If the pump is one which comes with different nozzles you should probably find one fairly easily. If in doubt buy one from Argos or similar so that if you get it home and it doesn't fit you can return it.

If you have a number of vacuum storage bags - do you need to buy a vacuum storage bag to keep them in when not in use?

Ours from Argos lasted less than a year before bursting.  Waste of money.

I use the cheaper alternative of a black bin liner then sit on it/lie on it, (like when trying to get a tent back in the bag) then tie the open end with a hair bobble.  Stick it iin the back of the car and If it bursts when you get there you can always somehow manage to use the bin bag as a bin bag and get a new one for the return trip home.

Bought the Argos Space Bag today, Jumbo 2 for a tenner.

So far so good, Kingsize duvet and a single in 1 bag...,.

Is it wrong to be excited by this?

I always use the ones from Lakeland, they are made by Scott Brothers and don't require a vacuum, you simply roll the air out.Been using mine for years with no problems - they have a five year guarantee on the box I believe
