Memorial Day weekend is underway, and many of our favorite brands and retailers are offering sitewide discounts on bestsellers we love. The holiday is a great time to save on a new mattress, fresh sheets or off-season apparel, according to experts in our Memorial Day shopping guide.
As someone who frequently covers sales for shopping events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Prime Day, I know how to parse good deals from lackluster ones. I’m also a seasoned tech reporter who frequently tests and reviews headphones, TVs and other products often on sale. Below, I rounded up our team’s favorite on-sale items across every major category. I’ll continue to update this list with new deals — prices and inventory may change throughout the weekend.

The best Memorial Day 2024 deals to shop now
All our recommendations are based on previous coverage, NBC Select staff favorites or expert-recommendations.
Best home, kitchen and appliance sales
Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 Purifying Fan
4.2-star average rating from 358 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Why have an air purifier or a fan when you can have both? This Dyson tower pulls unfiltered air from all around its base, then blows clean air out across your space. The fan can oscillate nearly 360 degrees, a useful feature if you want to place it in a corner or the center of a room. It also has a night mode that keeps the fan at its quietest speed.
Hydro Flask All Around Travel Tumbler
4.7-star average rating from 5,001 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
This water bottle is a daily staple at Malin’s desk and in workout classes. It holds more than enough water, and keeps any beverage temperature controlled for hours, she says. “I love the squishy straw and how easily the top pops off when I need to refill it.”
Material Mini ReBoard
4.9-star average rating from 518 reviews on Material Kitchen
NBC Select editor Lindsay Schneider received this double-sided, dishwasher-safe cutting board from the brand and it still looks clean and fresh after years of use. “It’s held up so well — I have a bunch of them that I alternate between,” she says. “They’re the perfect size too. I hate having to dirty a huge board when I just want to cut something small like a cucumber. These are perfect for that,” she says.
Material is having a sitewide sale for Memorial Day that includes other kitchen items we love like its Salt Sphere and Resting Stone.
Canopy Filtered Showhead
4.5-star average rating from 7,308 reviews on Amazon
A filtered shower head can remove chlorine, bacteria, dirt, debris and odors from your water before it reaches your skin, according to our experts, and can help protect your skin and hair from irritation. This Canopy model is easy to install, and is great for multiperson households because it has three spray settings: wide, narrow and dual, says NBC Select associate updates editor Zoe Malin.
It’s currently 15% off with code SUMMERGLOW.
Best travel sales
Bagsmart Hanging Toiletry Bag
4.8-star average rating from 53,829 reviews on Amazon
This travel toiletry bag does double duty for NBC Select editor Mili Godio, who also uses it as a makeup organizer. It has compartments big and small, folds up to a relatively small size and has a convenient top handle for carrying, too, according to Godio.
Samsonite Freeform Medium Spinner
4.5-star average rating from 3,199 reviews on Samsonite
This spinner is lightweight yet indestructible, according to NBC Select managing editor Leah Ginsberg. You can expand this four-wheeled hard-shell suitcase by 1.5 inches when needed (via zipper). It comes in multiple colors — I have a similar model in lavender and it’s easy to spot at baggage claim among the sea of black suitcases. (It also has a built-in ID tag.)
Everlane Renew Transit Weekender
4.7-star average rating from 242 reviews on Everlane
A weekender bag is the perfect size for a quick getaway without the bulk or needing to roll a carry-on suitcase. This is one of our favorites; it’s made with recycled polyester from recycled plastic bottles and has a padded interior laptop sleeve, two water bottle holders, an outside zip pocket and an adjustable shoulder strap, according to EVerlane. All in all, it has a 33 liter carrying capacity.
Best mattress and bedding sales
Brooklinen Classic Percale Core Sheet Set
4.4-star average rating from 17,679 reviews on Brooklinen
Our staff voted these the best bed sheets in our Bed and Bath Awards — particularly for their cooling properties. “As a hot sleeper, I felt cool and comfortable sleeping on these — they definitely don’t absorb my body heat like others do,” says Malin. They feel a bit stiff to start, but soften up after a wash or two, in our experience.
Bear Pro Hybrid Mattress
4.4-star average rating from 55 reviews on Bear
NBC Select SEO editor Nikki Brown says this hybrid mattress (which she received from the brand years ago) relieves her sore muscles post-workout more than other ones she’s tried. She is a back and side sleeper, and finds both positions comfortable — the mattress hits a great balance between firm and cushioned. It’s made with a cooling gel memory foam that makes the mattress extra breathable and has a lifetime warranty, according to the brand.
The Citizenry Stonewashed Linen Sheet Set
4.5-star average rating from 538 reviews on The Citizenry
These are our favorite linen sheets because they’re soft, lightweight and cooling. “I’m a hot sleeper and these feel so light — I didn’t feel hot or sweaty once throughout the night,” says NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez. They’re available in more than ten colors and come with a linen bag for storage if you want to swap them out for something heavier during wintertime.
Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress
4.5-star average rating from 6,857 reviews on Helix
Helix is one of our favorite brands for both firm and soft mattresses. This model is a medium-firm mattress ideal for side-sleepers, according to the brand. It’s 13.5-inches tall (a little taller than a standard piece of printing paper) with six foams layers wrapped around a central layer of coils. It comes included with two pillows during this Memorial Day sale.

Best beauty and wellness sales
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen
5-star average rating from 3,615 reviews on Supergoop
Supergoop makes some of the best sunscreens — our editors love its clear, glossy consistency that goes on without stickiness. “It never leaves me oily, which I consider a huge pro when it comes to SPFS,” says Schneider, who’s been using it for years. “It’s completely clear and also works as a great primer under makeup.”
EltaMD UV Sport Sunscreen Lotion
4.7-star average rating from 10,139 reviews on Amazon
This gentle sunscreen is one of the best for acne-prone skin and rosacea. Godio, who has rosacea, thought she was allergic to sunscreen before trying sunscreen from EltaMD — it doesn’t irritate her skin at all. The formula is water-resistant, noncomedogenic, oil-free and fragrance-free.
Best tech sales
Apple iPad Air (5th Gen)
4.7-star average rating from 631 reviews on Walmart
Lowest price ever
Apple released new iPads earlier this month, which might be why this 5th Generation model is at its lowest price ever. It originally launched in 2022, and still remains an excellent tablet with a bright screen, zippy performance and great stereo speakers on each side. I love traveling with it — it is thin and light, and barely adds weight to my travel backpack.
Roku Streaming Stick 4K
4.7-star average rating from 74,807 reviews on Amazon
This is one of the easiest streaming devices to use in my experience. Both NBC Select editorial operations manager Shari Uyehara and I use it to watch our favorite shows on Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+ and more. Of all the smart home devices I’ve used, I find Roku the easiest to install and navigate — it took me less than five minutes to set this one up.
Apple Airpods (2nd Gen)
4.7-star average rating from 614,990 reviews on Amazon
There is a reason so many iPhone owners use AirPods — they pair seamlessly with Apple devices without causing headaches around setup. This second generation model is great for people who don’t like earbuds blocking their ear canal — they have a slightly open fit with no rubber eartip attached. They come with a charging case that, when paired with the earbuds, give them more than 24 hours of battery life, according to the brand.
Best apparel and shoe sales
Parachute Cloud Cotton Robe
4.2-star average rating from 2,380 reviews on Parachute
Voted best robe in our Bed and Bath Awards, this 100% long-staple Turkish cotton unisex robe is comfortable, soft and warm, but not too thick or fluffy, in our experience. It falls just below the knees, and is easily adjustable with the attached tie. It’s a great all-season robe, says Malin.
Cotopaxi Teca Fleece Full-Zip Jacket
4.6-star average rating from 339 reviews on Cotopaxi
Cotopaxi’s jackets help me get through the cold New York City winter in comfort and style. This fleece layer is made with a 100% recycled polyester fleece and has elastic bindings around the hem and cuffs. It has two front hand pockets, and is available in men’s and women’s sizing.
Feetures Elite Max Cushion No Show Socks
4.8-star average rating from 860 reviews on Feetures
These socks are great for walking, running, lounging and everything in-between. They are cushioned without being stuffy, and have reinforced fabric around the heel to pull them on and off more easily. They are available in men’s and women’s sizing.
