Mattress Shipping Cost from Copenhagen to Chicago, Illinois

If speed is your priority, then you should absolutely ship by air. Air freight only takes 2-8 days to complete a shipment from Denmark to the US, making it highly suitable for time-sensitive and perishable cargo.

Shipping a bed set costs anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars ($300-$3,000+) depending on size, weight, distance, and service, with estimates ranging from $0.70 to $2.50 per mile for frames, or $600-$1,500+ for a full room set via LTL freight, but you can save by disassembling and using peer-to-peer services or specific carriers for potentially lower rates, especially for just a mattress.

Shipping from Europe to the US varies widely, from 1-3 days for express air freight to 2-4 weeks (or more) for standard/economy services, with ocean freight taking around 13-14 days for the sea leg plus processing, depending heavily on the speed chosen, carrier (DHL, FedEx, UPS, USPS), customs, and package size. Express services are fast but costly; economy options take longer but save money, with customs clearance being a key variable.
