Hikkoshi Wraps are elastic moving blankets that form around almost any piece of furniture without the need for bands, tape, or plastic. They are specifically designed for professional moving companies who want a quicker and more consistent way to protect their customers' furniture.
In this article, we compiled the most honest Hikkoshi Wraps reviews from real moving company owners who purchased our products. No company was paid for their feedback or offered any free products in exchange for their review.
What professional movers say
"We ordered one of the small Hikkoshi Wraps to try out, and it works really good."
"We are officially the ONLY moving company in Las Vegas using premium Hikkoshi Wraps!"
"Had the crew using Hikkoshi Wraps on the furniture, and they're a game changer."
"Unlike standard moving blankets that slip or require tons of plastic stretch wrap, Hikkoshi Wraps hug your furniture snugly."
"We'll likely be stocking up on them to help cut down the amount of time prep work takes."
"I think they're pretty cool. It's a very niche type of blanket, and I can absolutely see the value for local work."
"I love finding new equipment that makes our job easier and provide better service to our clients."
See how Moving Company Owners are using Hikkoshi Wraps
In this section, we will break down not only how Moving Company Owners use our wraps, but also how they use each size.
All photos and videos were taken by our customers.
Size small
Even though our small size may look small, it stretches up to 5 feet!
Our customers enjoy using the size small on smaller items but have the freedom to use it on bigger items if needed.
If you're familiar with bands, each color is a different size, and each size stretches huge.
But you don't want to max out the band, even though there's a small chance it will ever break (unless they're really old).
That's how the size small is, stretches huge, but you don't want to max it out, and keep it for the smaller furniture pieces.
Dimensions
- Height: 20 inches
- Width: 24 inches
- Max width (when stretched): 5 feet
Best use
- Chairs

Size medium
A favorite among moving company owners because it fits on just about anything.
It's small enough to fit over smaller pieces like coffee tables and stretchable enough to go over loveseats.
The Hikkoshi Wrap size medium is the most used size.
That's why in the bulk set (12 wraps) we include 5 size medium.
Moving company owners often come back and order more bulk sets (12-pack) just to get more of the size medium.
One big highlight of the size medium is that it goes over perfectly around a dining table, saving you tons of time if you were to use the standard moving blankets.
Dimensions
- Height: 20 inches
- Width: 40 inches
- Max width (when stretched): 8 feet 4 inches
Best use
- Dressers
- Recliners
- Headboards/footboards
- Loveseats
- Dining tables

Size large
The Hikkoshi Wrap size large is a crowd favorite because it eliminates the need for having multiple people on very large pieces, such as refrigerators.
Moving company owners love being able to wrap a fridge in seconds with only one mover, instead of two.
The large size covers so much surface area when wrapping large pieces like bookcases or chest freezers, which is why so many owners love this size.
Dimensions
- Height: 43 inches
- Width: 40 inches
- Max width (when stretched): 8 feet 4 inches
Best use
- Refridgerators
- Dressers
- Chest freezers
- Armoires
- Bookcases

Size XL
The size XL is hands down the pound-for-pound king when it comes to saving time for moving company owners.
If you're a moving company owner, you know how long it takes to wrap a couch (even if you have experience).
You won't need many of these (2-3 max), and they aren't the cheapest either, but owners never regret purchasing this size because it saves so much time.
Dimensions
- Height: 43 inches
- Width: 70 inches
- Max width (when stretched): 14 feet 7 inches
Best use
- Sofas/couches
- King headboard/footboard
- Sectionals
- Extra-large furniture

How the wraps performed on jobs
Our customers reported saving time, not only on training but on job sites.
Time savings marketing strategy
One moving company owner started using the time savings as a marketing strategy. Since they charge by the hour, they will save you (the customer) money on your move.
Honest limitations
Now for the bad.
We want to be as transparent as possible in our products and welcome all feedback, good or bad.
Price
The biggest complaint for moving company owners is the price.
Hikkoshi Wraps are unaffordable to most moving companies because of the low barrier to entry for standard moving blankets.
Shipping
Since we are based in the USA, shipping to far-away countries like Australia will be costly.
With the added cost of international shipping and duties, this makes Hikkoshi Wraps out of the question for most international moving companies abroad.
We do, however, offer free shipping on all products to the USA and Canada.
Practicality
Moving companies that specialize in long-distance moving, where they may not always have the opportunity to get the pads back, make it a major downside.
Comparison with standard blankets
River Hills Moving did a side-by-side comparison of Hikkoshi Wraps compared to using standard moving blankets.
The result was that his crew is now working twice as fast.
FAQ
Do Hikkoshi Wraps slip off?
Quite the opposite.
It is more difficult to take the wraps off furniture than to put them on.
They work much like a sock on your foot, they form to your foot and don't slip off. You need to pull them off.
How long do they last?
Expect your wraps to last at least 5 years.
We have wraps on our trucks (we are moving company owners as well) for over 2.5 years and there are no signs of needing replacement anytime soon.
What are they made out of?
Hikkoshi Wraps are made out of 100% polyester and have built-in elastic inside the blanket to form around almost any piece of furniture.
Why are they so expensive?
Hikkoshi Wraps stretch 250% their original size, which means they use up a lot of material.
So although they look small, they stretch far bigger than their resting position, our smallest size stretches up to 5 feet!
Hikkoshi Wraps took years of development and lots of failures to get it right. You can read our founder story here.
Do you ship to my country?
We will ship to anywhere in the world! If you don't see your country listed, send us a message and we'll make something happen.
