Historical holiday discounts and sale terms

For Brooklinen, reporting from Forbes on November 18, 2025 recorded a Black Friday promotion of 25% off sitewide and savings of up to 40% on bundles, noting that 25% sitewide matched the discount from the previous Black Friday. In addition, The Strategist, published November 18, 2025 and updated December 1, 2025, reported that everything was 25 percent off through December 3 for Cyber Week, excluding partner brands and already discounted pieces. The Strategist also noted a Mystery Bundle at 40 percent off every 48 hours through November 26.

For Quince, holiday bedding coverage centered on bundle promotions. An article from Forbes dated November 29, 2025 reported bundle savings of as much as 20% on items including bedding after Black Friday passed, mentioning 10 bedding bundles across materials like linen, bamboo, percale, and down. That article did not cite a 15% early-bird percale discount, and apparel discounts should not be treated as sheet set savings. While Brooklinen ran broader sitewide markdowns during previous November events, Quince centered its savings on multi-item bundle combinations.

Who should not buy

Skip Brooklinen if you want to avoid paying a return fee, since Brooklinen deducts a $9.95 return fee from refunds per the policy page we read on October 9, 2026. Look elsewhere if your planned order is under $100 and you want free delivery, as free ground shipping requires orders over $100 to the contiguous United States.

Skip Quince if you are purchasing seasonal holiday decorations or artificial Christmas trees and need standard return windows, since holiday decor must be postmarked by December 23 of the purchase year and artificial Christmas trees carry a $25 restocking fee as of October 9, 2026. You may also want to pass on Quince if you prefer sitewide percentage markdowns during holiday sales rather than bundle offers, as reporting in Forbes pointed to bundle savings of as much as 20% on bundles including bedding.
