Itʼs moving day. Soon, everything you own will be packed into a truck and on its ways to your new home. How do you prepare? There is one piece of moving equipment that will help your efforts without a doubt! Moving blankets are an extremely versatile tool and we hope that the tips and tricks included in this article will be helpful as you go through your big moving day!

What moving equipment should I use for my Move??


When choosing equipment for your upcoming move there are a lot of factors to consider. We have a variety of moving supplies that will ensure that your valuable items make the trip to your new home! An important thing to remember is that it is better to have the supplies and not need them than to need them and not have them so donʼt be afraid to stock up on things you may not think you need! You should always get your moving supplies early so you are not scrambling last minute to track down supplies.

There are many different kinds of moving equipment and it all depends on what kind of items you will be transporting. For lifting and moving heavy furniture you can use either Forearm Forklift Straps or furniture moving dolly. For fragile items like vases and lamps, you will want to use bubble wrap and packing tape. One of the best pieces of moving equipment is the Moving Blanket!

Why should I use moving blankets?



One of the worst things that can happen during a move is when you open the back of the moving truck to find some of your favorite items damaged. Or you get your favorite dresser out to the back of the truck only to find a massive scratch right down the middle of the dresser. This happens all too often.

The solution is Moving Blankets! Moving blankets are made from a thick, cotton-polyester material that is made for the moving industry. These durable blankets are specifically designed for protecting your valuable items no matter how large or small! Moving Blankets are extremely durable and can be used over and over without replacement. As long as you keep them clean and dry!

You should use Moving Blankets on your big moving day because they can give you the peace of mind that all of your stuff will make it safely to its destination! There is nothing like having the knowledge that your most valuable items are protected against potential damage. Moving blankets are not only for in the back of the moving truck. Much of the damage caused to peopleʼs furniture and other items occurs when moving it from one place to another.

Moving blankets can be placed on the items before moving them to avoid damage. This helps to protect both the item itself and the house where the item will be moved since it is very easy to bump large furniture into the walls and scratch the paint.

What kind of Moving Blankets should I get?


On our website, we have five different versions of Moving Blankets: USA Made Moving Blankets, Ultimate Cotton Blankets, Premium Moving Blankets, Multicolor Pro Moving Blankets, and Budget Warehouse Pads. Each company has their own names for their Moving Blankets but there is one way to tell the quality of the blanket.

A good rule of thumb is that the heavier the weight, the better the blanket. Our Ultimate Cotton Blankets are the highest quality moving blankets that we have, weighing 6.5 to 8 pounds, and the Budget Warehouse pads are the lowest quality ones available, weighing 4.5 to 5 pounds.

The level of protection that you want will determine the moving blanket that you use. Our Ultimate Cotton Blankets can be used to for heavy furniture and heavyweight items while our Budget Warehouse Pads can be used for lightweight items. If you are wondering how many Moving Blankets you should use, some industry experts recommend 12 Moving Blankets per bedroom. This number could be larger or smaller depending on the person but 12 Moving Blankets per room is a good benchmark!

How to Store Moving Blankets


Moving Blankets are made from durable cotton and polyester blend and they are designed to last a long time! However, as with anything, failing to take proper care of the Moving Blankets could shorten their lifespan. One way to keep the blankets from becoming damaged is to always keep them clean! Clearing the moving blankets of dust, dirt, and debris can greatly increase the life of them. Always be sure to store the blankets in a warm dry place. Water and moisture could cause mold and weaken the structure of the blankets overall.
