    How to pack a sofa:

    • Measure Twice, Pack Once: 

    Before you start packing, measure the dimensions of your sofa to ensure it will fit through doorways and hallways in your new home. Disassemble any removable parts, such as legs or cushions, to make packing easier.

    • Gather the Right Supplies: 

    To pack your sofa properly, you’ll need high-quality packing materials, including moving blankets, bubble wrap, packing tape, and plastic wrap. These materials will provide cushioning and protection during transit.

    • Protective Padding is Key: 

    Begin by wrapping your sofa in a moving blanket to shield it from scratches, dust, and other potential damage. Secure the blanket in place with packing tape or plastic wrap, ensuring it stays snug during transportation.

    • Secure Fragile Components: 

    If your sofa has delicate components, such as wooden legs or decorative accents, be sure to wrap them individually in bubble wrap or foam padding. Pay extra attention to any areas that protrude or could be easily damaged during the move.

    • Use the Right Packing Technique: 

    When loading your sofa onto a moving truck or van, position it vertically against a sturdy surface, such as the side wall or back of the vehicle. Avoid placing heavy items on top of the sofa, as this can cause unnecessary pressure and potential damage.
