Moving Tips - Sofas (Couches, Hide-a-Beds)

Moving Sofas, Couches and Hide-a-Beds

What you will need: Resealable plastic sandwich bags, large plastic trash bags, tape or rope, blankets or bubble wrap and plastic sofa cover (sofa covers may be purchased from most moving supply companies) or large sheet of plastic.

How to pack: Remove legs if possible. Place wing nuts or screws in a resealable plastic bag, label it and tape to the underside of the furniture piece. Get all of the packing supplies you need.

Place sofa cushions and pillows in large plastic bags and use these as pads or fillers in the trailer or van. Pad all furniture items with blankets or bubble wrap. Secure padding to furniture with tape and rope. Cover with a plastic sofa cover or large sheet of plastic and secure with tape and rope.

If you are moving a hide-a-bed, it is very important that you tie it closed before you attempt to move it (people have lost fingers from hide-a-beds that have sprung open on them in mid carry).
