The Ultimate Moving Blanket Guide
Which shield does your furniture actually need for the journey?
Why Use Professional Blankets?
Standard sheets or thin plastic wraps aren't enough. Professional furniture pads provide shock absorption, prevent deep scratches, and shield your valuables from dust and moisture during transit.

Deep Dive: Choosing Your Protection
Non-Woven (Budget)
Our most popular choice for one-time local moves and long-term storage unit protection.
Pro Tip: Best for items that won't be moved frequently once packed.
Woven Polyester (The All-Rounder)
Tougher than felt-style blankets. The woven fabric is highly resistant to tearing and snags.
Pro Tip: Perfect for DIYers who need a blanket that can handle rough loading.
Heavy-Duty (The Fortress)
At 70lbs per dozen, this provides nearly double the density. Essential for pianos and antiques.
Pro Tip: The extra weight helps the blanket "grip" furniture during tight turns.
Packwiz Pro Tips for Wrapping
- The Burrito Wrap: Fold the blanket around the item and tuck edges under the legs.
- Tape to Blanket, Not Wood: Never let adhesive tape touch the finish of your furniture.
- Overlap: Use two blankets for large items, overlapping by 12 inches.
