Affordable Bed and Mattress Delivery Service Across Australia

Apr 21, 2025

In Australia, bed and mattress delivery is a growing big and bulky service thanks to the rise of mattress purchases. In 2023, the nation’s mattress market was valued at approximately USD 740 million

The market is expected to reach USD 962 million by 2032 as more people recognise the health benefits of quality sleep. As a result, Aussies are looking for better sleep solutions.

Mattresses come in various types and sizes to cater to different comfort preferences. Given their size and the need for careful handling, transporting beds and mattresses requires expertise and appropriate logistics solutions.

Understanding the ins and outs of bed and mattress delivery can guarantee a smooth and efficient experience, whether you're running a retail store, managing an online furniture business, or moving to a new home.

Why Bed and Mattress Delivery Requires Specialised Services

Bed and mattress delivery is not the same as delivering regular parcels. These items are large, heavy, and often awkward to handle. As such, they will need extra care during transport to avoid damage.

Mattresses come in different types, each with unique handling needs. Foam mattresses are flexible but can be bulky. Spring mattresses are heavier and must be kept flat because of their structure. Hybrid mattresses combine foam and spring layers and often require extra protection.

The same goes for bed frames. King and queen beds are large and can be difficult to move through tight spaces. Double and single beds are easier to manage but still need careful packing and handling.

Because of their size and shape, beds and mattresses can’t be stacked or stored like smaller packages. This means the vehicle used must be large enough and fitted with the right equipment. Delivery teams also need experience to navigate stairwells, lifts, and narrow hallways.

A specialised bed and mattress delivery service makes sure that items arrive safely and on time. It reduces the risk of damage and makes the whole process smoother for both senders and receivers.

How to Prepare for Bed and Mattress Delivery

Good preparation helps big and bulky shipping companies deliver your beds and mattresses on time and in perfect condition:

For Individuals:

  • Start by removing all bedding from the mattress. If the bed frame needs to be dismantled, do so ahead of time. This will make the pickup quicker and easier.
  • Wrap the mattress in a plastic cover or protective bag. This will protect it from dust, dirt, and possible damage during transit. You can purchase mattress bags from most hardware or packaging stores.
  • Make sure the delivery team has clear access. Remove obstacles from hallways, doorways, and entry points. If you live in an apartment or have stairs, inform the delivery team in advance.

For Businesses:

  • Package all items securely. Use protective wrapping and stable pallets if sending in bulk. Label the packages clearly with delivery addresses and contact numbers.
  • When scheduling a bed and mattress delivery, provide the correct details to your chosen shipping company. Double-check the delivery address and include any access instructions. This helps avoid delays.
  • Businesses should also plan for staff to assist with loading if needed. This is especially useful for larger shipments or regular deliveries.

Understanding Delivery Timeframes

Bed and mattress delivery often depends on the size of the item and the location of the pickup and drop-off points. 

For metro areas, same-day delivery is often available. This option is ideal for urgent moves or last-minute purchases. Bookings typically need to be made early in the day to access same-day service. Most providers have a cut-off time in the morning, such as 10 am.

Next-day delivery is a more common option and works well for both city and regional locations. It allows for more flexibility in planning and is often more cost-effective than same-day options. Many services offer next-day bed and mattress delivery for orders placed in the afternoon.

Some providers also offer scheduled time slots for delivery. This can be helpful for customers who need to coordinate access to a building or want to avoid long waiting windows. When booking, check available delivery times and confirm whether tracking updates are included.

If you know when the bed or mattress will be delivered, you can make arrangements to have someone available to accept it. It also helps prevent delays and missed appointments. Clear communication and planning can make the process smoother for everyone involved.

Reliable and Affordable Bed and Mattress Delivery

Delivering beds and mattresses shouldn’t be a hassle. These items are bulky, valuable, and often needed urgently. So choosing the right delivery service matters. 

Whether you’re setting up a new home or running a furniture business, having access to affordable and efficient delivery makes a real difference. Look for a service that offers flexible scheduling, national coverage, and a simple booking process.

With the right support, bed and mattress delivery can be stress-free, fast, and cost-effective.
