Vacuum Storage Bags

A friend gave me a Vacuum Storage Bag when I had to go away for a short time. I found it pretty good.
My linen cupboard needs organised big time and these seem to be ideal for that; can you recommend the best brand and what I should be looking out for. 
For me the fiddly bit was closing the double seal and I could see problems taking them on holidays, what happens on the return journey ?
Looking forward to hearing your views and tips and of course thanks for your input

    I love mine! 
    I wouldn’t use them for going away as everything gets so creased in them but the ones I have you don’t need to use a hoover (‘even though I do)


    Tip; look for ‘strong ones’ and look for decent valves. 

    I have these and there are no fiddly double seals, you just screw it https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08MTXVKLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I bought some from Argos using some Nectar points, they are great. I store summer/winter duvets in them in the opposite season, spare pillows, winter jumpers in summer, spare towels that are not in rotation etc. and they save so much space. 

    Some of them have been sealed for more than a year and do not appear to have let any air in so the seals work very well. Others have been opened and resealed several times and still work fine.
