Mattress Shipping Cost from El Paso, Texas to Fresno, California

Can I ship a mattress through FedEx? Yes, you can. If you're shipping a mattress, you must pack it in a mattress shipping box. We also recommend that you pack it in heavy-duty plastic before you box and ship it.

The best way to ship a mattress involves proper packaging (mattress bag, bubble wrap, heavy box) and choosing a suitable carrier like freight (LTL) for bulky items, FedEx/UPS for standard parcels, or specialized white-glove services for premium care, balancing cost, speed, and protection for your specific mattress type and distance. For memory foam, vacuum sealing and boxing (bed-in-a-box style) is easiest, while larger/expensive ones benefit from freight or professional packing.

Shipping a 300 lb package costs a significant amount, generally ranging from under $200 to over $1,000, depending heavily on distance (local vs. interstate), carrier ( UPS / FedEx vs. freight), speed (ground vs. overnight), and using discount platforms like PirateShip, with rates potentially starting around $135-$160 for ground and increasing for faster/longer shipments. USPS can't handle items this heavy, so it's often UPS, FedEx, or LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight carriers.
