The absolute best Memorial Day sales: Shop 89+ actually good deals on mattresses, beauty, tech and more
Memorial Day is here, and many of our favorite brands and retailers are offering major deals sitewide. The holiday's typically a good time to save on home and kitchen appliances, mattresses and seasonal products, according to experts in our Memorial Day shopping guide. Experts also say that now might be a 'pivotal moment' to get discounts on your favorite items before shrinking inventory and impending tariffs increase prices. I've reported on holiday and daily sales at NBC Select for years — below are some of the best deals I've found so far. I'll update this list with new deals, especially as prices and inventory change throughout the day. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. The best Memorial Day 2025 deals to shop now All of our recommendations are based on our previous coverage and reporting. We also included products we tried and tested ourselves, including expert-recommended products and NBC Select Award winners. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio loves EltaMD face sunscreen for sensitive skin because it's free of heavy moisturizers that can clog pores or flare her rosacea -prone skin. Pair it with a body sunscreen like the EltaMD UV Sport SPF, and you're ready for beach day. This is Apple's most affordable iPad at the lowest price we've seen. I use my iPad for all things entertainment, mostly streaming (TV and movies), and for recipes and books. This model gets up to 10 hours of battery life, and has speakers on each side for a stereo audio feel. You can get one year of Peacock Premium for $24.99, that's 68% off the usual $79.99 price. Peacock is a streaming service with some of our favorite classic sitcoms like 'The Office' and 'Parks and Recreation', newer original programming like 'Poker Face' and breakout movies like 'Wicked'. You can also watch select live sports as well as NBC and Bravo programming. This plan has ads, however. These cute Lego Cherry Blossoms are a fun alternative to flowers, especially if you aren't exactly known for your green thumb. The set has two buildable cherry blossom twigs that are a little over 14 inches long, each with pink and white buds. This NBC Select Bed & Bath Award winner is our top pick for hot sleepers, and with summer right around the corner, it might be a good time to pick up a set. They are made from 100% long-staple cotton and come in sizes ranging from twin to California King. A set includes a top sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases. This is one of our favorite air purifiers for small spaces. NBC Select commerce editor Lindsay Schneider received this unit from the brand and it's been the clear favorite of all the air purifiers she's tested. One great feature is the built-in light — it changes color depending on the air quality detected in your space, and it can act as a warm-colored night light. The filters last a full year before needing replacement. I purchased this mattress on sale during Memorial Day 2023, and it's the most comfortable mattress I've ever owned. It's a hybrid mattress with six distinct layers, including a breathable top foam layer and supportive wrapped spring layer towards the bottom. It's firm, plush, supportive and quiet. Levoit is better known for its air purifiers, but this cordless vacuum from the brand checks a lot of boxes and is on sale for less than $150. It's super lightweight at 3.2 pounds, easy to convert into a smaller handheld vacuum, and has headlights on the main cleaning brush to better see dust and debris. It also gets up to 50 minutes of run time, longer than most other vacuums at this price. Don't let the 7% off Amazon tag fool you, this is the lowest price we've ever seen for the LG C4, one of the best TVs you can buy. This 65-inch version originally launched in 2024 for $2,699.99 — you can grab it today for almost half that price. I always recommend buying last year's TVs, like this one, as you can get a much better deal than buying current models (the 2025 65-inch LG C5, for example, costs more than $2,000 right now). Lifestraw makes some of our favorite water pitchers, but they're best known for on the go filtration like this Go Series water bottle. The membrane microfilter protects from contaminants like bacteria, parasites, microplastics, sand and dirt, and lasts for about 1,000 gallons of water, or about five years of daily use, according to the brand. If you're looking to run your first race or build a consistent running routine, this is the best fitness tracker you can get. It has a ton of fitness and training features like daily exercise recommendations, race coaching plans, daily energy score and advanced running statistics. Plus, I averaged 10 days of use before needing to recharge it. You can learn more in my Garmin Forerunner 165 review. Brands are increasing prices due to tariffs, and one big category we're seeing price hikes in is baby gear. Thule has not announced price increases at this time — instead, we're seeing up to 25% off sitewide, including on popular items like this Thule Spring stroller. It's the most lightweight and compact stroller from the brand, with a three-wheel design that takes up less spaces when folded. This electric pellet grill uses wood pellets instead of gas or charcoal to create heat, and infuses a smoky, woody flavor to food. It has a large main cooking area plus an extra grill rack toward the back to keep cooked food warm (but not overcooked). It also has a small screen and dial that lets you adjust the temperature of the grill and view the temperature of the built-in food probe. The larger Traeger Pro 34 is also on sale, but is currently out of stock. The AirPods Max are the nicest (and priciest) Apple headphones you can buy, which is why any discount is worth highlighting. NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez has used her pair for more than two years — they're the best headphones she's ever owned, with excellent sound quality and noise cancelling features, plus a class-leading transparency mode.

I've tested a lot of wireless earbuds — these are the ones I come back to again and again as an iPhone owner. The entire NBC Select team uses AirPods Pro 2 for everything: work, working out, traveling and commuting. Whatever the task: AirPods Pro can handle it with great sound quality and excellent noise cancelling and transparency modes.

Early Memorial Day sales are here: Shop the best deals from Brooklinen, Leesa, Apple, EltaMD and more
Memorial Day 2025 is just a few days away (it falls on May 26 this year), but brands are already rolling out deals on bestsellers and brands we know and love. The holiday's typically a good time to grab new appliances, mattresses, bedding, gardening tools and more, according to experts in our Memorial Day shopping guide. We're already seeing deals in these categories and more, including discounts on air purifiers, vacuums, skin care and tech. Below are some of the best deals we've found. We'll update this list with new deals leading up to the holiday. Note that prices and sales may change, especially with ongoing tariff news. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. The best Memorial Day 2025 deals to shop now All of our recommendations are based on our previous coverage and reporting. We also included products we tried and tested ourselves, including expert-recommended products and NBC Select Award winners. This is one of our favorite air purifiers for small spaces. It's easy to set up, simple to use, and small enough to place almost anywhere in your home. The built-in light changes color depending on the air quality detected in your space, and it can act as a warm-colored night light. Best of all, the filters last a full year before needing replacement. EltaMD is having a sitewide 20% off sale, which means it's a great time to stock up on sunscreen before the summer heat arrives. This face sunscreen for sensitive skin is a favorite among dermatologists and staffers like NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio, who uses it on her rosacea-prone skin. It's free of heavy moisturizers that can clog pores, and protects against UVA and UVB sun rays. Pair it with a body sunscreen like the EltaMD UV Sport SPF, and you're ready for beach day. JBL Clip 5 Almost everyone on team NBC Select owns or has gifted a JBL Clip. It's one of the best portable bluetooth speakers you can buy, and it's matching the lowest price we've seen. It has a built-in carabiner you can use to attach it to almost anything — we've clipped it to backpacks, belt loops, bikes, shower curtain rods, kitchen cabinets, the list goes on. It is IP67 dust and waterproof, and gets up to 12 hours of battery life. You can learn more in our JBL Clip 5 review. With summer right around the corner, it might be time to swap to hot-weather bed sheets, and these NBC Select Bed & Bath Award winners feel cool and comfortable, even for a hot sleeper like NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. They are made from 100% long-staple cotton and come in sizes ranging from twin to California King. The set includes a top sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases. Shark Pet Cordless Vacuum (IX141) This cordless vacuum is a whopping 42% off, and can easily be converted into a smaller handheld vacuum for versatile spot cleaning. The main bristle brush has headlights on the front so you can more easily spot dust and debris, especially on hardware flooring. It gets up to 40 minutes of runtime, and comes with a crevice tool, upholstery nozzle and dusting brush attachments. Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress If I get a bad night's sleep, I know it's not because of this mattress. I've used it for about two years, and as someone who never had a hybrid mattress, I love how firm, plush, supportive and quiet it is. It has six distinct layers, including a breathable top foam layer and supportive wrapped spring layer towards the bottom. If you purchase the mattress through Leesa's website, you also get two pillows and a sheet set included at no additional cost. If you have an iPhone, these are the earbuds to get, especially at this sub-$200 price. We use them for everything: commuting, working out, relaxing, traveling, you name it, AirPods can handle it. They have great sound quality, excellent noise cancelling and transparency modes and are small enough to fit in almost any pocket. The earbuds get up to six hours of battery life alone and up to 30 hours with the charging case. Garmin Forerunner 165 This is the best running watch for beginners looking to sign up for their first race or build a consistent running routine, and it's matching the lowest price we've seen. It has many fitness and training features I love like daily exercise recommendations, race coaching plans and an energy score that changes throughout the day. Plus, it has excellent battery life — I averaged 10 days before needing to charge it. You can learn more in my Garmin Forerunner 165 review.
