Dumb questions im sure... storing sleeping bags

[syoungs]

So I apologize that this is probably a dumb question, but ive never had a sleeping bag that didn't come from a thrift store or walmarche.

Just got a big Agnes echo park 20° bag, synthetic insulation. It came with a stuff sack, and a much larger mesh bag.
I figured the mesh bag is good for storage, little stuff sack for use.
If I store this bag in the mesh bag, will it be OK long term, or do I need to hang it somewhere. It's on a vented shelf right now. Just don't want to damage it or find out it was wrong later this year.
Thanks!

Indoors where it can stay dry, in the stuff sack. That's all I've ever done with no problems. I really can't store anything like that in my garage because of the moisture.

Compression breaks down the loft of the bag over time which is why they included an oversized storage bag to prevent that.

Keep it in the big bag for storage or hung up, compressed for trips and use. I haven’t had a synthetic bag in years, but I’m sure the same rules apply for the most part as down.

I usually have it hung up, mainly because I dry/air it out after use and forget about it.

Perfect, thanks all!
I work with a real small gear room, pretty glad to know i can leave it in the bigger of 2 bags. Makes life much easier keeping everything in 1 area

I always store my western mountaineering one in the large bag that it came in.

My WM bags have lasted decades with nearly zero down degradation when stored in the larger sacks in totes.

Hope nobody minds a piggy back question, y'all had success refluffing synthetic bags like you can do with down in the dryer or another method?
