We have tried these but the ones we got don't seal properly. You put the things in and press the flaps together to seal the end and then suck the air out through a valve with your vacuum cleaner. They really do reduce the size considerably and would be perfect if they stayed sealed. We use them for spare duvets and pillows and it is amazing how much you can get in a small space when first done, but after a few weeks the air seems to leak out of the seal and the package reverts to its original size and can be a problem getting out of the place where you have stored it.
