When Is Black Friday?
Black Friday is a historic shopping event, held on the last Friday of November every year. Both in physical shops on the high street, and online stores, brands release massive discounts for huge ticket items. It is truly one of the best and busiest sales days of the year.
It originated in the US on the Friday after Thanksgiving, and people often take the opportunity to buy Christmas presents for loved ones at incredibly low prices. The Boots Black Friday Sale hosts massive discounts on your favourite beauty and wellness brands, so it's certainly not one to miss.
How Long Is Black Friday?
Black Friday lasts from Friday 29 November 2024 to Cyber Monday, 2 December. In total, therefore, the event runs for four days. However, in the weeks before Black Friday, you can expect to see early deals creeping in as early as the start of November and extending well until Christmas.
Is Black Friday Or Cyber Monday Better For Deals?
Generally, we tend to find similar deals running during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Some retailers often run further reductions across Cyber Monday. However, we would advise you to start your shopping as early as possible due to the possibility of stock issues come Cyber Monday. So, our advice would be to start on Black Friday - and check back on Monday to see if any new deals have made it into the sale.
Is It Worth Waiting For Black Friday Deals?
While sofa deals runs throughout the year, you may notice that the quality of both items and the percentage of discounts during Black Friday practically skyrocket. More of the popular items tend to make their way into the sale, where you're able to make the most of discounts on offer. Therefore, we'd say the Black Friday sales are, without a doubt, worth the wait.
What Should I Consider Before Buying A Sofa?
The main considerations before buying a sofa should be size, budget, comfort and fabric quality. If possible, we suggest visiting the shop to try a sofa in person prior to ordering it online. Alternatively, many retailers allow you to order free fabric swatches to your home to ensure the quality and style are aligned with your preferences.
How Can You Tell If A Sofa Is Good Quality?
The sofa's upholstery, frame and fill will provide insight into its quality. We recommend opting for sofa frames made from hardwood with frame joints that have been glued, dowelled and screwed properly. In terms of fill, high-quality foam or feather is the best way to go for a comfy feel. Finally, fabrics such as cotton, linen and will are the most durable options.
How Long Should A Sofa Last?
With proper maintenance, a high-quality sofa should last anywhere between seven and 15 years.
