14 Wayfair Wayday Sale Picks Our Editors Are Shopping

This year, the Wayfair Wayday sale returns just in time to upgrade your space for the oncoming temperature drop—think: warm soups made in Le Creuset, long novels read in bouclé accent chairs, and red wine around an outdoor fire pit. Starting October 5 and through October 7, you can score 80% off a huge selection of furniture, home decor, cookware sets, and all things cozy from retailers like Joss & Main, Birch Lane, Mercury Row, AllModern, and more. And each day, 24-hour flash deals hit the site, meaning limited-time offers on a selection of hot-ticket items you’ll want to jump on ASAP. All orders include free shipping, and some include free white-glove delivery.

We’ve pulled together our favorites from Wayfair’s biggest sale so you can cultivate all your aspirational autumn scenarios.

Top Picks:

1. Best Outdoor Deal: Brown Bennir Solid Wood Folding Adirondack Chair (Set of 2) (was $267, now $158)
2. Best Living Room Upgrade: Ebern Designs Zeitz Coffee Table (was $200, now $157)
3. Best Cookware Set: Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Dutch Oven (was $180, now $100)
4. Best Decor Deal: Joss & Main Amhurst Wool Area Rug (was $600, now $500)

This affordable midcentury-style piece is a dignified, unassuming classic—a real grown-up bed frame. Made from Acacia wood, it’s a far cry from bed frames of the same price (i.e., metal-slatted college dorm picks that hung around far too long). We’re particularly loving it in Dark Chocolate.

A luxurious sleep option for those with back and joint pain, this 12-inch memory foam mattress has pocket springs to prevent sagging and a surface cooling gel to guarantee restful nights ahead.

Your life would suck without this art deco inspired media console, featuring two sliding drawers and adjustable interior shelves. It can also hold a 78-inch television—perfect for rewatching old American Idol seasons.

Almost 50% off this classic Cuisinart had us really hovering over “add to cart,” and this beautiful Provencal blue sealed the deal.

Okay, there are editor’s favorites, and then there’s editor’s favorite. This chair is Mad Men meets museum lobby—equally suitable for reading romance novels as it is for closing deals. We need it.

At 100% wool and handwoven, we’re loving the price point of this area rug, which looks inviting enough to prompt a very cozy fireside nap (and otherwise only makes a stronger case for beige).

Modern designs don’t always look so versatile, but this coffee table is subtle, sophisticated, and has serious transitory style potential. We’re hoping to snag the piece on closeout sale before it’s gone for good!

The worst part about Adirondack chairs, which are otherwise the perfect patio furniture, is hauling them from the porch to the fire pit, or the fire pit to the porch—we’re grateful someone finally thought to make a folding version, which will save our shins a lot of bruises.

And the fire pit in question? This one right here on serious markdown. As long as this is at your place, you won’t have to face the cold without carrying a blanket from the house and right to the back patio hearth.

We trust a lot of things from Bissell—but this one is a crowd favorite on Wayfair with over 400 five-star reviews. It’s suitable for floors and everything else too, including all the pet hair from your favorite furry friend.

If you’re anything like us, your cookware sets still include a few too many teflon uglies. Who has the time to go searching for every pot and pan, to consider what sizes and materials, how many pots, how many pans? Get your squash season up and running with Cuisinart, an old reliable with stainless steel designs that are even older and more reliable.

If you give a mouse a new cookware set, he’s going to start reevaluating the quality of his kitchen appliances. This Hamilton Beach stand mixer is Kitchenaid-adjacent without the price tag, a great starter stand mixer for the burgeoning baker.

Next on our list of Wayfair Wayday sale picks, we had our eye on this pouf since we spotted a similar version in Jimmy Butler’s Open Door, and love it as an easy, low-fuss addition to a space. Plus, what’s reading—or for that matter, an annual Gilmore Girls rewatch—without an ottoman?

If it were up to us, all outdoor furniture (that wasn’t Adirondack chairs) would have the Laguna Beach backyard quality of this bistro set. Not on the Golden Coast? As fall wraps up, this is going to look as cute as ever with a little dusting of snow on top, and whatever debris the squirrels have made of your nearby bird feeder.
