I was wondering if any of you have a good recommendation on some good quality nap mats or cots? I have some vinyl ones that haven't held up too well. Cots I'm unsure of because I don't really have room to store them if they can't be put in a closet when not in use. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I use 3 inch porta-crib mattresses. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...KIKX0DER&psc=1
Each child has their own and it easily lasts from the crib until they are off to school.
I use slip on sheets, laundered daily. https://www.schoolspecialty.com/kind...-sheet-1400645
Here, mats must be 2-inches thick, minimum. After laying on them for a few weeks all mats compress, so a 2-inch mat won't meet regs in less than a year. :dislike:- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

I use crib sheets, the kids close them up and help put them away.

I have both. I use the cots in two stacks, each stack with a mat on it, and slip cover them to use as sofas for the kids. I think the mats are more comfy, but they don't have a rigid edge that the kids feel in their sleep, and they roll all over the floor. But they don't do that on cots.

and I really like them. But when I got them it was a few years ago and much cheaper.
