Hoping to snag some high-quality sheets during October Way Day?

More than 4,000 5-star reviewers say the double-brushed microfiber fabric is super soft and luxurious, plus, it's touted as being wrinkle-resistant, pill-free and even hypoallergenic, so if you've got sensitive skin, look no further. With an extra-deep, 16-inch fitted sheet to boot, the set is practically guaranteed to work on just about any mattress.

Just take it from one buyer: "The mattress is so soft, yet firm enough to where I don’t feel like I’m sinking in. My back pain is slowly starting to dissipate after sleeping on this mattress, and I wake up feeling energized." P.S. Over 2,000 shoppers agree that it's well worth snagging at any price, so really, this preview deal is just a bonus. You know what to do.

3. Charlton Home Diego Rug

Charlton Home

Whether you're looking for a rug to transform the inside or outside of your home, let me introduce you to this stunning Joss & Main piece. According to the brand, you can look forward to its "meticulously woven construction," which is soft, but made to hold up in high-traffic areas *and* outdoor conditions. In other words, this patterned polyester rug won't just add a vintage vibe to your space, it'll also function as a totally durable spot where you can kick off your shoes, pat off the dog and not have to worry about dirt or stains. Thanks to its low pile, it's super simple to clean with a bit of mild detergent. But don't just take my word for it. "I love this rug!" one reviewer raves. "The blue and brown color with a little rust sprinkled in is nice. My son spilled my coffee [on] this, and it hid it nicely." This 7-foot by 10-foot rectangular option is great for a larger floor area, but there a ton of other sizes and shapes available (and all of them are on sale RN!).

I must admit, I was going to wait until Black Friday to buy a new sofa, but since this sleek mid-century beauty is on sale now, I'm going all in. If your current couch has seen better days, I suggest you do the same, because this pick is on-trend, highly rated and way under budget. Just so you know, it's crafted with a solid wood frame and has cushions made from a high-density foam, so it should be a little firm, but offer comfy support overall. It also comes with two pillows to fluff up the armrests (or lay your head on). At just over 7-feet long, it's also small-space friendly, so what's not to love?

Want to spend more time in the backyard this fall? Then you need this iron fire pit table, STAT. Because guess what? When you're not using it to light a propane-powered fire to cozy up around with the crew, you can use it as an outdoor dining table or bar table since it comes with a solid lid. Talk about multifunctional. Just hear one buyer out: "I love that...we can keep the top on and use this as a table as well! Perfect size and zero complaints! So easy to assemble as well." Need I say more? Fire pit season, here we come!

Guys, this cooling cotton pillow has over 16,000 5-star reviews and is on sale for up to 78 percent off! Needless to say, you shouldn't waste any time before scooping up one (or two) of the hypoallergenic, memory foam must-haves. Not convinced you should buy one now? Wait until you hear that it molds to support your head, neck and shoulders, so you can get comfortable in any position: "It took roughly about two days for the pillow to form [its] shape, [and] I can honestly say it is the best purchase I’ve ever made when it comes to my neck support. I’ve been having problems with my neck and back, and it contours to my body...This pillow is amazing, and I’m glad I made the purchase," raves one buyer.

Whether you're setting up a new nursery or are simply in the market for a plush place to sit in front of the TV, this upholstered rocking chair is here to come to your rescue. Thanks to its genius design, which rocks *and* reclines, you can go from gently rocking your little one to sleep to kicking your legs up and taking a nap yourself. More importantly, perhaps, is that the seat is filled with foam that apparently offers "just the right amount of support as you sit," per the brand. This happy shopper confirms: "I have spent a million hours in this chair since my baby was born last May. In fact, I’m sitting in it now writing this review. It’s on the smaller [side], which was perfect for our space. [It] rocks, and reclines, and has held up well after a ton of use." Considering the fact that you can save big on it today, I'd say this purchase is a no-brainer.

Snuggle season is almost upon us, people, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up this warm blanket that buyers swear is really as soft as it looks. (So it's no surprise it has a fan club of more than 9,000 5-star reviewers.) As an added bonus, it has the potential to drape beautifully across the bottom of your bed like it does in the magazines. If you ask me, though, the main attraction is still the fade- and stain-resistant polyester material, which has a "knitted surface accented by knot ends and tassels for a toss of texture," per the brand. And it doesn't hurt that it's nice and big (60 inches by 80 inches, to be exact) and comes in a boatload of colors to fit whatever color scheme you've got going on.

Calling all home chefs! This stainless-steel cookware deal is just what you need to bring your imaginary cooking show to life in the kitchen. (Ina would be so proud.) The set comes with seven pro-quality pieces, including a stockpot, a frying pan and two saucepans, as well as three lids, all for less than $100. One former PureWow food editor gave me the 411 on the virtues of cooking with stainless-steel kitchenware, explaining that it's "extremely durable, conducts heat evenly and can handle high-heat cooking," making them especially suited for browning and searing. As for this particular set from Cuisinart? "Beautiful cookware that’s easy to clean! I’m shocked," one reviewer shares. "Lightweight and so far seems to cook well," they add. Say no more. I'm picking up this set as we speak, and you should, too.

If you're running out of space in your closet, it may be time to invest in a timeless, high-quality dresser. Perhaps this beautiful piece crafted from solid pine wood. Buyers are obsessed with the minimalist design and all the small details that make it special (not limited to the wood cutouts that double as drawer handles). The bottom four drawers are deeper than the top two (perfect for thicker items), and all six combined give you plenty of storage space for jeans, linens or anything else you want neatly tucked away. It also comes in at just under 3-feet tall, so you can use the top of it as an extra table or decorative surface. 

Want in on a little shopping editor secret? One of the best times to buy new patio furniture is in the fall and winter, when you're guaranteed to snag 'em at impressive off-season prices. Whether you plan on snuggling up outdoors all year round, or are just thinking ahead to next spring, you should 100 percent scoop up this gorgeous wicker sectional while it's on sale (and in stock) for as low as $306. It comes in just five pieces (including a cute square table), so you can easily assemble it—better yet, you don't have to buy fade- and water-resistant cushions separately—you'll get six of 'em wrapped in durable polyester with a comfy foam fill. Sounds like a dream!
