It has a wire outer rim, you can S-fold it into a smaller circle but it still takes up some space. Be careful not to stick the suction cup holders onto your rear defroster strips.

I think you would have to be ready with something to keep it rolled up, i.e. shrink-wrap material. It is not really for a temporary mattress use. It is a mattress!

Yes you can roll it up after each use it will be a rather large roll. I love my mat and I only have an underneath my elliptical machine I'll begin. It would be perfect for garage because it's thick

Yes, they roll up. It is pretty sturdy plastic though so it still takes up some room. I keep them stored in the box they came in. The dimensions of the box is about the smallest space it can take up.

I just received one a couple weeks ago, love it btw. It comes rolled up in a vacuum sealed plastic bag inside a card board box. I don't see any reason why you can't leave it packaged for as long as you need.

once the bed is opened it doesn't roll back up after it expands. I don't think it's a good option if your planning to store it nightly.

It comes rolled and compressed. After unrolling and laying out it needs time to expand.

You can roll it as hard as you want without damaging it. It will expand back to its original shape. I have travelled with it lots of times rolled up and it always gets back to its normal shape.

For off-season storage, it rolls up and there is a strap to hold it in place. We got the roll to about 2 feet diameter without a big effort. We stored it standing up inside an outside storage room. Our grandkids and neighbor kids love this mat. This is our second season with it and it has been great. During the summer we just pull it up onto the dock when not in use.

I really like mine. I have cans and boxes on mine and have no problem rolling it out. Hope that helps.

It is powder coated so that will help, but I would store it when possible. It is nice and light and folds do storage is easy.

I keep the plastic insert that comes with the board and reroll it onto that each time. If I don't the roll may get smashed Causing folds to form in the mat. Then I'd never get it to lay flat again.

I usually leave it down, but I think it would be very easy to roll up for storage, it's very flexible.

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)

I does better to lay it flat somewhere, but it will roll up and then lay flat again after you pull it out again. The edges will warp some with the rolling.

it's fairly flexible but not really enough to roll up. I store mine in the box just slide it between my desk and the wall it's only about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.

I have always left it upright. Should be a sealed system and can be stored lying down, but I would not.
