How to Move a Sofa Safely & Arrange Efficient Delivery Services

Moving a sofa can be a challenging and physically demanding task, especially if it’s large, heavy, or has to be manoeuvred through tight spaces, stairs, or doorways. Whether you’re moving home, rearranging your furniture, or delivering a sofa to a customer, proper planning and techniques are essential to avoid damage or injury.

In this guide, we’ll provide expert tips on how to move a sofa, followed by details on how MNM Removals offers professional sofa delivery services for residential clients and businesses across Leicestershire, the East Midlands, and the UK.

📦 Step-by-Step Guide to Moving a Sofa

1️⃣ Measure & Plan Ahead

Before attempting to move a sofa, measure:
✔ The sofa’s dimensions (length, width, and height).
✔ Doorways, hallways, staircases, and lifts to ensure the sofa will fit through.
✔ The new space where the sofa will be placed to confirm it fits.

💡 Tip: If the sofa is too large for a standard doorway, check if it can be disassembled (e.g., removing legs or arms).

2️⃣ Clear the Pathway

✔ Remove any obstacles along the route to prevent tripping hazards.
✔ Protect walls, door frames, and floors with moving blankets or cardboard.
✔ Secure pets and children in another room for safety.

💡 Tip: If moving through a tight space, consider tilting the sofa at an angle for easier manoeuvring.

3️⃣ Use the Right Equipment

Using the proper tools makes moving a sofa much easier:
✔ Furniture sliders – Help glide the sofa across floors without scratching them.
✔ Dollies & trolleys – Reduce the strain of carrying a heavy sofa.
✔ Lifting straps – Help distribute weight and make lifting easier.

💡 Tip: Always lift with your legs, not your back, to avoid injury.

4️⃣ Teamwork is Key

✔ Always have at least two people to move a sofa safely.
✔ Communicate clearly and move slowly to prevent accidents.
✔ Take breaks if necessary to avoid strain.

💡 Tip: If moving upstairs, the stronger person should be at the bottom, as they’ll carry most of the weight.

5️⃣ Protect Your Sofa During Transport

✔ Wrap the sofa in moving blankets or plastic to prevent dirt and damage.
✔ Secure it in the moving van using ropes or straps.
✔ Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the sofa.

💡 Tip: If your sofa is leather, cover it with breathable fabric to prevent sweating and cracking.
