Mattress Shipping Cost from St. Louis, Missouri to Washington, District of Columbia

Shipping a mattress is more complex and expensive than standard deliveries. Whether you're moving, selling mattresses online, or buying from a retailer, you're looking at costs ranging from $130-280 for ground shipping across the U.S., with premium services reaching $1,500+ for cross-country delivery.

Shipping a 50 lb box typically costs $75 to over $100, depending on distance, speed, and carrier, with FedEx Ground or UPS Ground often cheapest for longer distances ($70-$90+) and USPS Ground Advantage competitive for shorter hauls or regional delivery ($40-$70), though heavy surcharges apply for UPS/FedEx over 50 lbs. For speed, services like FedEx Express or USPS Priority Mail Express are much more expensive, potentially over $100-$200.

USPS is a cost-effective way to ship most items, including a mattress. However, you'll pay a $100 fee if your mattress weighs more than 70 pounds and exceeds 108” in length. Contact USPS directly to get your specific quote on your oversized package.
