I have the cots and the stack together so they really don't take up much space...possibly less than the mats. I love them as they are really comfy and the kids are off the floor (my kids sleep in the basement and the floor is pretty cool).

I have looked at the ones that fold up but figured by the time I folded 3-4 mats and placed them side by side it would take up as much space as stacking 3-4 on top of each other. The downside is the size whereas the crib mattresses even work well with 4-5 year olds due to width and length. By the time you add a pillow you lose space.
