No need.. the form is for unaccompanied articles.. and it isn't valid until they receive a copy of your I-94. So your articles can't go ahead of you, something that you need to discuss with your moving company...

I moved my stuff separately with ABF Upack and they didn't ask for a copy of my I-94 (I crossed a few days before my belongings did). My stuff made it here just fine and they never called to tell me there was any problems. A fluke? Did someone there screw up and not tell me I needed to send them a copy of my I-94? I had given them photocopies of my K3, my birth certificate and my passport biographical page.

Yes.. they screwed up... the goods aren't allowed into the US until you arrive since the purpose for their duty free entry is to accompany or follow you. The I-94 provides proof that your goods are definitely following your entry..

and I have also never heard of any problems bringing a mattress from Canada. However, it is a problem with pests and bugs that could hide in it from some other places like China for instance (USDA APHIS would enforce this, not CBP), but pretty sure Canada isn't one of them...

.......and you have no bedbugs.......that could get ugly

True. Bedbugs are the worst I've heard. A friend of mine was living in a bedbug infested building. Apparently it's becoming a problem in certain areas of Toronto especially buildings around University of Toronto.

When we were packing my stuff I was half tempted to just leave the mattress because we were so tired from packing and running around. But the mattress was fairly new (bought last year) and expensive! Thankfully I brought it since our futon couch isn't very comfortable. The mattress was the only "furniture" I brought with me.
