DC napping question

Hi - I just found a note posted by the sign in sheet at my DS daycare that the children will no longer be sleeping on cots but will be sleeping on the carpet instead. I am moderately grossed out by this because numerous children, teachers and parents all walk on that carpet with their shoes on - tracking in who knows what. My son is 2 and his sisters also attended this DC but have always slept on cots. I am not sure of why they are making the change. What do your kids sleep on for nap time at this age at DC?
Thanks
ETA: This is what they slept on up until today

Re: DC napping question
At his current daycare DS sleeps on a nap map that we provide. We bring it on Monday and take it home for washing on Friday.
When he slept on the cot, did he sleep directly on it? At DS's prior DC he slept on a cot and we brought a sheet, so it isn't as if he ever slept directly on anything at DC.
ETA: I just also wanted to add that DS's nap mat is super cute also and has his name embroidered on it and has an attached pillow and blanket flap. He calls it his bed. I bought ours from a monogramming place by my house (that also did the personalization) but target, amazon, and lots of other places sell similar things. Some people just have a kindermat, and then on etzy there are people that make covers for them that are really cute (sometimes the kindermat is included sometimes it's not). Wildkin is a popular brand of nap mat sold on amazon and I've seen it at Learning Express and other boutique children's stores near me.
There's a whole industry of cuteness associated with DC/preschool nap mats.
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I ended up expressing my concerns to the Director when I did pick up. I guess the other locations for this daycare sleep directly on the floor but the kids are in sleeping bags. (Still gross and I cannot believe the other parents do that) . She agreed that the set up of our particular room is not conducive to sleeping on the floor. Our DC has rules posted about taking off shoes in the room - but parents are the worst offenders and never follow it. She sent me an email this morning and said we are going back to cots and that is was a trial run. Yeah! If they go back to the floor I will be purchasing my own nap map.
