There’s no denying that the Black Friday sales can be quite an overwhelming shopping experience, and as much as we all love a great deal, we want to make sure we’re getting a good discount on a product that is actually worth it. Although not all deals are good, Black Friday remains the biggest shopping event of the year for a reason, with many retailers dropping unmissable discounts that won’t roll around again until next year.
So, to help you navigate through the noise, we’re here to guide you through the very best Black Friday home deals. Here at H&G, throughout the year, we have a team of dedicated product experts and shopping editors who work tirelessly to test everything from the best vacuums to the best mattresses, and who research and stay on top of all of the latest homeware trends; helping you to invest in quality products to enhance your home and lifestyle. Our experts not only know these products inside out, but they also know the best places to shop for them, too.
Black Friday sales haven't properly started yet, but some retailers are already marketing 'early deals'. Each year the deals drop earlier and earlier, so we're expecting many of the biggest retailers to start their sales at least a week before Black Friday (if not before). This year, Black Friday falls on Friday 29th November. The core days of the shopping event will run from Friday 29th through to Monday 2nd December, with this day nicknamed 'Cyber Monday' due to its particular focus on tech discounts. However, as we know by now, many deals will drop earlier and after Black Friday and Cyber Monday...but don't worry, we'll be here throughout to keep you focused on the best products to shop.

Kitchen appliances
If you're looking to upgrade your kitchen appliances, you’ll score a great deal on Black Friday. I’m expecting super savings on air fryers, blenders and juicers – just in time for that new year health kick.
Plus, at this time of year, large appliance brands typically release newer models, so you’ll be able to buy older models at low prices. I’ve consulted the experts on the most reliable refrigerator brands, from Frigidaire to LG, so I can find the highest quality bargains for you.
I’ve rounded up our favorite, tried-and-tested kit on our Black Friday appliances deals page – so you can act fast when the sales hit and be certain that you’re investing in the best.
Here's a quick look at what products I'm looking out for in the Black Friday sales.
Our Editor's Choice, this model makes excellent French fries. We highly rate the window and odor neutralizer – it's affordable and user-friendly.

The clue is in the name: this is a professional quality machine which delivers barista-worthy result. Breville's machine is the perfect balance of hands-on and automated. User-friendly and well-designed, it’s the best espresso machine that I’ve tested.
Sleep
The big day isn’t for another few weeks, but some of the best Black Friday mattress deals are already dropping. So far, I’ve seen deep discounts on the Nectar Memory Foam Mattress, our best mattress for back pain: a Queen starts from $599.
I’m working closely with some of the best places to buy a mattress to secure exclusive discount codes for H&G readers, saving you more time and money this Black Friday. Shop with the code H&G27 at Birch and Helix to save 27% (rather than 20%) or head over to Bear and save 35% (instead of 30%) with our code H&G35.
Last year, I investigated if mattress sales are real and found that some sites are facing lawsuits for false advertising. When you’re shopping for mattress sales, it pays to keep your wits about you. I recommend you settle on a make and model of mattress, then compare and conquer, cross-checking the price across a range of retailers.
As for bedding, I’m hearing a lot of buzz over at Cozy Earth, who are launching their biggest sale ever this Black Friday. We should see daily flash sales and sitewide discounts, promising up to 45% off their sheets, blankets, and bedding bundles. Cozy Earth makes some of my favorite bedding, from their sumptuous Silk Pillow to their breathable Bamboo Comforter. I often hesitate to recommend their pieces, because they’re so expensive, but I feel much more confident with these discounts.'
Take a look at some of my top-rated sleep products below.
This medium-firm mattress is soft enough to cushion your pressure points yet sufficiently supportive to keep your spine in line. The high-density foam is ultra-durable, made to mold to your body then spring back into shape.
Our expert tester, Alexandra, started sleeping on the Tempur-Adapt Tempur-Topper back in the spring of 2022. Since then, she's moved back and forth across New York, bringing this topper to each apartment to soften up an uncomfortable rental mattress.
Floorcare
Let's face it: no one really wants to spend their hard-earned cash on a vacuum cleaner, and the good ones can cost hundreds of dollars, at least. That's why it's smart to wait until Black Friday when you'll be able to grab a premium model at a fraction of the price.
I cover sale events every year, and every Black Friday I see huge discounts from brands like Dyson, Shark, Bissell and Samsung. It's so certain that I would never recommend paying full price for a vacuum. Retailers are known for launching their site-wide sales, but a handy tip is to always visit the manufacturers themselves. Often, this is where you'll find the biggest reductions.
Last year, I saw discounts across some of the best vacuums we've ever tested, like the Dyson V15 Detect and the Shark Stratos, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're even cheaper this year.
Below are some of the best vacuums we've tested from Dyson and Shark.
This is the best vacuum you can buy, for all floor types. It may be expensive (fingers crossed for some good Black Friday deals) but there's nothing better.
This incredibly powerful cordless will utterly banish pet hair while picking up dirt that can't be seen with the naked eye.
Incredible suction and a lift-away mode that makes it easy to maneuver, with odor-neutralizing tech, an anti-allergen HEPA filter and a brushroll that avoids hair wrap.
Outdoor cooking
I've tested many of the top grills and pizza ovens, and as much as I love them, they're not always the cheapest.
It may feel a little strange buying outdoor appliances and gadgets in winter, but this time of year (and especially in the Black Friday sales) is actually the best time to do it, as it's when many big brands and retailers significantly drop their prices on all things outdoor.
So if you're looking to refresh your yard for next summer and elevate your hosting game, now might just be the best time to invest in a new grill or pizza oven. I'll be keeping my eye on Ooni deals, Gozney deals and more, to make sure you're getting the best discounts available on all things outdoor cooking, below are some of my top product picks.
This oven makes the best pizza we've ever tested. You can run it on wood, charcoal, or gas for maximum cooking versatility. It's energy-efficient, too, reaching 950°F in just 15 minutes.
This is a professional grill, loaded with bonus features. It makes delicious food and pairs with smartphones to help you grill, too.
This is the best gas grill on the market. It's easy to use and made the best food in our rounds of testing, perfect for the average outdoor cook.
Furniture and decor
Shopping for your home can get rather expensive, particularly if you're trying to furnish multiple spaces or are remodeling an entire home (like I am currently). So my best advice is to make the most of major sale days and, lucky for us, there are a quite few on the horizon this side of the New Year including the infamous Black Friday sales. Some of our most coveted retailers will be holding must-see sales so its time to sharpen those elbows and swot up on everything you need to know about the best deals.
As H&G’s style and trends editor, it’s my job to spend the best part of November scrolling, scouring, and bookmarking the best Black Friday home decor and furniture deals so you can be sure I’ve done all the homework ahead of the big day. In fact, I’ve done the hard work for you, so you can simply sit back and shop – take a look at some of my current favorite designs below.
You can even get ahead of the game with some early Black Friday deals. McGee & Co. currently have selected items in their Style The Season event, while some savvy shoppers might have spotted a Black Friday Preview over on Wayfair, and Anthropologie is currently offering up to 30% furniture, bedding, and decor to help you get ready for holiday hosting.
There's a reason the gorgeous Gleaming Primrose Mirror is a bestseller (not to mention social media famous). Timeless, elegant and vintage-inspired it can truly grow with a home for years to come.
Joanna's new Magnolia Home for Loloi rugs fall collection is filled with warm, lived-in patterns and tones. I love the vintage-inspired motifs and patterns with more modern, earthy colors on the Junie.
These coastal-inspired rattan sconces are such a steal at just under $90 for 2. Complete with a cotton-linen shade, these feel luxurious and handmade - no one would guess its Amazon home decor.
FAQs
Should you shop Black Friday early?
Black Friday deals can start dropping as early as November 1st (yes, you read that right). So, with that in mind, it's smart to wonder if you should hold out until the big day or shop Black Friday early. It can feel like a real lose-lose. If you buy now, you could miss out on the huge savings on the day itself, but if you wait too long, the gadget you've had your eye on all year could quickly sell out.
Leo Smigel, personal finance expert and founder of Analyzing Alpha says, 'while the conventional wisdom suggests waiting for the main event might secure the best bargains, this isn't necessarily true in today's retail climate. Black Friday, once a frantic day of retail madness, has morphed into a more protracted and accessible event'.
Not only is there little risk with buying early, you can even find some better deals. Last year we recommended a deal on one of the best vacuums for pet hair. The vacuum was a remarkably good deal; the price plummeted from $309.99 to $99, however, the price then jumped back up to $172, so it didn't pay off to wait.
Our advice ultimately boils down to a simple rule of thumb. If the product you're looking for is a necessity and you see a good early discount, we would recommend purchasing, but if the product is more of a 'nice-to-have', hold out until Black Friday and try your luck.
When is the best time to shop home deals?
There's always a home deal somewhere, that's the beauty of having so many sites and so many experts (like us) at your fingertips. While Black Friday tends to see the biggest discounts, it's not the only time to grab a discount. Major retailers are almost always selling off old stock at a discount, and every major federal holiday has its own sales event. The big events, such as Black Friday, holiday sales, Memorial Day, July 4th, Presidents' Day and Prime Day will have some of the best sales, but there's plenty to go around in between.
It's also worth remembering that good discounts will roll around on seasonal items in off-peak times. For example, if you want the latest grill or some chic outdoor furniture, you're best buying them during fall, when all the prices drop post-summer.
