Mattress Shipping Cost from Long Beach, California to Indianapolis, Indiana

The cheapest way to ship a mattress involves compressing it (if foam/memory foam) into a smaller box using a vacuum sealer and using USPS Ground Advantage or FedEx/UPS Ground for budget carriers, but always compare quotes, as prices vary by distance and carrier, often favoring FedEx/UPS for heavier items unless it's a short distance where USPS might win, using services like Shiply or Freight for large/heavy items if DIY fails.

The cheapest way to ship a mattress is UPS Ground, which costs ~$130 for short distances (~130 miles) and ~$210 for cross-country shipping. The fastest way to ship a mattress is UPS Next Day Air Early or FedEx First Overnight, with delivery by the next morning for $392-1,520 depending on distance.

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.
