Do I need to create an account?

No account required. Your plan is saved automatically and accessible by URL. You can also add your email so reminder emails can be sent.

How long does it take to generate a plan?

Yes. Every task, room, budget line, address, utility, and box label is editable. You can add custom tasks, mark items done, and rearrange the plan to fit how you actually want to move.

Can I pack things inside a storage ottoman?

Yes, but stick to light, soft items like linens and pillows. Heavy contents strain the hinge and make the ottoman awkward to lift.

Do I need to wrap an ottoman?

A blanket and stretch wrap keep the upholstery clean and protect the corners. It only takes a minute and prevents scuffs from other items in the truck.

Where should an ottoman go in the moving truck?

Use it to fill gaps, such as under a table or between larger pieces. It braces the surrounding items and makes good use of otherwise wasted space.

How to Move an Ottoman

Last updated 2026-07-13 · MovePlan Editorial Team

An ottoman is one of the simplest pieces to move, and a storage ottoman doubles as a packing container. A little wrapping keeps the upholstery clean in transit.

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 10 to 20 minutes
Typical cost: DIY free, usually part of a larger move quote
Supplies: furniture blankets, stretch wrap, screwdriver, packing tape

Pro tip: A storage ottoman is a free packing box for pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals; fill it after wrapping the outside.

Watch out: Do not pack heavy or fragile items inside a storage ottoman, since the extra weight strains the hinge and the load can shift.
