the sheets in the night every so often so definitely came in handy to have the extra ones, saved washing in the middle of the night! Xx
