Waiting for Black Friday furniture sales is often easier said than done, especially when choosing the perfect piece can feel like a drawn-out process. Is it the right style? Will it fit? Will it last? And, of course, there’s the price to consider. But this year? There are already some of the best furniture deals to be had — right now!
How did I know? While I don’t have spidey senses, I am an interiors editor, and my job is to not only know the best furniture but also the best time to shop it. There’s always a furniture deal around the corner. So if there’s something that’s been sitting on your wishlist — maybe a sofa bed for the spare room or that accent chair you’ve been eyeing — holding out for a sale can really pay off.
When it comes to home deals, we all know speed is key. To help you navigate the chaos, I’ve rounded up shortcuts to the best furniture deals, flagged the top times of the year to shop, and highlighted a few discounted pieces that are already on my radar.

On-Sale Accent Chairs
Cutting a very similar silhouette to Swiss architect Pierre Jeanneret's now iconic rattan chair, this beauty from Rejuvenation boasts a frame made of durable American hardwood — solid walnut, to be exact. It would work particularly well in a more minimalist setting, or perhaps somewhere a bulkier-style armchair might not be able to squeeze. The good news is, if you love the look, it also comes in a black ash finish. But hurry, both these styles are almost sold out!
Can you beat a bouclé accent chair? I love the way this one from Joss & Martin blends a more traditional wingback style with the trending fabric. I can see it working in almost any interior and you could easily switch out the lumbar cushion (which comes with the chair) for something that matches the rest of your space to create a more cohesive look.
Designed with Chip & Joanna Gaines, this accent chair's light rubberwood frame will ensure it doesn't weigh down or look too bulky in your space, while it's khaki canvas covered cushions look super comfortable and are a subtle way to add color while still remaining neutral. Just a reminder that some assembly is required, but according to reviews, the process is straightforward and the result is far more durable than anticipated.
On-Sale Sleeper Beds
All too often, the problem with sofa beds is that they aren't as comfortable as a sofa or a bed. As someone with a lot of opinions on them — I once spent two weeks straight on a friend's sofa bed during a trip to New York — I much prefer this reclining style to the more traditional fold-out design. And with close to 6,000 reviews and rated 4.3/5 stars, it seems a lot of people agree with me. Available in five colors, my personal pick is the Navy in Performance Linen (which is actually a 100% Polyester 'linen-look' fabric) as it'll be hard-wearing and disguise any scuffs and stains.
With its plush, legless design, this 'sleeper' sofa is giving me groovy but in a good way. Very reminiscent of the Togo sofa, it feels at the same time minimal while making quite the statement. It's also available in a zesty Orange, Indigo, and Black, as well as in light brown recycled leather. It easily snaps back into a fully reclined position and reviewers are quick to comment on how good it looks in real life. Throw on a few pillows for styling, or drape a throw over one end and you've got yourself a classically cool piece you may even want to put in the main living area.
This convertible sofa from Wayfair appears to prove me wrong with one reviewer claiming it's comfortable as both a sofa and a bed. I should have known (it's made by Serta!). It also comes in charcoal and navy colorways, though I'm drawn to the black for a slightly more dramatic look. It's also a more durable color that will be able to withstand wear and tear for longer.
On-Sale Coffee Tables
When it comes to living rooms, I tend to opt for round coffee tables as I find they allow for the best flow in a space that can often be on the smaller or more cramped-side of things. The Amazon listing for this particular style may call it 'industrial' but I would call it 'classic', and can see it working in a range of interiors. The shelf is the perfect place for storing your stacks of magazines or small boxes hiding away things like remotes, so you can keep the top clean and clutter-free.
With definite mid-century modern influence, this kidney-shaped coffee table has been crafted from engineered timber and features four flared legs, meaning not only does it look good, but it will make for a durable addition to your living room space. I particularly love the grain on the wood, highlighted by the dark stain, and based on the more than 2000 reviews that give this piece an average of 4.5 stars out of 5, it sounds like a lot of other people do too.
Love the look of marble coffee tables but not how much they cost! This coffee table could be exactly what you're looking for. Constructed from a durable MDF, it won't be as hard to look after as marble and weighs way less too. It also comes in a white and grey marble-look, but the black definitely looks the most realistic. Its round 31.4-inch table top means it's great for smaller spaces, and won't obstruct the flow of the space.
FAQs
When are the Black Friday furniture sales?
Black Friday has traditionally been the Friday after Thanksgiving, which this year falls on November 29th. It’s the perfect time to score some of the lowest furniture prices of the year. But, unlike the old days of lining up at midnight after a turkey feast, Black Friday has evolved. Deals not only start sooner, but they're also available online, so there's no need to brave the crowds.
How soon, you ask? “Early” Black Friday deals will definitely kick off on Thanksgiving, and there will be plenty of early deals to be had before then, too! Bookmark this page for all the latest Black Friday furniture sale updates.
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 Amazon Prime Day, which takes place in mid-July, Black Friday 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 up for a discount.
What are the best 4th of July furniture sales?
Independence Day offers another great opportunity to shop furniture sales, with many retailers dropping their prices significantly. You can review the list above for the best sales to shop, but beware: this event doesn't tend to stick around for much longer after July 5th, so it's best to get in quick while stock lasts.
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!
When are the Memorial Day Furniture Sales?
The Memorial Day sales event should typically take place on the last Monday of May every year. As that has already been and gone in 2024, the next date to look out for is Monday, 26th May 2025. 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.
