Savvy shoppers know that Wayfair’s Way Day is one of the best times of the year to save on furniture, decor, and more, whether you’re sprucing up your space in time for patio season or investing in big-ticket items like outdoor sofas and dining sets. Good news: Wayfair just announced that Way Day will run from Saturday, April 25 to Monday, April 27. But as an editor who has covered the sale for years, I’m letting you in on a secret: the best deals are already here.
I can confirm that Way Day has some of the steepest furniture discounts of the whole year, making it a great time to check those home upgrades off your to-do list. My best piece of advice? Shop early. I’ve found that deals hold steady in the weeks leading up to Way Day—so there’s no need to wait around for the official sale to start. Today, I’m already seeing discounts of up to 81% off patio sets, area rugs, and even Good Housekeeping Institute-tested bedding.

Best Way Day Deals Under $50
Fact: you don’t have to spend a fortune to refresh your home this season. Wayfair’s sale section is brimming with budget-friendly finds under $50, from a storage ottoman that doubles as extra seating to a pretty printed area rug (note that price varies by size and length). I was delighted to find a deal on this duvet cover set from Bedsure, which we named a GH Bedding Award winner in 2023.
Best Way Day Deals Under $100
The under-$100 section of Way Day seems to be the sale’s sweet spot; I found plenty of furniture and decor deals up to 81% off. The steepest discount is on this top-rated arched mirror from Latitude Run, which remains a popular pick among GH readers for its convenient freestanding design. I also spotted an impressive 65% discount on a three-piece patio set—it’s made from a faux rattan material, which is designed to resist water and UV damage while giving the woven look of real rattan.
Best Way Day Deals Under $250
Solid wood furniture can cost a pretty penny, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a handful of pieces on sale for under $250. That includes a mid-century modern platform bed, an Acacia wood patio set with washable cushions, and a stunning two-drawer side table that looks way more expensive than it is.
If you’re in the market for a new area rug, you’re also in luck: a selection of rugs from Loloi’s collaboration with Rifle Paper Co. are over 50% off. This best-selling collection is beloved for its elegant floral prints and low-pile, easy-to-clean designs, like this cream and blue pick.

Way Day is also a great time to invest in spendier pieces like sofas and dining sets since you’ll get the most bang for your buck. Case in point: you can save over $300 on this wicker and acacia wood patio set right now. It seats up to six people, so it’ll be perfect for hosting intimate dinner parties this summer.
Personally, I have my eye on the Mercury Row six-drawer dresser; it has a solid pine material and sophisticated mid-century modern silhouette. The dresser is on sale in five colors, but I’m partial to this warm caramel stain.
