You know those compostable bags that sunchips introduced in 2010 that were supposed to be more ecofriendly but were way too noisy? These flimsy things are easily torn but also almost as noisy as the sunchips bags and feel like laying on said bag even under a sheet and mattress pad. It may be a challenge to zip it up given that you have to generate enough tension to pull it together without tearing it. In short, I do not recommend these for any purpose.
