Presidents’ Day weekend is one of the first major shopping events of the year. It arrives as retailers clear winter inventory, refresh furniture collections, and compete for shoppers ready to make large purchases.
The best Presidents’ Day deals are usually found on mattresses, major appliances, furniture, bedding, winter clothing, and selected older-model electronics. Spring apparel, patio furniture, and newly released technology are generally better purchased later.
This guide explains what to buy, what to skip, when sales begin, how to compare prices, and which retailer policies matter before placing a large order.
Accuracy note: Presidents’ Day promotions for 2027 have not happened yet. Discount amounts, sale dates, coupon codes, inventory, and retailer policies may change. Confirm the final price and terms on the retailer’s official website before buying.
When Is Presidents’ Day 2027?
Presidents’ Day 2027 falls on Monday, February 15. The holiday is observed on the third Monday of February.

Presidents’ Day is primarily a home-and-winter shopping event. If your list includes a mattress, refrigerator, sofa, or winter coat, this weekend may be worth watching.
Why These Sales Matter
Several retail cycles overlap in February:
-
Stores are clearing winter clothing and equipment before spring inventory arrives.
-
Furniture retailers are preparing for new spring collections.
-
Mattress brands compete heavily during one of the year’s strongest bedding periods.
-
Retailers discount older televisions and electronics as newer models enter the market.
-
Home retailers use holiday promotions to encourage large purchases before Memorial Day sales begin.
The sale label is not enough to prove that a product is inexpensive. Compare the current price with recent selling prices and include delivery, installation, and other fees.
Best Presidents’ Day Purchases
Mattresses
Mattresses are one of the strongest categories to watch. Presidents’ Day promotions often include discounts, free accessories, financing offers, and “king for queen” promotions.
Sales frequently begin before the holiday weekend, and the price may not improve on the holiday itself. If a mattress reaches your target price early, buying sooner may protect you from a sellout or an expired promotion.
Before purchasing, compare:
-
The final price of the exact model.
-
Sleep-trial length.
-
Return and pickup fees.
-
Warranty coverage.
-
Delivery fees.
-
Foundation or bed-frame requirements.
-
Financing terms.
Do not rely only on a large advertised percentage discount. Mattress brands may calculate discounts against a list price that is rarely charged.
Browse the SavePlus mattress deals page for current offers.
Major appliances
Presidents’ Day is a useful time to compare refrigerators, washers, dryers, ranges, dishwashers, and other large appliances. Bundles may offer better value than individual products, especially when retailers include gift cards, delivery, installation, or haul-away.
When comparing prices, include:
-
Delivery.
-
Installation.
-
Required parts.
-
Old-appliance removal.
-
Extended warranty costs.
-
Financing charges.
-
Return or restocking fees.
A lower product price may not be the better deal if another retailer includes installation and haul-away.
Inspect appliances immediately
Some retailers require customers to report damage or defects within a short period. Policies vary, so confirm the current rules before ordering.
The Home Depot return policy, Lowe’s return policy, Best Buy return and exchange policy, and Amazon returns policy may apply different deadlines and conditions.
When the appliance arrives:
-
Inspect the packaging before accepting delivery.
-
Check for dents, scratches, and damaged parts.
-
Confirm the model and included accessories.
-
Test the appliance as soon as possible.
-
Report damage or defects immediately.
-
Keep delivery paperwork and photographs.
Compare current offers through the Home Depot coupons page, Lowe’s coupons page, and Best Buy coupons page.
Furniture and rugs
Furniture and rugs are common Presidents’ Day promotions. Look for discounts on:
-
Sofas and sectionals.
-
Dining sets.
-
Bed frames.
-
Dressers.
-
Office furniture.
-
Area rugs.
-
Outdoor furniture closeouts.
Furniture discounts can appear larger than the actual savings because retailers may compare them with an inflated list price. Compare the delivered price of the exact item across retailers.
Also check:
-
Delivery fees.
-
Assembly costs.
-
Restocking charges.
-
Return shipping.
-
Damage-reporting deadlines.
-
Final-sale restrictions.
Bedding, sheets, and towels
Presidents’ Day sales can provide a second opportunity to buy bedding and bath products after January’s traditional white sales.
Compare:
-
Fabric and material.
-
Mattress depth.
-
Set contents.
-
Thread count claims.
-
Towel weight and size.
-
Return terms for opened packages.
Visit the SavePlus home and bedding deals page before buying.
Winter clothing and boots
February is a useful time to shop for coats, boots, gloves, thermal layers, ski clothing, and hiking gear. Retailers want to clear cold-weather merchandise before spring products take over.
Shop earlier if you need a specific size or color. Wait until later in the season for deeper markdowns if you are flexible.
For additional savings, check the SavePlus clothing coupons page.
Televisions and older-model electronics
Technology discounts are real but selective. Presidents’ Day promotions often focus on older models that retailers want to clear rather than the newest releases.
Before buying:
-
Match the exact model number.
-
Compare screen size and panel technology.
-
Check ports, refresh rate, and smart features.
-
Review included accessories.
-
Compare the price with Black Friday and January pricing.
-
Check the warranty and return window.
A television is not necessarily a bargain because it has a Presidents’ Day label. Browse the SavePlus electronics deals page and compare the exact model before ordering.
What to Skip
Spring apparel and footwear
February promotions on spring clothing may be limited. Deeper discounts often appear later, when retailers need to clear spring merchandise for summer inventory.
Grills and patio furniture
Some retailers may offer early-season promotions, but the lowest prices generally appear later in the year, when stores clear outdoor inventory.
Buy during Presidents’ Day only if the product is a genuine closeout and you are confident about the price.
Gardening supplies
Gardening products are often priced more competitively later in the growing season. Unless you find a verified clearance deal, waiting may be better.
Brand-new technology
Newly released phones, laptops, televisions, and other devices rarely receive their deepest discounts during Presidents’ Day. Consider Prime Day, back-to-school sales, or Black Friday for newer technology.
Unplanned purchases
A 60% discount on an item you do not need is not a saving. Shop from a specific list and set a maximum price before browsing.

How to Verify a Deal
1. Check the price history
Use a price tracker or browser extension to review the item’s recent prices. A Presidents’ Day price that matches the product’s January price may not be a meaningful discount.
2. Match the exact model
This is especially important for televisions and appliances. Similar model names can conceal differences in capacity, features, included accessories, and warranty coverage.
3. Calculate the complete cost
Include:
-
Product price.
-
Sales tax.
-
Shipping.
-
Delivery.
-
Installation.
-
Haul-away.
-
Required accessories.
-
Financing charges.
-
Return fees.
4. Read the return policy
Mattresses may have sleep trials, while appliances and furniture may have short damage-reporting periods or restocking fees. Clearance products may be final sale.
5. Compare the final value
A slightly higher price may be worthwhile if it includes free delivery, installation, a longer warranty, or easier returns.
How to Stack Savings
Once you confirm that the base price is competitive, look for additional savings:
-
Start with the sale price.
-
Review exclusions for mattresses, appliances, clearance items, and bundles.
-
Activate cash back before checkout.
-
Look for retailer gift-card bonuses.
-
Use a rewards card with purchase protection or extended warranty benefits, if appropriate.
-
Confirm that every discount appears in the final order summary.
For a detailed explanation of combining discounts, read the SavePlus coupon-stacking guide.
Coupons may not apply to major appliances, mattresses, clearance items, or marketplace products. Do not assume a code works until the discount appears in your cart.

FAQs
When is Presidents’ Day 2027?
Presidents’ Day is Monday, February 15, 2027. Retailers may run promotions throughout the weekend, with some offers beginning weeks earlier.
Is Presidents’ Day a good time to buy a mattress?
Yes. Mattresses are one of the strongest categories during Presidents’ Day promotions. Look for discounts, “king for queen” offers, accessories, and favorable trial terms. Compare the final price and return policy rather than the advertised percentage off.
Are Presidents’ Day appliance deals better than Black Friday?
They can be competitive, particularly for appliance bundles. Presidents’ Day may also include installation, haul-away, or gift-card incentives. Compare the exact model’s price history and total delivered cost.
What should I avoid buying on Presidents’ Day?
Spring apparel, grills, patio furniture, gardening supplies, brand-new technology, and products you cannot verify against a recent price history are generally better purchased later or skipped.
How long do I have to report appliance damage?
The deadline depends on the retailer and product. Some retailers require damage or defects to be reported within 48 hours, while others provide different return periods. Check the current policy before ordering and inspect the appliance immediately after delivery.
Do Presidents’ Day sales continue after the holiday?
Some retailers extend promotions into the following week, but inventory may be limited and discounts are not guaranteed to improve. If an item reaches your target price, buying earlier may be safer.
Can I use coupons on mattress and appliance deals?
Sometimes, but exclusions are common. Major appliances, mattresses, bundles, clearance products, and marketplace items may not qualify. Apply the code and confirm the discount appears in the final total.
Should I wait for Memorial Day?
If you do not need the product immediately, Memorial Day may provide another major sale period. However, Presidents’ Day discounts can be competitive, and waiting several months may not produce meaningful savings—especially if you need the item now.
Final Takeaway
Presidents’ Day is best for planned purchases in home and winter categories. Focus on mattresses, appliances, furniture, bedding, winter clothing, and older-model electronics. Skip spring merchandise, patio products, new technology, and any deal you cannot verify.
Start tracking prices in late January, compare the complete cost, and buy when an item reaches your target price. Before checkout, review coupons, cash-back terms, delivery details, and return policies.
