how should it be rolled up? with the working surface in or out? my came with it rolled in and it is difficult to keep from curling.

Yeah, it became hard to make flat , after many times wash and roll in the holding case. If you looking for this, I would say good for 3months.

I keep mine rolled out. Don't think it makes any difference once the dough is on it. Haven't had any problems myself, but then I bought it because I have to use the kitchen table and I used to make a huge mess. This mat keeps my flour pretty much contained.

Working surface out. That way the edges will curl down when it's in use and your dough will help press it flat.

I unrolled mine and let it sit flat for a while. I roll it with working surface side out. It seems that with use it seems to stay very flat for me. Others have said to slightly dampen the surface under it so it doesn't slip and stays flatter? hope this helps)

So far so good. Got it for my Christmas baking so it's still new. I roll it with the work surface out and in the case it came with. It's big enough to keep all my mess contained and the dough does keep in down but not from sliding on my counter top. I wet the countertop and that helped a little but it still slides around till the dough gets rolled out far enough.

It comes rolled up pretty tight in the shipment and you can roll it up too, just have to give it time to expand when your ready to use it.

It's rolled up. I put weight on the corners and put it under the sun for a couple of hours, it flattened out completely.Now it's on the floor, I love it.

It rolls out on wheels. It's slightly unstable when in use so it's not a terrible idea to block off a wheel or two in order to keep it in place. Otherwise it's great.

Yup! We haven't had to use any sort of anchors to keep the mat from rolling up. We store the mat flat, but it was rolled up in a box when it arrived. I rolled out nicely.

No problem with them curling up! I haven't had them quite so long but so far, so good. I always make sure I step completely on the mat- so not to "kick" the edges. I can't figure out WHY they are curling. I absolutely LOVE mine.

There are a few reasons this can happen. If you have very long hair, the hair at the outside of the roll won't heat up. Layers help a lot with hair curling! So if your hair doesn't have a lot of layers, this can be one of the reasons. If the section is too thick, the same thing happens-- the hair at the outside of the roll won't heat up at well. Try using smaller sections/less hair, and/or a bigger curler. If you still have issues, talk to your hairdresser (who is familiar with your hair/type/etc) and ask them about the best way to set your hair.

Had no problem with our mat. It also came rolled up in a carton and as I recall it was during cold weather. We just unrolled it and as I recall placed the curled area down until it straightened out and then turned it over the way it should be. This may have taken a day or so, but not as long as you have been dealing with it. Might want to try using a hair dryer that you can direct the heat on to the areas that don't want to lay down???? Would be worth a try. Good luck.

Also, it does need to be broken in (assuming it's not a defect) and mine did the same thing as well when I got it. The more you use it the more that material will relax! Roll away!!!

Hi there. I would agree with lucky buck. Be sure it is level. I shimmed mine with small pieces of non corrugated cardboard, like from a cereal box. It is also good to put a drop of light oil on the metal shafts where they go through the white nylon rollers.

Try putting it upside down on a simmering pot of water. I had to do it several times and there was still a little curl which my husband then curled backward, it now works like it's supposed to.

I believe mine was rolled up, been a while. A caveat, it cannot be used and rolled up multiple times, it is not designed for that, I think it will delaminate over time.

I haven't had that problem. If it is curling on the edges, it may mean that there is some high temperatures near by. Do you have it near the oven and stove? We have one of ours there, but we don't use the oven very often and when we do we move the pad. This is what I would do. I would for sure notify the manufacturer and let them know. It may only be a defect in your pad and I am sure they would replace the pad and would probably like to have the curling one back so they can figure out the problem.

mine was shipped rolled up in a really nice, sturdy, cardboard cylinder. When I pulled it out it looked perfect, no creases or folds. :)

It comes rolled up. As soon as you unroll it and take it out of the packing it rises. I let it sit for 48 hours before I let my kiddo sleep on it.

Because it is in a roll, it will naturally curl. I had no problem cutting it to size and having it lay flat when I pushed down on it. There is no stickiness to it, but it lays nicely.
