Black Friday might be over for 2022, but we definitely saw some incredible deals. While you wait patiently for Black Friday 2023, we'll be here sifting through the deals throughout the year. Next up, we're on the lookout for the after Christmas sales. Some of these sales are already live, but most retailers will start discounts on the 26th of December. Then, your next chance will be Amazon Prime Day which is usually in July but this date could change.
Otherwise, this Black Friday we saw everything from the Our Place pan for $95, to Instant air fryers for $35, and pretty much everything in between. In short: we sifted through hundreds of products at all-star prices that we've never seen so cheap. As always, Black Friday remains the best time of the year to buy anything new for your home. This includes mattress sales as they are always at their best in November.

When is Black Friday?
Black Friday was on November 25th in 2022. It's always the Friday after Thanksgiving. In 2023, it falls on the 24th November.
When is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday was on November 28th in 2022, and in 2023 it's the day before, on November 27th. As always, Black Friday deals will still be live until midnight on Cyber Monday, so that will be your last chance.
What is Black Friday? What is Cyber Monday?
Black Friday started in the United States. The term had previously been used for bad economic events like Friday, September 24th, 1969 when a group of financiers tried to manipulate the gold market, leading to an economic crash. Then the name was applied to the shopping chaos that happened in Philadelphia on the Friday after Thanksgiving in 1961. Since then, the name has stuck. With many people taking this day off and using it to begin their Christmas shopping, it is one of the busiest days in the commercial calendar, both in malls and online.
Black Friday is no longer just a US phenomenon — it's gained unstoppable momentum in the UK over recent years, too. Along with Cyber Monday, both events are loved by bargain hunters as they offer the chance to make big savings on everything from tech to furniture. With Black Friday weekend falling around a month before Christmas, it is a great opportunity to nab Christmas gifts and winter deals, too.
When will the Black Friday deals start?
Usually, we start to see Black Friday deals around two weeks before the day and more deals launching on Cyber Monday. The majority of mattress retailers tend to set their sales live ahead of time, but selected retailers will wait until the day to release their deals.
What's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Not much, really. Many deals run from Black Friday through to Cyber Monday and beyond. Once upon a time, Black Friday was mostly in stores whereas Cyber Monday took place online and different products could be found marked down in each sale. Now, you can get great deals on everything across the entire weekend, both online and in-store.
What can you buy for your home on Black Friday?
Plenty of items! From mattresses to reed diffusers to new sofas, it's possibly the best time of the year for shopping. With homeware brands ever more attuned to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday hum, big markdowns often come from numerous fan-favorite brands throughout the week.
Top tips for getting the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals
1. Sign up for mailing lists
Subscribe to newsletter lists from your favorite retailers to be informed of deals as they drop. You can also sign up for our newsletter because we'll be sharing the best home deals we find during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, too.
2. Be prepared to research
Ensure that you stay one step ahead of other shoppers by frequently browsing some of the top retailer websites. Cyber Monday deals are almost exclusively online, meaning it's good to start saving items to your wishlists or carts now. So, when it comes time to checkout, you've already laid the groundwork for success.
3. Check out the lesser-known brands:
The biggest brands may have the buying power to offer the best discounts, but they will also be the busiest sites, and stock is likely to go quickly. Look for lesser-known retailers (check their reviews on Trustpilot first) and see if they have the products you are after.
How to shop safely during Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Just as you would normally, ensure you're shopping securely. Paying by credit card will give you more protection than paying by debit card. If you pay with PayPal or another third-party payment service, you may not be eligible for these payment protections.
