Mattress Shipping Cost from Los Angeles, California to Miami, Florida

Shipping a mattress typically costs $160 to over $900, depending heavily on distance, weight, size (King costs more than Twin), and speed, with standard ground services like UPS Ground or FedEx Ground being cheaper ($130-$250) than expedited options or using specialized white-glove movers, which can reach $1,000+. Expect higher costs for long distances, heavier or larger mattresses (especially King/Queen), and faster delivery, while preparing it in a mattress box and checking Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight options can save money.

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.

Shipping a 50 lb box can cost anywhere from ~$30 to over $100, depending heavily on distance, speed, and carrier, with USPS Ground Advantage and FedEx/UPS Ground offering the cheapest options (around $30-$45 short distances) for slower service, while expedited or longer-distance shipping pushes costs much higher. Using flat-rate boxes for compact items can save money, but dimensional weight (DIM) rules apply for bulky items.
