The Black Friday sales mentioned in this post are now over, but will be back next year.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are officially over for this year, while many brands have extended their sales into December, the next big sales event will be the Boxing Day sales.
We have spotted many retailers simply changing the terminology of their sales event to 'seasonal savings', so there are still deals to be found ahead of Christmas. Black Friday will return on the last weekend of November in 2025. At Ideal Home, we've tested hundreds of products and tracked down where you could find the lowest prices on Black Friday as a guide for where you should be able to find the best savings.
I hunted around for deals on for the best mattresses, our Kitchen Appliances Editor Molly found savings to be had on the best air fryers we've tested at Ninja. The round-up below will show you some of the best Black Friday home deals and sales from 2024.

FAQs
How long does Black Friday last in the UK?
The Black Friday sales officially last from the 29th November and end today on the 2nd December with Cyber Monday. Many retailers have extended their sales into this week but many officially end tonight.
This year many retailers kicked off their Black Friday sales as early as the start of November, so there have been deals to snap up all month long.
Are Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday Deals any good?
Martin Lewis revealed that Black Friday is indeed the best time to save on Christmas gifts. Black Friday is a particularly great time to shop for mattresses, furniture, and kitchen appliances. Basically, any big-ticket item you've been putting off purchasing will probably have some money off.
However, as mentioned above Christmas shopping is when it really comes into its own as you'll usually find site-wide deals at The White Company, Argos or Lakeland. There are also strong deals to be had on Cyber Monday, the last day of the Black Friday sales, as some brands will drop the price of sale items even further.
Of course, it can be easy to get swayed by the urgency of big discounts and limited-time offers, but doing a little research before you buy can ensure you don't make a costly mistake by purchasing a product that doesn't quite fit your requirements.
That's where our 'best of' what to buy guides are here to help, curating a selection of the Ideal Home team's tried and tested favourites and offering plenty of buying advice to make sure you know exactly what specifications to look out for before you shop.
How can I avoid being ripped off on Black Friday?
‘It’s easy to get carried away, so make a list of what you want in advance,’ advises Danny Munday, general manager of HotUKDeals. It also pays to read reviews and compare prices of the models you like, so you know you’re getting a genuine deal. ‘Check the shipping costs before you order, too,’ adds Danny. ‘Some brands charge so much for postage, it cancels out any savings.’
Are Black Friday deals as good as they seem?
In short most of the time yes they are as it is the one time of year where most retailers run a discount, including brands we rarely hold sales. Black Friday is the rare exception you might find discounts on new products and bestsellers, in contrast to Boxing Day sales which usually focus on shifting excess stock.
However, we have seen some retailers increase the prices of items beforehand to make the deals look better on the day. So make a list before the day itself and compare prices, to make sure you're actually getting a good deal. We'll also be on hand to flag the most worthwhile deals.
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
Cyber Monday falls on the Monday directly after Black Friday, which this year will be tomorrow, Monday 2nd December.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is a digital-only discount shopping event that always takes place on the Monday following Black Friday. It started out as a tech-dominated event, however, in recent years we've seen homeware brands continue their deals over to Cyber Monday deals, rebranding it as 'Cyber Monday.'
Cyber Monday, was introduced for the first time only in 2005 to encourage people to shop online. With Black Friday becoming more than just a one-day event (more like one-week, if not month), the lines between Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping events have become somewhat blurred in recent years.
