in Old style MoneySaving
Anyone got any recommendations for really good ones?  I’ve had mine for a few years.  They have always gradually sucked in air but over months. One now won’t seal at all, the others seem to seal but suck in air and return to normal size almost immediately.  

I want to store a duvet and pillows.

    Honestly haven't found any that work except for the first time: after that: 10 on the useless scale- 10 being the worst!!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything! --
    Many thanks

    I rather suspected that.  So no point in buying super expensive ones, cheap tat works just as well (i.e. badly).  Vaccuum packing isn’t just about space, the spare bedding needs to go in my garage which is damp.

    The ones from Primark seem good, but I have only used them once xx
