SIMPLI-MAGIC 79523 Heavy Duty Padded Moving Blankets, Black/Orange, 72” x 80”, 12 Pack

I had to move a good bit of antique furniture and very breakable, fragile items a 12-hour bumpy Interstate ride away in a pickup truck. These did great! While they are probably more of a medium duty thickness, there were enough in the pack that I could use some as extra cushioning between the bed of my truck and the pieces I was moving. I didn't just rely on the one blanket I used to wrap the piece with to do ALL the cushioning. I was concerned with how fragile some of the pieces were, so I made sure they were double-wrapped and had extra cushioning between all the hard parts of the truck. Everything made it to its destination in one piece and protected from all the road dust which was a huge bonus. Definitely will be buying more for my next antique delivery.

These moving blankets have held up to being used in my wife’s antique shop buying and selling moves. Multiple uses without falling apart, and even though they get wet they dry quickly. Surprisingly good quality materials and cinstruction.

These were key to my recent move. I shrink wrapped them to pieces of furniture I wanted to protect and they did their job. I even set a 600lb safe on one and pulled it across a wood floor (with a little help). Pulling from the corners of the blankets, they took it like a champ. No tears, no stretching.

Worked fine for me, moved from Arizona to Indiana, protected the furniture very well. Seems a bit thin, but did a good job.

The movers commented on the quality and said these were better than their moving blankets.

These served me well on my move.

Kept all our furniture safe during move across town. Protected five all-glass cabinets, too! I noticed some abrasion on the blankets from movement in the truck, but the items within were unscathed. Currently using them as dropcloths for painting :)

Used extensively for moving. These are fairly adequate, but do note that they are about half the thickness of typical moving blankets you might find at hardware stores or compared to the kind provided by U-Haul. On the plus side, that means they take up less space when folding them away, but when actually using them you may want to be a bit more discerning if you have them between heavy objects that might rub against one another.I did have one tear, but the blanket was pinned beneath a ~100 lbs object and not moving. A thicker blanket, like of the kind I alluded to previously, wouldn't have torn.These are also slightly on the smaller side of moving blankets.All in all, these are made to a price. You can instantly tell by looking at the quality of the stitching and thinness of the orange fabric that encircles the blanket. I would say for the majority of use cases, these are going to be just fine with a bit of planning; if you have heavier objects, consider folding the blanket to give yourself extra padding; when sliding the blanket beneath objects, consider the weight of the object and if the blanket is stuck in place to prevent tears.Other reviews mentioned black dust from using these. I didn't have that issue. They also didn't have any particular odor -- sometimes "industrial" products like these have a notable oily or chemical smell.
