Furniture Storage Tips: How to Store Sofas, Mattresses and Wardrobes Safely

Whether you're moving house, emigrating or simply freeing up space at home, large furniture is often the hardest thing to place. Here's what our team shares with customers about furniture storage.

Before Storage: Clean and Disassemble

Vacuum sofas and mattresses before they go into storage, and wipe wooden furniture down, making sure it's fully dry before wrapping. Disassemble what you can (bed frames, table legs) to save a lot of space, and bag the screws and fittings, taping each bag to its matching piece.

The Environment Matters Most When Choosing a Warehouse

Wooden furniture, sofa fabric and mattresses are most vulnerable to damp and mould. Look for temperature and humidity control, 24-hour security monitoring and proper fire safety systems. Our door-to-door mini storage comes in sizes from 12 to 48 sq ft to suit different amounts of furniture.

Not Sure How Much Space You Need? Just Send a Photo

Many customers struggle to estimate how many square feet their furniture needs. The easiest way: WhatsApp a photo to 6039 7774 and our team will suggest a suitable size. For larger quantities, our central warehouse quotes directly from photos, with a minimum term of just one month.

Leave the Heavy Lifting to Professionals

Sofas, mattresses and wardrobes are heavy and bulky — renting a van and moving them yourself wastes time and risks injury. We provide door-to-door pickup and delivery: our team collects from your home and delivers back when needed. Large items like fridges and washing machines are handled the same way.

When Do People Use Furniture Storage?

The most common cases are the handover gap when moving house and home renovation: the old flat must be returned before the new one is ready, or furniture is blocking the contractors. Door-to-door mini storage has a minimum term of three months — a good fit for these transition periods.
