Before jumping into the best Boxing Day and January home deals you need to know two things. The first is great news as you will find some incredibly low prices, however, the less good news is most of the sales are focused on end-of-season products that retailers are looking to shift (hence the super low deals).
This combination is not necessarily a bad thing, but what it means is it's very easy to buy something that sounds like a great deal but is a product you would never have usually bought under normal circumstances. That is where this guide comes in to help you find the best air fryers, best dehumidifiers and even the best vacuum cleaners on offer in the post-Christmas winter sales.
I've done the homework for you with the help of the Ideal Home team. Together we have found all the retailers offering Boxing Day and New Year's Day sales and searched through them to find the best deals on offer on some of our favourite tried-and-tested products. As Ideal Home's Sleep Editor, I've seen some of the best mattresses from Emma drop in price, and our Room Decor Editor has spotted deals on the best sofas at Habitat and John Lewis.
Here is everything you need to know before you start shopping.

Sofa deals
Boxing Day and January are the best times to snap up a deal on a sofa. Many brands, such as Next, don't participate in the Black Friday sale but do have post-Christmas deals. These are some of the sofas we've found on offer.
The Hendricks sofa is made to order and available in 21 different fabric options. To sweeten the deal even more on this affordable sofa, Habitat is offering 30% off on its made-to-order sofas and armchairs. with the code SOFA30.
This sofa bed is an investment, but it is one of the few that is both comfortable as everyday seating and for sleeping on. This is why it is the top model in our best sofa beds guide and the bestselling sofa on the Ideal Home website in 2024.
Our top-rated leather sofa, the John Lewis Halo Groucho, is already one of the more affordable leather sofas on the market, but it is now reduced by 20% in the dark London Leather colourway.
If you're looking for a traditional style sofa, The Lounge Co. Bronwyn sofa is both comfy and stylish. Plus it has been reduced by £400 in the sales.
The Jack sofa is already one of Sofa.com's most affordable sofas, but in the sale, it is an impressive £400. We've sat on it and can attest that it looks good and is also super comfortable.
Bedding and mattress deals
If your New Year's resolution is to sleep better, then now is a great time to hunt out a new mattress at a bargain price. Emma usually reliably has a strong Boxing Day and January sale offering. If you're thinking smaller and just want to update your sheets it's worth looking to The White Company, Marks & Spencer and Dusk.
The Emma original mattress is our top-rated budget mattress. It's not easy to find on sale or in stock at all. we've found it reduced by 15%.
This already affordable electric blanket is now even cheaper than it was on Black Friday. It's currently almost half price which is a total steal!
Soak & Sleep has slashed 25% of our highest rated feather and down duvet It's available in several sizes and Togs.
Woolroom's Deluxe washable wool duvet is a crowd pleaser you'll find on the bed of many of the Ideal Home team. Made from all-natural wool it will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter, and is currently reduced by 30%.
The Ultima is one of the best mattresses for those with back pain as it comes in three tension options – soft, medium, and firm. If you shop today you can get 33% off
Emma mattresses have a tendency to run a little warm, so this 45% deal is great news for hot sleepers and it is also our Sleep Editor's top pick mattress for side sleepers too.
Dehumidifier deals
Finding a dehumidifier deal at this time of year is a little like gold dust as many of the best models often have stock issues as winter drags on. They can be found but you need to do some hunting around, and we've found a couple for you to shop.
This is our top-rated dehumidifier and in November was almost impossible to track down in stock. Today it is almost £100 off. Strike while the iron is hot with this deal.
This more budget-friendly model impressed our reviewer with its capacity, portable function and quietness. It's now less than £100 at Appliances Direct.
Vacuum cleaner deals
This year we have seen both Shark and Dyson dropping deals on some of their top-rated models.
Our top-rated vacuum cleaner overall is £170 cheaper in the winter sale at Dyson. It is kitted out with a powerful HEPA filter and dust detection
This is both Shark's newest and our top-rated Shark vacuum. It's currently reduced by £150 at Shark and seriously impressed our reviewer with its power and cleaning ability.
This is the best Shark vacuum if you have a pet. It is on sale at both Very and Appliance Direct, but the latter has immediate stock available so you won't have to wait until the end of January for delivery.
Air fryer deals
Ninja kicked off its winter sale before Christmas. Post-Christmas we've seen other retailers including Amazon and John Lewis also drop prices on their air fryers but the deals don't last for long.
This dual zone isn't quite as good a deal as it was on Black Friday, but it's still a good price if you're keen to add a Ninja dual-zone air fryer to your kitchen worktop for 2025.
The 6-in-1 is essentially an air fryer with some added perks including a steam injection function that cooks toast, meat and so much more to perfection. It is currently reduced by £40, making it a great price for the prettiest air fryer on the market.
Launched earlier this year, the ProCook air fryer pizza oven impressed our reviewer. It is part of the next generation of air fryers designed to make cooking restaurant-quality pizza inside at home super easy. Now £40 has been knocked off it's one of the msot affordable indoor pizza ovens around.
Cookware deals
Good cookware is an essential if you want to cook more in 2025 or if you love dreaming up new recipes in your kitchen. Get ahead on cooking with these phenomenal cookware deals from the likes of Ninja and Le Creuset today.
Ninja's cookware is seriously impressive across the board and our tester loved this particular set for its non-stick ceramic surface. For this very low price you get a full 5-piece set of fantastic quality.
For under £100 this full 5 piece set is a total steal, especially when you consider these pans are big enough for cooking family-sized meals. If healthier eating is on your agenda for 2025, this is a deal to take advantage of.
There's nothing better to spend your Christmas cash on than this iconic cast iron casserole dish from Le Creuset in Navy, which is hugely discounted over at John Lewis for the 20cm and 24cm sizes. For quality, a Le Creuset dish is second to none.
Our Place pans not only look great but seriously impressed our cookware reviewer who uses them every single day. This gorgeous 2 piece set now has a huge discount applied and will be your everyday pans for a long time coming.
Need to do some research before you buy?
When do the Boxing Day and January sales end?
The January sales traditionally start on 1st January, but a lot of retailers now start their deals much earlier, kicking off with pre-Christmas discounts that last until just before Christmas, into Boxing Day deals. Often retailers extend their offerings further as part of 'winter discounts', such as Cox & Cox.
Traditionally, January sales last the whole month until 31st January, meaning you don’t have to rush to bag a bargain.
What can you buy in Boxing Day and January sales?
Perhaps the most obvious thing to shop for less in the Boxing Day sales is Christmas decor. Anything seasonal that a retailer has failed to sell by the end of the festive season is likely to be massively discounted. So, as long as you have storage space, the Boxing Day and January sales offer a great opportunity to save on next year's decor. Consider stocking up on half-price baubles, Christmas lights, or investing in one of the best artificial Christmas trees for less.
Christmas gifting will also often be on sale – we are talking about everything from bath and body gift sets to game consoles and toys.
