12 Super Handy Moving Blankets

It’s certainly possible that you don’t need 12 moving blankets—we’ll grant that. But ordering in quantity keeps costs down, and you certainly know people who would benefit from your windfall. We think everybody should have a few moving blankets kicking around. One in the car, one in the garage or the shed, one or two in the basement. You never know when one will come in handy, whether you need to protect an appliance during a move, bring a delicate dresser to a different floor of the house, or protect a work-in-progress during an extended pause. (Woodworkers will know all about the magic of the moving blanket, as they’re lifesavers when it comes to preventing dents and scrapes during assembly.) Made from 100% non-woven polyester with a layer of recycled cotton padding, these blankets are soft and highly cushioned. The double zigzag stitching and cloth binding on all edges help prevent fraying, so they’ll last for years and years. In a pinch, they’re also very effective budget sound dampeners—something that hasn’t escaped the notice of garage bands and amateur podcasters alike! (A single order could cover an entire rehearsal space or studio room.) Each blanket measures 80" L x 73½” W x ¼” thick.
