The best Memorial Day sales you can already get

Editor's note: We are no longer updating this post. If you'd like to see all the top Memorial Day deals of the holiday weekend, please head over to see our weekend-long deals coverage here.

Memorial Day is coming. As the official unofficial start of summer, this long weekend is the perfect time to unwind, barbecue, open up the pool and, of course, do some shopping. This year, as in years past, many retailers are getting an early start on their sales, discounts, and other special offers. My inbox is basically bursting at the seams with retailers and brands alerting me to their upcoming and current sales and offers, and I imagine yours is similar if you're even an occasional online shopper.

So, I thought it would be helpful to apply a keen shopping eye, some heavy-handed research, and my (and my team's) institutional knowledge of which retailers run the best deals around this time to narrow the scope and give you a quick and dirty cheat sheet to all the top options you can already get. Unsurprisingly, there are already lots of mattress and bedding sales from popular brands like Tuft & Needle, Purple, and Serta. Appliance sales are abundant around this holiday as well, and we're already seeing loads of fashion, home, and tech sales as well. (And don't worry, when we get closer to the holiday, we'll definitely have all the dirt on the best sales of the weekend too.)

Without further ado, let's explore the best Memorial Day sales you can already get:

Mattress deals

Nectar Sleep: You can save $125 on the best mattress we've tested yet, and it comes with two free (and very comfy) pillows.

Purple: Save up to $100 on the best luxury mattresses we've tested now through 5/27. You can also get 10% off everything else, and check out the buy one, get one free Purple Blanket offer too.

Tuft & Needle: Save $150 on the Mint mattress, and get two free pillows (A $200 value). Tuft & Needle makes our favorite affordable mattresses, and while we haven't tested the Mint, we're confident it's a high-quality mattress.
