Independence Day sales are live, and before you head out to enjoy the day, we’ve rounded up all the best 4th of July deals in one place. This year’s offerings are varied, with furniture (both indoors and outdoors), mattresses, camping, clothing, makeup, and tech stores all getting in on the action.
Even with Amazon Prime Day just around the corner on July 16 – which might have better deals on things like TVs, tech, and gaming – you’ll find the selected Independence Day sales below are a great opportunity to find products on sale from direct-to-consumer and startup brands. These are likely items we won’t see on Prime Day. If you’re shopping for furniture, decor, apparel, or outdoor gear, now is a good time to do so.
Below, you can find everything from my top five 4th of July deals to a list of sales from retailers we trust and love. For even more savings, be sure to check out our roundups to the best Independence Day mattress sales and deals on products made in the USA.
5 best Independence Day deals
The Signal has you covered when the unexpected strikes with its fire-starting ferro rod, 420HC combo blade and emergency whistle.
If you want hands-off barbecuing with immaculate Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, it doesn’t get any better than the Traeger Timberline series.
The best Independence Day furniture sales
Because of the warmer weather and time of year, many furniture stores are holding summer sales with a special emphasis on outdoor pieces and decor; I recommend checking out Burrow, Sundays, and Serena & Lily. That’s not to say that you can’t find great indoor furniture on sale right now, too — some of my favorite promotions include Benchmade Modern (a top pick in our sofa buying guide) and Crate & Barrel.
Designed to represent relaxation, the OG Couch Potato Sofa offers medium support and a slight recline, which is perfect for movie nights or impromptu naps. The couch is available in multiple sizes including a two-seater size and a wide variety of colors.
“Outer’s three-seat wicker outdoor sofa is designed for medium-sized backyards, rooftops, patios, decks, and other outdoor spaces.”
Associate travel editor Hannah Freedman purchased this two-piece sofa when she moved last year and loves its custom nature, comfortability, and stain resistance. Due to its custom construction, the couch did take a few months to arrive, but was definitely worth the wait. The sofa’s deep seats and low back cushions are optimal for comfortable lounging.
Owned by deputy editor, Lauren Savoie, and one of Burrow’s bestsellers, the fabric Nomad Sofa offers a modern design at a great price point. The sofa can comfortably seat three people and is made with stain- and scratch-resistant olefin fabric. The design is modular, so you can add or remove sections or chaises to accommodate your changing space and needs.
Crafted from high-quality teak that’s naturally impervious to moisture, this charming storage cabinet keeps your short- and long-handled tools, potting supplies and other landscaping essentials close at hand while you work in your garden.
The best Independence Day mattress sales
Mattress stores love an occasion to hold a sale, and the 4th of July is no exception. For the holiday, prices match those we saw during Presidents Day and Memorial Day from Leesa, Casper, and Mattress Firm.
The Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress provides great edge support and motion isolation. Its mix of memory foam and pocket springs produces an average firmness, making it an outstanding solution for back pain sufferers of any sleeping style.
The gel memory foam of the Nectar makes it a versatile mattress that conforms to the contours of your body to relieve pressure. It’s a premium sleep experience, but its price tag is way under a grand.
The best Independence Day camping and outdoor sales
Shopping for new base layers, hiking boots, or kayaking gear? These sales are perfect for doing just that — it’s much rarer to find such a wide spread of outdoor accessories on sale. In particular, REI’s summer sale has just about everything you could need, and if you’re looking for a backyard firepit, check out BioLite and Solo Stove.
The Jackery Explorer 300 Portable Power Station can power or charge six small devices at a time and recharges using a solar panel (not included), wall outlet, or car port. Right now, it’s at an all-time low price.
Ideal for anyone with a smaller outdoor space, this high-tech fire pit is completely smokeless, and can double as a grill. Bonus? It’s portable, which is a true game-changer.
The Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 is the best fire pit we’ve tested because its design facilitates blazing fires with minimal smoke. Plus, it’s available in seven colors.
Rumpl’s popular Puffy Blanket comes in a ton of different fun designs to complete your setup. It’s easy to pack, comes with its own bag, and has corner loops so they can tie or stake it to the ground if needed.
First Aid Only’s All-Purpose 299-piece First Aid Kit is well-organized so you don’t have to shuffle around too much looking for whatever it is you need when you need it most, and it’s packed with everything short of what might require a trip to the emergency room.
The best Independence Day clothing and makeup sales
Tons of style and beauty brands are holding summer sales to shop this 4th of July. From Everlane’s Summer Sale to Summersalt’s Sun Seeker Sale, you can be saving on chic swimsuits, reliable jeans, and much more. If you’re in the market for skincare, makeup, sunscreen, or hair care, I also recommend checking out Ulta’s Big Summer Beauty Sale, ending July 13.
These best-selling high-rise mom jeans are made with a durable denim with a hint of stretch. The light washes also come in petite and extra long lengths.
Tommy John’s Second Skin fabric feels like wearing next to nothing, and these trunks have a breathable contour pouch for a secure, comfortable fit.
This is an under-the-seat tote that easily holds a weekend’s worth of clothes. It even has a bottom zipper pocket for separately storing an extra pair of shoes, toiletries, or dirty laundry — plus, a pass-through sleeve to slide over your luggage handle.
Wear this breezy shirt dress with a belt and statement earrings, or dress it down to the beach by throwing it over a swimsuit.
The best Independence Day tech and appliance sales
When it comes to tech like TVs, smart speakers, and headphones, you’re probably better off waiting for Amazon Prime Day coming on July 16. But if you need something urgently, or you’re shopping for appliances like air conditioners, these sales are definitely worth looking into.
The latest ExpressVPN deal cuts the price in half on the per-month fee on the one-year plan. Better yet, you’ll get an extra three months free on our favorite VPN that leads the way in security and streaming capabilities. The service recently improved, now supporting eight simultaneous devices (up from five), adding Apple TV support, and has now rolled out an ad-blocker and password manager to all users at no extra charge.

Valve’s Steam Deck is a powerful handheld system with support for thousands of games. It’s an impressive device, but is best-suited for tech-savvy players and PC gaming enthusiasts.
