Best John Lewis sale home deals to shop now

Back in 1864 when John Lewis began, the business was built around your home. Specifically in those days, fabrics. Over the years they have broadened their offering, but fundamentally, home is what made them who they are. So next time you pick out a pair of curtains from John Lewis, remember that you’re buying over 150 of industry expertise in that product, priceless really.

For a sale pick I think we can find something a bit more exciting than curtains for you, but it’s a “nice to know” bit of insight. There are some big discounts on furniture, as well as air fryer deals and dehumidifier deals. We asked our Digital Home Editor, Tamara Kelly for her advice on what to shop right now.

Best Dyson discount on offer

Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner: Was £399 Now £249

Dyson rarely offers discounts but because of the competitive nature of seasonal sales John Lewis can't be 'knowingly undersold' so they currently have the best discount on this brilliant vacuum. I own this model and can say, it might not be the latest to the market but it is an exceptional vacuum that produces outstanding performance. I still audibly gasp when I see how much microscopic dirt it picks up around my 'clean' home.

Mint Velvet Floral Midi Dress: Was £159 Now £99

Cat Deeley wore this blooming beautiful floral dress a few months ago, and we haven't stopped thinking about it ever since.

With £46 off, this is one of the best deals on Sweaty Betty I've seen in the John Lewis sale.

The best John Lewis beauty & fragrance sale deals to shop now

Maybe I missed a memo, but I am seriously impressed with the brands the John Lewis beauty sale has to offer. It feels comparable to Selfridges - in other words, the luxury market.

The discounts in this section are also some of the best I have come across, hence you’re going to want to keep reading. With Dyson offers and makeup discounts, there's plenty to be excited about.

Outside of Amazon Prime Day beauty deals and Black Friday beauty deals, you can still get great discounts on beauty tools and buys at John Lewis. Our Digital Beauty Editor Aleesha Badkar and Master Perfumer, Laura Honey, have selected these top buys.

Calvin Klein CK One Essence Unisex Parfum Intense: Was £41 Now £32.80
Unisex fragrance

Calvin Klein CK One Essence Unisex Parfum Intense: Was £41 Now £32.80

This iconic 90's fragrance is a revolutionary scent that appeals to everybody. The fresh, citrus aroma is ideal for everyday wear. CK One Essence opens with refreshing Italian bergamot and luscious blood orange for bold intensity, with a splash of uplifting organic green tea all grounded by a base of Australian sandalwood.

Molton Brown Suede Orris Hair Mist: was £55 now £41.50 at John Lewis (save £13.50)

Molton Brown Suede Orris Hair Mist: was £55, now £41.50 at John Lewis (save £13.50)

When I’m thinking about buying fragrance, the first thing I do is turn to Fragrantica. This tells me the notes and shows me reviews from people who actually own it.

Scents are subjective, so the reviews can’t be taken to heart, but in this case, this hair mist comes highly rated. That says to me that this must be a good one. A great everyday alternative to a perfume that's much cheaper but can be trusted to last, it's a great new-season buy.

Best John Lewis sale fitness deals to shop now

It is never too late to start working on your fitness. Moving your body in any way, shape, or form, feels even better on the inside than any external results. If you want to get your sweat on, you have some fitness goals, or you want to get motivated, there are some really great products in the John Lewis sale.

We asked our Digital Health Editor, Grace Walsh, to suggest what to shop. She recommends keeping an eye on our pages for Fitbit deals and the best yoga mat, since other retailers have some serious savings available. If we're looking at John Lewis, there are still some impressive deals to be had.

Therabody Theragun Relief: was £125 now £99 at John Lewis (save £26)

Therabody Theragun Relief: was £125, now £99 at John Lewis (save £26)

All athletes will know the price of a physio - a lot. In fact, in some cases, this product is the equivalent of just one session. Any recovery beyond that avoids the need to visit a specialist and you’re making a profit.

Laura, one of our eCommerce experts, invested in the Theragun Pro at the beginning of the year and swears by it, but this is a cheaper alternative that is smaller and easier to work with.

NordicTrack GX 8.0 Indoor Studio Bike: was £799 now £499 at John Lewis (save £300)

NordicTrack GX 8.0 Indoor Studio Bike: was £799, now £499 at John Lewis (save £300)

Cycling is a fantastic way to exercise, but getting out and about on a bike isn't always practical. At-home cycling machines tend to cost a fortune, which is why we're jumping straight on this huge £300 saving whilst we can. If you've lusted after a Peloton but couldn't quite justify it, this is a fantastic alternative.

The best John Lewis electrical sale deals to shop now

I’m always a little cautious of buying big-name brands, not directly from the brands themselves. I tend to think, “What if something goes wrong? Will I have problems with a warranty claim? What if it breaks on the way to me? Will they replace it?”

When I buy from John Lewis, all of these worries disappear. In certain cases, I’ve actually bought products from them as a preference because they offered additional warranty beyond the manufacturer. With electrical appliances this level of customer protection is invaluable.

Bose QuietComfort SC Over-Ear Headphones: was £319 now £219 at John Lewis
Best headphones

Bose QuietComfort SC Over-Ear Headphones: was £319, now £219 at John Lewis

This is the only deal worth looking at in the headphone section. With Bose you know you’re getting excellence, and over £90 off is not small by any means. Apple headphones supposedly in the John Lewis sale offering 3 months of Apple Music, in my opinion wholly uninspiring, but if it floats your boat then that’s available too.

When is the best time to shop the John Lewis sale?

John Lewis sales tend to happen alongside other mainstream high street and online sales, and at the end of seasons, so expect a John Lewis Black Friday sale, as well as one on Cyber Monday, John Lewis Boxing Day and January sales, around Amazon Prime Day and end of spring and summer sales.

This means John Lewis sales tend to happen around Easter, high summer, from October through to January. However, you will find John Lewis discounts and deals live most of the year-round, some of which we go into above

The best time of the year to shop the John Lewis sale is in the lead-up to, during and after Black Friday, as well as in January. During these sale periods, you will find great deals on everything from electricals to fashion. However, we've seen some impressive deals this summer. If you can't wait half a year for your wedding guest outfit, you won't have any buyer's remorse from shopping now.

What is the John Lewis ANYDAY sale?

The John Lewis ANYDAY sale features own-brand products, often reduced to clear. The ANYDAY sale includes everything from fashion to homewares to luggage and is more than worth checking in on regularly, though deals will end when stock runs out.

Is it worth shopping the John Lewis Clearance Sale?

If you click through to the John Lewis Clearance Sale, you are likely to find yourself on the main John Lewis sale page, from which you can navigate to all the different departments' sale pages.

Does John Lewis have a sale on Prime Day?

John Lewis does not participate on Prime Day as such, though there is a specific John Lewis Amazon page with, when it is kept up to date, shows deals for Amazon products. Think: Amazon Firesticks and Amazon Alexa products.

This year, Prime Day was on the 16th and 17th of July and some high street retailers dropped their prices to match Amazon. Bear in mind, too, that Amazon has held a second Prime Day sale in October in the past year, and in 2024 also held a spring sale. We will keep this page updated in tandem.

When is John Lewis' Black Friday sale?

The John Lewis Black Friday sale takes place, officially, on Black Friday, which in 2024 is on 29th November. However, we have seen sale deals beginning to appear from as early as the first week of October in the last year, so begin to look out for early John Lewis Black Friday deals from then this year.

Usually, John Lewis' Black Friday deal includes discounts of up to 50% on fashion, furniture, beauty and fitness gadgets and kit.

How long does John Lewis Black Friday last?

The John Lewis Black Friday sale technically begins on November 29th 2024, but deals will begin to appear any time from October. We will keep this page updated on the start date. The sale lasts until Cyber Monday, and beyond that until deals run out. Often, this means the sale period lasts through Christmas to Boxing Day and into the January sales period, though prices and product availability will fluctuate.

When is John Lewis' Cyber Monday sale?

The John Lewis Cyber Monday sale is always the first Monday directly after Black Friday, which means it falls on December 2nd 2024. Are Cyber Monday deals as good as Black Friday deals? The answer is that it very much depends on what you want to buy and product availability.

How do you know you're getting a genuinely good John Lewis deal?

If you visit this page regularly, you will see that we monitor John Lewis sale prices regularly and throughout the year, but especially in the lead up to sales, so you can be sure we're always highlighting the best bargains, both at John Lewis, but elsewhere, too.
