Dec 13, 2023
Movers.com, an online relocation directory offering no-cost moving quotes, has published a new guide for homeowners on how to safely move a couch.
North Brunswick Township, United States - December 13, 2023 /PressCable/ —
With its latest guide, Movers.com offers practical tips on how to move heavy furniture when completing a DIY move. Moving home independently can be a challenging task, particularly when lifting heavy boxes and furniture. Without the proper technique and equipment, DIY movers are at high risk of injury and could end up damaging furniture in the process, say the experts.

The new guide from Movers.com provides simple recommendations for moving a couch safely. Firstly, homeowners are advised to consider whether moving their sofa is a constructive use of time and energy. For example, if the condition of the couch is poor, it may be more financially viable to buy a new one.
Couches are notoriously difficult to lift and transport due to their size and weight. Movers.com recommends detaching any removal components, such as legs, cushions and armrests, to make the moving process easier. Disassembling a couch ensures it is compact enough to fit through doorways and hallways, explains the guide.
Another step of the preparation process is to pack and secure the couch with bubble wrap, moving blankets and packing tape. This protects furniture from damage such as scratches, tears and scuffs during the moving process.
Alongside packing and preparation, the guide also discusses the moving equipment needed to transport a couch safely. Movers.com recommends renting a furniture dolly, a 4-square wheeled platform, designed to transport heavy items quickly and easily. Those looking to glide, rather than lift, a sofa can also make use of a furniture slider, says the guide. This reduces friction between the floor and furniture, making it easier to move heavy furniture across flat distances.
Movers.com reminds DIY movers to measure their couch well in advance to ensure it fits through doorways and down staircases. As a spokesperson for the company explains: “If you aren't proactive or careful, an unpredictable issue can slow down or completely halt the entire moving process. For instance, if you find out at the last moment that your sofa won’t get through the door or a steep corridor, you may need to delay your entire relocation.”
Those concerned about moving their heavy furniture independently can make use of Movers.com’s extensive online directory of reputable, licensed movers.
