Depends who you talk to. People run the extreme from the bag being completely ruined the first time you smoosh it - to people like me who don't worry about it and just store them properly. (for me that's loosely piled into a large cotton bag
and hung up)

Me, I figure if a bag died from the first smoosh, it certainly would die the first time my butt rolled over on it - so I tend to not worry overly, but some people swear by babying them - make your own decision.
