There’s no shortage of Labor Day furniture sales and decor deals this year: Markdowns on furniture, sheet sets, and dining tables from AD-tested brands like Crate & Barrel, Article, Saatva, and Brooklinen are all in full swing. With fall around the corner, we think now’s an excellent time to find deep discounts on investment pieces like a stylish new sectional, a comfortable mattress, or something to spruce up your drab home office. It’s also worth noting that the discounts are much higher than in years past, with several retailers offering as much as 70% off best sellers. Below, we gave you a head start on the scrolling and clicking with our editor-approved list of the best early Labor Day furniture sales that are actually worth the screen time.
Our Top Picks for the Best Labor Day Furniture Deals:
The Labor Day deals are plentiful over on Amazon, especially when it comes to cookware that will come in handy for getting through all the fall recipes you’ve been accumulating throughout summer. The discount on this cordless Dyson is also surprisingly steep, and we know your space could use a deep-clean after the summer you’ve been having.
Article—a well-loved furniture brand among AD staff and readers alike—is running promotions that includes up to 40% off hundreds of rarely on-sale favorites across the site. It’s also your chance to enjoy over 60% off this outdoor rug, which you can keep stowed away in the garage for next year, or you could grab this bouclé storage bench to station at the foot of your bed and use to hide away summer beach towels and warm-weather apparel.
Another one of our most beloved brands, Brooklinen, is offering 20% off bedding-specific items and 15% off site-wide as part of their pre-Labor Day promos. Stumped on what to cop? We think this down comforter with over 2,000 five-star reviews is a solid pick before the fall chill arrives. Pair it with the brand’s heathered cashmere duvet cover for something luxuriously soft to the touch.
If you’re already purchasing new sheets, you might as well snag a new mattress to put them on. Luckily, Saatva, one of our favorite mattress brands, is hosting a limited-time Labor Day sale. We’d recommend snagging the brand’s Loom & Leaf memory foam mattress, which contributor Bailey Berg called the “most breathable, comfortable mattress” she’s ever tried.
Planning on a major home facelift? Wayfair is celebrating the weekend with up to 50% off furniture and decor in celebration of back-to-school season. There are thousands of items to sift through, but we’d pay close attention to handsome decor upgrades like this scalloped lampshade and this very discounted area rug. It should also be noted that their outdoor furniture cannot be beat.
If you’re in the mood to makeover a neglected area of your home, we found a few deals within their clearance section worth adding to cart ahead of the holiday weekend. Take the Kirsten stool with enough main character potential to make the Joneses next door green with envy: [whispers] It’s a whopping 60% off right now.
Buffy—creator of the original Cloud Comforter, and its lighter-weight sibling, the Breeze Comforter, and some of our favorite cooling sheets—is offering up to 30% off select bundles ahead of Labor Day. “It’s light, soft, breathable…everything you would ever want in a comforter that stays on your bed all year round,” contributor Sydney Gore once said in her review of the Buffy Cloud Comforter.
Spend more to save more during Castlery’s Labor Day furniture sale. Along with the retailer’s regular sale section, Shoppers will get up to $500 off the site’s stylish inventory. Those on the hunt for great couches would be wise to put that discount toward the Jonathan sectional, which commerce director Rachel Fletcher called a “dream” for napping and reading in her in-depth review. For now, this currently on-sale loveseat and dining set are more than worth your time.
Right now, customers can save up to up to 60% off furniture, lighting, decor, outdoor, and more at CB2. We’d use the opportunity to pick out some new furniture for fall—like this sturdy ash wood bookshelf that would really tie your living room together. Looking for an upgraded plant home for your greenery? This planter brings texture and a sunny pop of color to brighten up your space.
Head to Crate & Barrel, where you can save up to 60% off as part of the brand’s Labor Day sale. In our virtual cart? Items from AD-approved designer collaborations, of course. We can’t help but think that this Brigette Romanek-designed swivel chair would pair quite nicely with this burl side table from Athena Calderone’s capsule.
Lulu and Georgia’s LDW sale includes up to 25% off sitewide, but their clearance section is also stocked with lots of good deals. We recommend digging into the decor collection—whether you’re looking for something like a statement mirror to anchor your entryway, or an outdoor sofa to save for next year, you have (lots of) options.
Nordstrom’s end-of-summer sale section is also particularly well-stocked. This deeply-discounted cast iron braiser from Le Creuset—available in trendy hues like olive green and sea salt blue—would make an excellent gift for a loved one (or yourself).
Decorating your home with a Cape Cod cottage in mind? Serena & Lily can help in that department with their ongoing sales promotions, offering up to 40% off alfresco dining festivities and can’t-miss deals in their regular clearance section.
We’d be remiss not to mention the end-of-summer sale section at SSENSE, currently awash with Tekla throws, Maison Louis Marie candles, Stagg tea kettles, and more. While not technically Labor Day furniture sales (SSENSE is Canadian after all), you do not want to miss these deals.
West Elm’s Labor Day Sale is not to be missed: Furniture and home décor are up to 50% off through the long weekend. We’ve added this midcentury-modern bookshelf to our cart, as well as this scholarly leather armchair that will only look better with age.
There are a few pieces of furniture you shouldn’t skimp on and one is an office chair. Right now, score pieces from the brand that specializes in desk seating at up to 15% off using the code LABORDAY. We’ve tested a few of their models and one of our favorites is the Branch Ergonomic chair. Writer Terri Williams found the seat’s synchronous tilt and adjustable lumbar support made her sigh “ahhh” every time she sat down.
AD100 designer Mandy Cheng told us “Neighbor’s roundabout sectional is one of [her] favorites when clients want a non-white sofa (which is everyone).” For Labor Day you can snag 15% off Cheng’s pick as well as everything else from the brand (or get 20% off when you spend $6,000+). If your outdoor space isn’t sectional-friendly, we recommend checking out the Haven sofa for a similar look. Add a couple of brand’s Low chairs to create a full conversation set.
One of our favorite gifting hubs, Anthropologie, also stocks a surprisingly robust assortment of outdoor furniture and decor. The brand is even running a furniture-specific promotion of up to 40% off lots of regular-priced items. This chair and stool set can work in lots of spaces, like in your living room or on a patio next to your outdoor sofa, while the modern concrete pedestal table is perfect for streamlining an outdoor conversation set.
There are so many fabulous seats included in Sundays’ up to 30% off Labor Day sale, including the one below that’s suitable for larger backyards. If you happen to have the extra leg room, the Movie Night outdoor sectional, tested by our contributor Will Porter, is an option to keep top of mind. “It matches any design style and, thanks to a clever modular design, can be arranged in a number of ways to get the right fit in your space,” he told us.
We’d head straight to McGee & Co.’s outdoor section for deals on pieces to prep your backyard for next summer. Customers can enjoy up to 30% off sitewide as well as an additional discounts on clearence items. Standouts include the wicker Haviland coffee table, which we think is a nice departure from the aluminum and wooden designs we see in the category, as well as the Lockridge chair, a teak-framed seat with texture.
