Upholstered furniture
Transporting upholstered furniture (couches, sofas, armchairs, poufs, corner sofas) requires proper protection due to their size, weight and sensitive surface.
1Best option: original packaging
The safest way to transport upholstered furniture is to deliver it in the original manufacturer packaging.
- ✓Original packaging provides full protection tailored to the shape of the furniture.
- ✓If you do not have the original – proceed to the next steps.
2Preparing the furniture
- ✓Remove legs, cushions and decorative elements – pack separately.
- ✓Empty compartments and drawers.
- ✓Check that the furniture is dry and clean.
⚠️
Damp, dirty, bed bug-infested or mouldy furniture will not be accepted for transport.
3Surface protection
- ✓Protect corners and edges with cardboard or foam – most prone to damage.
- ✓Wrap the upholstered surface with a blanket, fabric or bubble wrap.
- ✓Wrap the whole piece in stretch film – min. 3–4 layers.
- ✓Stretch film protects against dirt, dust and scuffs.
4Corner sofas (sectional)
- ✓Separate the corner sofa into modules if possible – reduces overall size.
- ✓Wrap each module individually in stretch film.
- ✓Number the modules – makes reassembly easier at the destination.
- ✓Secure folding mechanisms with tape to prevent accidental unfolding.
💡
Take photos of the furniture and how it comes apart before disassembly – this will help with reassembly.
5Leather and faux leather
- ✓Leather furniture requires special attention – do not place bubble wrap directly on the leather.
- ✓First wrap in clean fabric, then bubble wrap, finally stretch film.
- ✓Avoid contact with sharp objects and adhesive tape directly on the leather.
