Protect your furniture during transit by covering it properly. For larger pieces, drape a furniture blanket or moving pad over all surface areas, including sides and corners. Use packing tape or straps to secure the coverings without damaging the finish. Fragile items need extra protection, so wrap glass or mirrors in bubble wrap or foam padding. And for mattresses, chairs, and sofas, use item specific plastic covers. This can help to protect them from unforeseen bad weather, dirt and spills.
