Can I damage a down sleeping bag by overly compressing it?

[Uncle Rico]

Thats basically my question. I don't keep it stored compressed, but just when I'm using it. I have a compression sack and really cinch it down.

Thanks.

It is my understanding that compressing it very tight is not a problem, just be sure that you do not store the bag compressed. The bag would optimally be laid out and not compressed or stuffed at all.
