Is it possible to fold this mat for suitcase packing or is that not recommended?

It folds or rolls fine. Because of the odor of the mat, I folded mine into a carryon bag. I didn't want it near my clothing.

It's possible but I don't really recommend. Your clothes will smell like rubber. But it is definitely the best yoga mat ive ever had!

The mat is quite thin, and likely would fit in a suitcase rolled up tight, provided the with of the suitcase is of sufficient dimension.Avoid folding, as you would not want to create creases in the mat.Note that this mat has a rubber odour, though the rubber odour dissipates over time, still clothes in contact with the mat would likely pick up some rubber odour. You would want to separate the mat, really any mat for that matter, from your wardrobe.

I now just travel w Gaiam yoga mat towels. There are different styles and thickness - outstanding for hot yoga - and you just lay over the studio funky mats :)I've tried the Manduka towels and they are not nearly as well made and they constantly bunch up on top of mat irritating

I just rolled it up and put it in my checked suitcase, it is a well put together mat and would not fold very well. It does roll up very well though so it is not very bulky.

Yes, this mat resembles a thin rubber material. It's probably best to roll it but it is thin enough to fold. I wouldn't recommend storing it like that, just for short periods of time for transport.

Yes buts it's heavier than described. And the rubber smell will funk up your clothing :(

Rolled up and kept separate from clothing is the recommended way to pack and travel with your mat.

if you roll up the mat, it might be fit your suitcase with wider dimension but i would not fold it.

I would say this would NOT be easy to pack in a suitcase. It's pretty big. Maybe if you broke it down all the way. But I think it would take up a lot of room in the suitcase.

Yes, you could make it to fold, like say, packing it in a suitcase. You probably could roll it, too, to compact it.

No it is not possible to fold this unit. It is closer to the commercial quality used in Laundromats. Compared to other units on the market, if possible I would make space. It is the most useful laundry product since the washboard.

I did not fold it and would probably be afraid to do so as it could make permanent marks to the mat. I checked in the box in which it came and the airline did not charge anything extra for that.

Mine came in an awesome flat zip up carrier (it twists down to a smaller size). So yes, you should be able to pack it easily in a suitcase.

No it cannot be folded. But it is easy to move from one place to another by standing in front facing it tilt it towards yourself until its on the rollers then push or pull it to where you want to move it.

If the suitcase is big enough! It does fold nice and flat. You would just have to check the length.

I have not tried to do that, although the instructions said it should be fairly "easy" to fold it up. Not convinced it's all that easy. Sorry I can't be of more help. Don't the instructions give any info?

Wouldn't be easy as its vacuum sealed when shipped . You could fold it but it wouldn't be small .

I agree with the other answers - it will fold to a reasonable travel size. Our only problem was that it leaked - some items did get quite wet.

Unfortunately is does not fold, we haven't used the third row yet, we will probably have to take it out or roll it somehow. We like the mat, though!

The mat definitely can be cut to any size. As well as being folded. Tuck the bag into the folds with no prob. I got mine to fold to a 7x8x5. I have the 24X42 Mat.

Not really. The folds help the mat stay rolled when you travel with it. But it has never been a problem when lying flat on the table

No. You can't fold it. You wouldn't want it folding while doing tricks on it.

The pouch has a mesh siding and is easy to fold/flatten. For shipping, I would recommend folding the mat and the pouch and shipping in a smaller, cheaper box. I have the 24' x 42' mat and could easily fold it in to a much smaller, easily packable form.
