Moving can be a stressful experience. Between packing, coordinating logistics, and the actual act of transporting your belongings, there's a lot to juggle. But one often-overlooked detail can make a big difference in the overall success of your move: using moving blankets.

Why Moving Blankets Are Essential

Moving blankets are more than just an extra layer of padding. They are a crucial tool for safeguarding your furniture and belongings during transport. Here's how they can benefit your move:

  • Superior Protection: Moving blankets are typically constructed from quilted fabric and thick felt, providing a barrier between your furniture and potential bumps, scrapes, and scratches that can occur during loading, unloading, and transit.

  • Enhanced Furniture Security: Furniture straps are essential for securing furniture in a moving truck. However, using straps directly on furniture can cause indentations or damage to delicate finishes. Moving blankets provide a protective layer between the straps and your furniture, ensuring everything arrives safely.

  • Protecting Your Walls and Doors: During the moving chaos, furniture can easily bump into walls, doorframes, and bannisters. Moving blankets act as a shield, absorbing the impact and preventing costly repairs to your walls or your old apartment's doors. Imagine the stress of having to fix walls before getting your security deposit back!

Peace of Mind: Knowing your belongings are shielded with an extra layer of protection can significantly reduce moving anxiety. Moving blankets offer peace of mind, allowing you to focus on the bigger picture.

Securing Your Moving Blankets

Once you have your moving blankets, you'll need a way to secure them to your furniture. Here are three options to consider:

  • Movers Rubber Bands: These are the fastest and easiest option. They stretch around furniture and blankets, holding everything firmly in place. Best of all, we have movers rubber bands available for rent at PACKwell Moving Supplies!

  • Stretch Wrap: Stretch wrap is another convenient option. It can be easily wrapped around furniture and blankets to create a secure hold. We offer stretch wrap for sale, and also have a pay-per-use option, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Tan Packing Tape: If you choose to use tape, make sure it's tan packing tape. This type of tape peels off cleanly from blankets without damaging the fabric. Avoid using regular packing tape, as it can be difficult to remove and may tear the blankets.
