Yeah I long ago got rid of the bags.  I've been considering one of those cube space bags, but I hear they leak.  Was hoping someone would have some other ideas too...thanks.

I bought the Ziplock ones at Bed Bath and Beyond that you suck the air out with a vacuum.  I packaged mine up when I moved a year ago and they are still completely sealed and sucked.

We just put them back in the bags they came in and stick 'em in the spare closet.

I don't think I would use space bags for a down comforter. Won't it break the feathers? If you don't have the original bags, I would get a big fabric or canvas storage bag like this that will fit it without smashing it in there too much.

The care instructions on mine say do not store them in anything airtight. I guess they need to breathe? I bought these for the ones that didn't come with cloth storage bags: www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Comforter-Storage-Bags-Set-of-3/4075364/product.html

These would be good too. And yes, I have heard that all plastic containers aren't good for the feathers.

We keep ours on the bed year round...

I have a cedar chest that I use to keep blankets and sheets we are not using. I inherited from my grandma. The plastic bags that they came in are long gone.
