Mattress Sales
Labor Day is a traditional day for companies to offer a “White Sale” on sheets, pillow cases, and even mattresses. Supposedly this started in 1878, when John Wanamaker of Philadelphia department store fame decreed January to be the time for a “White sale.” Bed linens, which were available in white only, were sold at a discount. This was done to increase sales for these items at a time of the year when sales were normally slow. Somewhere alomg the line, the white sale concept spread to mattresses and other items for the home. Below are a few early deals in this category, but watch for others to start promoting a couple of weeks before the holiday.
