A Guide To Using Moving Blankets

Also known as furniture pads, moving blankets are typically associated with professional movers - but Movers.com recommends them for DIY moving, too.

Versatile and easy to use, furniture pads are the best choice when it comes to protecting valuable furniture: “Wrapping your furniture in furniture pads protects it from the dust buildup that can accrue in your moving truck,” explains the report. “When you wrap your furniture in moving blankets it protects them from not only the dust from the moving truck but the dirt from outside and even the elements. We’ve all had a move in less favorable conditions and thought ‘oh no my table’ or ‘our couch will get soaked’. Well, if your table, or couch, or desk, is wrapped up in furniture pads you don’t have to worry about snow, rain, or even dust.”

You can also use moving blankets to protect valuable floors or carpets - just lay them on the ground during the move, and wash them afterwards.

Another use of furniture pads is as padding between boxes during a move.

Gaps between boxes may cause them to shift and could potentially damage the items inside - and that’s where moving blankets come handy, as they can easily fill in any gaps and reduce the risk of damage on the move.

The guide also covers essential information on moving blankets, including: where to get them, how to calculate how many pads are going to be needed for a move, and whether or not it’s worth looking for moving blanket alternatives (spoiler: it's probably not).
