How to Flatten a New Play Mat

Quick answer: A new mat that arrives rolled will flatten on its own within a day or two as it relaxes at room temperature; laying it flat and warm speeds this up. A PopsyKosy mat settles flat quickly without any tools or weights needed.

Give it time and warmth

Unroll the mat and leave it flat in a warm room; the curl relaxes within a day or two as the material settles.

Help it along

Laying it the opposite way briefly or placing light, flat weight at the edges can speed the process; avoid heat sources.
