for short-term compression, go to a camping supply store and ask for a large compression bag.
DO NOT compress your bag for longer than a day. i'm sure your bag is filled with poly-fill, not goose down, and poly-fill will go flat if you compress it for too long.
are you just looking for a bag to store it in at home? if the army duffel just isn't working, maybe a huge laundry bag might do the trick.

It's pretty easy to sew your own custom stuff sacks with drawstrings. Get started here: http://www.thru-hiker.com/workshop.asp?subcat=12&cid=5
The formula to calculate the size you want is on the right panel.
You should try to compress your sleeping bag as little as possible to preserve the warmth-trapping loft that makes it work. At home it should be hung up, laid out flat, or put into a very large bag. For a camping trip stuffing it in a generous bag for a few days won't affect it too much, but a compression sack is going too far and could reduce your loft significantly.

Maybe?
Look at the larger storage bags that you hook a vacuum to. After sucking out the air they really do a good job of compacting them. Do not know how they will work on a double. But does ok on the lighter weight single ones.

Campmor has a good selection. you might want to look at a compression bag to help tame the size of the bag.

See if it completely unzips. If so you can make two separate bags and they should each fit in a compression bag.
