The Wayfair Way Day sale typically happens twice a year: spring and fall. You'll see daily deals revealed every 24 hours, plus you'll get free shipping sitewide. Honestly, it's the best Way Day sale you'll find before Wayfair Black Friday.

We last saw Way Day in April, and we expect it back in October, with savings up to 80% (or sometimes even more).

Wayfair Way Day is a semi-annual, 3-day sale offering best-of-the-year discounts on home furnishings.

Think of it like Wayfair’s answer to Amazon Prime Day. Twice a year, Wayfair offers better-than-Black-Friday discounts across all categories on their website, including deals on furniture, home decor, appliances, lighting, kitchenware, bedding, rugs, and outdoor furniture. Way Day always starts out officially as a three-day sale, but it sometimes gets extended. In April 2025, the sale ran for five days, thanks to a two-day extension.

KCL predicts the next Way Day sale will start Oct. 4, 2025

Wayfair Way Day 2025 dates

How do we make our prediction?

At KCL we like to look at historical data to inform our predictions for sale dates. Here are some dates from the last several Way Day sales.

Fall Way Day

  • Oct. 5, 2024

  • Oct. 25, 2023

  • Oct. 26, 2022

Spring Way Day

  • April 26, 2025

  • May 4, 2024

  • April 26, 2023

In 2024, Wayfair matched the timing of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale in October, and we expect it'll do the same again, starting the first Saturday of the month (Oct. 4).

Best Wayfair Way Day Deals From the Last Sale

For an idea of what to expect during the next Way Day, here are some of our favorite deals from the spring sale in April 2025.

What makes Way Day worth shopping?

Way Day is worth shopping, given the size of the discounts (up to 80% off) and the number of deals (products across the entire site are discounted). It's a smart time to shop big-picture stuff like furniture as well as smaller things like lighting fixtures. A wide range of rugs are also discounted. And there's usually a seasonal element to the sale, with the spring sale offering discounts (usually 50% off) on patio furniture, meaning you can save on stuff you need for this season instead of waiting until end-of-season sales.

Is Way Day better than Wayfair's Black Friday Sale?

They're about the same in terms of the highest discount (up to 80% off). We looked at the deals offered during Wayfair's 2024 Black Friday sale and its most recent Way Day sale, and found that they were pretty similar with up to 80% off on rugs and some fixtures and 60% - 70% off a wide range of furniture. However, if you're after patio furniture and outdoor decor, the spring Way Day sale is a better sale to shop because you'll find discounts (usually 50% off) and a much bigger selection than during Black Friday. Meanwhile, in 2024, the Black Friday sale had a slight edge on mattresses (up to 65% off vs. up to 60% off during Way Day).

In short, they're both solid sales and it depends on what you're shopping for.

Way Day 2025 Shopping Secrets: Expert Tips for Better Deals

Get ready for the spring Way Day sale with some easy shopping tips to make the most of the event.

1. Get 24 hours of early access to deals on the Wayfair app.

Wayfair app users sometimes get a special perk: An early chance to shop Way Day deals the day before the sale starts for everyone not on the app. This is the best way to make sure you get the deals before they’re gone.

2. Expect free shipping on practically EVERYTHING during Way Day.

Yes, you heard that right. Wayfair offers free shipping on everything during their Way Day sale.

Of course, there are a few exceptions to the Wayfair free shipping offer; some items do have shipping charges either per item or order amount. But for the most part, you’ll get your Way Day buys delivered for free.

Wayfair normally offers free shipping on orders over $35 during non-sale times.

3. Keep an eye open for thousands of flash sales.

We’ve seen Way Day Flash Deals like TV stands and tables from $85, major appliances from $350, and curtains from $6.45. Wayfair also runs deals on specific brands, like up to 50% off Kohler products and a free $50 gift card when you buy select Bissell products.

4. Create a Wayfair wishlist ahead of time to easily see if your most wanted item is on sale.

If you don’t already have one, create a Wayfair List by signing in to your Wayfair account (it's free) and start adding items. When you come back during Way Day, you’ll see which deals are available on the products you love most.

5. Plan your Way Day strategy by scouting out the best deals early each day before they're gone.

Always check out the Way Day deals early because let’s be real — deals this good won’t last long. Wayfair launches new deals each day during the sale, and if you check them out early, you have a better chance at buying the best ones.

6. Look for deals on Wayfair’s sister sites too: Joss & Main, Birch Lane, and AllModern.

Wayfair owns three other major online furniture and decor brands: Joss & Main, Birch Lane, and AllModern. During the spring Way Day sale, all three stores typically offer up to 50% off sitewide, plus free shipping on everything. In October, we've seen up to 70% off at all three retailers.

7. Know that Wayfair credit card holders get $40 off their first purchase of $250 or more.

The standard Wayfair credit card deal is $40 off qualifying purchases of $250 or more. Benefits include 5% back in rewards on Wayfair purchases and no-interest financing on qualifying orders.

8. Consider joining Wayfair's (paid) rewards program if you plan to spend $580 or more

Wayfair's rewards program costs $29 a year. Members get 5% back in rewards, meaning it would take you $580 in spending to earn back that $29 fee. So if you're planning to buy big-ticket items during Way Day and go past that $580 mark, it could be worth signing up for the rewards program (especially if you plan to shop Wayfair after the sale, like during the next Way Day in the fall or during Black Friday).

9. Prepare for Way Day 2025 with the KCL app.

You don't have to remember that Way Day starts April 26, because we can remind you. Get our free Krazy Coupon Lady app and hit the calendar icon to set up notifications for Way Day. We'll send a push notification to your phone when the sale goes live.
