Best Things to Buy in February 2025

​​Don’t sleep on sales this month, especially if you’re interested in purchasing a new mattress. Beds are one of the big-ticket items that will go on deep discount in February, along with appliances and furniture. 

After January’s relatively quiet promotions, February brings an uptick in sales events as retailers look to heat up sales during the last full month of winter. Some of the biggest discounts will tie into Presidents Day weekend (Feb. 14-17). Like Memorial Day and Labor Day, the secular celebration presents an opportunity for retailers to slash prices on larger home purchases and for consumers to pounce on such deals.

Given the investment big-ticket products require, consider doing some research upfront to determine the model you’d like to purchase, suggests Sarah Jankowski, director of user growth and integrated marketing at Shopkick. “I would start now, so you don’t have to rush and make a decision to get something when it is on sale and then regret or return it later,” she says.

You’ll also find clearance sales in the second half of the month on Valentine’s Day merchandise that didn’t sell out before the holiday. 

Read on for a list of products that will go on sale this month.

Furniture

After discounting softer, smaller home goods in January, department stores shift their promotional focus this month to larger home-related purchases, like bedroom and dining-room sets. Also, many furniture-specific retailers host storewide sales for Presidents Day.

”The furniture retailers are clearing out their winter inventory for the new spring styles,” says Kimberly Palmer, a spokesperson and consumer expert at personal finance website Nerdwallet.

Potential savings: 40 percent to 50 percent

TVs, soundbars and streaming devices

With the Super Bowl taking place Feb. 9, retailers will continue to offer promotions they began last month for shoppers looking to upgrade their big screens ahead of the big game.

“Manufacturers are releasing new models timed to the Super Bowl, so you can often get really great discounts on older models,” Palmer says. “It’s definitely the best time to buy a television— more than any other time of the year, including Black Friday.”

Where to look for deals: Amazon, Samsung, Target

Potential savings: 40 percent to 50 percent

Mattresses

Ready for a new bed? Presidents Day mattress promotions frequently kick off a week earlier than the holiday itself and extend for up to a week after. “Mattress-specific stores, like Mattress Firm, are definitely worth checking out,” says Julie Ramhold, a consumer analyst at DealNews. “They’ll obviously have a bigger selection than some other stores.”

Warehouse stores like BJ’s Wholesale Club, Costco and Sam’s Club will also have deals on mattresses, Ramhold says.
