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.

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.

It dose fold and comes with a platic piece that prevents the folding pieces from spreading apart while in your carry on or suitcase. The piece clips on to the two outer pieces when the four shorter pieces are folded. It is not ideal but it works.

Yes it can be folded, but not a tight compact square. It will be able to be put into a larger carry on bag folded.

The mat itself is very portable, but the arcs that go over the mat do not fold up any smaller than what you see. It would be very difficult to transport them on an airplane. Travel in a car would probably be doable, but a plane would be hard.

It's 28 1/2" x 42" x 1" folded, and pretty heavy. Definitely not in a suitcase but maybe you could pack it separately.

Although it folds down nicely, I think mine is too heavy to put in a suitcase. You'd be better off with something that has smaller, lighter wheels.

No, I believe it's too small for that and the top seam of the bag has a stiff wire frame in it to help hold it open while packing it, so folding it up isn't much of an option either. A small drawstring backpack would better suit your need. :)

Not really. I think you could smash it down to pack it but it's not make to collapsible.

I wouldn't consider this mat at all: it is folded wrong way and get very wrinkled

No this does not fold. The 2 pieces do come apart and would fit in a large suitcase placing all the accessories in a baggie but it would take up quite a bit of room.

This mat was flat but it certainly can be folded up. My last one was much harder than this one and it started to crack...this one gives more but doesn't seem to crack!

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.

I folded mine, and it worked great, but sorry I can't answer that question. It is a very good mat; and I recommend it. I have never tried to cut it so I just don't know.

The size of this mat and the thickness is not suitable for travel. It really is meant to be left in the home. You can fold it into fours at most, to move it from room to room I roll it up. But it really is not made to take with you on a trip. Keep in mind that I have the largest size and don't know from experience with the other sizes.

It can be folded or perhaps more appropriately it could be rolled up and stored, it isn't rigid.

No, this does not fold for travel, although it can be made smaller and you could pack your clothes in and around it. By not folding, it becomes a much stronger support than most of them out there. I am still using mine and will continue to do so. It lasts well. Hope this answers your question.
