Multipurpose Mat

A multipurpose mat having a lengthwise axis and comprising:

• a mat body formed of a pliable material, the mat body defining:
• a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, the first side and the second side disposed parallel to one another, the third side and the fourth side disposed parallel to one another;
• a first surface having a perimeter defined by the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side;
• a second surface opposably facing the first surface;
• a wall extending about the entire perimeter of the first surface such that a first portion of the wall extends along the first side, a second portion of the wall extends along the second side, a third portion of the wall extends along the third side, and a fourth portion of the wall extends along the fourth side, the wall extending from the first surface and away from the second surface a first distance;
• a first set of projections comprising a first projection, a second projection, a third projection, and a fourth projection, each projection of the first set of projections extending from the first surface and away from the second surface a second distance that is equal to the first distance, each of the first projection and the second projection extending from the first portion of the wall to the third portion of the wall, the first projection parallel to the second projection, the third projection extending from the first projection to the second portion of the wall, the fourth projection extending from the third projection to the fourth portion of the wall;
• and
• a second set of projections comprising a fifth projection, a sixth projection, a seventh projection, an eighth projection, and a ninth projection, each projection of the second set of projections extending from the first surface and away from the second surface a third distance that is less than the first distance, each of the fifth projection and the sixth projection extending from the first projection to the second projection, the seventh projection extending from the fifth projection to the second sixth projection, the eighth projection extending from the first projection to the seventh projection, and the ninth projection extending from the seventh projection to the second projection;
• wherein the pliable material is flexible such that the multipurpose mat can be moved from an open configuration in which the second side and the fourth side are parallel and a closed configuration in which the multipurpose mat is folded on an axis that is orthogonal to said lengthwise axis and the second portion of the wall and the fourth portion of the wall contact one another.
