Alternatives To Moving Blankets

A lot of times people don't want to spend the extra money on moving blankets so they just reused their old comforters or blankets, sheets etc. This can work in some situations but isn't highly recommended if you are moving your valueables very long distances.

A good old comforter, as cushiony as possible is as good alternative, it's just not going to stay in very good condition for long if you use it to move your stuff around. Don't be shocked when you are all done and you can't use that blanket anymore.

If you plan on using tape, rubber bands, etc on your blankets, then you will probably want to avoid using these alternatives completely unless you are 100% totally ready to give up on the blankets you will be using.

Bottom line is that if you have old throw away blankets, they might just do the job. But if you think you can just use your normal blankets for a long move and then just go back to normal afterwards, you will probably be dissapointed.
