It's been hot here at the coast in Ventura County. Really HOT! This time of year is notoriously cool here in Ventura. We call it June Gloom. It's usually foggy most of day, just about every day starting in May sometime, continuing through the end of June. Not this year. Wow, it's been a warm year already. Anyway, I bring this up because today I decided it was definitely time to quit holding out for that 62 degree high and get the down comforters off the beds in favor of light, cotton quilts. There's a small problem in my house, though, we've got 6 beds. We have a pretty big linen closet, but with 7 people in the house, it's already full of towels and spare sheets. What the heck to do with 6 down comforters? Have you seen those infomercials with those really irritantingly, loud people telling you how amazingly wonderful the Space Bag is? I had seen it. Didn't believe it. None of those infomercials have products that are worth anything. Right? Wrong - love, love, love the Space Bags. I folded up the comforters, put them in the bags, got my vacuum, and vacuumed out the air in about 30 seconds per bag. I stacked them all on a shelf and I'm done. Unbelievable. They truly take up less than a third of the space they would have without the bag. Not to mention, it's all sealed and keeps the dust and mites away. Very cool!
I've never used them, but would like to try them. Maybe it's time. Of course, I'll have to wait until I've got time to do housework...Yikes....
I love these things..we had fun with ours, putting random things in just to see them shrink
These are great for anyone that has to move. It is amazing how much stuff goes into one and then they shrink down as flat as a pancake. We suggest them whenever we get the chance.
By the way, I forgot to mention how good they are for storing sleeping bags.
