Quilted Moving Blanket - Cotton Blankets
Key to a successful move is a good supply of moving blankets to protect furniture from scratches, scuff marks and dents.
Moving Blanket - Find it. Love it. Buy it.
Moving blankets are large, thickly padded blankets designed to be draped over furniture to absorb shocks and shake-ups while being carted from one place to another.
A standard size moving blanket is typically 72" x 80", and usually quilted in some fashion to secure an interior batting and provide additional, firm cushioning.
A durable padded blanket should have a high thread count for its outer layer fabric, a heavy batting (between 30-40 ounces) inner layer, and close-stitched quilting for long lasting value. Blankets edges should be firmly bound and double-stitched to prevent fraying or rips.
If durability isn't a prerequisite, many sources offer a selection of economy pads constructed with a non-woven synthetic material for the outer shell and one- two- or three-ply cotton or jute inner layers. Padded blankets of this type are useful as furniture drapes while painting inside or performing any household project that could result in fall-out on the furniture.
Even if you're not a professional mover, a few moving blankets stored in the utility closet or garage are useful articles to have on hand - whether to protect the piano from remodeling overhead, or cushion a stack of great auntie's nightstands in the storage room.
Professional-quality moving blankets are available to purchase online and through self-moving companies, either in singles or in multiples - so before you throw that heirloom quilt across the dresser as you move it downstairs, invest in a couple of moving blanket designed to do the job and deter the dents!
