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 don't know whether it would return to it's original shape because I've never tried to fold it in half to fit into a suitcase. However, if you want it to hold it's shape and serve the person well who is changing the baby, I wouldn't recommend you fold it in half. A better option might be to put in a larger, lightweight case, with foam layers around it to protect it.

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.

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.

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.

It's pretty big, I do not think it would fit in a suitcase. I would suggest it not be folded up and only rolled.

It can't be folded to fit in a suitcase. However, the push pins which adjust the height can lower the height of the Sure Foot to about 18". The foot is about 6 1/2" by 3". It's not as light weight as the hurricane which I also own and would fit more easily into a suitcase. Personally I love the Sure Foot better as it gives me more stability on most types of surfaces. I was using the Sure Foot before my hip replacement in June and am still using it while I'm in physical therapy. I would buy it again in an instant.

It folds up enough to slide under the bed, but in a suitcase? I can't think of a suitcase design that would be "square-shaped" enough.

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 folds down enough to fit into suitcase. It is, however, pretty lightweight and is better suited for clothing and not bulky objects.

Not for travel. This is large and cumbersome, it does not fold. We used it for 5 months in our mini pack-n-play and removed it when baby was outgrowing the height setting with it in. I would not use again. It's not as soft as bedding packnplay comes with, which does fold easily for travel.

What mat? I only used this product by itself. I had that thing packed to its fullest capacity and it was strapped down perfectly. It did not move an inch, so if you do things very safely and securely, you should not have a problem. Hope this helps.

Nop... you cant but it is not a problem at all... the main problem with this case (although I love it) is that it is rally hard to pack.Good luck

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 inside has a hard plastic liner that can be removed. You would not be able to fold it with the liner in it but you could probably smash it to fit in a suitcase without the liner. Hope this helps.

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.

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.
