Collapsible mat with removable portion and method of making same

A collapsible apparatus, comprising:

• a frame configured to form a closed loop, the frame being moveable between a coiled configuration and an uncoiled configuration;
• and
• a membrane coupled to the frame, the membrane defining a substantially planar surface within the closed loop and including a plurality of attachment mechanisms spaced substantially about a perimeter of the membrane, the plurality of attachment mechanisms configured to removably couple a body membrane to the membrane, each attachment mechanism from the plurality of attachment mechanisms includes a slot configured to receive a portion of a body membrane.
