Presidents' Day isn't the biggest retail holiday of the year. However, I still consider it an important event because it's a great opportunity to save on major purchases. It's also the only major retail holiday between now and Memorial Day.
I've been covering Presidents' Day sales for over 15 years and this year I'm joining the masses and making some big-ticket purchases myself. After moving into a new apartment, I'm on the hunt for new furniture, a soundbar, and a few smart home gadgets to fully automize my new digs.
If you're looking for the biggest variety of deals, Amazon is taking 50% off Ninja, Blink, and Apple devices. Standout deals include $100 off the Apple Watch 11, our favorite Blink cameras from $17, and Ninja appliances from $69.
Presidents' Day sales are great if you need a new bed. Everything from mattresses to duvets are undergoing deep discounts. For example, the Nectar Premier Hybrid Mattress is on sale from $799. I've been sleeping on this mattress and recommend it for just about any type of sleeper. (Check out our full guide to the best Presidents Day mattress sales for more deals).

The Tribit PocketGo will be your new best friend. For less than $30, this Bluetooth speaker packs one heck of a punch in the sound department. On top of that, its IP68 waterproofing and military-grade drop protection make it perfect for long hikes in unpredictable weather. The speaker has a total battery life of 20 hours, making it ideal for a weekend camping trip.

TV sale: deals from $59 @ Amazon
The Super Bowl may be over, but the Olympics are just getting started. Plus, the World Cup will be here before you know it. If you're looking for a TV upgrade, Amazon has smart TVs on sale for as low as $59. Keep in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller models (which are more suitable for a children's room or guest room). However, the sale also includes larger sets.

Skechers shoes/apparel: from $16 @ Amazon
I've been a Skechers fan for years. In addition to being super comfortable, there's a Skechers sneaker for pretty much any style. Amazon is having a massive Skechers sale. The sale includes sneakers and apparel for men, women and children from $16.

These dumbbells can be adjusted from 5 to 52.5 lbs in 5 lb increments, making them ideal for beginners and advanced lifters. They replace BowFlex's previous model and are made of premium metal components with non-slip grips. The best part is they replace 15 sets of weights and fit neatly in the corner of any room. I recommend them for everything from goblet squats to bicep curls.
Price check: $399 @ BowFlex

The Saucony Hurricane 24 is my current running shoe. It uses PWRRUN+ foam, which cushions your feet while still feeling springy. With a wide base and rocker design, it offers a stable and comfortable ride for longer or easy runs. The breathable mesh upper fits securely without being tight. The women's version is also on sale for $86.

TVs

The Roku Select Series 2025 model bumps the resolution up to 4K and adds support for Apple AirPlay, and Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It comes with two HDMI ports for consoles or other devices. This set is beloved by the Tom's Guide team, with multiple members adding it to their homes.

The QM5K has built-in Google TV features for all of your streaming needs, plus Dolby Vision support. Its handiest feature is its Mini-LED backlighting, which is difficult to find at this price point. If you're going to shop in this price range, I recommend going with the QM5K over a super-cheap TV from a brand like Insignia or Onn.

Samsung's most affordable OLED TV of 2025 may not be as much of a showstopper as the brand's flagship-level S95F, but it's priced well for a 65-inch OLED TV. It also comes with a useful array of gaming enhancements and streaming features. It's gone up a bit since Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but is still under $1,000, making it a hard bargain to beat.

Mattresses

Our best mattress in a box, the DreamCloud doesn't have the versatility (or the luxury finish) of the Saatva Classic, but it offers exceptional full-body support and quilted cushioning that's ideal for side sleepers. A queen is $699 in the DreamCloud mattress sale and that's the standard offer — we'll be surprised if it gets any cheaper on Presidents' Day. Plus, if you buy now you'll also get a free bedding bundle. An added bonus for a bed we described as "unbeatable value" in our DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress review.

The Nectar Premier Hybrid is a 13-inch tall mattress that uses cooling fibers and open coils to create a breathable feel. Like all the best hybrid mattresses, the Premier Hybrid has a supportive coil base while those plush Nectar foams provide superior pressure relief. We haven't tested this current model, but you can learn about the previous iteration with our Nectar Premier Hybrid mattress review. It's well priced for a hybrid from one of the best mattress in a box brands, with a queen now $1,099 (was $2,496.)

The Helix mattress sale typically offers 20% but you can save 27% this Presidents' Day by entering code "TOMS27" at checkout. This reduces the Midnight Luxe, the best mattress for side sleepers we've tested, to $1,751 for a queen (was $2,398.) The exceptional pressure relief stood out in our Helix Midnight Luxe mattress review but this bed is strong all-round, although stomach sleepers might prefer the Helix Dusk Luxe mattress.

We were so impressed during our Saatva Classic mattress review that we gave this bed a perfect score, awarding it high marks for temperature regulation, edge support and full body comfort. The patented lumbar zone spinal wire helps relieve aches and pains while the variety of firmness options means it suits most people. No wonder we declared it the best hybrid mattress you can buy online The current $400 off deal is our favorite Saatva mattress sale — and the same one we spotted over Black Friday — bringing a twin down to $999 and a queen is $1,779. Plus, a 365-night trial and lifetime warranty is included.

The Culligan ZeroWater 22-Cup Water Filter includes a 5-stage filtration system to remove 99.9% of total dissolved solids (TDS) in your drinking water. It also comes with an integrated TDS meter for real-time readings. I love it because it's fast, compact, and includes built-in handles to move it around the kitchen counter.

The Morento space heater features a 1500W PTC ceramic core to warm up in no time. It comes with four modes and is packed with safety features, including a child lock, anti-tip shutdown, and 24-hour auto-off. In addition, it has a 70-degree oscillation to keep all areas of the room covered, and is whisper-quiet. Best of all, it can be remotely controlled via the Havaworks app and is compatible with Alexa & Google Home for voice operation.

Compact and easy to use, the Ninja CE251 Coffee Machine is a no-fuss, 12-cup coffee brewer with a removable 60-ounce water reservoir and adjustable warming plate that can keep your coffee hot for up to 4 hours. The machine lets you pick from classic or rich brew settings and it can also be programmed up to 24 hours in advance. I've been using this machine for the past year and recommend it to all coffee lovers looking to save money, but who still want a strong cup of joe.

I'm no top chef, but now that we have a spacious kitchen, I'd like to try to make more home cooked meals. That's why the Ninja Foodi Possible Cooker Pro is on my list of things to buy. Designed to de-clutter your kitchen, this multi-cooker is a tour-de-force when it comes to versatility. It has: slow cook, saute, braise, white rice, brown rice, oats, and pasta settings, eradicating the need for separate appliances.

The X3 is a premium ergonomic office chair that combines a breathable mesh backrest with a cushioned foam seat for improved comfort and ergonomics. The standard model will get the job done, but optional accessories like a headrest and even a massage unit are tempting — although they raise its price even further. I've been using it for the past year and find it does an amazing job supporting my 6'3" and 235-lb. frame. It's comfortable if you sit for hours and it has a modern, stylish look.
