Assumptions used

Per-item allowances: sofa/armchair 3, table/desk 2, dresser/cabinet 2, bed frame/headboard 2, large appliance 2, other large piece 1.5 blankets. Add 10% and round up. Planning blanket size: approximately 72 × 80 in (183 × 203 cm); products vary.

How this calculator works

Count pieces that need protection and consider whether one blanket can cover their exposed surfaces. Oversized, polished or unusually fragile furniture can need more coverage than the category allowance. The spare allowance helps with unexpected pieces, while straps and careful loading remain separate decisions.

How to use this estimate

Packing estimates are starting points. Carton dimensions, item density and the way you seal or protect boxes change material use.

What can change the result

Measurements, provider specifications, packing style and local access conditions can all change the answer. Use the result as a planning range, then verify the actual vehicle, unit, product dimensions or supplier rules before you book or buy.

Planning note: Do not use this calculator as a substitute for payload limits, lifting guidance, building rules or professional quotations.
