The best Cyber Week and Black Friday home deals - what to expect from next year's sales
How to shop the best of the Black Friday home deals
Recent updates
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.

Air fryer deals
The FlexDrawer is one of the best air fryers we've tested and after hunting around for the best deal we can confirm this is it on Amazon. It currently has a huge £70 discount applied, but it's only available in the copper colourway.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday is the cheapest time of year to pick up the highly-rated Ninja dual zone. The dual zone in the size has already sold out at Ninja and John Lewis thanks to this super low price, but it's still in stock at Argos and this is the lowest price they've ever had it. Act now as the sale ends at midnight.
It's all about the windows with this pick, our second favourite tried-and-tested dual-zone air fryer. If – like our testers – you prefer to be able to see your food as it crisps up, then the Instant Vortex is for you, and it is currently at its lowest price ever at Amazon.
The limited edition copper colourway is only available from Ninja for the Black Friday period. So if you love rose gold this is the time to snap it up. The model also includes the smart cook system which is a gamechanger for cooking any kind of meat to perfection.
Dehumidifier deals
This dehumidifier has a powerful extraction rate for its size, a relatively low energy consumption and is pretty compact; making it perfect for tackling damp issues in a smaller space. At its current sub £100 price point until midnight, we think this is a steal for one of Pro Breeze's bestsellers. Plus you can get free next day delivery.
The MeacoDry Arete One is one of our favourite dehumidifiers that we've tested. It's a fantastic all-rounder and far easier to find in stock than the upgraded Arete Two that was released this year.
A stylish dehumidifier is hard to come by, but this De'Longhi manages it. It is fantastic for drying clothes and is currently reduced by £60 for Black Friday.
Vacuum deals
Reduced by over £100, now is a great time to snap up the Shark Stratos which is one of the best vacuums we've tested at Ideal Home.
If you prefer an upright vacuum to a stick model, then this Shark vacuum is a great buy. It offers all the freedom of a cordless with the power of an upright, and its current discount makes it a good value investment.
Reduced by £100 at Argos for the Black Friday sales until it ends tonight at midnight, the Gtech AirRAM Platinum seriously impressed us when we tested it this year. It's powerful, easy to use with a great battery life.
Kitchen appliance deals
The Ninja Creami remains one of our favourite Ninja buys and for Black Friday only it is available in a unique copper colourway.
This is the best slow cooker we've ever tested.For your money, you get 8 functions packed in and it is currently reduced in time for soup and stew season.
Bedding deals
This already affordable electric blanket is now an even better price thanks to this deal. It may be no-frills, but it does the job and offers an economical way to stay warm this winter.
Laundry deals
We consistently rate the Lakeland Dry:Soon range as the best heated clothes airers, and for good reason. Dry your laundry more quickly and heat your space to boot with a handy £100 off. It is currently out of stock, but you can still pre-order it with these savings.
If you both steam and iron, this highly rated device does both in one, meaning one less gadget for you to have to worry about storing.
Cordless, sleek and now with a nice discount off, this is a fab iron to pick up today. And did we mention it's our #1 pick of the best irons after testing it?
If you're on a budget and are looking for a heated airer, jump on this deal at Robert Dyas. It is already an affordable buy, but at £30 it's now a steal.
Furniture deals
The Argos sale has now launched and includes 20% off Habitat furniture if you use the code FURN20 at checkout, including the super stylish and super affordable Roma sofa bed – best overall in our chair bed guide. It's great for small spaces and perfect for hosting guests on a budget.
The Kota sofa bed is already one of the most affordable in our best sofa beds guide, but at 20% off with code FURN20 it's an even better deal. Plus, it'll arrive before Christmas.
It's an investment, but this is one truly multifunctional sofa bed that's just as comfortable as everyday seating as it is for hosting guests – a rare find, and exactly why it's the top model in our best sofa beds guide. Shop it today to save an impressive £900.
A part of Sofa.com's collaboration with British fashion brand Jack Wills, the Jack sofa is a stylish mix of mid-Century modern and contemporary design with medium-soft foam seating. Upholstery options are limited, but with up to 60% off right now it's currently a very good deal.
Christmas deals
Habitat's Natural Upswept tree is one of their best sellers and is currently reduced by 20% in the 7ft style. The retailer even offers next day delivery.
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.
