Movers.com, a no-cost resource that helps readers plan for upcoming moves, has launched a new guide that explains professional strategies for moving a couch or other large furniture, and suggestions for readers performing a DIY move, and offers estimated rates for professional movers.
For many individuals, a couch may be their largest piece of furniture, and the largest stumbling block preventing them from completing an entire move without professional help. This new guide from Movers.com explains professional couch-moving techniques, and important steps to ensure the safety of the movers, the furniture, and the residence.

The recently published guide details several important steps that should be taken before the move begins and includes step-by-step instructions for a variety of scenarios. Readers can also use a simple tool included in the report to get estimated rates from local professionals, with no cost or obligation.
Before attempting to move heavy furniture, the expert suggests analyzing the required steps to determine if the project can be completed safely, without assistance. In some situations, individuals may also consider replacing their furniture entirely, if it is in poor condition and likely to be further damaged by the moving process.
Although furniture can often be moved without special tools, particularly if there are several movers to assist, the report also includes a list of items that may be helpful. Depending on the type of furniture being moved, and the obstacles in the way, this may include packing tape, bubble wrap, furniture pads, couch sliders, or a furniture dolly.
For experienced movers, the report suggests that moving straps can be particularly helpful, by allowing helpers to carry the weight in a better position. However, if readers are not familiar with moving straps, they can lead to injury, and the report suggests using furniture sliders instead.
In situations where professional help is required, Movers.com has included a simple tool that allows readers to estimate the rates for various services. To access this tool, readers can click “Get Quotes” on the Movers.com website, and fill in a simple request form to receive up to 7 estimates from local professionals, with no cost and no obligation.
