The very best deals ahead of Memorial Day 2023

Believe it or not, the unofficial start of summer’s finally (almost) here again. That means pool floats, backyard hangouts, and sizzling hot Memorial Day weekend sales. Savvy shoppers know this is one time of year to snag deals on goodies that don’t often go on sale.

While most big brands won’t release their sales until after Mother’s Day, we’ve rounded up the deals worth keeping an eye on, from mattresses to tech to kitchen and fitness products, and chosen some of our top picks.

We will be updating this story with many more deals, so stay tuned!

Mattresses and bedding deals

Why we love it

The Nectar Premier Copper Mattress is a multi-layer cooling option that uses a copper cover to help dispel heat, featuring memory foam with ActiveCool tech as well as additional layers to help dampen movement. It’s firm and supportive without feeling like you’re sleeping on a pile of bricks, and it comes with Nectar’s generous 365-night home trial, which lets you test it for an entire year to see if it’s right for you. And for the money, you’ll want the option to return it if it isn’t the vibe you’re looking for.

Kitchen deals

Why we love it

While this isn’t technically an MDW deal, we would be remiss if we ignored a good deal on the KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixer, which is the perfect option for anyone looking for a mixer for a smaller kitchen. It’s a small but mighty kitchen gadget that can whip up soups, dips, and sauces, and help put together delicious cakes with ease. It’s a great option for both new and veteran bakers, with a powerful motor and parts that aren’t just simple to clean, but sturdy and reliable. You’ll be able to use this mixer for years to come. Plus, it comes in several fun colors.

Home deals

Why we love it

A solid rival to the Dyson V8 Absolute, the Samung Jet 75 makes maneuvering in and around hard-to-reach places a breeze. It weighs just six pounds, packs 200 air watts (compared to Dyson V8’s 115, has up to 60 minutes of battery power, and features a bin size of 0.8 liters, so you don’t have to empty it as regularly. At $279 (reg. $399), it’s about $30 shy of its lowest price to date. Considering the Dyson alternative will cost you about $499, I’d say that’s a pretty sweet deal.

Health and fitness deals

Why we love it

Just last month, we featured a solid deal on the Theragun Pro handheld massage gun. Ahead of Memorial Day, however, the price has dropped another $70 to just $379 (reg. $599) — that’s 37% in savings and its lowest price to date. The Theragun Pro is Therabody’s top massage gun model (hence the steep price tag) and comes with a rotating arm, six attachments, customizable speed, and a companion app to choose from a wide range of treatments for different muscle groups. Whether you just started a regular workout routine and are struggling with sore muscles or you’re a seasoned athlete looking to improve mobility, the Theragun Pro is the move if you can afford it.
