Labor Day sales 2021: Mattresses
Nectar Memory Foam mattress: from $798 $499 + $399 of free gifts at Nectar
Editor’s choice – This popular 12-inch, all-foam, medium-firm mattress has a new cooling cover to stop you overheating at night. We found it extremely comfortable and supportive when we slept on it, and while this discount isn’t new for the Labor Day mattress sales, it is phenomenal value, with $400 off, plus $399-worth of free sleep accessories. However, we’ve seen the queen size drop to $799 before (it’s currently $899) and think the price may fall again closer to Labor Day – so if you can wait, you might get it slightly cheaper.
View Deal
Helix Midnight hybrid mattress: from $699 $599 + two free pillows at Helix
Save up to $150 – Helix specializes in mattresses for side sleepers, and there’s currently up to $150 off its most popular option, the Helix Midnight. This medium-firm hybrid mattress uses foam layers to cushion your shoulders and hips, and support your contours, while a layer of wrapped coils adds extra support and reduces motion transfer, so you’re less likely to notice a restless partner. It sleeps cool, too. With a twin down to $599 and a queen sitting at $999 (was $1,099) – plus two free pillows – this Labor Day mattress sale is worth a look.View Deal
Nolah Evolution 15: from $1,799 $1,099 + 2 free pillows at Nolah

There’s currently up to a $700 discount on the Evolution 15 in the company’s Labor Day mattress sale, which drops the price of a queen from $2,299 to just $1,599 – plus all sizes comes with two free pillows worth $198.

Save up to $109.05 – There’s 10% off the T&N Original mattress in the company’s Labor Day sale.

Labor Day sales 2021: FAQ
When do Labor Day sales start?
Right now! Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, and other leading retailers have already launched their promotions – all of which you can view on this page.
Even though Labor Day falls on September 6th this year, many retailers have already launched their promotions ahead of time. Don’t worry though, you haven’t missed a thing – this year’s Labor Day sales are still warming up and there are still hundreds of deals to check out.
Who has the best Labor Day sale?
Amazon: number one for cheap electronics, though sells everything
Best Buy: cheap 4K TVs, plus excellent savings on all types of laptops
Walmart: especially good for cheaper laptops and budget Chromebooks
Home Depot: bundle savings on appliances, plus patio furniture, grills
Lowes: excellent for power tools, lawnmowers, lighting, and appliances
Overstock: huge inventories of clearance furniture, bed & bath, patio items
Nectar: often bundles in accessories worth up to $400 with mattresses
Purple: free gifts, plus seasonal savings on premium mattresses
Saatva: bundle savings when you spend over an amount on a mattress
Competition is going to be stiff across the board, but the best retailer for you is going to depend heavily on what’s featured on your Labor Day shopping list. For appliances, furniture, grills, or other ‘end of summer’ items’, then you’ll definitely want to check out Home Depot, Lowes, or Overstock. These retailers have inventories of literally thousands of home and garden items, so they should be your first stop.
If you’re looking for electronics in general then Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy are likely to have the biggest sales this year. Amazon’s particularly good for headphones and Apple products, while Walmart and Best Buy are fantastic for cheap 4K TVs and entry-level laptops. Speaking of laptops, both Dell and HP should have awesome own-brand sales across their sites over Labor Day too, which will be particularly good if you’re spending a bit more.
Lastly, if you’re looking for mattress deals over Labor Day, then Nectar, Sealy, Saatva, and Purple to all have excellent promotions running at their respective sites.
Does Amazon do Labor Day sales?
Yes and no. It’s unlikely that Amazon will run its own event that’s specifically labeled a ‘Labor Day sale’, but it is likely it’ll be participating in some form or another. It’s a big day for online shopping in general so you can expect Amazon will be offering up plenty of price cuts – especially if rival retailers like Best Buy or Walmart are running big events on the day. Put simply, if you’re looking for cheap laptops, TVs, headphones, or anything electronic then you should have plenty to check out at Amazon on Labor Day. We’ll also be including Amazon’s best deals on this page when the time comes.
What items get discounted for the Labor Day sales?
The Labor Day Sales traditionally cover things like appliances, both outdoor and indoor furniture, and home items in general. You’ll also find awesome sales on things like mattresses as well as end-of-summer items like BBQ grills. As you’d expect, it’s also a great time to pick up clearance patio furniture for next year at places like Lowes and Home Depot – which normally have free delivery too.
As with any online shopping event, the Labor Day sales will also have a ton of cheap tech deals to check out too. We expect retailers like Best Buy and Walmart to come out the gates with some really cheap laptops and 4K TV deals – which are always favorites for our readers in particular. We should also see discounted headphones and smart hubs too – especially if Amazon joins in as sales on its own devices are pretty much a given on any sales event.
Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy and Amazon tend to have the widest selection of deals in the Labor Day sales covering pretty much all the bases. Last year we did see quite a few more specialized retailers like Dell, Lenovo, and HP join in too, which were particularly good for laptop deals. If you’d like to see a full run down of last year’s top Labor Day sales, we’ve preserved some just below.
How did Labor Day start?
Labor Day itself started as a way to celebrate the efforts and contributions of the American Labor movement and everyday workers, from its inception in 1894 all the way to the present day. In recent years, like many federal holidays, it’s been used as an opportunity by many retailers to offer big discounts on a whole array of items. Subsequently, it’s often regarded as the best time for shopping in between the earlier Memorial Day sales and the Black Friday sales in November.
When do the Labor Day sales end?
Most of the primo Labor Day sales tend to end on the midnight running into Tuesday September 7, however, we’ll probably see things gradually wind down throughout the week. In some rare instances, such a Home Depot’s Labor Day appliances sale we may even see a longer sales period – up until September 16 in last year’s case.
In 2020, the Labor Day sales started about a week before the actual date, although most of the top-dollar deals launched over the prior weekend and of course Labor Day itself. In general, those shopping for appliances tend to have more time to consider their purchases, while shoppers looking for cheap tech like laptops, TVs, and tablets have a shorter purchase window overall.
