We’ll be keeping our eyes on evolving MLK Day deals through the weekend and will add them as they arrive.
Alongside Martin Luther King Day, brands and retailers will announce slashed prices and weekend sales. Unlike several other holidays, though, this one isn’t particularly known for one type of sale over another. There is a seasonal set of discounts that any MLK Day weekend shopper should keep in mind, however, says Michael Bonebright, a senior blog editor at DealNews.com.
January is commonly known to bring out “white sales,” old-timey bedding deals on linen that might have needed replacing after the holidays. And according to Bonebright — who’s been in the deals research space for nearly nine years — these white sales have since evolved into sales on home basics, meaning you’ll now be able to save on more than just sheets: Think bedspreads, pillows, towels, duvets and duvet covers and so on. And you’ll be able to choose from multiple retailers, he added, “mostly from department stores.” Here are some of those department stores Bonebright recommends for the best broad sales:
“You tend to see the best deals on linens,” Bonebright advised, adding you’ll save the most on “piecemeal” bedroom products rather than full-on bedroom sets and mattresses, which he advised you shouldn’t shop for until February’s President’s Day sales.
So which bedding and bedroom deals should you pay attention to? Here are some of the best to consider, both from larger retailer and smaller ones inching into the market:
We’ve covered Brooklyn Bedding’s American-made bedding before and this deal is likewise noteworthy. The waterproof and hypoallergenic design of the protector is designed to fight off bacteria, bed bugs and dust mites. The protector deal is part of the larger Brooklyn Bedding MLK Day Weekend sale.
