FAQ – Shipping a mattress

How to ship a double or large mattress from home with a courier?

To ship a double or large mattress from home, it's important to choose a reliable shipping service with home pickup, such as europacco.com. Once the mattress is properly packed (see below), you simply fill out the online form with pickup and delivery addresses. Europacco arranges pickup directly at the indicated address, even for international shipments. Most double mattresses measure around 160×200 cm and can be shipped rolled or on a pallet, depending on the final size. For oversized dimensions, a personalized quote can be requested.

How much does it cost to ship a mattress within Italy or abroad?

The cost of shipping a mattress depends on various factors such as weight, final size of the package and destination – domestic or international. With europacco.com, the price always includes home pickup, tracking, and optional insurance. To get an up-to-date quote, simply enter the package details in the online form. Rolled, compressed, or shrink-wrapped mattresses can be shipped if within size limits. For oversized or multiple shipments, we recommend requesting a custom quote by email.

How to properly pack a mattress (even rolled or without the original box)?

For safe transport, it's essential to protect the mattress properly. If the original box is not available, you can roll it (especially memory foam models), secure it with straps, and wrap it in strong protective plastic. Alternatively, you can use a thick plastic bag or waterproof cover. For mattresses that can't be rolled, using a pallet is recommended. The shipping label received from europacco.com must be applied clearly. Proper packaging reduces the risk of damage and facilitates courier pickup.

What to do if the mattress exceeds the allowed shipping size?

If the mattress exceeds the standard dimensions allowed in the online form, it is still possible to organize the shipment via custom request. Just send an email with the exact measurements, pickup and delivery location to receive a tailored offer. In many cases, a double mattress can be rolled to reduce the volume, but if this is not possible, pallet transport is a good alternative. Europacco works with specialized couriers to safely and efficiently manage bulky goods.

Is it possible to ship a used or memory foam mattress without damaging it?

Yes, it is possible to ship a used or memory foam mattress safely, provided it is properly packed. Memory foam mattresses can often be rolled to reduce volume, but should only be compressed if the material allows it. It's essential to protect them with thick plastic wrap or waterproof bags to prevent damage from moisture or impact. Even for used mattresses, pre-cleaning is advisable. Europacco.com includes home pickup and offers optional insurance for added peace of mind.

What documents are needed to ship a mattress outside the European Union?

To ship a mattress to destinations outside the EU, a correctly filled customs declaration is required. Typically, you need: detailed item description, declared value, sender and recipient data. In some cases, including an invoice or receipt (even for used goods) may be useful. Europacco.com provides clear guidance in the online form and support in case of doubt. Complete documentation avoids delays at customs and facilitates clearance, especially for Switzerland, UK, USA, or other non-EU countries.

How does mattress pickup work and what if the courier cannot collect it?

With europacco.com, you choose the pickup date in the online form. The courier comes to the indicated address and collects the already packed mattress. If no one is present, the address is incorrect or the packaging is inadequate, the pickup fails. In this case, it can be rescheduled, but extra charges may apply. Timely preparation = hassle-free shipping.
