My Campmor down bag came with a cotton stuff sack (about 5 times the size 
of the regular stuff sack) for home storage. The bag is in it, in the 
spare closet (with all kinds of bones, etc. Sometimes, the voices are 
muffled by the bag. hehehe) My old Slumberjack synth bag is under the 
bed, in sleeping position. (Sometimes, when I'm feeling weird...well, 
never mind). The most common problem is with compression/loss of loft. 
Not folding or stuffing helps avoid this.
