Has anyone tried rolling and repacking this? I'm wondering if it's easy to pack up after using it.

I think you would have to be ready with something to keep it rolled up, i.e. shrink-wrap material. It is not really for a temporary mattress use. It is a mattress!

Yes, it is rolled up and in a box. It just takes it a few minutes to decompress and flatten out

It comes rolled up. Just unroll it and place heavy objects (like stacks of books) in the corners. Let it sit for a day and put in place. With a little use it completely flattens out.

Yeah, it's a roll up. I didn't like it at first, but got use to it. I use it every day. Once you get the hang of rolling it, it's easy.

You can roll it as hard as you want without damaging it. It will expand back to its original shape. I have travelled with it lots of times rolled up and it always gets back to its normal shape.

Try using WD40 and it should make it easier to un fold, its hard because of the shipping and if its cold its harder as well.

I usually leave it down, but I think it would be very easy to roll up for storage, it's very flexible.

it comes in a box folded up when you open it, it will expand to size. and yes, after it expands to full size you can roll it back up but it will not be easy. you will need help 2 people

I'm with you! Just did it after fooling around with it for about 30 minutes. Yikes! I was able to get it into it's not "so easy compact design". So follow the directions from the other comment about folding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and then forming two small circles lying on top of each other and use one of the "side pockets" to pull it over the entire thing. Good luck!

I have never used mine on a trip to pack to come home. Once I open them after storing items for seasonal changes I discard them. I have found them to be very hard to reseal again and get a good vacuum seal after the initial use. I had one, with blankets and a quilt lose it's seal and was beyond it's usefulness. I would imagine if you were using a new bag in your hotel room you could call the front desk and ask them to borrow a vacuum with a hose attachment. Hope this helps.

It was rolled up and yes it did curl up..but after sometime it did and still does lay flat. Can't remember how long it took tho as I've had it for so long. I think we even tried laying it flat with weights/books etc and tried curling it in the other direction. I don't use it anymore but it does stay stored flat..lol It's now for sale but served it purpose :-)

Yes you can roll it up but you problem would have to put it in a standard size trash bag or something like that to keep it from unrolling

Yes, it can be rolled up for storage. I wouldn't have rolled my first mat up after I'd used it so much, I would have been afraid it would crack. My second one, which is not so used, is rolled up in its box right now, no problem.

It is easy to deflate and fold up. But getting it back into the storage bag is difficult. I ended up buying a large bin to store all of it including air compressor. That was so I don't have to fold it too tightly to squeeze into the bag (irritating). I put the bin in my garage. It's large. Taking it out and putting it away is a process.

It comes rolled up pretty tight in the shipment and you can roll it up too, just have to give it time to expand when your ready to use it.

Yes -it comes rolled tightly in a bag very much like a sleepingbag. I would recommend that you open it in a large area with no fragile items near by, as it unrolls on its own very quickly once you remove it from the bag.

This is really easy to roll. I roll it from the garage to the driveway every Wednesday. I use mine for recycling but it is designed as a laundry hamper. You can lift out each section very easily to empty it into the washer. The bags go right back on the hooks if you need to wash them. I have already washed the bags. I hung mine back on the rack to dry. It dries very quickly. It has not faded and it did not run when I washed it
