The Only Memorial Day Sales Worth Shopping Before Prime Day
Summer’s almost here, and I hope you’ve been enjoying the long weekend. Before you get back to reality, though, why not put your feet up and check out this extensive roundup of the best Memorial Day sales?
While hardly the last sale of the summer season, this is the perfect time to get ready for better weather with new deals on outdoor patio furniture, restock on summer fashion brands like Andie, and maybe check out the Solo Stove firepit to enjoy those summer nights in style.
Don’t forget mattresses, as this is one of the best times of the year, before Black Friday, to save hundreds on some of our top-tested beds from the likes of Saatva and Sleep Number.
Yes, Prime Day is also hurtling toward us in June, but given that those deals will be limited to Amazon and to paying Prime members, no less, I think the sales and individual deal highlights below are worth a look today.
My favorite Memorial Day deals
Saatva Classic Mattress (Queen)
The Saatva Classic Mattress is designed to suit a variety of sleeping styles and features a plush top for luxurious comfort. Its patented lumbar zone technology helps support proper spine alignment.
Vuori Restore Half Zip Hoodie
Vuori’s workout apparel is soft, cozy, and cute. This half-zip hoodie is perfect for pilates, lifting, or just running errands.
Tikom V500 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
For under $100, the Tikom V500 impressed with the highest rated suction power I’ve found, battery life that matches advertising claims, and convenient LED lights to help spot debris.
Sleep Number i8 Smart Bed (Queen)
If you and your partner just can’t agree on mattress firmness, the Sleep Number i8 Smart Bed allows you to customize each side to your perfect firmness. The bed automatically adjusts based on your body’s position.
Silk & Snow Wooden Bed Frame
The Silk & Snow Wooden Bed Frame is a reasonably priced, sustainable wood frame available with several headboard options. It also doesn’t require any tools or screws for assembly.
Memorial Day sales roundup
Outdoor furniture
Jill Waldbieser/Business Insider
With cool summer nights and warm sunny days ahead, outdoor furniture is in high demand. The best brands aren’t cheap, but for Memorial Day, you can save hundreds on our top picks just in time for nights around the fire pit.
Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 Fire Pit
The Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 is the best fire pit we’ve tested because its design facilitates blazing fires with minimal smoke. Plus, it’s available in seven colors.
Ninja Fireside360 Outdoor Heater & Fire Pit
The Ninja Fireside360 is a propane fire pit and heater with multiple settings that let you adjust heat output and choose between flames for warmth or ambiance, if you don’t want the extra heat. It’s entirely smokeless, and there’s no annoying clean-up or fire starting.
Solo Stove Tower Patio Heater
Unlike most patio heaters, this one burns wood pellets instead of propane fuel. The Tower Patio Heater is a sturdy and powerful option that can heat a large area and offers the cozy ambiance of a wood-burning fire.
Patiowell 70 Gallons Storage Bench
Extra storage for outdoor cushions, gardening supplies, and pool gear is always nice to have, but sometimes it’s an eyesore or creates unusable space that could be used for entertaining. This resin bench offers 70 gallons of storage, is weather-resistant, can be locked, and is an inviting place for extra seating.
Indoor furniture
Jaclyn Turner/Business Insider
Good furniture isn’t usually cheap, so an event like Memorial Day is the perfect time to invest in pieces you’ll love with sweet discounts. Premium brands and budget finds are all on sale now, so don’t miss out on your next couch or standing desk upgrade.
Flexispot E2 Standing Desk
The no-frills Flexispot E2 Standing Desk moves quickly, smoothly, and quietly to reach your desired height. It’s an affordable option for people who need a basic standing desk.
Flexispot EN1 Standing Desk
The Flexispot EN1 is the Amazon-exclusive offering of our best budget standing desk, but it lacks built-in cable management.
Lovsac Three-Seat Sactional Couch
Lovesac’s Sactional couches are as adaptable as they are comfortable. They’re available in a range of configurations, colors, and fabrics, and you can add new sections or covers whenever you want.
Joybird Wilder Sleeper Sectional
The oversized Wilder Sleeper Sectional is comfortable from day to night. It features a classic pull-out design and a Tempur-foam mattress.
Silk & Snow Wooden Bed Frame
The Silk & Snow Wooden Bed Frame is a reasonably priced, sustainable wood frame available with several headboard options. It also doesn’t require any tools or screws for assembly.
Tech
John Higgins/Business Insider
“What kind of tech is on sale for Memorial Day?” you might be wondering. As someone who tracks deals every season, I can tell you it’s the usual suspects, at their typical best prices. Apple devices, TVs, and subscription services are dropping prices for the holiday, just in time to snag a graduation gift or Father’s Day treat.
Apple AirPods Pro 3
The AirPods Pro 3 offer improved noise cancellation, a built-in heart rate sensor for workouts, and support for Apple’s new Live Translation feature. Though the earbuds’ revised shape could be an issue for some ears, these are Apple’s most impressive AirPods so far.
Apple AirPods (4th Gen)
Apple’s latest generation of AirPods features a new design to optimize comfort for wearers of every kind. It’s powered by the H2 chip and uses a smaller case than ever.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones
The WH-1000XM5 are one of Sony’s top over-ear headphones. They boast excellent noise-canceling performance along with great audio quality and a truckload of convenient features.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)
The second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds deliver the best ANC performance we’ve encountered in a pair of in-ear headphones. But while they offer a few welcome tweaks over the previous-generation model, overall performance is very similar.
Apple iPad (A16, 2025)
The 11th-generation iPad largely mirrors the 10th-generation iPad from 2022, apart from its upgraded A16 chip and increased storage. It lacks Apple Intelligence, but it’s the cheapest option in the brand’s lineup and more than enough for most users.
Apple Macbook Air 13-inch M5 (2026)
The MacBook Air with the M5 chip keeps everything fast and effortless, whether you’re juggling work tabs, editing photos, or streaming on the couch.
Samsung 65-inch S90F OLED 4K TV
The S90F is an impressive midrange OLED and one of our favorite displays. It gets a bit brighter than the older S90D and offers better color volume than similar LG OLED models.
Samsung 65-inch Frame TV (LS03F)
Samsung’s Frame TV is designed to look like a piece of art on your wall thanks to its flush mount, matte screen, and magnetic frame bezels. Its image quality is mediocre, but its style makes it a great pick for design-focused buyers.
Fitbit Charge 6
The Charge 6 boasts a more expansive feature set than the budget-friendly Inspire 3, catering to both fitness amateurs and enthusiasts. While it’s a pricier option, it’s still an amazing value for such a capable fitness tracker.
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 Smart Glasses
The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers blend the brand’s iconic frame with built-in AI features, so you can snap photos, listen to music, and take calls without pulling out your phone. Lightweight and easy to wear all day, they feel like classic sunglasses with a surprisingly futuristic edge.
LC Dolida Sleep Headphones
LC Dolida offers the comfort of a sleep mask with the convenience of built-in speakers, all for under $30.
NordVPN Basic 2-year plan ($3.09 p/m)
NordVPN is one of the top VPN services in the business. It offers excellent value with a strong selection of features and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs. This VPN deal drops the per-month price as low as $3.09 on a two-year plan and throws in an extra three months.
Proton VPN 2-year plan ($2.99 p/m)
Looking for an alternative VPN still packed with useful features and servers in over 120 countries? Then Proton VPN is well worth a look, and it has a sizable discount on its two-year plan. If you’d prefer a shorter-term deal, the one-year plan is great value too and only costs $3.99 a month with the current 60% discount. Both plans can be used across 10 devices at once and feature a great ad-blocker, split tunneling, and more security-conscious features.
Clothing
Samantha Crozier; Gabi Chase/Business Insider
The seasons are changing — away go the winter coats, and out come the swimsuits, breathable tees, and shorts. Luckily, several of our top recommended apparel and travel brands are welcoming the warmer weather with major sales on styles we’ve tested and love.
Parachute Classic Turkish Cotton Robe
Reminiscent of shearling or fur, plush bathrobes are among the most luxuriant of an already sumptuous clothing category. Silk might be softer, but plush robes are cozier and the Parachute’s Classic Turkish Cotton Robe won in this category.
Vuori Restore Half Zip Hoodie
Vuori’s workout apparel is soft, cozy, and cute. This half-zip hoodie is perfect for pilates, lifting, or just running errands.
Andie The Maui Top
If you love beach volleyball and water sports, this is the top for you. The Maui combines the ease of a crop top and the comfort of a sports bra. Longline and secure, it’s the simple solution to your swim needs.
Tommy John Cool Cotton Boxer Brief
Designed to be moisture-wicking, breathable, and two to three times cooler than regular Cotton, the Cool Cotton Boxer Brief is super comfortable.
Naturalizer Joy Dress Sandal
These sandals get our hard-won most comfortable heel overall award because of their brilliantly contoured footbed (seriously, you have to try it to believe it), straps that won’t give you blisters, and huge variety of colors.
Sojos Retro Oval Sunglasses
These sunglasses are everywhere. We’ve spotted them on Love Island, on influencers, and all over New York City. What makes them so popular is their unanimously flattering shape and gold edges that make them look like they cost way more than they do.
Mattresses & bedding
Sarah Saril/Business Insider

If you and your partner just can’t agree on mattress firmness, the Sleep Number i8 Smart Bed allows you to customize each side to your perfect firmness. The bed automatically adjusts based on your body’s position.

The Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow offers thoughtful features like adjustable fill, a washable pillow cover, and an unparalleled 100-night trial, making it the best choice for most people.
Coop Sleep Goods AirJustable Travel Neck Pillow

It’s perfect for those who want more than an entry-level machine but aren’t ready to commit to a more expensive device yet.
Chefman 4 Quart Compact Airfryer
The Chefman 4-Quart Air Fryer is small but mighty, and the best small air fryer we tested. The window lets you keep an eye on your food during cooking, so you don’t need to keep opening it as often and losing heat.

Vertuo Pop is the smallest, most stylish Nespresso ever. You can brew five sizes of coffee — hot or with ice — without sacrificing precious counter space.

Memorial Day sales and deals: Frequently asked questions
When is Memorial Day 2026?
Memorial Day 2026 lands on Monday, May 25. For many, this means a blissful three-day weekend from work or school.
When do Memorial Day sales end?
It’s difficult to say exactly when all sales will end. As a rule of thumb, I always advise shopping before Memorial Day itself, since few retailers promise to continue discounts beyond then.
A select few stores (mainly mattress and furniture brands) will continue their promotions through early this week, so late readers may still have a chance to score a price cut.
What about Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon announced its annual Prime Day will be returning in June, but has yet to specify exact dates.
If you’re wondering whether it’s worth waiting until then to shop, your instinct isn’t entirely wrong. It’s true: many items will be down to all-time lows for the event, marking huge savings on vacuums, Apple tech, beauty products, and more.
However, Amazon Prime Day is exclusive only to that single retailer. Because of that, you can’t find smaller businesses, DTC mattress brands, or exclusive style companies on sale for the event. Memorial Day is still an excellent chance to save big from stores across the board, so I recommend jumping on these deals while you can.
