Storage Logic Foam Mattress Vacuum Bag for Moving Storage Vacuum Seal Mattress Bag with Straps Queen Full Full-XL

This works so well! I bought the original Purple Mattress 9 years ago, which is heavy and requires at least 2 strong people to move. Since it was compressed when it first arrived in the mail, I wondered if there was a mattress vacuum bag, and I found this! It was easy to put on; the vacuum flattened it, I rolled it, and I used the supplied straps to keep it in place. When I moved it, I caught it with something that caused an air leak, but it didn't pop open and send me flying as I expected. I threw it on the trailer, and it made it from one state to another in 8 days without a problem! I would highly recommend wrapping it with a furniture blanket to prevent the risk of it snagging and cutting open, leading to an air leak. Read more

This bag works quite well, as long as you have the right vacuum for it! I have purchased and used this exact product twice so far, because I end up puncturing it every time I use it (more on this later). The first time I used it, I tried using my regular household vacuum cleaner (Miele canister vac). It worked a little bit, but the vacuum quickly overheated and shut off. Most household vacuums aren't meant to operate at maximum suction without a lot of air flowing through them (because they rely on the incoming air to cool the motor). The second time I used this bag, I used a large shop-vac (Rigid brand vacuum). This worked a LOT better and didn't suffer any overheating issues. If you want an even better vacuum, I have some more info later on. For most people, using a standard shop-vac will do the job nicely. Once you have pulled the vacuum, fold the mattress over and strap it up. Having a second person to help here is very useful -- one person sitting on the mattress to keep it folded while another person straps it worked very well. I used the included straps to hold it in half, then used some ratcheting straps to tighten it up even further. Note that if you use ratchet straps, put a piece of cardboard or something like that between the metal ratchet body and the plastic bag to keep from puncturing the plastic. The attached image is of a Purple 3 mattress under full compression. I think the compression is just as good as the factory does, but I didn't have enough leverage to actually "roll" up the mattress and could only fold it in half. Its still plenty small enough to fit in the back of a normal station wagon/hatch/SUV. Once your mattress is vacuumed and folded, you really should add some extra protection. You can wrap the mattress in mover's plastic wrap, or find some other heavy duty plastic/tarp to wrap this in. The vacuum bag punctures VERY easily. This happened BOTH times I tried moving with this. It's not the end of the world, as long as your straps are tight -- the straps will keep the mattress MOSTLY contained even if the vacuum is lost, but it will be a LOT more difficult to move around without the vacuum intact. Note that I punctured this even though I was trying to be very careful. I was moving my mattress with a helper down a short walkway between my door and the car. The mattress was very heavy, so we stopped once to put the mattress down and take a quick break. The bag touched a grain of sand on my walkway (yes, just a grain of sand), and this caused a minute puncture. It was enough that I could hear it leaking, but I couldn't stop the leak with duct tape or anything like that because of all the creases in the plastic. Within 2 hrs, the mattress bag vacuum was completely lost. So if you want the ultimate vacuum, I had good results using a four-stage diaphragm pump with a shop-vac as a roughing vacuum. Most people won't have access to this equipment, and probably won't need this level of vacuum to be honest. My shop-vac took the vacuum down to about 650 torr. I was able to attach a diaphragm pump using an NW25 fitting. If you remove and use just the O ring from an NW25 centering ring, it will fit over the inlet port nicely and creates a good seal once a vacuum is established (see photo for more info). I took it down to 40 torr and said "good enough" there. The majority of the compression had already happened with the shop-vac -- the difference between 650 and 40 torr was noticeable, but not enormous. Read more

Worked for a california king lucid hybrid mattress with some springs inside. Compressed from 10in to 2.5_3 inches. Was able to roll up and strap into a cylinder for easier storage. Vacuum port could be sturdier wants to suck up the plastic into the port. Otherwise perfect product. Took about 5 mins to vacuum seal. 10 mins to put bag on. Read more

Buying for the third time, works great always. Note: 1: If the bag gets damaged.. duh it will not work properly. 2: Very important: You need a shopvac or may have problems. I have a stick vacuum that I thought would have plenty of suction but it has some sort of sensor that shuts off the motor after 1-2 seconds if it senses blockage which happened. Hooked up a shopvac and boom, total success like when I bought it. 3: I walk around on the mattress to help compress and push the air out. The suction from a shopvac is plenty to stay attached to the valve port allowing you to do this hands free. Read more

I’m giving this three stars because it half way worked. I bought this to store a king mattress and also for the ease of transporting it. First off you definitely need a much more powerful vacuum like a shop vac. A regular vacuum will take a very long time. The shop vac did great. The air opening could use some improvements, because when the compression and air extraction is about 1/2 way, it folds inwards making it difficult to extract the air. For a mattress this size you definitely need at least two people. The bag compressed very nicely and the mattress was able to roll. The straps were a little challenging, but they worked. The bag material is very thin and rips very easily. Within 20 minutes I had to put the mattress on a dolly to transport it into my vehicle. Somewhere in transition, a small hole or rip occurred somewhere because we could hear air escaping, and the bag started to lose compression. Within a couple of days the mattress was no longer compressed. I have used another brand and it worked wonders. I purchased this one because I needed it as quickly as possible and I was promised next morning delivery. However, it got here later in the afternoon, but that is beyond anyone’s control. If the material was a bit thicker, and the a stronger ring/lip around the air opening, I think it would be a great product. Read more
