Just bought one of these from poundland. It's 100x80cm and I can fit our king size duvet in it, just. It vacs down to about 2inches thick. Brilliant! It did leak initially and I was a little disappointed. However, with a smear of Vaseline on the screw threads of the valve, it's holding tight as a drum.
On a side point, making your own is also pretty easy. Just get yourself some garden rubble sacks. Place your items inside. Gather up the opening and hold it tight around your vacuum hose. If you hold tight enough, it will compact just as well as the commercial bags. Grab the end and twist tightly to seal the air in (wait, I mean out!). Tie off tightly and it's job done.
