do thes automatically return to flat after being rolled or do they need to be shaped?

they are flexible. I feel that if they are temporally rolled then they will lie flat after. Prolong use rolled will result in them not maintaining their flat shape

I believe you need to run them under hot water to soften then lay them flat

Mine have remained flat, they do not need to be rolled up at all. Nor do they automatically roll up.

It happens to me all the time. You just click it back in place the way you want it (folded in, standing or flat out). It takes a little getting used to the way it folds and unfolds.

Well it comes rolled up when you receive it so it doesn't like to lay flat at first. The material it's made out of is like a plastic/rubber

Rolled uo, but it didn't take too long to flatten out. I think I left it on my basement floor for a day. Fits just right!

It was rolled up and yes it did curl up..but after sometime it did and still does lay flat. Can't remember how long it took tho as I've had it for so long. I think we even tried laying it flat with weights/books etc and tried curling it in the other direction. I don't use it anymore but it does stay stored flat..lol It's now for sale but served it purpose :-)

Mine was rolled up with a heavy duty plastic strap keeping it in that shape. Be very careful when you cut the strap because it will fly open and flatten out in one second time! Do not have any body parts in the way and do it in an open area away from furniture. Cut the strap on the top and practice moving your hand up and away as it will make a loud pop when it flys open. Read the caution warning label before you cut the strap.

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.

Yes - you can roll mat and it does stay flat after unrolling - I store mine in box it came in

I think they should lay flat. Mine did but I still didn't think the quality was very good so I returned it.

Absolutely, it can be rolled-- you do not want to fold this for storage... I don't think you could "crease" it if you tried, but not worth taking the chance--! I roll mine around a rolling pin and secure it with rubber bands. It is completely floppy, there's no issue w/ flattening. You could probably roll it up pretty tightly, w/o a pin or dowel, but I figure some support is good for it, so it doesn't develop dents.

Yes to both questions. I have used several dozen of these flats and am very pleased with the quality.

If I recall correctly you can choose the method when you buy it. Mine came rolled though.

Yes, they are round, not the flattened kind used for decorating. They would definitely roll.

Mine has a sticker on it saying "this side up". It's rough side up, apparently. The bigger question is: how do you get this rolled up thing to lay flat?!

I relied on the answers below and ordered this mat. However, mine arrived rolled up, not as tightly rolled as another one I had previously but still not flat. Just so you know.

After you use them yes they do flatten two about 2 in but they are soft and nice to look at. I did put more fill in them so mine look thicker that's what I recommend if you like the look and you want them thicker because they are a really good price.

Yes. a std roll will fit when placed flat side up and down. a large roll will fit with flat side placed front to back.
