A furniture slide for placement between an object to be moved and the flooring over which it is to be moved. The slide is formed of an elongate sheet of flexible material having opposing ends and side walls joining said opposing ends when viewed in plan. The sheet has opposing faces when viewed in side with one of the faces for abutting support and sliding contact with a floor surface and the other face having a compressible material fixed thereon for an abutting support contact with an object to be moved. A hole and grommet are formed on one or both ends of the sheet of material for applying force for movement of the slide. Preferably, the ends of the slide are substantially arcuate in configuration from side wall to side wall. The sheet of material preferably comprises a plastic material, preferably high density polyethylene material, and said compressible material comprises a rubber material. The invention further discloses a method of moving furniture which comprises placing a sheet of material having a reduced friction surface and a friction engaging surface between a portion of the furniture to be moved and the floor over which it will be moved, with the frictional surface engaging the furniture and the reduced friction surface engaging the floor. A second sheet of the same material is then placed under a second portion of the furniture. Force is then applied to the sheet of material to move the furniture.
