Like others have said, no problem in putting them in a stuff sack.
Most manufacturers just advise that you should stuff them into the bag instead of trying to fold or roll them. That is so you don't make folds in the same place repeatedly and make the quilting move or thin out at that point by stretching it.

Grab and go is the whole idea behind BOBs (Bail Out Bags) too.
A lot of people end up with their BOB being a scaled down camping kit in a backpack or small duffle bag with a few mods and tweaks.
When you think about it the requirements are pretty similar.
