We’re springing into sales this season. First, it was Amazon’s inaugural Big Spring Sale in March. Now, as April is in full bloom, Wayfair is joining the soiree of sales for shoppers to score.
Here at Post Wanted, we’ve been following the retailer’s flash sales and furniture happenings for as long as we can remember. Typically, Wayfair hosts its much-anticipated Way Day event at least once a year, with confirmed dates exclusively shared with The Post.
For the first time ever, Wayfair is hosting Way Day May 4 through 6, with previews beginning now. Whether you’re shopping for a sectional sofa or a brand-new coffee table, Wayfair, as its commercial sings, has just what we need.

To help equip you with all there is to know about Way Day this year and scoring the best furniture deals of the season, we compiled everything we know so far. After all, it isn’t our first rodeo, and we’re just as jazzed about sprucing up our humble abodes as you are.
What is Way Day?
Way Day is Wayfair’s biggest sales event of the year. Prices are typically up to 80% off across the lion’s share of its categories, from furniture and kitchen to outdoor and decor.
In essence, Way Day is Wayfair’s grand foray into the world of retailer-hosted sales, much like Amazon’s full-fledged Prime Day event each year. The first Way Day hit the e-commerce market in 2018 — and we’ve been shopping and reporting on what to buy and how to take full advantage of the event ever since.
How long is Way Day?
Way Day is typically a two-day event, though the Post Wanted team anticipates there will be a roster of exceptional deals during its preview, which typically takes place the week before the event officially kicks off. Even better, Wayfair treats all of its customers to free shipping for the entirety of Way Day.
Does Way Day have good deals?
Way Day is home to Wayfair’s largest deals of the year, with almost everything on sale. This is the ideal time to pick up not only furniture pieces but other costly items, like coffee makers, mattresses and vacuums.
In recent years, we’ve noticed especially impressive markdowns on sleeper sofas, outdoor fire pits and pool lounge chairs. Pro tip: you’ll also want to explore a specific item’s product page to unlock maximum savings. Sometimes, Wayfair offers different prices based on the color, pattern or size of the item.
Oh, and to optimize your sales-scoring potential, pay special attention to Wayfair’s in-house brands like AllModern, Birch Lane and Joss & Main. But, you can still find wonderful deals from popular third-party brands like Beautyrest, KitchenAid, Kohler and more.
