Every Labor Day weekend, there are an abundance of end-of-summer deals on mattresses and bedding, furniture and seasonal summer items like outdoor decor. To sum it up succinctly: if you need it for your home, there’s a good chance that it is on sale during late August or early September.

The Best Labor Day Furniture Sales of 2022
What items typically have the best Labor Day deals?
“Labor Day is a great time to save on most categories from clothing to home, but this is an especially good time for steep discounts on big ticket items including large appliances and mattresses,” said Jessica Teich, Deputy Editor at the Good Housekeeping Institute. “Labor Day weekend is also the best time to snap up end-of-season savings on summer staples, like patio furniture, grills and other outdoor essentials, when retailers are looking to clear out inventory in time for fall.”
When should shoppers start looking for Labor Day sales?
“While the steepest savings will likely happen the week leading up to Labor Day, some retailers started holding end-of-summer sales as early as August 1,” said Teich. “Expect to see the biggest discounts beginning September 1 and through September 5, 2022.”
Is Labor Day a good time to buy furniture?
“Yes! This is a great time to deck out your patio for next year’s season, since these seasonal items are typically more expensive in the spring,” says Teich. “Look out for savings from Wayfair, Lowe’s and beyond.”
Is Labor Day a good time to buy appliances?
“Labor Day tends to be a good time to buy large appliances in particular as stores wrap up the end of summer season and start making room for holiday inventory,” says Nicole Papantoniou, Director of the Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab at the Good Housekeeping Institute.
