The Travel Prayer Mat is [in our opinion] a much better alternative to the popular plastic pocket mat. The Travel mat is bigger (25 in x 45 in) and made of actual fabric. It folds into a handy 6 x 4 x 2.5 inch lump that can easily fit in a purse or overcoat or laptop bag.

a set of the travel mats could also provide a cheap [economical] method of "islamizing" a generic carpet space into a congregational prayer set-up.since the thin fabric here will sit atop an already carpeted floor.
