Moving Blankets

Moving Blankets are more than just a supplement or nicety to consider on your next move.  They should be a must have item that can help protect your belongings and keep them from harm.  The benefits of moving blankets over alternatives are numerous.  Here, are few of the advantages of moving blankets. 

·         Moving blankets are reusable allowing you to recoup your cost very quickly. 

·         They are more durable than bubble wrap and other items at protecting larger pieces of furniture.

What You Can Find in Moving Blankets 

Moving blankets come in some different sizes, but most come with dimensions of 72 x 80.  In addition, they will often have filler weight of anywhere from 15 oz to 38oz.  Generally speaking, the higher the filler weight, the more protection the blankets will provide you.  Most moving blankets come in the colors dark blue, light blue, green, or brown and are made of a quilted fabric.  However, other formats include paper and other more highly durable fabrics.  The more highly durable fabrics are particularly interesting because they can hold up more to tears or rips in the blankets.  For this reason, they are at a premium and should be sought after especially if you believe you will be doing a lot of moving over the next 10 years. 

By keeping these thoughts in mind, you should be well on your way to finding some quality moving blankets.  We recommend you use them in your next move regardless of whether you are doing a self move or having someone else do the driving.
