thanks tentmad and dita

I was just toying with the idea of cardboard, lol and yes, I'm already treating the bags as "the precious" 

They didn't have the large ones in poundstretcher but I will stop into loads of them on my way up north this weekend, are they big enough for a duvet? (I think the firl said they were JML but she definitely said £9.99).

thanks cabra

Am I being obsessive with this?

Hi Shirley,

We got a kingsize double sleeping bag into one of the big bags so I think a double duvet should go into one.

 Just been on the Betterware website, they do two sorts: 2 travel storage bags which are 99x58cm for £9.99 or

Vacuum Seal storage bags: 2 Jumbo 60x105cm and 1 large 55x85cm for £13.99 both sorts can be rolled by hand if necessary.

Hope this helps 

We got ours from Argos last year. 

The biggest size can fit our 13 tog double duvet.  We suck the air out with the vacuum before we go and on the way home, we sit on it and roll about to get as much air out as we can without the vacuum.

WOW, loads of info - cool

Haven't found right bits of cardboard yet to try it for the clothes, been to 3 poundstretchers and 2 woolworths and no big bags to be found.  Have any of you tried deflating for coming home with the yellow argos 12V pump?  I reckon I would need to effect some sort of adapter.  Going off up east coast tomorrow and will check out all the shops on the way, duvet will be in bin bag for this weekend.

cheers

Hi

After reading all about these on here I picked up the ones from argos today. Wow, they are fab, they're really big.....can't find the measurements anywhere now. I managed to get a 13 tog duvet and 2 fluffy pillows in easily, infact I think I can get my fleecy throw in too. They were 11.99 for 2.  OH can no longer complain that my need to be warm at night takes up the whole car .

I think I'll go for the Argos ones then, do you think they could be deflated with the argos 12V yellow pump?

Shirley

not really sure, depends on the connectors you get with it, think we can use our coleman 12v pump as we've got a wide nozzle thing.
