Shipping a bed, particularly a large one over a long distance, can get complicated and pricey. Often, shipping companies might charge you upwards of $500 to transport your bed from your old place to your new one. So, it might not be worth shelling out that much cash just to ship your mattress—unless, of course, you're planning to move it along with other belongings in a moving pod. In that case, bundling everything together could make more financial sense and streamline the process.
