Memorial Day Marks The Beginning of The Summer Season

Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer season, and also happens to be one of the biggest days for furniture sales. Furniture retailers often offer heavy discounts the last ten days of May making this a good time to look for deals.

What to Buy

While all kinds of furniture and home furnishings are on sale, this is an especially good time to buy outdoor furniture. When shopping for outdoor furniture, look for pieces that you can also use indoors. Indoor/outdoor rugs are great for use in heavy traffic areas inside the home.

You will also find bedroom furniture and mattresses on sale. This is the first time that discounts are being offered on Tempur-Pedic mattresses, so if you were thinking of buying one, this might be a good time to look.

Since Father's Day is not too far away you may also find recliners at good prices.

How to Buy

If you are buying in store, make sure to talk to a salesperson and ask about special discounts and savings. You might be able to get even better prices, and it never hurts to ask.

Many furniture stores will also be offering special financing for one year with no interest. Online, you will find free shipping or special rates when you spend a certain amount. You will also find offers for free home delivery, or the option to pick up your online purchase at your nearest store.
