Like all good things, these Memorial Day 2023 sales have come to an end. If you're still searching for savings, check out our deals page for more great discounts on Wirecutter's expert-approved picks.

The Wirecutter deals team uses meticulous price tracking to cut through the noise of Memorial Day sales, whether you’re seeking a washer/dryer set, a mattress, or a grill. Memorial Day has come and gone, but some sales are still kicking. We've separated the deals that are worthy of a backyard party from disappointing, run-of-the-mill discounts.

Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress (Queen) — Our Pick Deal price: $1,000 with code WIRECUTTER; street price: $1,700

What we like: This longtime pick's hybrid tech combines the best components of memory foam and spring mattresses. Over 1,000 springs and four layers of CertiPUR-US–certified memory foam. Works well for stomach-, back-, and side-sleepers. 100-day trial period. 10-year warranty.

Other things to know: Mattress is 11 inches thick. The king and California king sizes are also available at a discount (to just $1200) with code WIRECUTTER.

GE JS760 Slide-In Electric Range — Top Pick Deal price: $1,100; street price: $1,250

What we like: Our top slide-in electric range pick has it all: a selection of sleek finishes, a reputable brand name, and great cooking features. Sturdy build quality. Features include true convection cooking and high-heat self-cleaning modes.

Other things to know: Big enough to fit a hefty, 26-pound turkey or a 20-by-15-inch baking stone. Front-control design should make this model easier to install in most kitchens, but it may be tricky if you’re replacing an older slide-in. Deal is for the stainless steel finish.

Made In 10-inch Unseasoned Blue Carbon Steel Frying Pan — Our Pick Deal price: $63; street price: $79

What we like: A lighter-weight alternative to a cast-iron skillet. Carbon steel can tolerate high heat and will develop a slick surface as it's seasoned by use. Buy-it-for-life quality.

Other things to know: Requires some care to prevent rust and maintain the seasoning, but regular cleaning should take only 1-2 minutes of work.

Saatva Classic Luxury Firm Mattress (Queen) — Our Pick Deal price: $1250; street price: $1650

What we like: Our plush and bouncy innerspring mattress pick is the most affordable option we’ve found that still looks and feels luxurious. Appealing to those who want to nestle in, as opposed to feeling engulfed. Classic innerspring bounce paired with a cushy but understated three-inch Euro top.

Other things to know: Doesn't have the best motion isolation. Comes in thicknesses of 11½ and 14½ inches, and you have 365 nights to try it. All sizes available at a discount except the twin size.

Fellow Ode Brew Grinder (Gen 1) — Another Good Option Deal price: $200; street price: $250

What we like: A coffee grinder we like for pour-over enthusiasts. Aesthetically-pleasing design. Ultracompact. Super-fast flat burr. Large, smooth dial for adjusting grind size. Handsome, pencil-shaped burr brush.

Other things to know: Cult following. Older generation. Pricey, even when on sale. Slightly upgraded version has a better burr set (for about $185 more). Available in matte black or matte white.

GE Profile PGS930 Slide-in Gas Range — Upgrade Pick Deal price: $1800; street price: $2700

What we like: The best all-around specs we've seen in a gas slide-in range. Powerful, will boil water faster than other slide-ins. Three-ring design burner is good for holding temperatures. Glass control panel looks and feels upscale.

Other things to know: 21,000 Btu power burner. Five burners. Has a Wi-Fi feature you can sync with an app. Available in the fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish.
