Twin/Twin-XL Foam Mattress Vacuum Bag with Blue Zipper, Vacuum Seal Mattress Bag, Straps Included

Bag is amazing. We have a Purple 4 and if you have one too, you know how freakin heaving and bulky/floppy it is. We used a shop vac to vacuum it and it worked perfectly. We aren’t able to roll it up like sushi but the fact that it’s stuck vac packed makes it actually possible to move. Plastic is thick enough to where it didn’t tear. Seal is great so no leakage either. I highly recommend this! Took about 35 min or so to fully seal enough to where we could move it.

Was worried that this wouldn't work after reading some reviews. Used this for a supersac lovesac (6 ft by 6 ft) without the cover on. The bag fit in the Cali King/King protector and a shop vac deflated it in under 10 minutes. (I had 2 adults help squish it down may not be a solo task but not impossible) this product is practically a oversized zip lock bag had double seams and seam clips to help seal it. Ensure it is SEALED before taking out the air to avoid issues. The straps are dirt cheap and would not use those for anything. Overall would buy this product again if I need to shrink a King Mattress or lovesac again. (Use rope or ratchet straps to help keep it tied down)

I purchased this because I needed to transport a mattress in a small vehicle. This worked perfectly!! Highly recommend!!

Helped with moving out of form and to store

It did fit, barely, over a fairly deep (8"? 10"?) XL Twin foam mattress. Probably a regular length Twin would be a bit easier to deal with.The Dyson vacuum cleaner I started to use was going to overheat and burn out, so I gave up on that. Eventually I made a fitting to connect a laboratory vacuum pump, which worked to get it initially compressed to several inches thick, but still far too stiff to roll.After leaving it like a large board for a few days, it had compressed on its own a bit more and become a bit flexible, so I hooked up the vacuum pump again, which made it yet thinner. I was prepared to simply store it under another bed, flat.However, over another day, it became yet thinner, about an inch, and was at least curvable. After waiting another day, it was easier to curl. Finally, I was able to roll it and store it. I have no idea if the mattress is now permanently over-compressed and will never expand to be usable again, but since it was shipped rolled up and compressed, I imagine it will expand again when we need to use it.I don't think this would have been possible with just a vacuum cleaner.Even if you aren't able to get your mattress flattened to rollability, it should protect against humidity and bugs, and the plastic seemed reasonably sturdy. Keep it away from knives and cat claws, though. A single hole will let air in, and it'll expand wherever it is.

I have two large cot-size memory foam mattresses that were taking up a lot of storage space. They are dense foam and 6" thick by 31" wide by 75" long, so they fit in the twin/twinXL vacuum bags with lots of room to spare. We set up to compress them on our king-size bed. That went very well, we were able to sit and lay down on the mattress as it was deflating under vacuum to speed the deflation process. The process only took a few minutes to completely deflate a mattress, then a few more minutes to close the valve, roll up the mattress, and secure it with the straps. Heeding the comments in the reviews regarding the ease to puncture the vacuum bags, I then wrapped the rolled mattresses in the large nylon storage bags we had been using to store the inflated mattresses. I believe that this will protect the vacuum bags from puncture, and hopefully we can use them again. The mattresses now occupy a quarter or less of the volume of the inflated mattresses. I am pleased with the results so far.

The sliding closure did not work. Slider came off on first try. We were able to hand close it like a zip lock but had to reinforce it w duct tape to prevent leaks. It did hold after that but does take awhile to get the mattress pulled down.

Does not actually hold air. This is definitely a case of I should have read the reviews more carefully before buying. But I assumed that since we were only trying to zip a three inch memory foam mattress topper that it would work even better than it was supposed to work on a regular twin mattress. It did not. We followed all of the directions And before it was even fully vacuumed we heard an air leak. My second clue that this was a bad idea, was in the directions that said if you hear an air leak to use 'sticky tape'. I shouldn't have to seal and already faulty product that I paid money for. In the ad, it shows you can shrink a normal size twin mattress to a most paper thin , but don't be fooled. We zipped it up two days ago and I can still hear it expanding even though it's strapped up. It was a useless purchase. The only reason it gets two stars instead of one is because it is probably successfully keeping dust off of the topper.
