I've been covering Memorial Day Sales for 15 years — heres the 43 deals I'd shop right now
You don't have to wait until May 27 to score these deals
The floodgates are open! Although the official Memorial Day date isn't until May 27, practically every retailer has unveiled their Memorial Day sales. If you've been planning a major purchase, now is the time to do it.
I've been covering Memorial Day deals for more than 15 years. Yes, there are a lot of retail holidays throughout the year, but few of them match the steep discounts you see on Memorial Day. In fact, the next major retail holiday won't happen until the end of summer. So if you're like me and like to wait for the best deal — right now is it.
One of this week's biggest sales comes from Amazon. Amazon is taking up to 40% off Hydro Flask, Apple, Ring, and more. A note of caution: if you're looking for deals on Amazon hardware (Echo devices, etc). I would recommend holding off for Prime Day if you can. You'll see slightly lower prices then. That said, below I've included some Amazon devices that are currently at all-time price lows.
Not to be outdone, Best Buy is knocking up to 45% off appliances. Plus, you can score from a $50 to $500 Best Buy eGift card for free with select purchases. This is a great sale if you're looking for a new washer/dryer, coffee machine, ice cream maker, or outdoor grill.
I've spent hours looking through this week's deals, and below I've rounded up what I think are the best sales. The likelihood of these deals getting significantly lower in the days to come is very low, which makes it a safe bet to shop now.

iLife V3s Pro was $159 now $109 @ Amazon
Our favorite budget robot vacuum cleaner just got cheaper.

In our iLife V3s Pro review, we named the Editor's Choice vacuum the best budget cleaner.

Running shoes
Nike Interact Run (Men's): was $85 now $50 @ Nike
These highly-rated running shoes, featuring Nike's lightweight Flyknit upper, are a whopping 40% off and still available in every size (rare for discounts this big). This style also features a waffle outsole crafted from recycled materials (from other Nike footwear, no less) to fit the overall shoe's ethos of extending its lifecycle. A scannable QR code on the tongue, for instance, provides even more insights on how to recycle or donate these when they've inevitably run their course or help with repairs in the interim. Talk about a long-term investment for less. The women's shoe is on sale for $72.
Pegasus 40 Road Running Shoes (Men's): was $130 now $77 @ Nike
Pegasus has been part of Nike's running lineup for what feels like forever, which is why our review of its 40th iteration concludes it's "a reliable workhorse for beginners and marathon runners alike." The biggest discount is limited to the bronze, black, white/red, and orange/blue combinations, however. The women's shoe is on sale for $85.
Brooks Revel 6 (Men's): was $100 now $79 @ Brooks
If you're new to the world of running and don't want to spend too much, this is the shoe for you. The Revel 6 provides a springy, comfortable feel on the road thanks to its added cushioning. The shoe's arrow-point pattern in the outsole also lets your foot move quickly from heel to toe. The woman's shoe is also on sale for $79.
Air Max 270 (Women's): was $160 now $121 @ Nike
It's not often that this popular sneaker dips so deeply in price. Eligible for a 23% off discount, these easy-to-slip-on sneakers provide buyers with a boost (270 degrees of air!) and nail the trifecta of comfort, style and support. The men's shoe is on sale for $115.
Asics Gel Kayano 30: was $160 now $119 @ Amazon
Editor's recommendation! Rarely on sale, the excellent Gel Kayano 30 have been discounted to $119 ahead of Memorial Day. These running shoes are designed to provide advanced stability and soft cushioning for neutral runners and overpronators alike. I've been using them for just shy of a year and love how they're lightweight yet provide excellent cushioning and support. The women's shoe is also on sale for $119.
Price check: $119 @ Asics
Bedding
Brooklinen All Season Down Alternative Comforter: was $159 now $135 @ Brooklinen
Editor's Pick! I've been using the Brooklinen All Season Down Alternative Comforter for the past few months, and it's quickly become my favorite comforter. It's airy, soft and does an excellent job of insulating heat on cold nights. It's made from recycled PET fibers, repurposed from plastic bottles, but you'll swear it feels like a down comforter. In addition, it's hypoallergenic and can be used year-round. It's available in various sizes and styles.
Casper One Mattress: was $875 now $610 @ Casper
The Casper One is the most affordable option in the reinvented Casper mattress range. It replaces the Casper Original, offering similar levels of contouring to gently hug your curves without sucking you down into the mattress. We're in the middle of testing the Casper One, but from what we've seen so far this is a great mattress in a box for people wanting a breathable, all-foam bed with a medium-firm feel and good pressure relief. Casper's new 30%-off sale beats the discounts we saw during Black Friday, so we doubt this will be increased for Memorial Day. In other words, there's no need to wait on this one. After discount, you can get a twin for $610 (was $875) or a queen for $870 (was $1,245). It comes with a 100-night trial, 10-year limited warranty, and free shipping.
The WinkBed Mattress: was $1,149 now $849 @ WinkBeds
The original WinkBed mattress has an excellent $300 discount on all sizes right now, which takes the cost of a queen to just $1,499. It's a good option for anyone suffering from back pain, thanks to its enhanced support. You can also choose your preferred level of firmness. In our WinkBed mattress review, we said it's a well-made, competitively priced luxury hybrid offering a nice balance of sturdy, zoned support and comfortable cushioning. After discount, the twin costs $849 (was $1,149), whereas the queen costs $1,499 (was $1,799).
Nolah Evolution 15: was $974 now $924 @ Nolah
The Nolah Evolution 15 is a hybrid memory foam bed that suits anyone seeking high levels of pressure relief and cooling. Graphite-infused AirFoamIce and a cool-touch cover handle the cooling, while pressure relief comes courtesy of foam and an 8-inch coil system. In our Nolah Evolution 15 mattress review, we said it's particularly good at isolating motion, which makes it a great choice for couples. Use coupon "TOMSGUIDE50" to take an extra $50 off any mattress. After discount, the twin costs $924 (was $974), whereas the queen costs $1,574 (was $1,624). During checkout, you'll need to remove the discount that's automatically added and add "TOMSGUIDE50" as your discount. You'll then get up to 30% off plus an extra $50 off.
Purple Plus Mattress: was $1,499 now $1,199 @ Purple
$300 off all sizes! The Purple Plus Mattress offers two extra inches of premium foam (versus its predecessor) for better cushioning, responsiveness, and breathability. In our Purple Plus mattress review, we found it was a more luxurious version of the original mattress with better lumbar support. After discount, the twin costs $1,394 (was $1,499), whereas the queen costs $1,599 (was $1,899).
Sleep Number i8 smart bed: was $3,399 now $2,379 @ Sleep Number
The Sleep Number i8 smart bed holds a spot on our list of the best smart mattresses. Sleep Number beds are on everyone's wishlist because they are packed with tech to help you sleep better. While they do provide sleep tracking, we're more drawn to the automatic pressure relief and firmness adjustments — the smart bed tailor's itself to your body. Even better, your side will feel totally different to your partner's side of the bed, so this is an excellent mattress to save you from sleep divorce. We recommend the Sleep Number i8 to all sleepers who have the budget and the need for a mattress that takes the guesswork out of firmness levels, comfort and depth of pressure relief. After discount, the twin is $2,379 (was $3,339), whereas the queen is $2,799 (was $3,999).
Headphones
Sony WF-C700N: was $119 now $92 @ Amazon
The Sony WF-C700N are one of the best wireless earbuds we’ve tested. In our Sony WF-C700N review, we praised their excellent sound, strong noise cancellation and great call quality. They’re also lightweight and last for 7.5 hours of listening time with ANC on. The Sony WF-C700N are at their second-lowest price ever right now.
Price check: $99 @ Best Buy
Sony WH-CH720N: was $149 now $98 @ Amazon
One of the greatest strengths of these low-cost headphones is the amount of playback time they offer between recharges. Battery life runs to 35 hours with noise canceling on, which is 5 hours longer than the flagship WH-1000XM5. They're among the best cheap headphones for travel.
Price check: $149 @ Best Buy
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2: was $299 now $189 @ Amazon
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 take active noise cancellation to the next level. In our Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 review, we said these buds are a remarkable follow-up to their predecessors delivering better sound, call quality and unrivaled ANC. Sound balance and noise neutralization work extremely well and the battery life is up to 6 hours, with an extra 24 hours via the charging case.
Price check: $199 @ Best Buy
Beats Powerbeats Pro: was $249 now $199 @ Amazon
The Powerbeats Pro are a solid pair of Apple wireless fitness earbuds. They have a seamless setup, just like AirPods, and good battery life. The earbuds themselves can play music for 9 hours, and the charging case adds an additional 18 hours. If you have an iPhone and need earbuds for your workout, these are a great pick — not that they aren't great for Android, too.
Price check: $199 @ Walmart
Beats Studio Pro: was $349 now $249 @ Amazon
The Beats Studio Pro are specifically designed to bring back that thumping bass Beats is known for. They offer improved active noise cancelation and boosted battery life (up to 40 hours with ANC turned off). There's also Spatial Audio support and Beats' signature strong brand look. However, our Beats Studio Pro review found the clamping force high, which may affect comfort levels for some wearers.
