Mattress Shipping Cost from San Diego, California to Atlanta, Georgia

The cheapest way to ship a mattress usually involves compressing it into a box using a vacuum bag, then comparing rates for ground shipping with USPS Ground Advantage, FedEx Ground, or UPS Ground, often finding LTL freight or dedicated mattress shippers cheaper for very large/heavy items, while platforms like Shiply or uShip can offer significant savings by connecting you with transporters. Always compare quotes from multiple carriers and consider if your mattress can be rolled and boxed for standard parcel rates, which is key for budget shipping.

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.
