Ideally, you will tackle first the most difficult rooms to sort and pack \u2013 all storage spaces within the house such as the garage, basement, attic, and any spare rooms. And then, when ready, you should continue the crucial task with the easier rooms to pack when moving \u2013 the living room, bedroom, and bathroom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing a bedroom for moving may seem like a fairly straightforward task but that\u2019s not always the case. You may find yourself really unsure about to how to pack some bedroom items, especially extra voluminous soft ones such as pillows, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are pillows difficult to pack for a move? They can be, yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the best way to pack pillows for moving? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at these 6 different ways to pack your pillows so that they arrive in the new place perfectly intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Why_can_pillows_be_tricky_to_pack_for_moving?\">Why can pillows be tricky to pack for moving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, packing pillows seems easy because those soft goods cannot possibly get broken during a move even if you accidentally drop the boxes that contain them. But the major problem when packing pillows for moving is not their fragility \u2013 rather, it\u2019s their large volume that can prove a bit problematic during the house packing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bedding items such as pillows, cushions, blankets, sheets, and comforters do take up plenty of space when packed in cardboard boxes. Also, the soft goods tend to trap air inside the containers they are packed in, which in turn will waste even more valuable storage room during the relocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, you don\u2019t want to be forced to pack one single pillow in one large cardboard box. If you do, you\u2019re going to need roughly as many large packing boxes as the number of pillows you\u2019re moving with you. And needless to say, that\u2019s a less-than-ideal option to transport the pillows you own to the new place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/how-to-pack-bedding-and-linens-for-moving\/\">How to Pack Bedding and Linens for Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What_to_do_before_packing_up_your_pillows\">What to do before packing up your pillows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we explain the 6 different methods of packing pillows for moving, there are a couple of things you should do first:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pre-packing_task_Sort_your_bed_pillows\">Pre-packing task 1. Sort your bed pillows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/253\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sorting-pillows.jpg\" alt=\"Packing pillows for moving\" class=\"wp-image-36404 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sorting-pillows.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sorting-pillows-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Sorting out your pillows may prove to be harder than you anticipated.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s really no point in packing and transporting some of your bed pillows only to either throw them away shortly after the move or never, ever use them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s true that a few more pillows won\u2019t affect the total shipment weight, they will surely take more space than you like inside the rental truck (when moving on your own) or inside the movers\u2019 vehicle (when using a moving company).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, make sure you sort out all the pillows you have in the house before packing them up. As a rule of thumb, you won\u2019t want to move any pillows that<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>are already too old to be used again;<\/li><li>are too worn out or stained to be used for their intended purpose. Some of them may be torn in places, with their stuffing visible and all;<\/li><li>you\u2019ve never really liked them or you\u2019ve always found them uncomfortable to sleep on (too thin or too thick);<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you\u2019re getting ready to move out, it seems like the ideal opportunity to get rid of the pillows, as well as the rest of the bedding items that you don\u2019t intend to use in the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pre-packing_task_Prepare_the_packing_supplies\">Pre-packing task 2. Prepare the packing supplies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you figure out which pillows you will move with you, it\u2019s time to make sure you\u2019ve got the required packing materials to complete the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the major packing supplies you\u2019ll need to protect your pillows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Cardboard boxes<\/strong>. Since pillows are big but lightweight, you\u2019re going to need large (18&#8243; x 18&#8243; x 24&#8243;, 4.5 cu\/ft) or even extra-large (24&#8243; x 18&#8243; x 24&#8243;, 6 cu\/ft) cardboard boxes.<\/li><li><strong>Packing paper<\/strong>. You\u2019ll only need clean white wrapping paper to line the moving boxes before you pack them up with pillows.<\/li><li><strong>Plastic bags<\/strong>. Get hold of brand-new trash bags that are durable as well.<\/li><li><strong>Vacuum bags<\/strong>. You might want to use vacuum bags to pack up your voluminous pillows, especially if your storage space is very limited.<\/li><li><strong>Tape<\/strong>. Regular packing tape is just fine.<\/li><li><strong>A marker<\/strong>. You\u2019re going to need a black marker to label the boxes appropriately once you pack them up.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/get-packing-supplies-free\/\">Where to Get Free Packing Supplies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pack_pillows_in_drawers\">Option 1. Pack pillows in drawers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to pack pillows for moving is to place them inside the drawers of a chest of drawers or a dresser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/300\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pillow-fight.jpg\" alt=\"Packing pillows for a move\" class=\"wp-image-36406 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pillow-fight.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pillow-fight-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Consider taking a short break from packing pillows for a quick pillow fight. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve already decided to move a piece of furniture with multiple drawers, then it would be an enormous waste of useful storage space to haul those drawers empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a rule of thumb, a chest of drawers is not meant to be moved around with any extra weight inside them, but the good news here is that pillows are very lightweight items, so they are the perfect household items to be tucked inside empty drawers and be transported to the new home that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, you should feel free to pack pillows inside any drawers you\u2019re taking with you regardless of which type of furniture they belong to. Sometimes beds will have a few drawers underneath them as extra storage, so you can tuck some of the pillows in there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you happen to be moving a desk and its drawers are empty, then consider inserting a few bed pillows in them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing pillows in drawers is super easy \u2013 just place a sheet of clean packing paper on the bottom of the drawer and place a pillow inside it. Then, use masking tape to secure the drawer if the latter will be transported together with the main furniture structure. If the drawer will be moved independently, then use stretch wrap over the open part of the drawer to protect the pillow and the drawer itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/moving-drawers\/\">Moving Drawers: In or Out? Empty or Full?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pack_pillows_in_cardboard_boxes\">Option 2. Pack pillows in cardboard boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most commonly, you\u2019ll be packing your pillows in large or extra-large moving boxes. Remember that since soft voluminous goods are generally pretty lightweight, you can safely transport them in large cardboard boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the best way to pack pillows in boxes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Pad <\/strong>the bottom of a large cardboard box using several sheets of clean, white packing paper.<\/li><li><strong>Inspect <\/strong>carefully each pillow you plan to pack inside cardboard boxes. Your pillows have to be 100% dry before you pack them up to avoid potential mold growth. If you find out that they, or any of your bedding items, are even slightly damp (mostly from sweat), then place them in direct sunlight so that they can air dry, or use a hairdryer to speed up the drying process.<\/li><li><strong>Pack <\/strong>a pillow into the cardboard box.<\/li><li><strong>Place <\/strong>another pillow over the first one, if the space allows it. Press down on the second pillow to let out any trapped air between the two soft items.<\/li><li><strong>Add <\/strong>a third pillow to the box, if possible. If not, position a sheet of wrapping paper on the very top and close the container.<\/li><li><strong>Tape <\/strong>the box shut and label it appropriately by writing <strong>PILLOWS, BEDROOM<\/strong> on it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/packing-timeline\/\">Packing Timeline: What to Pack When for Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pack_pillows_in_wardrobe_boxes\">Option 3. Pack pillows in wardrobe boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/300\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wardrobe-box.jpg\" alt=\"How to pack pillows in wardrobe boxes\" class=\"wp-image-36408 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wardrobe-box.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wardrobe-box-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Your pillows will be just fine on the bottom of the wardrobe boxes. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve decided to pack your expensive designer clothes into specialized wardrobe boxes, then you should definitely use the storage space that\u2019s created between the end of the hanging clothes and the bottom of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use that bonus storage room inside the wardrobe boxes to arrange shoeboxes full of properly protected shoes (see <a href=\"\/move\/pack-shoes-for-moving\/\">How to Pack Shoes for Moving<\/a>). However, you can also use the storage space to pack several pillows that won\u2019t affect much the weight of a wardrobe box when it\u2019s full of hanging clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to pack pillows in wardrobe boxes? It\u2019s easy enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Make sure <\/strong>the pillows are completely dry. If not, let them air dry in the sun or use a hairdryer.<\/li><li><strong>Insert <\/strong>the pillows in large plastic bags, preferably brand-new garbage bags that are also durable enough not to rip off almost immediately.<\/li><li><strong>Arrange <\/strong>the pillows on the bottom of the wardrobe boxes. If there\u2019s enough space, you can stack the pillows one on top of the other. However, make sure you don\u2019t stack them too high up into the hanging clothes \u2013 otherwise, they may cause the clothes to wrinkle up which will defeat the original purpose of the wardrobe boxes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/types-of-moving-boxes\/\">Types of Moving Boxes: The Best Moving Boxes for Your Packing Needs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pack_pillows_in_plastic_bags\">Option 4. Pack pillows in plastic bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a doubt, the easiest and quickest way to pack pillows when moving is to insert each one into a large garbage bag and then load all of them into the truck and position them strategically, usually between breakable items for additional padding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing pillows in plastic bags is a great option when you\u2019re running out of time and your things need to be packed really, really quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Get <\/strong>brand-new plastic garbage bags. Pick a brand that you\u2019re familiar with simply because you want to be sure that the plastic bags you\u2019ll be using will be strong enough for the job.<\/li><li><strong>Insert <\/strong>a pillow into a plastic bag that\u2019s big enough to accommodate it.<\/li><li><strong>Use <\/strong>pieces of tape to close and seal the open part of the bag. Ensure that the packing tape won\u2019t come into direct contact with the pillow.<\/li><li><strong>Close <\/strong>the plastic bag using the drawstrings when you\u2019re using drawstring garbage bags, then tie up the strings to secure the pillow.<\/li><li><strong>Load <\/strong>the plastic-wrapped pillows onto the moving vehicle and place them in such ways as to protect breakable items or to fill in any sizeable gaps created during the truck-loading process.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Note: If the trash bags you\u2019re using seem too thin, then insert each bed pillow into two plastic bags for extra assurance that the soft items will stay protected throughout the move.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pack_pillows_in_vacuum_bags\">Option 5. Pack pillows in vacuum bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that pillows are not fragile in any way and you don\u2019t have to worry about breaking them during the relocation. The bad news is that the volume of those bedding pieces is so large that you\u2019re likely to find yourself in dire need of more packing and storage space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An alternative way to pack pillows for a move is to shrink their volume considerably using specialized vacuum seal bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/338\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cute-pillow.jpg\" alt=\"Packing pillows when moving\" class=\"wp-image-36410 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cute-pillow.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/cute-pillow-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Some pillows are cuter than others.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that vacuum storage bags are not used only for storing large yet soft items such as comforters, quilts, blankets, winter jackets, and of course \u2013 pillows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those airtight plastic bags can be used efficiently during a house move where packing space becomes critical for the success of the entire house-moving operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacuum seal bags are not very cheap but they should be a good investment because you can also use them for storing voluminous items after the move is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best of all, using vacuum storage bags is super easy \u2013 all you have to do is fill such a vacuum bag with pillows, seal the open end properly, remove the cap of the air valve of the bag, and then suck the air out of the bag using either a vacuum cleaner or a hand pump. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for use. Vacuum bags are supposedly able to shrink the original volume of soft goods by 80%, or at least that\u2019s what some manufacturers say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pack_pillows_into_boxes_with_other_breakables\">Option 6. Pack pillows into boxes with other breakables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final method of packing pillows when moving to a new home is to pack each pillow separately into a box that contains extra-fragile items such as kitchen plates, glasses, lamps, or pieces of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about it: sleeping pillows are excellent padding materials and since you\u2019re moving them to the new place, why don\u2019t you use them to help protect some of your most breakable possessions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Pack <\/strong>a pillow in a plastic bag as described above;<\/li><li><strong>Leave <\/strong>enough space on the very top when packing highly breakable items made of porcelain or glass;<\/li><li><strong>Place <\/strong>the pillow on the top when you\u2019re done packing those super-fragile things. In reality, the pillow will create a very thick padding layer that will cushion the breakables and keep them safe during transport.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/pack-fragile-items-for-moving\/\">How to Pack Fragile Items for Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, packing pillows for moving is a no-brainer task that you shouldn\u2019t worry about too much.
