Here is the step by step guide that is worth taking note for:

Ask yourself if the couch is worth taking to your new place

When you are preparing your belongings for packing then it is necessary to decide if they are worth to be taken to your new place of not. As many items you move, the bigger moving vehicle will be required and the more you will have to pay for its packing and moving. So that is the reason you should take a wise decision and only take necessary belongings with you after calculating all the important parameters. If there is anything that you think is not worth moving, expensive or not possible to be taken with you then you can sell or donate such things.

Remove all the accessories from the sofas

The first thing after deciding what you have to move is that you should remove all the cushions, pillows and, throw blankets  or any kind of decorative pieces from the couch. Make sure you pack these in separate boxes that are well-labeled. If the couch has any removable seat cushions then remove them as well and then pack each of them with plastic wrap in order to protect them from any kind of dust or dirt during the haul. Then keep the cushions in the moving vehicle firmly.

Try to disassemble other parts of the sofa

There are sofas that have some of the parts that can be disassembled easily. The legs and arms of some of the sofas are often designed in a way that can be detached easily. If your sofa is one of a kind then it is advisable disassembling whatever you can, it will definitely make the process of moving much more easy. Bear in mind that you don’t forcefully try to disassemble any part unless it is meant to be.  If you try to force then you might end up breaking it.

If you are able to dismantle some of the parts of the sofa like arms, legs and the like then wrap them all separately with packing paper and the then cover it with moving blanket. If there are any parts that are too small then make sure you packed then in a cardboard box and then label it right away.

Wrap the couch

When you complete the work of disassembling, then you should pack the frame of the couch with the help of packing paper and then with the moving blanket. It is advisable to use good quality of packing paper and then with the other protective layers as this the best way to protect the couch in transit. if your sofa is made of leather then it is very important to use moving blanket because packing paper might stick to it and might leave the sticky residue on it that can spoil the overall appearance of the paper.

Load the couch on to the moving vehicle

Here you will get to know some of the ways to load the couch on to the moving vehicle:

Depending upon a few parameters like wide doors, elevator, stairs you will require a furniture dolly to take the furniture from your house to the moving vehicle. You can either rent it for your moving day or if you think that  you move often and you require it every time you can purchase one as well.

Another thing that you need are furniture slider. It helps to move the furniture on the floor without damaging anything, neither the floor nor the piece of furniture.

On the other hand if you hire packers and movers Noida then they will come along with all the equipment and you won’t have to arrange for any.
