The Different Types of Moving Blankets

There are two main kinds of moving blankets with one being Thin Moving Blankets and the other being Thick Moving Blankets. While some moving blankets are between thin and thick most customers tend to go for one or the other due to affordability or ultimate levels of protection to sensitive surfaces.

Moving Blankets are different from traditional blankets you may have lying around the house often made from cotton, polyester, or recycled materials and sewn together using an “S” pattern stitching to bind the moving blankets together. These moving blankets are much heavier duty as they can weigh upwards of 8 lbs or higher for ultimate protection moving blankets.

Our moving blankets are sold in singles, packs of 4, or by the dozen except for lightweight budget warehouse pads that are only sold in packs of 2 dozen pieces. Here at Moving Blankets USA we also offer large quantity discount pricing which in short results in the more moving blankets you purchase the lower the overall price.
