Wayfair’s Way Day 2021 sale is here: The best deals to shop now, from mattresses to garden furniture
It’s official, Wayfair’s biggest sale of the year is back. The online furniture giant has officially launched its highly anticipated “Way Day”.
The shopping extravaganza is a relatively new sale event from Wayfair that first launched in 2018, with the retailer offering up to 80 per cent off some of its most popular products.
And, while last year’s Way Day took place later than usual due to the coronavirus pandemic, the event has returned to its usual April slot in 2021.
While the retailer is already well-known for its great deals, Way Day gives customers a unique opportunity to bag a real bargain on everything from outdoor furniture to nursery essentials, decor, bedding and much more.
And, since the impressive sale includes rolling flash deals – similar to Amazon Prime Day – you’re almost guaranteed to find something to spruce up your living space.
