14 Seasonal Sales At Wayfair Beyond Black Friday

With over 40 million products on its site, sourced from over 20,000 suppliers, Wayfair might be your favorite spot to furnish your home. However, unless you know the untold truth about this home goods company, there's a good chance you might not be privy to a few big secrets about Wayfair. To elaborate, the fact that it holds several sales throughout the year. Now, you might know about the uber-popular ones like Black Friday. But you don't really have to wait until November to save money on decor, furniture, or lighting. It's because this retailer offers great discounts, beyond promo codes, every month (sometimes twice, too!). The event might last a week or weekend (it might be longer in certain cases), but you can surely maximize your savings if you shop at the right time.

For instance, it holds two Way Day sales — one to welcome spring and the other to help you prep your home for fall. It also has a "Black Friday in July" event to make seasonal shopping more fun. There are also other seasonal, irregular, and daily sales as well, but we've only listed the top 14 here since there are higher chances of you snagging a good deal through these. Further, we've arranged this list month-wise and noted the best categories to look for during each sale, so you can plan your purchases accordingly. That being said, we couldn't include specific dates since it changes from one year to the next. Still, we have added in a probable week/day for each event so you at least have some idea of when a sale is going to be live.

During the first week of January, Wayfair hosts a "New Year Super Sale," wherein you can find home decor, furniture, and other furnishings for up to 70% off their regular retail price. You may also find bedding and other household linen at 50% discount. The company usually does this to clear out stock from certain retailers as they gear up to introduce their new inventory for the upcoming season. So, keep in mind that most items you find on sale will be winter-coded somehow — be it through fabrics or colors.

Commemorating the third Monday in February, Wayfair holds a "Presidents' Day Clearance Sale" every year. Generally lasting a week, you can expect to find great deals (up to 70% off) on indoor furniture, such as chairs, dining as well as coffee tables, and bedding. This is done because the showrooms need to clear their floor space to accommodate the new spring and summer furniture (mostly outdoor basics). So, the bulky indoor pieces are the first to go. You may even find a discount of about 50% on mattresses. Some indoor appliances might be on offer, too.

Primarily taking place online, the "Spring Cyber Week" starts late in March and goes on for about three to seven days annually. You'll find deals on furniture, home decor, appliances, lighting, area rugs, storage as well as organization items, and mattresses. Though there will be hundreds of products on sale, the intensity of discounts will vary greatly. For instance, you may find certain outdoor furniture for up to 80% off, but retailers might only shave 15 to 35% off most sofas and beds. On the other hand, mattresses and bed frames might be a part of bundled savings.

Hosted towards the end of April (though it has sometimes happened in May, too), the "Spring Way Day" sale is one of the biggest clearance events from Wayfair. As such, you can expect to find great deals (to the tune of up to 80% off) across categories, such as expensive furniture (both indoors and outdoors), plush decor, major appliances, lighting, mattresses, and kitchen and gardening essentials. This is also a good time to snag items from celebrity brands, like Kelly Clarkson, Martha Stewart, and Joanna Gaines, that you might otherwise have left on your wish list. Since this is such a major event, keep in mind that popular items tend to sell out quickly.

Towards the end of May, more specifically the last Monday of the month, the company holds a "Memorial Day Clearance Sale" at Wayfair. It generally lasts through the weekend, but in certain cases the company turns it into a week-long affair. And though you'll find several items across categories on discount, it's best for outdoor items. Specifically patio furniture, grills, BBQs, and deck boxes. You can also check out indoor decor, mattresses, and rugs. The discounts usually range between 50 and 70% throughout.

To mark the change in seasons, Wayfair has a summer sale sometime toward the beginning of the month. This event doesn't have a fixed name, though. For instance, this year it was dubbed as the "Hot Summer Sale," but it has also been known as "Summer Essentials for Less" and others over the years. This sale is best for scoring patio furniture, lawn games, and pool gear for less. You may even find delectable deals on planters and sofas. Generally, you can find items for up to 70 to 80% off their original price.

Like other similar businesses, such as Ikea, Home Depot, and Costco, Wayfair also has a "Fourth of July Sale" annually. But unlike others, this isn't the highlight for this home goods company. So, while you'll find discounts galore, it's best to stock up on summer essentials, a.k.a. outdoor furniture or other products you need for entertaining guests, during this sale event. It starts toward the end of June and lasts till the first week of July, and you can expect discounts to the tune of 70% (max.).

Another major July event, Wayfair prepones Black Friday savings (so you don't have to wait till November) and hosts a sale toward the end of the month. Lasting five days, this is a good opportunity to upgrade your living room essentials, like sofas, area rugs, and dining tables, since they'll be available for up to 80% off. The company is also known to drop surprise deals mid-way through the sale (like 24-hour deals and doorbusters). There's just one caveat: you'll have to keep an eye on the site or app to maximize your savings.

As you wean your kids off their summer shenanigans  and get them ready for a new year of learning, Wayfair offers discounts on back to school supplies in August and September to make this transitionary period easier. This means you'll find good deals (up to 50% off) on stationery items during these months. You'll also see desks, cabinets, chairs, and other home office essentials on discount. So, this is one of the best periods to turn your home office cozier on a budget.

Even though this federal holiday is celebrated on the first Monday of September, Wayfair's "Labor Day Clearance Sale" starts late August and generally runs until the first week of September. Since it's positioned between the end of summer, it's one of the best times to stock up on furniture. Though the company maintains you can find discounts on any kind of furniture during this event, know that Wayfair marks down unsold patio furniture (you can snag them for up to 70% off) during Labor Day. So, it's a good time to upgrade your old, tattered patio sofa or outdated dining table and prepare early for next year.

While the first two weeks of October are considered the perfect time to start putting out your Halloween decorations, you don't have to wait that long to buy or DIY decor. In fact, you should start early to snag the best (read: brand-new) items retailers have in store. However, if you're late to the party, Wayfair's "Holiday Deals Week" might help. Running from the end of September to the first week of October, you'll find some good discounts (a maximum of 80%) on Halloween decor as well as Thanksgiving and holiday essentials (like artificial Christmas trees).

Officially one of the best times to shop at Wayfair, the Way Day in Fall serves as a prequel to the upcoming Black Friday sale. Keeping this in mind, the company usually holds the sale in the last week of October (it's between October 26 and 29 this year). That being said, it can sometimes be held in the middle of the month, too. Given its proximity to the holiday season, it's a good opportunity to get some new furniture, decor, and home improvement items. You can expect to save up to 80% (you'll see some 24-hour deals and doorbusters here, too) during this event.

Though Black Friday hogs most of the attention, Cyber Monday is ideal for shoppers who couldn't convince their Turkey-stuffed bellies to make the trek to the store. Falling on the Monday after Thanksgiving, this sale event takes place online and you'll find mostly all the products on sale. This makes it the perfect event for snagging appliances and other smart home gadgets for a steal. Since the deals are mostly comparable to Black Friday, expect to get nearly 80% off on items (24-hour flash sales may further sweeten the pot). This sale usually lasts through the first week of December.

Like its name suggests, this sale event takes place towards the end of the year. The dates change from one year to the next, but it usually starts one to two days before Christmas and lasts till the 1st of January, next year. And since most retailers partnered with Wayfair want to clear out their stock and prepare for the upcoming one, you can expect to find rugs, bedding, storage solutions, and furniture for up to 90% off. As such, it's a great chance to get some last-minute holiday gifts or furnish your home with new items on Christmas.
