my mum had some of those bags and they leaked so if you have a problem with them you wont get everything home.
We used to take duvets and changed to left and right zipped bags (although i cannot share a bag with my hubby he is too hot and i would probably kill him by the morning the option made me feel like i made the effort!!!) We have the stuff pillows from milletts and I was amazed when I put the usual pile of stuff next to the bags and pillows pile it was half the size. We are just as warm and cosy too. We also bought extra wide bags meaning I did not get thet claustriphobic feeling as I like to move.
have got the vacuum bags they are brill. certain typed fit on portable pumps so packing up is just as easy. pound stretchers sell they ,cheap you say but they do work.

id love to find something warm but not bulky :-(
bought a double bag from argos, and once out the bag it was MASSIVE!! and thats the way it stays cos theres not a chance that itll go back in the bag. grrrrr >-(
tried putting it at the bottom of the boot and putting the heavy stuff on top, in the hope that it squashes the air out, but its a MONSTER bag with a mind of its own :-/
I used to have trouble with exactly the same bag.. until I read something on here.. don,t try and roll it up again.. just stuff it in, with a quarter turn with every hand full.. It works, try it

IMHO there is no substitute for duvets and pillows from home. A great tip I am about to take up is to use vaccum packed bags to reduce space, put beding in bags and suck out air with vaccum cleaner or air pump on suck instead of blw. They sell them in Lakeland (kitchen shops and mail order) but I think you can get them cheaper elsewhere. Havent done it yet but have seen threads on this board suggestiong it and like many threads I read I think it sounds brill!
has long has you can get something stronge enough to seal them (ive used thick hairbands)bin bags are great to,got tons of my daughters fluffy toys up the attic and they work just has good,but make sure you have to holes in them.lol.
