A complete guide to the very best Labor Day sales on mattresses, vacuums, TVs, bedding and more

Of course we would normally recommend spending more than $65 on a mattress. After all, as with most products, when it comes to mattresses, you get what you pay for. But in this case, and for this price, it’s worth mentioning as one of the best deals at Walmart this Labor Day. If you’re in need of a first “big kid” bed for a little one or need a mattress for the bunk bed or trundle bed for your grandkids, this mattress is a perfectly fine option. 

In fact, most reviewers say it’s decent quality at this price point, especially for those types of use cases.

“Great price,” wrote one reviewer. “Been looking around for an affordable mattress for my kids bunk beds.”

“We were needing a mattress for the trundle bed in our granddaughters room and this fits nicely,” wrote one grandparent. “Easy transport being that it came rolled in the box. I must admit I was worried about the quality, even when unrolling it. The springs felt very prominent. But once unrolled and allowed to expand, it really isn’t bad.”

If this price isn’t enough to get you excited about this mattress, perhaps the fact that it has over 4,000 reviews will? 

Among affordable mattresses, this pillow top option from Zinus is, by far, the highest rated and best reviewed. It’s not hard to see why, with its generous coil system that supports your back and spine as you sleep, as well as the foam and cushioning pillow top. A 10-year warranty is included to help put even your mind to rest. 

“Honestly exceeded expectations!” wrote a reviewer. “Great quality. Firm but soft, very comfortable. This was purchased for the guest bedroom but I think it would be great for a daily sleeper.”

Prefer a firm sleep surface? Beautyrest’s ComforPedic uses gel memory foam with three layers of support for a more firm feel. The multi-layer design has reduced motion transfer and increased airflow to help prevent overheating. It’s also free of fiberglass. At 70% off, this is a total steal.

The right mattress can mean the difference between an okay night’s sleep or a great one. If you fancy yourself the Goldilocks of sleepers — needing something that’s neither too soft nor too firm — the Original Mattress from Tuft & Needle is a good place to start.

What makes this mattress unique is that it’s designed with a one-of-a-kind cooling gel as well as heat-conducting graphite material that makes for an incredibly comfortable and breathable night’s sleep. It’s an especially good design for those who consider themselves hot sleepers.

More than 25,000 shoppers swear by it with one reviewer saying it helped her chronic pain: “When I was traveling, I stayed in an Airbnb that had this mattress and I slept better than I had in years. As soon as I got home, we ordered one. I have much less disturbance to my sleep because I don’t have to shift my position constantly to stay comfortable!”

There’s nothing worse than being deep asleep and waking up to your partner climbing in or out of bed. That’s why Tuft & Needle’s Bestselling Mint Mattress is made specifically for couples who are side or back sleepers. It’s designed with a unique adaptive and pressure-relief foam for less motion transfer (meaning you’ll be spared from the disruptive bounce of your partners or pets in the middle of the night). Bonus: It includes a cozy knit cover that’s removable and washable.

More than 10,000 have given this mattress a five-star rating. One enthusiastic reviewer had this to say: “No matter how you sleep, it’s the most comfortable, weightless, delicious sleep you’ll ever know. Marshmallow-soft on top, but catches you just as you sink in and stabilizes. … I giggle like a child every time I get in bed, even after a month of having it because I cannot wait to snuggle in. The only problem you’ll have is not wanting to get up in the morning.

Make sure your bed is ready for autumn and winter with a seasonal down alternative duvet insert. This one is great for allergy sufferers as the down alternative fill won’t trigger any allergies in the way that down and duck feather fills might.

You can never have too many bookcases, right? This one is spacious, functional and super stylish. Its slick design means it’s nondescript enough to use in nearly any room in your house. Because it comes with equipment to secure the bookshelf to the wall, it’s a great option for parents and grandparents with little ones around. Several reviewers mention purchasing this shelf for their home office.

You can still have fresh herbs even if you don’t have a back garden or a green thumb. This AeroGarden Harvest is a small countertop indoor hydroponic herb garden that even those with brown thumbs will find easy to use. This starter kit includes six seed pods and liquid plant food to set you up for success.

In fact, I used to own this very same AeroGarden and loved how I could easily grow basil, thyme and mint right in my small Brooklyn kitchen. The only reason I no longer have one is because I moved across the pond!

This is an outrageous price for AirPods. While this isn’t a record-low price, it’s still a solid deal on a pair of AirPods, especially if you’ve been toying with getting a pair or need to replace your current pair.

I love the noise cancelling feature on these hfeadphones, which drowns out surrounding noise and distractions — perfect for working from, during your commute or in a bustling office.

Get the red color on sale for 40% off right now.

Generally speaking, we would say it’s probably better to spend more than $75 on a TV, but with a deal this good it has to be mentioned. 

Now here’s the thing: This small but mighty 32-inch smart TV isn’t going to have the best built-in speakers and it might run smoother with an external TV stick rather than relying on the built-in software that could make it lag over time. BUT. If you’re simply looking for an affordable, small TV that can be put in your kitchen, spare bedroom, or even the playroom, you truly can’t miss with this deal.

Plus, it has a 4.6-star rating among more than 20,000 reviewers on Amazon, who’ve been satisfied with its performance. Most reviewers mention that it’s a great TV, especially for the price.

Don’t let this vac’s light weight fool you — it’s a cleaning powerhouse, whooshing up embedded dirt, dust and debris from every surface in your home with what we imagine would be a smile on its face. Its Helix dirt separation system helps keep filters fresh and new for longer, and five height settings allow cleaning on almost any surface.

If you want the power of a Dyson but with the sturdiness of an old-style vacuum, this Big Ball version is a great option. It’s also one of Dyson’s most affordable models, especially when sales season rolls around — pun intended. 

“It’s light weight, small enough to fit in the same place as my upright and its suction is better than my upright,” according to one happy reviewer. “It’s also quieter.”

If you spend a lot of time driving, it’s inevitable that you’ll end up with a spill or two eventually. Make sure your car looks good as new afterward with the Bissell Little Green portable carpet cleaner, which removes spots and stains by lifting away messes from carpets, upholstery, car interiors and more. It has a strong spray and suction design that helps you target stuck-in stains and work them out.

More than 10,000 reviews on Walmart are obsessed with this stain-fighting tool. “After months of my kids trashing my car and spilling smoothies, milk, lemonade, etc., the backseats in my car looked awful,” said one parent. “I used this carpet cleaner for my seats and, wow, the difference speaks for itself.”

Pet owners understand that a good carpet cleaner is essential to make sure your home looks (and smells) its best. This carpet cleaner does the work of a much bigger machine like the ones you can rent, but this one you can store in your own cleaning closet! 

“I am absolutely in love with this carpet cleaner!!!” wrote one very enthusiastic reviewer. “I always had a Bissell but it never had the suction I needed for my low pile carpet. Let me tell you that this Hoover is amazing! Easy to fill and empty and the suction is so strong!”

Earlier this month we deep dived into why Walmart’s clothes are so good right now, particularly the collections from two of its in-house brands: Scoop and Free Assembly. This tie shoulder midi dress from Walmart’s Free Assembly collection is designed with flattering tie sleeves, comfortable fluttering tiered skirt and is available in sizes XS to 2X. 

On our mission to understand why Walmart’s clothes are so good right now, we uncovered a treasure trove of styles from Walmart’s in-house brand Free Assembly. Case in point: This buffalo plaid cropped utility jacket, that’s now currently on sale for about $10 off, just in time for autumn. Available in sizes XS to 2X.

Cargo pants are super in right now (even Oprah loves ’em!), so if you want to hop on the trend, this is a pretty low commitment to give themem a try. These, from Sofia Vergara’s clothing line, feature a high-rise waist, which flatters a variety of body types, and a smooth satin construction literally topped with a bow. They can be dressed up or down too — wear them with a tee to run your errands, or with a sleek blouse and statement jewelry for drinks with the girls. 

The full-coverage bra from Playtex is specially designed to give you the support you need for an entire day.

These T-shirts are available in sizes S to 5XL in a large selection of colors. Choose from two-packs all the way up to 72-packs (!) for whatever your needs are. 

These classic men’s Levi’s have slowly dropping in price throughout the month. They were around $38 on Black Friday, but now you can get them for less!

This super scrubber hunts down and eliminates plaque with its 40,000-vibrations-per-minute motor and removes up to 10 times more buildup than an ordinary toothbrush.

If your less-than-glowing teeth could use some restoration, these bestselling strips reportedly whiten teeth up to 20 shades in just 22 days — that’s almost one shade per day! According to the brand, you’re guaranteed to have a noticeably whiter smile, and with this kit, you’ll get some bonus express treatments for same-day results. 

Out of the over 66,000 5-star reviews, many have said they are pleased with the results. “After trying these strips, my teeth were visibly whiter and now I feel more confident overall,” wrote one reviewer. 

For this price, this is just about as low as they ever go on sale, which is why we’re dubbing them one of the few deals that’s really worth its salt this Labor Day.

Get your teeth extra clean with this affordable and easy-to-use cordless water flosser. Reviewers say it’s unbeatable at its price, giving it a 4.7-star rating.

A lighted makeup mirror is a handy tool for everything from applying eyeliner to tweezing a stray eyebrow hair. This one is 40% off — but the bargain isn’t even the best part. It offers three different lighting options and is easily rechargeable.

“The 10x magnification option is a game-changer for those close-up tasks that require precision and the three different options for light settings is very useful! It is easy to take apart and use as a travel light,” explained a shopper.

Last year, Jennifer Garner shared with InStyle that Hydro Boost is one of her favorite products.

“I can instantly tell the difference — it just looks fresh and plump and better. There are all these little micro-lines that once I put this on, they go away,” she said. “This is 48 hours of moisture that you’re locking in with one thing, and then I don’t have to worry about it. … I think it’s my favorite product we’ve ever put out.”

She’s been a devout Neutrogena fan over the years. So much so that she became an ambassador for the brand. 

Hydro Boost’s main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which binds water to the skin’s surface to help give you smoother, hydrated, more supple skin. The fast-acting gel moisturizer is also lightweight, oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it’s designed not to clog your pores.

If you realized this summer that you could really do with a nice ice chest, this Igloo one is a great choice now that it’s on sale. at 28 quarts, it’s large enough to hold up to 42 cans. The flip-handle makes it easy to transport, and it’s designed with a curve that hugs your side making it easy for one-arm carry. 

You don’t need a huge backyard to be able to make s’mores. This mini tabletop fire pit is the height of a bottle of soda and can be used as a portable fire pit whenever you need it. 

It’s ideal for patios, balconies and small gardens, and some reviewers even mention using it for camping. Some reviewers say it’s a great choice for when you don’t feel like building a full fire pit for a quick evening outside. 

“This is undoubtedly for you if you want a hassle-free, lovely, quick, smoke-free fire,” said a five-star reviewer. “With no effort, a lovely fire that burns for forty minutes may be created in five minutes.”

Of course, some occasions call for a full-sized fire pit, in which case this one from Walmart’s in-house brand Mainstays is an excellent deal for about $30. This bundle comes with a spark screen to prevent embers from rising into the air, and it includes a poker for adjusting burning wood.

Reviewers say it’s “very sturdy and constructed well” and “just the right size for a quiet evening outside.”

Rocking chairs are the ultimate backyard flex. This one from Mainstays has a traditional yet elegant slatted design that makes it look much more pricey than it actually is. It’s a great addition to your front porch, balcony or other outdoor covered space, but you can also use it indoors if you want. Grab two — one for you, one for your partner.

Don’t let that product description underwhelm you: This is a fire pit, a barbecue grill and a smoker. It features two tiers, allowing you to cook and smoke multiple items at once, with a damper system that makes it easy to control the heat level. There’s even a built-in thermometer that’ll let you know precisely what the cooking temps are.
