How to Fold Mats

Published in Mat Folding 1 min read

Folding mats, especially flexible plastic ones designed for portability, typically involves a combination of folding and rolling. The key is often to follow the mat's inherent structure to ensure it can be packed away easily.

Simple Steps for Folding a Plastic Mat

Based on the method described for folding a plastic mat to fit inside its carry bag, the process is straightforward:

  1. Fold: Begin by folding the mat. The reference suggests observing the natural fold lines that the mat may already have. Folding along these lines can help guide the process and ensure a compact result.
  2. Roll: After folding, roll the mat up.
  3. Combine: This combination of folding and rolling helps compress the mat. The reference notes, "And then fold. And roll. However you want if you want it to go back inside your carry bag."
  4. Observe Lines: As mentioned, paying attention to the natural fold lines assists in achieving the desired outcome for storage, making it easier for the mat to "go back in your bag."

This method is designed to make the mat compact enough to be stored in its designated carry bag.
