Mattress Shipping Cost from Nairobi to Jeddah

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.

Air cargo prices per kg vary widely, typically from $1.50 to over $10+ per kg, depending heavily on route (e.g., dense lanes cheaper), cargo value/urgency, weight/volume (heavier = lower rate), fuel costs, seasonality, and global events, with general ranges around $4-$8/kg recently but sometimes hitting $20/kg during peak disruptions like the pandemic, notes Freight Right, Agora Freight, Bookairfreight, WebCargo® | Real-Time Air Cargo Booking & Pricing, and The Intech Group.

Shipping a king-size mattress costs roughly $300 to $900+, depending heavily on distance, chosen carrier (USPS, FedEx, UPS), speed (ground vs. expedited), weight, dimensions, and whether you use standard freight or specialized services, with cross-country trips often falling in the $400-$800 range. Shorter distances or slower ground services are cheaper (around $150-$300), while expedited or less common carriers can push costs much higher.
