Can you deflate the bag completely after it is used? So it doesnt take up space in luggage?

Yes you can and they work really well even for small items like nail polish.

Yes, it stores very easily. It has the same type of infaltion valve you find on a beach ball. Quick and easy nothing needed.

As far as I know, Yes. My mother in law has used it and said it goes flat again. You just have to make sure you push all the air out of it.

I assume you are using for storage, not travel. This depends on how much air you take out and somewhat how you press on the bag as it is deflated. I deflate the most with blankets, quilts and pillows. I used the small ones for hoodies, and fluffier clothes in the drawer. I did not use for finer clothing. I think certain clothes folded will come out wrinkled. I use them when I travel and manually push out the air, if I gently fold, lay in stack, then slide in bag, roll out air, the clothes come out looking fine. I always select clothes based on wrinkle potential at purchase. I just dont iron unless absolutely necessary. I assume you are using for storage, not travel.

When the air pump is off, this deflates and stores in the included bag that is about 12 inch x 12 inch, so very compact. The balls are what may be of concern for space. We ordered 4 bags of 200 balls. As long as you keep the bags they come in, which are zipper bags, storage isn't a problem. We should have ordered more balls because 800 barely cover the bottom.

Not true in my experience. You should inflate it when you first get it and leave it that way until you need to pack it for your trip. This is true with most sleeping pads.

no you have to pump air into it when you get it. You will need a needle to pump it and make sure to wet the needle before inserting it into the bag.

It is easy to deflate and fold up. But getting it back into the storage bag is difficult. I ended up buying a large bin to store all of it including air compressor. That was so I don't have to fold it too tightly to squeeze into the bag (irritating). I put the bin in my garage. It's large. Taking it out and putting it away is a process.

It deflates very flat; I easily slip it into my slim laptop bag. Fully deflated, it is no thicker than a couple manila folders. You can also fold it and roll it up. That's how it arrives. Rolled up it is about the size of a beer can, maybe 5.5 or 6 in long by 3in diameter

Take it to Mexico for sure! It doesn't take up much space in your suitcase. I've used mine before & now deflated & refolded, it measures approximately 1 " x 10" x 13". It may take a little time, but it's easy enough to blow up by mouth; however, I bet wherever you go they will have an automatic inflator that you can use. Have fun!

No. But you can leave a small opening when you zip close the bag and put the vacuum hose there to such out the air and close it entirely when you are done.

Yes, you can, just remove it and leave the other part in the back of it. When you use the bag, then you remove that part.

It would be very difficult to purge the bag completely of air, and as a result the bag is almost sure to float while containing assorted personal items--provided you follow the instructions with regard to rolling the opening. Larger size bags make decent pillows or even floatation devices in a pinch.

No you do not need a pump. I take these traveling because sometimes there may not be enough pillows. (I like extra). They travel flat, do not take much room in suitcase. If needed, it takes less than 5 minutes to blow up. Inexpensive, but durable.

The bags are airtight, but with changing air pressure the bag may not make it. So I wouldn't recommend bringing in my suitcase.

The bed comes with a travel/storage bag. it is the same size as a standard sleeping bag when deflated. It does not take up a lot of space, and I was surprised with how fast it will inflate.

This neck traction device does completely deflate and there is no foam. Keep in mind the rubber air chambers do not disconnect from the side, but are flexible. I have not had the need to completely compress/deflate for travel, but it would fit in a gallon size ziploc bag with lots of extra room to be flattened (maybe small enough for a quart size bag if you work at it).

Yes if it is deflated and you add the mattress pad and crib sheet. I learned about this from a friend who was traveling from NYC to London. We drag ours all over the town to different relatives. Sometimes we even deflate it! :>)
