Whether you’re scoping for last-minute deals or finishing up holiday shopping, there’s no shortage of Cyber Monday discounts to shop—in fact, searching through all of them might be overwhelming. That’s why we hand-picked impressive deals on some of our favorite tested products, with everything from electric fireplaces to plush throws on sale. Each product on this list has been thoroughly tested in our Labs and in real-world conditions, so you can add it to your cart with the confidence that you’re buying the best.

To find our Real Simple Selects, we start by rounding up many products, including best-sellers, trending picks, and household brands. Each test is customized to evaluate need-to-know qualities that can help you make the right purchase—we also run unique tests because we know that each customer is different. Our ratings and reviews are based on the qualities we all care about, including comfort, usability, value, and design. After our Lab testing, we send some top-performing products out for long-term testing in real-world conditions, evaluating how they last over weeks, months, and even years.

Below are some of the best Cyber Monday deals on our favorite products. We have tried and loved every selection on this list, so you don’t waste money or time on a disappointing product.

Home can be your personal sanctuary, complete with all you need to unwind, relax, and reset. Whether you’re upgrading your daily essentials or adding some cold-season coziness to your space, we have a selection of discounts on our favorite tested home products. We vetted each product on this list to ensure that it improves your life, whether it enhances air quality or creates a fireside haven for curling up with a good book.

To find the best air purifiers for pet hair, we tested 56 models in our Lab. Of the 56 tested, the Winix 5500-2 Air Purifier was our absolute favorite—it reduced air particles by 80-82 percent and volatile organic compounds by 86-88 percent in 30 minutes. The Winix offers an impressive four-stage filtration and advanced features including a remote control, a LED light that reports air quality in real-time, and an auto mode that adjusts based on the air quality reading. And for Cyber Monday, you can score this tested favorite for $90 off.

Nothing says the holiday season quite like a crackling fireplace. Of the 23 electric fireplaces we tested, the Costway Freestanding Electric Fireplace earned our “Best Overall” award. Right now, you can save 45 percent on this cozy favorite. During our testing, it created heat up to 4.5 feet away with its convection heating, which circulates warm air throughout the entire room. We particularly loved the realism of the flickering flames, and that you can tailor the heat power and temperature using three easy-to-use controls.

Winter is the perfect time to trade in your summer linens for something warmer—so we rounded up the best Cyber Monday deals on our favorite snuggly bedding. Comfortable, high-quality bedding is key to restful sleep, which is why we rigorously test products and recommend only the best. Each product impressed us with its comfort, durability, value, and design.

You might have seen the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw popping up on celeb-approved gift guides this holiday season, and we think it lives up to the hype. We surveyed 47 team members on their favorite throw blankets, and this pick was the clear winner for its softness. The polyester microfiber fabric has a fluffy feel, while the range of elegant hues can match any home decor. You can score this Real Simple-approved blanket for 22 percent off this Cyber Monday and add plush warmth to your couch, bed, or reading nook.

If you’re looking for somewhere to rest your head at night, it doesn’t get much better than the Coop Sleep Goods The Original Pillow, which earned our “Best Adjustable” award from the 20 foam pillows we tested in real-world conditions. It’s $14 off for Cyber Monday, so you can upgrade your bedding setup for less. This pillow is filled with a blend of shredded memory foam and microfiber, which you can adjust, add, and remove based on your sleeping preferences. During testing, we also found that this pillow was impressively breathable and soft, which made for a good night’s sleep.

A reliable vacuum is a household essential, but not one we want to spend more on than we have to. That’s why we rounded up scorching Cyber Monday discounts on some of our favorite tested vacuums. We’ve tested approximately 280 vacuums, so you can buy knowing these picks will keep your floors sparkling clean.

We love robot vacuums for their ability to cut chore time and simplify your household cleaning, so when we saw that our favorite, the iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum is on sale for 42 percent off, we knew it needed a special shoutout. We tested 44 robot vacuums in our Labs and real-world conditions, and the iRobot has remained a top contender. Its two counter-rotating brush rolls picked up all debris including sand, hair, and cereal.

For traditionalists in search of a new canister vacuum, we also love the Shark Pet Canister Vacuum, which earned our “Best for Hardwood Floors” award. It glided along our floors easily, cleaning up every debris type in its path. For a canister vacuum, it was impressively lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it a breeze to clean our floors. This Real Simple favorite is 58 percent off for Cyber Monday—a vacuum deal you don’t want to miss.

From deeply discounted All-Clad Cookware to luxe espresso machines that elevate your morning brew, we collected some of our favorite tested kitchen products you want on hand for holiday recipes and daily cooking.

We tested 28 sets of stainless steel cookware in our Labs, and the Cuisinart MultiClad Pro Cookware Set earned our slot as the “Best Budget” pick. It is durable, dishwasher-safe, and has impressive heat distribution that makes it easy to clean. During testing, we created an even golden-brown crust on our scallops with no sticking. This set is even more affordable at 47 percent off with a coupon for Cyber Monday.

If you want to elevate your morning routine, Cyber Monday might be the right time to splurge on a new coffee maker, and we are particularly fond of the Miele CM 5310 Silence Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine. We tested 22 coffee makers with grinders in our Lab, and the Miele claimed our slot as the best splurge option. It’s $400 off for Cyber Monday and makes coffee, espresso, cappuccinos, caffe lattes, and more. In short, it’s a home barista, whipping up milk froth and drinks to perfection.
