North Brunswick Township, United States - November 14, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Movers.com is expanding its catalog of moving information with two new resources for Allentown apartment owners: a guide on packing and moving a sofa, and a directory of pre-screened movers in their area.

More details can be found at https://www.movers.com/packing-guides/packing-sofa.html

With figures from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration showing that item damage during move amounts to an average of over $10,000 per claim, making sure valuable items are adequately protected should be a priority for owners looking to relocate - especially for those moving long distance, says Movers.com.

The website’s guide on “How to Pack and Move a Sofa” offers practical tips on transporting one of the most sensitive pieces of furniture in most homes.

The guide breaks down sofa packing based on sofa type - from standard fabric sofas to sofa beds and leather sofas. For most sofas, using a mix of blankets, microfoam and shrink wrap will ensure adequate protection, assuming all exposed finished wood is covered, and that shrink wrap doesn’t directly touch the surface of the sofa.

Handling shrink wrap becomes even more important when packing leather sofas, explains Movers.com.

“Never wrap a leather sofa with stretch wrap directly,” recommends the report. “The plastic creates condensation which can cause mildew to form and damage your sofa. That would also result in some expensive repairs. Additionally, if your sofa is exposed to extreme heat, the shrink wrap could melt and stick to the leather.”

Readers will also find expert tips on storing a sofa. This includes having the sofa cleaned before storing it, using climate-controlled units to minimize potential damage due to extreme heat or dryness, and covering the floor of the storage unit.

Finally, the guide includes a step-by-step section on how to move a sofa, from planning the route to loading the sofa into the truck.

For Allentown apartment owners looking for quality movers in their area, Movers.com has compiled a directory of pre-screened movers available for interstate moving.
