You could use yoga mats from Tesco with a fresh cover for each child :D

I got some yoga mats from tesco and jsu double them and put cot sheets on them :)
Kids find them comfy, they were about £7.99 and also double up when making dens lol

I have looked at sleep/ nap mats but not needed nor used them!! They seem expensive for what they are and have to agree, I would look at a cheaper alternative such as the rollout mats or yoga mats as already mentioned!!

well I bought some foam on ebay and made my own nap beds. I made covers out of fleece and they seem to work really well. I will try to post a picture tommorow.

I oredered some made to measure, www.babywisemattresses.co.uk
Basically the company make travel cot mattresses and mattresses for awkward sized cots etc.
I think mine cost £46.73 for 2, and they fold in half too so easy to store, they also have an optional plastic cover so they can be wiped clean, just use a sheet on top. My size was 119 x 59 x 5cm so thick enough to be comfortable:)

That's a good idea but are you allowed to use foam for fire regulations?

I bought the foam from an upholstery supplier and they said it conforms to regulations
