The medium boxes are for general packing items such as, glass and china, pots and pans general contents of cupboards etc. The Small boxes are ideal for books, magazines, jars sauces from kitchen or bathroom items. These smaller boxes are also very handy to pack last minute fridge items into!

If you have a very new large mattress, it can also be a blessing to use a mattress cover, this works in the same way as the sofa cover and fully protects the mattress, keeping it clean and in tip top condition.
