If you are asking will it hurt the quilts or down inside, IMO it will not.
Long term storage compressed is not recommended.
There are pro's and con's to using a compressor sack.
A pro of course is that you've reduced the volume of your quilts to their smallest.
A con is some light weight backpacks have very little back padding or support so a hard lump would be very uncomfortable.
I use a compressor sack on my quilts and spare clothing when I am unable to get all the gear in my backpack for a particular trip.
My pack does not suffer from lack of support or padding and with a compressor I can get my quilts to pack horizontal in the bottom
totally filling that space.
If the trip does not require compression sacks, meaning I can get everything in the pack with out compressing it
I just use regular water resistant stuff sacks. My goal is to fill the pack
so items will not shift around when scrambling.
It's good to have choices.
