Summer is winding down. Before you know it, days will get shorter, temperatures will drop, and leaves will start to yellow. However, you can beat those end-of-summer blues with a little retail therapy.
Labor Day is one of the biggest retail holidays of the year and I don't know about you, but my wallet can definitely use some relief. Whether you're looking for last-minute back to school laptop deals or interested in browsing end-of-summer clearance sales, Labor Day is the perfect opportunity to make any small or big-ticket purchases you were holding off on.
I've been covering Labor Day sales for over 10 years. Right now my favorite sale comes from Amazon. As one of the biggest online retailers, Amazon is taking up to 45% off sitewide. As part of the sale Amazon has its Echo devices on sale from $29. That may sound like your typical Amazon deal, but it's more relevant than ever because last month Amazon raised the price of its hardware by up to 61%.
The first days of September are also great time to shop end-of-summer deals, and Walmart has patio furniture / accessories on sale from $15. I've always thought that barbecues are more enjoyable in the cooler weather, so now is the time to give your backyard a revamp or get it ready for summer of 2027.
There are plenty of Labor Day sales out there and we'll be updating this live blog with all of the best deals. For more discounts and personal recommendations, make sure to check out the Tom's Guide Savings Squad hub, where we bring our our favorite deals each day.

The Dell XPS 13 (2026) is a serious rival to the MacBook Neo. It can be configured to your liking, but the base model packs a 13.4-inch 2.5K touchscreen display, Core i5-320 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. You also get two USB 3 ports and an all-aluminum design. Starting at $699, it's a budget laptop worth considering. In our XPS 13 2026 review, we called it the "the best budget Windows laptop right now." Note: Students can get it for $599 upon verifying their student status at Dell.

Laptops
The Acer Aspire Go 15 is a previous pick on our list of the best laptops, and it's even better value now that it's on sale. You get a roomy 15.6-inch display, 10 hours of battery life, and plenty of ports. We also like its comfortable keyboard, and its AMD Ryzen 7-7730U processor, which although showing its age, is still enough to handle everyday tasks. Especially when combined with its 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. A very rare at this price point.

This Dell 15 laptop is a great, no-frills machine that's perfect for work or school. Inside, it packs an Intel Core i7-1355U processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It also has a 15.6-inch 2K touch display, which will make everything appear nice and sharp. I've seen it sell for $599 before, but even at this price I'd consider it a good deal.

This HP OmniBook X Flip is one of the best value machines you can buy. It packs some powerful specs, too, with its Ryzen AI 5-430 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. Throw in its 16-inch 2K (1920 x 1200) OLED display and you're looking at a solid laptop that packs a punch.

Mattresses
The DreamCloud Classic is our top-rated mattress in a box, a luxury-style hybrid that punches well above its $699 queen price tag. Granted, this is a sale we see throughout most of the year but it's still an excellent deal on a well-made bed. With its full-body support, soothing pressure relief and breathable build, we particularly recommend it to side sleepers looking for reliable temperature regulation. Plus, it comes with excellent benefits, including a 365 night sleep trial and forever warranty.

The Nectar Premier is voted the best memory foam mattress by our testers, thanks to the body-hugging comfort it delivers to side sleepers. Nectar mattress sales are common, but even so, a queen mattress under $1,000 is an excellent deal for a bestseller from one of the biggest bed-in-a-box brands in America. Also, expect Nectar's generous benefits, including a 365-night sleep trial and a lifetime warranty.

If this summer's heatwaves have been a punish for your sleep, it might be time to invest in a specialist cooling bed. The Bear Elite Hybrid aced our temperature regulation tests to earn it top place in our guide to the best cooling mattresses — and there's 40% off for Labor Day when you use the code TOMS40 at checkout. That takes a queen down to $1,370 from 2,284. Plus, you'll get two free pillows and a mattress protector. Our testing data found the Elite Hybrid effectively shed excess heat to make stuffy, sweaty nights a thing of the past. Like the Saatva, it comes in three firmness levels.

The Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress has been designed and constructed specifically with side sleepers in mind, and it doesn't disappoint. After testing and re-testing this luxury mattress, it continues to take the top spot in our guide to the best mattress for side sleepers. The plush pillow top provides ample pressure relief around the shoulders and hips, but those who prefer a more responsive sleep surface might prefer the Saatva at #1. There was 27% off for Memorial Day, which was a slightly better deal. Still, 25% off beats the standard 20% off Helix mattress sale.

The Saatva Classic scored an unprecedented 5 stars in our review, hitting all the right notes for comfort and support for practically every type of sleeper. Our semi-exclusive sale access unlocks $400 off all sizes of the Classic in the current sale, taking a queen down to $1,829 from $2,229. While that is an excellent deal, we have tracked a small MSRP increase on the classic since the last Saatva Labor Day sale, when it was priced at $2,139 at full MSRP. Still $400 is the best deal you'll get on the best hybrid mattress we've tested.
