These are the ones I have bought from Amazon. Had them for a while and appear to be ok.

I have never used them, but they sell them at Lakeland, which is a bit pricey but usually very good quality. They say it holds a king size duvet and 4 pillows!!

ZZzzz - do you mean those bags where you suck all the air out? Not that I know anything about them.

When I read the headline on the post I thought you were looking for the disposable bags for vacuum cleaners! Whoops, sorry.

Can anyone recommend good quality vac bags for long term storage of a king size duvet please, I've used some but they don't last long, not even a year with some. Thanks.
