All the Best Early Labor Day Sales (So Far)

Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Retailers

Labor Day Weekend is just over a week away, so I’m already on the hunt for holiday savings. There aren’t a ton of deals yet — many more will likely start next week. Most of the sales you’ll find so far are on furniture from brands like Article and the Citizenry, as well as a few beauty deals of note. Otherwise, your best bet is on sleep stuff, specifically mattresses — and there are so many that our sleep writer Amelia Jerden has rounded up all the best Labor Day mattress sales.

Below, I’ve organized the deals alphabetically by merchant. It’s a real grab-bag of deals so far, but I’ll be updating our list nearly every day leading up to the long weekend, so bookmark this page and come back for more later. And if you want to stay in the loop for all my Labor Day sales coverage (including subscriber-only deals), be sure to sign up for our email newsletter.

Amazon

So far, I’ve noticed that the retailer is price-matching Labor Day sales from other brands, including Theragun’s oft-recommended massage guns.

Article

The interior-designer-approved furniture brand is offering up to 40 percent off hundreds of items — including a velvet version of our favorite Sven sofa — from now until September 2. That’s a slightly better deal than the brand offered for Memorial Day and July 4, when products were only discounted by a max of 30 percent.

Buffy

Everything at Buffy is 20 percent off. The Cloud has been one of our favorite comforters for years, and sleep writer Amelia Jerden recommends the cooling down-alternative pillows if you’re a hot sleeper.

The Citizenry

Everything at the Citizenry is 20 percent off through September. (It’s the first time I’ve seen the brand offer a sitewide sale in a long time.) My fellow writers called out some of their favorites from the sale. Strategist associate editor Jenna Milliner-Waddell says she’s been loving the brand’s new percale sheets (she’s also a fan of the stonewashed French flax linen sheets); writer Lauren Ro recommends this set of hinoki side tables; and senior writer Liza Corsillo told me she’s been eyeing this lumbar pillow.

Mattresses

Like every other major holiday, Labor Day is a good time for a great deal on mattresses. There are so many, in fact, that our sleep writer, Amelia Jerden, has rounded up all the best Labor Day mattress sales. (And you can find some of the highlights below).

Selfmade

Everything at Selfmade is 40 percent off. We especially like the brand’s safflower-oil-based lubricant formulated with arnica flower and copaiba balsam, which increase blood flow and ease any discomfort.

Solawave

Solawave’s hugely popular LED skin-care devices can help address stubborn dark spots and calm inflammation. Everything is 35 percent off with the code LABORDAY35. (That’s is an even bigger discount than last year’s sale.)
