Mattress Shipping Cost from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to San Diego, California

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.

As we can see, the cheapest way to ship a mattress is with USPS Retail Ground. This service costs $150.35 and takes 2 to 9 business days. However, if you need expedited shipping service, Priority Mail Express 1-Day can deliver your parcel in no time.
