We have tried a few of these and the cheap ones seem to split fast or lose the ability to seal properly. We are currently using the 3 pack argos ones.

Personally im on the verge of giving up on them as too much effort and not efficient enough after many having broken down on us and then theres the issues losing the key thing to seal them, so more often than not the duvets just come home in the bag unsealed!

When I win the lottery im considering down duvets and pillows and a few good compression bags!

I'm currently sitting with a load of washing in a bin bag that I've sucked the air out of to do a trial before camping this year. Really need to lose the suitcase (although I will still use it to determine how much we take). I used a freezer bag tie to hold it shut once I'd sucked the air out rather than tie a knot and so far its holding well. Fingers crossed I've found the solution - if all I need is a roll of bin bags I can manage that.

Personally never had any luck with these basically because the pumps we have do not fit the vac bags.

For duvets and pillows I would have thought a stuff sack would be just fine. After all a sleeping bag is just a duvet foulded in half??
