Moving a couch especially large, from your old place to a new home takes a lot of effort if you don't plan to hire professional Packers and Movers Hyderabad for the task. You will not be able to figure out the movement of the couch out of the door and would not know whether it will enter the new home from the cramped passage. If you have firmly decided to move it out by yourself, you may also need to learn ways and methods to maneuver the couch in cramped spaces to help it enter your new home.

You should basically be aware of its measurements in terms of length, width and height. Fortunately, the legs of the couch are small to throw up any kind of hindrance while moving. However, modern couches come with detachable bottoms that you can remove before moving it. Measure the cramped passage in your new home to determine smooth passage of your couch from the narrow spaces. Here are some tricks to help you negotiate your couch through cramped spaces:

Packing your couch for moving:

1. If the bottom of your couch is detachable, remove the legs. This may not be tough since these are fitted by nuts and bolts. There may be a few that need Allen keys which are available for just Rs. 200/- for a set in the hardware shop. You may also detach your couch into 2 pieces if it is "L" shaped. This will make it much easier to pick and move.
2. Pillows and linen will go separately in the carton boxes. You can also pack them in garbage bags if you find it difficult to procure carton boxes.
3. Once you have disassembled and kept the cushions separate, wrap the couch with corrugated sheets as a first layer. Pack it with shrink wrap as a second layer to ensure the sheets are packed completely to protect it against dust. Take a bubble wrap and finish the packing with a third layer for complete reinforcement against possible falls and crashes.
Moving your couch:
We have mentioned it in our earlier blogs about the dangers heavy lifting can pose to your body. If your couch is exceptionally heavy to move with it, you may also consider renting a hand cart for moving it across. It you find it too stressful to move it by yourself, stop and remember not to push yourself beyond a point where you can either drop the couch or may cause bodily harm to yourself. Instead, look for a professional help by hiring expert Movers and Packers Bangalore to move your couch. Should you however decide to move it by yourself to save money, follow these tips to safely move your couch:

1. First and foremost, get the measurement of the narrow passage at the new home that is used for movement of your stuff. Then measure the couch for its height, width and length to learn if it can slide through the cramped passage. It you don't measure the couch, it might not fit through the narrow door while it may move through the narrow passage.
2. In case the couch does not pass through the door, it is a good idea to call the carpenter to take down the door to enable the move.
3. Before taking down the door, determine the best method to push the couch inside by applying vertical, horizontal or diagonal movement. You might even need to stand the couch upright to move it inside the narrow door.
Yet you find it difficult to get the couch inside your new home, consider taking the expert services of a carpenter to disassemble your couch to the smallest extent and reassemble it in the new home. This might also need the couch to be reupholstered, but you may find this exercise worthwhile to save you enough time and effort.
