Is it possible to roll this mats up? Or are they pretty firm? I work in Montessori school, and would like to order them for lessons...

Not quite sure why you would want to roll them unless you mat rings you want to put them in. Yes, they would roll and flatten out again immediately. They would be hard for small hand to rolls. Not sure how good it would be for them long term.

Yes, you can roll them up. They are very flexible. I keep mine flat so I do not know if they are rolled up if they would lie flat again. They do not take up much room. I love mine.

They are definitely flexible enough to roll up, I am just not sure if they will lay flat after storing them rolled. I store them flat because I honestly don't think they would.

The mat can be rolled up, but you do need something to secure the roll, such as a large rubber band. It's about 16 inches in circumference rolled up tightly.

Yes, it can be rolled up for storage. I wouldn't have rolled my first mat up after I'd used it so much, I would have been afraid it would crack. My second one, which is not so used, is rolled up in its box right now, no problem.

They are rounded plastic, as long as they don't get to full of dirt and grit they should be ok. it would roll very well on hard wood, but if you are worried a rug or mat underneath also works well.

I have 9 squares down. Once you put them together, they stay together pretty well. However, I did have to put weights down on the corners to keep the entire block of squares from sliding around. I use these mats for plyometrics, so I'm doing a lot of jumping type moves. Without the weights on the corners they would slide around some, but with the weights on each of the corners, they don't move at all. These are perfect for Plyometrics and absorb alot of the impact you would get on other surfaces, so I would highly recommend them.

the matts are really good i like them alot but the material is not strong enough to drop weights on and stuff but in your circumstance that could work but you could just get the 3/4 of an inch matts but either way they should work

I hope the writing side is up, as that is how I use it. The mat has been working out very well for me. I just do some balance poses on the hardwood floor as I am not good enough yet to do them on the mat.

The one I received flattened out immediately! I love this mat. Another mat that I ordered (different brand) has yet to flatten out after six months of use. Maybe you can exchange the one you received.

I have this mat on a wood floor. It is connected to a second mat. They do not slip. They are heavy. Those using it are 70 a 165. They do dance and gymnastics in it. One mat is not enough to cover what they like to do.

I prefer something a little more substantial for my picture mats. These have a slight curvature to them, so you would have to press them until they are flat. The curvature works well for my purposes. I use one on each side of 8x10s when I must mail them. For this they are great.

Nope. I bought a set for my boyfriend for Christmas. When he saw that I ordered an entire set, he immediately said wanted just the front ones; he didn't want an entire 4-mat set. They are SO beautiful and plush! The creamy tan is just marvelous, and the former ones look shabby by comparison. As soon as they were in place, he was extremely happy with the 4 of them, and found another use for the other mats that these replaced.

Sorry, my sons told me they rolled them up close to like they were when they got them. Leads me to believe they didnt roll them up tight.

Yes, that is what our class did. You do need quite a bit of space to roll thin.

Hi Julianne. Please contact me directly through the Amazon message system. Are you folding the mat to store it? Please store the mat rolled up, not folded. Folding the mat will cause crease damage.Please contact me:)Thanks,Square36 Team

I never thought about that. I guess it's that I just naturally tend to put the mat the other face up if the corners stick up. Maybe I haven't had them long enough to see the problem. All I know is that I love them. One possibility is that I keep my knife almost razor sharp and therefore I do not apply a lot of pressure which could over time cause a stretching of the material. I hope this helped.

Hello Bonnie, the other people answered correctly. It rolls up like a rug and gets quite compact. The only problem I have is that it is a little stiff when rolled up, even more so than an excercise mat. So if you leave it rolled up too long it retains shape for a few days after unfolding.

It is used in our home to practice gymnastics such as front and back walk overs , back bends, cartwheels, ext., We have hard wood floors as well and (slipping) it hasn't been an issue. We love you the mats. They can be velcroed together. They are durable and not too heavy to move around for placement. Hope that helps.
