October bedding sales − the best deals from the biggest brands
Make the most of the October bedding sales and score major savings on sheets, pillows, quilts, and comforters to keep warm this winter
When you shop the bedding sales, you can upgrade your bed on a budget. I've found sheets, shams, quilts, comforters, and pillows to suit every style of bedroom and every size of budget.
October is a great time to buy bedding. The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale runs from Tuesday 8 to Wednesday 9. That's when you'll find deep discounts across specialist sleep stores, plus counter-sales across the major merchants.
There are plenty of deep discounts hidden across the internet, and it's my job to dig up the best deals. Before I started as H&G's specialist sleep writer, I was a price tracker. I would spend eight hours a day, scouring the sites of the biggest bedding brands, watching their prices rise and fall. That's how I know all the best places to buy bedding, as well as where – and when − to get the goods for less.
October bedding sales – selected by a sleep editor
You can trust Homes & Gardens.
With so much listed for so little in the October bedding sales, it can be difficult to know where to start. That's why I've hand-picked a few of my favorite products to suit different sleepers and split them into categories: we've got sheet sets; quilts and comforters; plus pillows. If you're looking for deep discounts on mattress toppers or protectors, then you've come to the wrong place – head to my mattress sales page to get the best deals.

Sheet set deals
Mellanni Queen Sheet Set | Was $50.97, now $34.97 at Amazon
The world's best affordable bed sheets just got even more affordable. This bestselling sheet set boasts more than 250,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, praising their wrinkle-resistance and smooth, soft finish.
Sijo AiryWeight Eucalyptus Sheet Set | Was $185.00, now $166.50 at Sijo
If you're a hot sleeper, or you prefer to sleep on natural fibers, then these are the sheets for you. Eucalyptus is moisture-wicking and antimicrobial, built to bust the bacteria that breeds in warm, damp environments, such as bedrooms, while keeping you cool and dry.
Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set | Was $189.00, now $160.65 at Brooklinen
I started testing these sheets over summer and I'm loving the super-smooth feel of sateen against my skin. A set of silky sheets is a quick and easy upgrade that goes a long way towards transforming your boring old bedroom into a sleep sanctuary.
Shilucheng Bamboo Viscose Sheets | Was $59.90, now $49.90 at Amazon
Bamboo is naturally moisture-wicking and antimicrobial, built to bust the bacteria that breeds in hot, damp environments, such as bedrooms, and stop the night sweats. Usually, bamboo bedding costs hundreds of dollars for a full set, but you can bag this bedspread for less than $50.
Quince European Linen Sheet Set | Was $239.00, now $129.90 at Quince
I can't help but admire the colorways at Quince. You can shop these luxe linen sheets in natural, neutral hues, from white sand to charcoal gray, or consider dusty blue and soft blush. You can even play with prints and patterns with stripes and gingham.
Comforter deals
Yalamilla Down Comforter | Was $238.99, now $67.99 at Walmart
For natural loft and cozy comfort, there's nothing like real down. This comforter is filled with duck and goose feathers to retain heat and keep you just the right side of warm and dry. If you're looking for something a bit thicker for winter, I suggest you upgrade to the all-season comforter.
Buffy Cloud Comforter | Was $195.00, now $156.00 at Buffy
This down alternative comforter looks and feels like the real thing. Filled with fine fill fibers, each of which is thinner than an eyelash, then encased in eucalyptus lyocell, the Buffy Cloud Comforter combines the loft and lightness of duck and goose feathers with the cooling properties of eucalyptus.
Bedsure Comforter | Was $41.99, now $24.99 at Amazon
This is one of the best-rated duvet inserts on Amazon, with more than 50,000 verified five-star reviews. Happy customers praise the comfort, cooling, and value for money of the Bedsure Comforter, though a few shoppers note that it lacks a little of the loft of real down.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Comforter | Was $419.00, now $293.30 at Cozy Earth
Even with an $120 discount, the Cozy Earth Bamboo Comforter is still pretty expensive, but that's the price you pay for organic materials. Plus, bamboo boasts all sorts of natural health benefits: it's hypoallergenic to soothe your skin and antimicrobial to bust bacteria.
Pillow deals
Tempur-Pedic Memory Foam Symphony Pillow | Was $119.00, now $62.87 at Amazon
This dual-sided pillow is designed to suit all sleep positions. One side is gently arched to cradle the neck and shoulders of back and side sleepers, while the other is flat to suit stomach sleepers. This is the sort of pillow that would go well in a guest room: your friends need only flip to find the perfect pillow.
Woolroom Deluxe Washable Wool Pillow | Was $127.49, now $89.24 at Woolroom
An adjustable pillow is just the thing for guest rooms and fussy sleepers. The Woolroom Deluxe Washable Wool Pillow makes it easy to find your ideal pillow height and feel − all you need to do is reach down inside the case to remove and replace handfuls of organic wool.
True Temp Pillow | Buy one, get one 50% off at Sleep Number
This pillow comes in three shapes to suit different sorts of sleepers. There's the Classic Pillow, which lies firm and flat for stomach sleepers; the Contour Pillow, which has a handy dip for the back of your head to promote ergonomic alignment; and the Ultimate Pillow, which features removable foam inserts to suit all sleep positions.
Brooklinen Down Pillow | Was $109.00, now $92.65 at Brooklinen
If you want a fluffy pillow to form a beautiful bedspread, then you should narrow the search to real down. There are thousands of tiny air pockets between the feathers, which retain heat and maintain loft. Eco-conscious shoppers can rest assured that Brooklinen down is certified by the Responsible Down Standard.
The Marlow Pillow | Was $65.00, now $41.65 at Brooklinen
Like I said, I love an adjustable pillow, but they can get messy. Oftentimes, during testing, I find myself searching for somewhere to store surplus fluff or an extra insert. You don't have to do that with the Marlow Pillow – just push and pull the zippers to let air into and out of the pillow.
Bedding sales FAQs
Why is bedding so expensive?
Not all bedding is expensive, but I take your point: it can be hard to justify spending hundreds of dollars on sheets and shams. That's why I tend to steer clear of the luxury design houses, where you're paying less for a product and more for a brand name.
The best bedding should be reasonably priced, when you consider the time and money that goes into making it. You're paying for premium fabrics, artisan craftsmanship, and timeless style. If you're tight on time and money, and you need new bedding at a cut price, your best bet is a set of the best affordable bed sheets. Bedding bundles from big-name brands, such as Saatva and Sijo, deliver premium performance without the premium price tag.
When is the best time to buy bedding?
The best time to buy bedding at a bargain price is either during the holidays, where major merchants across the country cut their prices, or as part of a site-wide sale. After Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, the next major sales event is Black Friday on November 29, so mark your calendars and get ready to shop the sales.
Final thoughts
Now that you've made it to the end of this article, you might be wondering where all the mattress pads, toppers, and protectors are. These deals live with mattress sales, along with the deepest discounts from this month's mattress sales: I've seen as much as $1,600 off a luxury latex bed.
If you've got expensive taste, and you're looking to save on sheets, I recommend you shop the luxury bedding sales at Bloomingdale's. I've seen bedding bundles from Frette, Sferra, and Matouk, all listed for less.
