FAQs

When are the Memorial Day Furniture Sales 2024?

The Memorial Day sales is technically on the last Monday of May every year. In 2024, that happens to fall on Monday, 27th May. Many retailers, however, extend their sale periods well before and after this date, so it’s wise to keep a watch for furniture sales relating to Memorial Day all throughout May.

Is Memorial Day a good day for furniture sales?

The Memorial Day sales are a great opportunity to purchase furniture pieces for a fraction of their original price. Not only do retailers subscribing to the sale offer major markdowns, but Memorial Day also marks the beginning of summer, meaning a lot of brands use this sale as an opportunity to clear stock for the new season ahead. With extended sale periods often offered and both in-store and online opportunities, Memorial Day is a great day for sales!

What are the best times of year to buy furniture on sale?

Furniture sales often come with big markdowns, so it’s well worth your time to make a note in your diary of when the best recurring sale events happen. While the Memorial Day sales are definitely one of our favorites, some other major furniture sales are Prime Day, which takes place in mid-July, and Cyber Monday, which happen post-Thanksgiving, the Labor Day sales and the 4th of July sales. While not all exclusively furniture sales, these events throughout the year are all a great opportunity to pick up a piece you’ve been eyeing off for a discount.
