Mattress Shipping Cost from Meriden, Connecticut to New York, New York

To ship a mattress out of state, package it in a heavy-duty mattress bag, use a specialized box or wrap, compress it with a vacuum bag if possible, and ship via freight, specialized furniture shippers (like uShip, Shiply), or standard carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx), though expect high costs and compare quotes for the best price/service. Consider if selling/replacing might be cheaper than shipping, especially for older mattresses.

To send a mattress, first vacuum seal it, and then securely roll or fold it in its protective packaging or a durable mattress bag. Choose a reputable courier familiar with handling large parcel deliveries.

Mattresses are shipped in two main ways: as a compressed "bed-in-a-box" (memory foam, hybrid) rolled and sealed in plastic for standard carriers like FedEx or UPS, source=Easyship, or as full-size units (often traditional innerspring) shipped via freight with white-glove delivery, offering setup and old mattress removal. The box method uses powerful machinery to vacuum-compress and roll the mattress, making it fit into a manageable box for direct-to-door delivery, while freight shipping handles bulkier, uncompressed items.
