Space Bags

     Last night I posted about my trip to buys at Target and how I had bought some Space Bags to try out!  Well, I decided to try them out tonight and tell you what I thought and show you how they ended up working for me.  I bought the Cube Combo Pack.  This included 3 bags.  I Jumbo, 1 Extra Large, and 1 Large.  It says should fit 5 comforters, 10 pillows, and 25 sweaters!  I bought these to condense all of my comforters, blankets, and linens.  I figured having everything condensed will make it easier for when moving time comes! 

     I started with the Jumbo bag.  Here is a pic of the items I decided to start with.  I have 2 very large comforters (one is actually a duvet cover with the duvet inside), 1 quilt, 4 standard pillows, and a tiny decorating pillow. 

     Here is what it looked like after I put everything into the bag and then took my vacuum and sucked all the air out!  It all fit except two pillows!  I was impressed!  So I decided to move on to the next bag. 

     The next bag was the Extra Large bag.  Here is a pic of the items I put in this bag. I put the two pillows left over and then 3 more standard pillows. It ALL fit!

     Here is what it looked like when I was done.

     The last bag was the Large bag. In this one I put 3 blankets and multiple sheets (I forgot to count, but I think there were atleast two sets of sheets).  This ALL fit as well.

     Here is the end result of this bag.

   
     Overall, I was VERY surprised how quick and easy I was able to condense everything.  It is going to make it so much easy during our move. We can just put these cubes into a big box and tape it up! However, my only concern is what everything will look like when I open the bags.  I am curious if it will all be wrinkled and then stay wrinkled forever!  I am really hoping this will not be the case.  When I open the bags I will have to let you know what I think!  Have any of you used these Space Bags?  If so, what did you think?
