I just helped my friend move her furniture and surprisingly these straps work great. We tried to move 2 sofas and a mattress from the 4th floor to the first floor. If it can be designed for one person that would be great, but I doubt it's practical since two people can reduce the weight of the furniture. It's also easy to use and matches most of our furniture. It is recommended to use these straps if you are moving or redistributing a lot.
