Experience and knowledge are needed when employing moving blankets to cover the couch bed to transportation. Two people are required to move a couch especially the sofa bed, due to the size and heavy they are. Covering a sofa bed with moving blankets is a task best left to experts in case you’re not comfortable with this task. A covered sofa that is quilted could be used for more than moving a couch and for storage purposes, shielding from dust, dirt scratches of pets, sun fade and so on. When it is time to move day the standard sofas usually provide ease since they are massive however, they are light weight. But, a massive and heavy sofa bed could create difficulties.
Prior to attempting to arrange your sofa
Check that the sofabed (or “hide-a-bed”) can be safely moved out and moved into the new location before wrapping it up for the move. Recall the time you purchased your sofa bed, and look back to see if it came as a single piece or was put together in the interior. Have you recently had any changes made to your place which could have made your hallway narrower?
If you’re concerned that your sofa won’t be able to pass through your door, call the store or manufacturer of the sofa bed from which you bought it to determine whether they are able to dismantle it and then transport it to the new place. This process can cost you $175 and it’s an investment worth it.
Be aware that the size of your sofa will grow by about an inch or two when the blanket wrap is put on. It is sometimes simpler to wrap the couch in blankets and throw it onto to the rear of the truck. In the majority of cases, skilled mover can take the couch’s bed free by twisting it around tight corners and then moving it through doors that are narrow with an upside. But, this isn’t always the case. trying for the couch to fit into the narrowest of openings is a specific way to inflict damage on the sofa , walls and doors you pass through.
The sofa bed should be wrapped and ready to wrap by:
How do you wrap a sofa bed to look like pros?
It is important to first examine the state of your couch mattress. The couch can stretch over a frame in certain cases while in others, it could be connected to cushioned pieces.
Warn: The frame might be damaged when the couch bed that has it’s hollow frame set incorrectly on a dolly that is moving. Another way to ruin the couch is by placing something heavy on one of the hollow spaces.
Take out the couch cushions. If you intend to carry the couch down or up the stairs, it is important be sure to keep it as light as you can. Cut the pillows into half lengthwise and place them in a closet box or bundle them up and secure them using rope or straps.
Lift the skirting up and put it in a loose rubber band against the fabric to stop wrinkles from appearing in the “Skirt” of a sofa. (NOTE: Naugahyde and velvet finishes could be damaged by excessively tight tape or rubber bands.)
In the event that you’re using bed frames, tie it to the frame of the couch. It can also be used to tie up a tool, or make use of a rope or a moving strap.
Place some pillows on the couch.
The time to wrap is now. To secure a sofa you’ll need four moving blankets of standard size (72 inches by 80 inches).
It is necessary to remove the couch from the wall so that it can move over it. Your first cushion should extend to the floor from front to back and folded just enough to completely cover the back.
Cover your back with another blanket. Make sure not to have enough blankets in the front to be slightly higher than your back.
Spread one blanket per side making sure that it covers the corners at the front and the back and long enough to fold underneath the bottom. The rear and front blankets should be covered by these blankets as they move moving. All blankets must be on the sofa now.
The use of tape or rubber bands could be used to attach the blankets moving on the couch.
Note: If you’re able to lay out your couch using the moving dolly or put it inside the truck, then rubber bands are enough. However, you’ll require packing tape to push the couch bed into the entryway or take the couch down staircase. Blankets are likely to fall off the couch due to the rubber bands aren’t sturdy enough. The person who moves it will have a difficult time lifting the couch since the couch isn’t strong enough to have a strong “hold” on it.
The couch should be wrapped in moving blankets so that it is secure while transporting.
The ideal spot to start tapering the blankets to the sofa is in the middle (vertically) approximately halfway up the overall height. Beginning at the underside of the frame and under the seat and moving from across the sofa from side to side. To ensure that the blanket covers the corners and sides of the sofa and doesn’t hang out it is recommended to fold and tuck the corners to the couch’s corners, and then secure them by securing them with tape. They will keep the four blankets together. Repeat the process several times with this tape. It is possible to take the couch off if we follow this procedure.
Tape the armrests to hold the blankets on the sides in place. Then move towards the rear on the sofa. All the blankets need to be folded in all the way across the bed by now.
Turn the couch to the side and wrap it in at least three spots that are right over your armrests as well as across the middle. If the couch is large, you may think about placing two bands across the middle of the couch to hold the blankets that are stray. The bottom of the truck using the blankets for moving. (It is not necessary to cover the entire bottom but it is important to protect those corners.) Take off the legs if they’re removable. If the legs on the couch are not able to be removed, drape the blanket that is moving over the legs and secure them with tape. Then flip the couch and repeat the procedure on the opposite side.
