How Much Does It Cost To Ship Mattress

Typically, local moves cost $2,250 to $4,500.

Long-distance moves cost between $4,000 and $10,500.

To ship across the country, you can either:

1. Rent a truck and move it yourself (or hire someone to do it for you).
2. Hire professional movers (costs as much as a new mattress).
3. Consider consolidated freight options called "LTL shipping" (it allows you to share space on a truck with other cargo).

Shipping your mattress, whether locally or across the country, is generally not a good idea.

Often costs more than half the price of a new mattress.

Also, your mattress may be damaged during transit.

Donate it to people in need near you and avoid all these problems. Then replace it.

Avoid shipping your mattress.

It is almost always better to buy a new mattress unless your current mattress costs $3k+ (even then, it is unlikely to be worth the hassle and overall cost).

Buy a new premium hotel-quality mattress and donate your old mattress.

The Saatva Classic is a great example of a premium spring hybrid design that will last 10-15 years. It is extremely comfortable.

Alternatively, you can try the following options for a lower cost:

It depends entirely on the companies in your area.

Here are several options for mattress shipping that you can use:

• Type "local (or long) distance mattress movers" into Google and sort by rating.
• Pay a friend or family member to drive your Uhaul (much cheaper than hiring a professional).
• Use LTL shipping if you're moving long distances.
• Drive yourself (probably not a good idea unless it's local). You have a lot on your plate already. Don't waste your time.
