Comments Section USPS, FedEx and UPS can ship mattresses. It's just expensive. You need a heavy duty mattress shipping box plus a mattress bag. And it needs to be sealed well. It's going to be handled roughly, If the box comes apart, the mattress will likely be ruined. That would be your fault, not the shipper.

The cheapest shipping service depends on your package, but USPS is generally best for lightweight items (under 2 lbs) using services like First-Class Mail or Ground Advantage, while Pirate Ship offers discounted commercial rates for both USPS and UPS/FedEx for potentially better deals on heavier items, and Media Mail is cheapest for eligible media like books. UPS/FedEx can be competitive for heavier packages or when you need speed/reliability, but always compare rates for your specific weight, size, and destination.
