How do you compress this to less than 9.5 inches, the shorter that I can get it? SW Airlines requires 8.5"

I assume you are inquiring about the height. I, too, was concerned about not being able to meet the size requirements of the sleepypod. I didn't need to worry. On the three airlines and 5 different types of planes, I had no problems. Of course, some seats have smaller compartments than others, but there was only one where I encountered a height problem. It wasn't much of a problem because I just forced the top down and crammed it in.

I got mine down to 5" x5" x1' in a roll uncompressed. I don't have a compression sack. I got it pretty tight. Won't go much smaller.

I really dont have the answer to that as I did not use on Southwest. You will need to check their policy as to pet carrier dimensions., on their website or call them

I measured the closed bag. It is slightly less than 5"X8". Unless you could trim the label it would noy work.

I have a short queen in my trailer. Can this be cut smaller? How hard would it be to make smaller?

Frankly I am not big with the dimensions and no it was not too compressed. It seemed like a box that would be approximately 2 feet long.

oh so sorry.. but I remove it from the box, unfolded and blew it up so quick that I'm afraid I won't be of much help...I do remember coming out of the box, it was folded very tightly and it does work great, of course, depending on what else you have going in your carryon it could take up more room that you can allocate for it...I wish I could have given you more of the answer you were looking for.

Mine goes up to 33 inches, but the air piston thing holding it up is really weak, so when I sit on it, it compresses down to 30".Minimum is 24".

Without breaking the straps the smallest I can compress it to is 24" long X 18"- 20" in diameter. Maybe you could reduce the size somewhat but the buckles are plastic and I was afraid to compress the bag any further in case I broke the buckles. This is a large, heavy, thick bag and it is difficult to compress.

Around the 3-4 inch area. It will compress smaller when you lay on it of course.

it doesn't need a compressor.this one only works with your hands compressing the handle forcing grease out. This one does not have a fitting for an airline

It won't work for ripping because it's only 12" long. They sell a rip guide as well, but I haven't purchased it yet

I do not have the exact size, and mine is packed away right now. It is smaller than a 6 pack of soda. I carried it on my ATV in the rear bag.

It paired up the 14 x 8 fly for me too. Just went camping and it was 2' too short. Now I have to buy another one that fits. Not cool. Amazon should refund us 100% for this mix up.

Worked for me on US Airways and Delta very small planes where everyone with carry ons had to have them stowed under the plane. No one even asked us a question about the carriers and because they flex it was easy to put them under the seats. I've seen Southwests dimensions even on smaller planes and it shouldn't be a problem. Since flying with out 2 pugs earlier this year the experiences have been quite routine.

Lower bout is 8-1/4" without compressing padding, 8-3/4" with padding compressed.
