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.

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.

Nolah Evolution 15: from $1,799 $1,099 + 2 free pillows at Nolah
Save up to $898 - Another great choice for side sleepers is the top-tier Nolah Evolution 15, an ultra-high-tech luxury hybrid mattress that's packed with high-performance materials to keep you cool, comfortable and supported all night: think thermally conductive foams and fibres, tri-zoned support coils and a high-density orthopaedic core for extra durability. 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.  

Tuft & Needle Original Mattress: from $645 $580.50 at T&N
Save up to $109.05 - There's 10% off the T&N Original mattress in the company's Labor Day sale. This budget foam mattress delivers great pressure relief and comfort for the price - but we've seen 20% off in the past, with prices down to $405 (was $450) for a twin, or $625.50 for a queen, down from $695, and we think the pricing may drop again closer to Labor Day.

Casper Nova Hybrid mattress: from $1,195 $1,015.75 at Casper
Save up to $359 - Casper's Labor Day mattress sale cuts 15% off the price of its most high-end mattresses, including the Nova Hybrid - a plush four-layer mattress made from premium foam and springs. There's 15% off the Casper Nova Hybrid Snow, too - an ultra-cooling version of the Nova Hybrid that's particularly well suited to hot sleepers (it now starts from $1,440.75, down from $1,695). These are great prices for two of Casper's best mattresses, and we don't expect to see them cheaper closer to the time.

GhostBed Luxe mattress: from $1,795 $1,257 + 2 free pillows at Ghostbed
Save up to $1,170 - GhostBed's Labor Day mattress sale matches its best-ever Black Friday offer with up to 30% off mattresses, plus two free pillows worth $170.

Save up to $719 - You can get 30% off any Amerisleep mattress, plus $239 in free accessories with the promo code AS30 - but the AS3 is our top pick. It's the company's most popular memory foam mattress, and aims to provide cooling comfort no matter which position you sleep in. It comes with a 20-year warranty, which is longer than average, and with the 30% discount a queen is reduced from $1,499 to $1,049, saving you nearly $450.

The Big Fig Mattress: from $1,499 $1,199 + free foundation at Big Fig
Save up to $699 - Big Fig's medium-firm cooling hybrid mattress is specifically designed for heavier bodies: the more pressure you put on it, the more the high-density foam and flexible wrapped coils  react to support you. The company's Labor Day mattress sale knocks $300 off the BigFig - which is better than the usual $200 discount - and you can choose whether you want a free super-strong foundation too, worth $399. This one comes with a 120-night trial, so you can check whether it's right, plus a generous 20-year warranty as well.

Bear Pro: from $895 $672 + free pillows and sheets at Bear
Save up to $373 - Bear's Labor Day sale is now live, with 25% off mattresses, plus a free gift set worth up to $250. Our top pick of the three Bear mattresses is the mid-range, medium-firm, memory foam Bear Pro. It’s an upgrade on Bear's cheaper all-foam model, with more cooling tech and pressure relief, and better motion isolation. The free gift set includes two Cloud pillows and a sheet set, and with $250 off it's worth a look - a queen size currently costs $972, down from $1,295.

Zoma Mattress: from $749 $599 + free gifts worth up to $375 at Zoma
Save up to $250 - The Zoma Mattress is a good option for active people. It's designed to help you recover faster from training, with a ventilated cover fabric to keep you cool at night, and breathable gel memory foam to relieve painful pressure points. This deal slashes the price of a queen size from $949 to $799 - that's $150 off. Plus you get a free bedding bundle worth up to $375, which includes a customizable sports pillow and mattress protector.

Save $160 - Another heavily discounted premium laptop in the Labor Day sales is this HP Envy x360. An 11th gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD means you're getting plenty of power here alongside that rather sleek aesthetic. Also available is HP's 'customize before you buy' feature, which allows you to upgrade this machine even further.

Labor Day sales 2021: Headphones

AirPods with wired charging case: $159 $118.99 at Amazon
Save $40 - $118 is a price we're more accustomed to seeing over Black Friday events, not Labor Day sales. And, while this price could drop a bit lower (we've seen $114 recently), it's still a great deal on the standard 2019 AirPods - a great set of wireless earbuds.

Apple AirPods Pro: $249 $189.99 at Amazon
Save $79 - Amazon has the best-selling AirPods Pro on sale for $189.99 right now - just $20 more than the lowest we've seen this year. Again, this one could go lower over Labor Day, but it's still a great price if you're looking to save a bit of cash on one of the best pairs of wireless earbuds (with noise-canceling) that money can buy.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro: $199.99 $152.66 at Amazon
Save $30 -  The latest true wireless earbuds from Samsung, the Galaxy Buds Pro offer up active noise cancellation, IPX7 waterproofing, and AKG audio. This latest sale at Amazon is a whole $20 cheaper than the previous record, although note - it's only available on the black color as of writing.

Beats Solo Pro Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones: $299.99 $149 at Walmart
Save $150 - Walmart has the best-selling Beats Solo Pro on sale for a record-low price of $149, thanks to this massive $150 discount we've spotted at Walmart. This deal applies to the Black color, which you can't find at Best Buy or Amazon at this price.

Apple AirPods Max: $549 $489.99 at Amazon
Save $59 - We've spotted the powerful Apple AirPods Max on sale for $489.99 at Amazon - only $40 more than the record-low price. The over-ear headphones feature active noise cancellation to block out unwanted noise and provide up to 20 hours of battery life.

Labor Day sales 2021: Smartwatches

Apple Watch Series 3, 38mm: $229 $179 at Walmart
Save $60 - Get the best-selling Apple Watch 3 in stock and on sale for $179 at Walmart. We've seen this particular deal go for $10 less before, but it's still great option if you're simply looking for a smartwatch that'll cover the basics at a great price. Stock on the Series 3 has been pretty difficult to find as of late too, so it's probably worth picking one up sooner rather than later.

Apple Watch SE: $279 $260 at Amazon
Save $30 - Amazon has the Apple Watch SE on sale for $260 right now - a modest, but fairly good discount on this new budget smartwatch. Today's offer applies to the White sport band and - in our eyes - is the better choice than the Apple Watch 6 as it comes with Fitness Plus and sheds the unnecessary ECG and blood oxygen tracking.

Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm): $399 $319.99 at Amazon
Save $69 - Amazon has the Apple Watch 6 on sale for a record-low price of $319.99, but only on the red color... for now. Our fingers are crossed for similar discounts on the darker hues - which have had sales prices of $329 over the past few months, although only sporadically. With a new blood oxygen monitor, always-on Retina display, and powerful new S6 chip makes this the watch of choice for those who want the latest and greatest from Apple.

Labor Day sales 2021: FAQ

When do Labor Day sales start?

Labor Day falls on September 6th this year and that's when the best deals will be concentrated. That said, a number of retailers have already launched their Labor Day sales page - all of which you can view just above.

Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, and other leading retailers haven't posted their Labor Day sales just yet, but it's likely we'll see things heat up quite quickly from this week onwards and definitely on the prior weekend to Labor Day. We'll of course be posting all the best early-bird Labor Day sales right here on this page, so don't hesitate to bookmark and revisit closer to the date.

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.
