How to Keep Mat Edges Lying Flat

Quick answer: To keep edges flat, let a new mat relax in a warm room, lay it the opposite way to its roll if needed, and avoid folding it for storage. A PopsyKosy mat settles flat on its own and stays that way when rolled rather than folded.

Help a new mat settle

Curl from rolling relaxes within a day or two in a warm room, and briefly reverse-rolling stubborn corners speeds it along.

Store it right

Always roll rather than fold for storage, since folds can press permanent creases that lift the edges later.
