Sofa Beds and House Blankets during the Move out

Posted on 14/05/2012


Do you have a valuable sofa bed at home that you want safely transported during a move out? If you do have, what do you plan to do in order to protect the sofa bed from getting scratches and getting damaged? Would you be hiring an expert to help you out?  But what will happen if you do not have enough money to have this done?
Are there any alternatives that you can use at home to protect your sofa bed from getting damaged and scratched?  Well, apparently, there are home-made remedies that you can use in order to give protection to your most valued sofa bed. 
Did you know that you can wrap the sofa bed using your home blanket to provide protection to it? Yes, that is possible!  The heavy weight of the sofa bed makes it a little difficult to be protected using a blanket.  The sofa bed should it be wrapped with a home blanket during a move out needs and requires some few skills and tips from the experts.  Below are some of these:
a.        Even before you think about using the home blanket as a protector to your sofa bed, think about how you will put it out of the home and if it can be placed inside the new home without the need to disentangle and disassemble it.  You can actually determine that by measuring the size of the sofa bed and then measure the width and length of the hallway of the new house and the old house.   If based on the measurement, the sofa bed is not capable of being wrapped using a blanket and taken out at once, then you may need to contact an expert or the manufacturer where you bought it and ask for someone to disassemble it. 
b.      After considering the size of the hallway, the sofa beds, and the blanket to be used, prepare yourself to wrap the sofa bed.  There are actually some skills required in order to perfectly and efficiently wrap the sofa bed using the blanket as suggested by the experts in moving out.  What you need to do is to check on the ergonomics of the sofa bed because there are other sofa beds that have hollow frame stretched over the entire bed.  In this case, there is a necessary way on how you can effectively wrap it. 
c.       Tie the sofa bed against the sofa frame after everything has been checked.  You can use a packing tape or any form of a rope, just makes sure that you have the frame and the bed properly tied up.  Check for any loosened rope to ensure safety during the move out. 
d.      Start wrapping the entire sofa bed with a home blanket.  Check whether the blanket is capable of wrapping the entire sofa bed.  If you do not have a bigger blanket to cover the entire sofa, use an extension blanket to cover for it.
You should only follow these smart and helpful tips if you want to lessen the expenses of moving out more so if you are moving out a lot of huge sofa bed and other furniture pieces.
