Memorial Day is just a few days away and some of the deepest discounts have already dropped. I'm seeing early access to Memorial Day deals across Amazon, Target, and Walmart, among other home retailers and specialist stores.
As the longest-serving eCommerce Editor at Homes & Gardens, I've covered Memorial Day sales for years. I know where to shop, what to buy, and how to save to make the most of everything Memorial Day has to offer. To save you time and money, we're tracking all the best Memorial Day furniture sales live.
So far, I'm most excited by the outdoor furniture deals. Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, which explains why we're seeing early discounts on everything from pizza ovens to patio furniture. As President Trump's tariffs start to take effect, this could be your last chance to bag bargains on foreign furniture and decor before prices increase, and it's a great opportunity to buy American-made.

The best early Memorial Day spotlight deals
'The Spirit 210 offers a 50% greater grilling surface than my kettle, so combined, I have enough cooking area for a family reunion,' reads one recent review. The cooking grates are cast-iron to retain heat and moisture.
As the weather warms up, I find myself reaching for the best cooling sheets, such as this breathable bamboo set from ettitude. Good news for eco-conscious shoppers: ettitude bamboo is grown with 100% rainwater and treated with non-toxic, food-grade solvents that go soft on your skin.
Outer uses FSC certified Grade A Teak to make the best outdoor furniture on the market. Unsurprisingly, it's expensive, but it's ultra-durable and naturally resistant to water, mold, mildew, and stains. You could keep this outdoor sofa set out all year without worrying about the weather, thanks to the complimentary OuterShell furniture cover.
Le Creuset makes the world's best cast iron cookware in an enviable array of colors. This shade, Chambray, is actually exclusive to Crate & Barrel. I use my Dutch oven for everything from slow-cooking meat to baking bread. That close-fitting lid retains steam to infuse your food and keep it succulent.
'You should view the Dyson V8 as an affordable but back-to-basics Dyson model,' says Home Tech Editor Dan Fauzi. 'It has no smart features, but delivers consistently strong suction across all floor types and has an easy-to-use design.'
Shop for counter stools, bar stools, or swivel seats, as suits your space. 'The white with rattan is the perfect amount of warmth and texture,' reads one recent review. 'Even better, they wipe down easily and make clean up with little ones a breeze!'
As the weather warms up, and we make the most of long, sunny days, it's important to remember to create some shady spots. This Sunbrella should do the trick: the trigger grip allows you to tilt the umbrella to 5 different angles and rotate the full 360 degrees.
These Weathertight Totes are ultra-clear, so you can easily remember what you've stored where without digging through each box. They're stackable to conserve space and moisture-proof to protect your belongings. Bonus: each tote is made in the USA, so you won't get caught out by the tariffs.
One of the best rugs can really tie a room together, and it's no different for your outdoor space. Woven in alternating strands of blue and white, this coastal rug would tone well with pale patios and porches. It's UV-resistant and power-loomed to withstand all weathers.
'Ninja makes excellent blenders, so it makes sense that the Ninja Creami is a fantastic ice cream maker,' says expert tester Laura Honey. 'It comes with a range of frozen settings, from smoothie bowls to sorbet, and it's quick to cream, but slow to ice.'
Parasols had their moment last year, but shade sails are the accessory of this season: they're sleeker, cheaper, and simpler to style. The edges are reinforced with double-layered stitching to hold their shape and the corners are fitted with D rings for easy installation.
I love decorating with stripes: it's a classic coastal aesthetic. These green-and-white striped linen cocktail napkins would make a fun final flourish for your Memorial Day tablescape, and you can throw them straight in the washing machine after you eat.
A kamado is a special kind of outdoor grill, designed to retain smoke and moisture to intensify flavor, and Kamado Joe make the best in the business. You could use yours to sear salmon steaks or roast a chicken for Caesar salads.
'Let’s face it, wood fired pizza sounds like a lot of effort,' says expert tester Helen McCue. 'But with the Ooni Fyra 12 it couldn’t be easier and I was astonished at the quality of pizza I could create with very little practice. It uses mess-free wood pellets, heats up fast and it’s portable so you can take it anywhere.'
'I sleep hot, whereas my partner sleeps cold. We've struggled to find a mattress that meets both of our needs, but we were pretty satisfied with the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid Mattress. This bed is infused with a cooling gel to dissipate heat, wick moisture, and regulate body temperature.'
FAQs
When is Memorial Day 2025?
This year, Memorial Day falls on Monday, May 26, but some of the best deals are already dropping.
Judging by previous years, I'd expect early access to open up at the start of the month, and for sales to be extended into the first week of June. That gives you plenty of time to shop the sales for summer essentials.
When do Memorial Day sales start?
The exact start date of Memorial Day sales depends on the retailer and the product category. Mattress sales are often the first to start, with up to and including 60% off at Nectar, DreamCloud, and Brooklyn Bedding.
Major appliances are next: you'll see deep discounts on white goods at Best Buy, Lowe's, Home Depot, and more.
Most of the big online retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, and Target, will wait until the week before Memorial Day to launch their official sales en masse, but you'll start seeing discounts from the start of the month.
What Memorial Day deals can we expect?
Memorial Day is the best time to buy anything for the outdoors before the start of summer: I'm talking lawnmowers, gardening tools, plus the best outdoor furniture and cooking equipment.
Beyond that, you'll see deals across all the usual product categories, ranging from furniture and decor to mattresses and home tech.
If you're hosting over Memorial Day weekend, and you want to get a head start on sprucing up your outdoor space, you should browse the best patio furniture deals.
