Oh nice, I tried that once with a travel yoga mat. It rolled out perfectly in my Barcelona hostel room, right up until my bunkmate came back early and had to climb over it. Turns out those floors have way less space than you think when someone's trying to get to their suitcase. I still use the mat, but now I only unroll it if I'm totally alone. The band idea seems way smarter for shared spaces, honestly.
