Do you wrap furniture in moving blankets?
Yes. Spartan wraps all furniture in moving blankets with tape at no extra charge. Mattresses need a $15 cover, and TVs and mirrors go in boxes.
By Spartan Moving Systems · Updated October 2026 · Cal-T #0190543Every piece, at no charge
Yes. On a full move our crew wraps every piece of furniture in thick moving blankets and secures them with tape before it leaves the room. Both the blankets and the tape are part of the hourly rate. The blankets come back off at the new home and return to the truck with us.
What gets a blanket and what needs something else
| Item | Protection | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Dressers, tables, sofas, chairs | Blankets and tape | Included |
| Treadmills, glass tabletops | Wrapped routinely | Included |
| Mattresses and box springs | Sealed mattress cover | $15 per cover |
| TVs | TV box | Up to $50 for a 75 inch |
| Mirrors, large frames | Packed in a box | Charged as used |
Why mattresses and screens are different
A blanket is great for a wooden dresser, but it does not keep a mattress clean, and it does not stop a flat screen from flexing. A mattress goes into a plastic cover that seals out dust and dirt. Fragile, flat items like TVs, mirrors and artwork need a rigid box. You can pack those yourself, let the crew pack them with supplies billed as used, or pick a packing package at the end of the move. Details are on our packing services page.
When blankets are not included
- Loading-only jobs, like filling a POD or a rental truck you drive yourself, do not include blankets, because we cannot collect them at the other end.
- Unloading-only jobs work the same way.
- On those jobs, wrap with your own pads or buy supplies from us as used.
For a regular door-to-door home move, every piece gets padded as standard, as described on our local moving page.

No. Loading-only jobs do not include blankets, because we cannot get them back.
