Hello, and thank you for visiting Movers.com!
When hiring professional movers, you may want to attempt to calculate the weight of your furniture and belongings to get an idea of what your move will cost. Additionally, if you are renting a truck and transporting your own goods, you will need to determine the cubic footage of your possessions to know what size trailer you will need. While the weights of your sofa and loveseat may vary, you can estimate their volume to get an idea of your moving costs in advance.
The following table will give you an idea of the cubic footage and weights for different sized couches:
| Type of sofa |
