Can I do other folds than the trifold with these? And is there enough material that I can use a snappi if I want to?

Yes, you can do other folds, like newspaper, use as an insert, and it's has enough layers for the snappiies.

Yes, you can do any kind of fold you want, just like any prefold. Whether there is enough material for a snappi depends on how big your baby is. These worked great for my baby (doing trifold) for almost a year, and I could use them with a snappi until she was at least 6 months old. However, I have very skinny babies. If your baby outgrows these, just order the next size up (the red stitching).

Absolutely! You can fold and snappi it, or I just do a trifold and lay it inside the cover.

Yes -- but you will need some pliers. I wouldn't recommend reshaping them more than a few times as you will fatigue the metal "hinges" that link the sections together.

I thought about that, too! But I haven't tried yet. They aren't a typical size and I'm not sure if my printer will choke trying to feed the plastic through. Also, as they're a circle folded in two, I suspect slippage would be an issue, as well.

It depends on how creatiive you are. I suppose you could attempt to shirr on a folded edge and therefore make a whole piece of cloth, or yardage shirred, but remember this little tool works best on very light weight and shirr fabrics so it may not work on the fold, but you should try it.

Using this would probably fold things more tidily than with just one hand however this item is a bit awkward to use - the middle parts that hold the bigger parts together are too loose and don't fold the shirts crisply unless you fuss with them a little. The description on this was that it was adjustable-I would suggest buying one that is a set size. I think that would work better.

Not positive, but do not think so. This is more like a real mattress and I do not think you will be able to fold it where you need to. It does not have the permanent folds like a tri fold mattress does.Unless your leaving to open all the time.

Since they're "better fit" = a shorter length, no. They work best as a tri fold. It might work with a snappi if you have a really tiny baby.

We haven't needed these yet. The folding ones don't last but the rigid ones have so far. You might try Ebay...

I asked Tuft and Needle about the "foldability" of their mattresses before purchasing and they said that while they do not fold in three like traditional shikibuton, they can fold in half. This was their response: "The Tuft & Needle Five Mattress can be folded in half, from head to foot, but, it needs some help to stay there. Due to the resilient nature of the mattress, it would "pop open," without something to hold it down, though a couple heavy books will do the trick. I'll link a photo and video demonstrating: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xrjc8bax8tdagf0/AABeNjgl2PfieuNkrR1fIEEza#lh:null-_MG_6570.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssW1FWGIRHM&feature=youtu.be" If you haven't bought your mattress yet and would like $50 off, you can use this link: https://www.tuftandneedle.com/r/bHpGCl3P It will also get me $50 off of my recent order, so we would both win :)

It works great with them! I started with Snappis and eventually just used the cover to secure the prefold.

Correct. The inserts are microfiber, and pretty useless. I recommend using flats or prefolds to stuff with.

Yes they certainly would. For an infant you could use the trifold without pins or snappis. I think once your baby becomes mobile the snappish will be needed. I don't think pins would work. Nana of one, mom of four.

The 3" thickness is comfortable, plus pliable enough to fold. I think you would like the results.

You can use a snappi. I usually just fold them like regular and fasten the diaper cover with out a snappi though.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but these are the type of folds: Trifold, Single, Z, Double Parallel, Right Angle & Baronial. I use the Trifold for my 11x17 which I use to fold my church bulletins. Hope this helps.

Google " how to fold a popup portable tent" there is a YouTube video. Amazon removed the link I had in my review for it. It takes 2 seconds once you watch the video.
