1. A sleek oscillating tower fan with five power and sound levels you can adjust via remote (including a white noise setting!). It also comes with a timer and handle for bringing it from room to room.
Promising review: "This fan has been a game changer in my upstairs bedroom. I live in an area where it’s been quite warm this summer (100°+ weather). Noise factor is nonexistent; the breeze is constant and cold. The oscillating is awesome. Especially needed upstairs, where it gets warmer than the downstairs. Love this product!!" —Frequent Amazon customer
Get it from Amazon for $49.99.
2. And a portable bladeless fan to prop right up on your desk so you're not sweating over your keyboard. The rechargeable battery = no outlet required, and the soft LED light gives off an inviting glow.
Promising review: "This fan has been a lifesaver this summer. With brutal Tennessee heat and hot flashes, I can set it on my desk or bathroom counter and get cooled down quickly. It was so nice I bought two, and three of my friends have also bought one. Great price. Super quiet. Cools down quickly. Love that it is portable." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $42.97+ (available in three colors).
3. A bamboo laptop desk that'll keep your stomach and legs from burning up while you're doing computer work in bed, on the couch, etc. Oh, and as a bonus, maybe now your laptop won't keep overheating and crashing!
The lap desk can fit laptops with up to 15.6" displays, holds up to 17 pounds, and features five angled positions. It also has a small drawer on the side to store small things like pens, notepads, or your phone.
Promising review: "I recently have had to stay in a chair or in bed for long periods of time. My laptop gets quite hot. Reaching for drinks is (literally) a pain in the arm. This little tray put everything in reach and totally cooled off my lap. Its construction is sturdy, and it is built well. I really have enjoyed it, and I love that it keeps everything that I need right where I need it when I have to work from my bed." —msaonika
Get it from Amazon for $33.99.
4. A ventilated memory foam pillow so you'll be able to sleep on the cool side of the pillow, every time. The hole-dotted design maximizes airflow and helps control temperature, so the nights of you waking up drenched in sweat can be a thing of the past.
The zip-on cover is removable and can be machine-washed.
Promising review: "Fantastic pillow. The perfect balance between support and softness. I usually dread new pillows, as I always have to break them in for a few weeks to get a good night's sleep. This is the first pillow I ever tried new and got the best sleep in a long time. I didn't wake during the night to shift my pillow or to change sides. I normally sweat on my pillow, and this pillow was completely dry. The gel in the foam really does work at cooling. Highly recommended. Only advice is to expect the pillow to air out over a day or two. This is normal and nothing to worry about in regards to foam." —Zainab N. Nawaz
Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in three sizes).
5. And a cooling blanket for anyone who likes being swaddled at night, but without feeling like they're trapped in a sauna. It's made from cooling fibers that absorb body heat, and can reduce your body temp by up to 5 degrees!
The dual-sided design makes it great for year-round use, too! The moisture-wicking yarn on top is ideal for summer, and you can flip it to the 100% cotton side for spring and fall.
Promising review: "I love this blanket! I have been going through night sweats for years now. So bad I usually change my nightgown about three times a night. Not only is that gross, but it leads to horrible sleep. I always slept with two fans on me and never blankets, just sheets and a very expensive electric bill. BUT NOW...this blanket is so soft and cooling. I received it yesterday, and for the first time I slept through the night! The entire night! I was shocked!! It's so worth the money. Actually it's going to SAVE me money! Also, actual sleep. That's priceless." —xly
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors).
6. Or a super-breathable duvet cover, which is constructed from eucalyptus lyocell fiber (airier than cotton!). Plus, it's hypoallergenic and antimicrobial (see ya, germs!), and filled with 100% recycled water bottles ♻️
Based in Oceanside, New York, Comma is a small home goods business focused on using eco-friendly materials whenever possible. They also donate 10% of their sales to organizations dedicated to helping the homeless.
Promising review: "I've never had a softer cover than this, and it's always cool to the touch. They placed ties all around the inner edges so my comforter never moves, and the zip-up closure is super convenient. Absolutely the best duvet cover I've ever owned." —Daria
Get it from Comma for $115+ (available in queen or king sizes).
7. And! A fan favorite set of cooling bed sheets (they have over 100,000 5-star ratings!) you'll want in all of the 40+ colors they come in once you see how non-sticky they make you feel come morning.
It comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcase.
Promising review: "Best sheets ever! Exceptionally soft and cozy. Slept in them during the heat of the summer, and they keep you cool. Also slept in them during the cold winter months, and you stay very warm with the addition of a comforter. Wash and dry is very quick. They come out of the dryer with no wrinkles!" —Gigi
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in seven sizes and 40+ colors/prints).
8. A breezy linen and cotton blend cap sleeve dress that'll allow for extra airflow on days when pants just won't do. And it's just really cute!
AnySize is a small biz that makes beautiful tailored garments to fit, as their name says, any size!
Promising review: "Exactly as I expected and a perfect fit!" —Jenn Hansen
Promising review: "Lily has done an amazing job on my dress; it's beautiful, and I will order more from her in the future. Thank you, Lily!!!" —Karen
Get it from AnySize on Etsy for $58.30+ (available in women's sizes S–6XL and in 39 colors — you can also provide your measurements for a custom fit).
9. And a light as a feather sleep tee dress made of breathable, moisture-wicking fabric so you stay comfy and sweat-free throughout the night. It's basically like sleeping naked, but better.
Sheex is a woman-owned small biz that wants to help you doze off more comfortably with their super-soft bedding and sleepwear.
Promising review: "I’m all about staying cool at night, and this gown does just that! It’s soft and doesn’t cling... I love it!" —Sheila J.
Get it from Sheex for $51.75 (originally $69; available in sizes XS–XXL and three colors).
10. A set of hair claws, so not only will you feel cool with your hair pulled away from your neck, you'll also look cool in a perfectly '90s throwback kinda way.
Each set comes with four hair clips.
Promising review: "I didn't even think they made these clips anymore! I haven't been able to find them in stores and didn't even think about looking online, then I just happened across these, and I am SOOOO HAPPY!! I can twist my hair up and snap one of these babies on in seconds, and BAM! Instant relief from the heat, and it keeps my hair out of my face. All without giving me a tension headache like most clips and ponytail holders do. There are four of these in the pack, and the colors are beautiful. The spring is strong and snaps tight, so it holds your hair without sliding out easily. Definitely recommend and will be buying more!!" —melanie hawkins
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 18 different color sets).
11. A pair of blackout curtains that'll help lower your electricity bill when you want to cool things down without having to turn on every fan and AC in your home. They block up to 99% of light and UV rays, and provide extra insulation against high outdoor temps.
Promising review: "Love these! My son’s room was consistently warm despite having central air. It’s also freezing in the winter. He’s got five windows, and this is an old house, so I figured there was nothing I could do. After 20+ years I had a lightbulb moment and decided to purchase these curtains and see if they helped. WOW, not only is it almost completely dark in there, but the temperature has gone way down! These aren’t the hardcore insulated ones, but they are much thicker than the drapes they replaced, and the light blocking is almost 100%. I threw them in the dryer with a sheet of Bounce for 10 minutes or so, and the wrinkles from being packaged came right out." —what.it.is
Get it from Amazon for $20.90+ (available in 46 sizes and colors)
12. A tube of antiperspirant lotion for anyone who's ever experienced excessive hand sweating and is like, no more! Just dab a bit of this onto your hands in the morning and at night so it can work its sweat control magic and you can go about your day with dry palms.
Promising review: "My daughter has had hyperhidrosis her whole life. She literally dripped sweat (...drops!) from her hands and feet. She has been using this product for a few weeks twice a day on her hands, and it has stopped her sweating where even prescription options have failed. As it started to work for her, she said her hands felt 'chalky.' I felt her hands, and for the first time in her life they felt like everyone else's hands normally feel. Her self-esteem has instantly increased. I'm so glad I found this product. It's amazing." —Shannon Nintzel
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
13. A Breville smart toaster oven that, I can say from personal experience, bakes, roasts, and toasts just as well as a full-size oven (without heating up your whole kitchen). If you're craving homemade cookies in July but don't wanna feel like a sweaty mess after one batch, this bb's got you covered.
Just know that this heats up in no time and works like an absolute ~charm~. I was on Thanksgiving hosting duty last year, which I was looking forward to — until my oven decided to completely break down the week leading up to the holiday. 🙃 LUCKILY, my mother-in-law let me borrow her Breville toaster oven, which we were able to bake every side and dessert in — essentially, everything but the turkey (which she ended up cooking) had a turn in this thing. And not only were we able to cook everything on our original menu, but nothing was lost in terms of flavor or texture, and you'd never know we hadn't used a full-size oven. In fact, the apple pie I baked in it (pictured) might've been the best I've ever made! If there was anything I was most thankful for that year, it was this miracle machine. PS: While it heats up super quickly, the warmth stays contained to the inside rather than making your whole kitchen feel like a furnace.
Promising review: "This oven is life changing! Everything bakes so evenly. I use this more than our primary oven." —Eric Sales
Get it from Amazon for $269.95.
14. And an 11-in-1 Instant Pot with a special air fryer lid that'll replace pretty much all of your other kitchen appliances — and best of all, you'll be able to enjoy a warm meal without so much as turning on a burner.
It's got air frying, roasting, baking, dehydrating, pressure cooking, slow cooking — takes breath — steaming, sautéeing, sterilizing, warming, rice cooking, and yogurt making functions!
Promising review: "This has changed my life! The air fryer is SO MUCH more efficient than my old air fryer. I was able to get rid of my rice cooker, Crock Pot, and air fryer. The Sous Vide mode is a game changer in making perfect medium-rare meats. You can throw meat in there frozen, and it comes out super tender and never dry. Just BUY IT!!!!" —susie v clewellclancy
Promising review: "What else can you say about this product? It will replace three appliances that I use on a regular basis — rice cooker, air fryer, and pressure cooker. That's important to me because at this point kitchen space is at a premium. The packaging is great, the instructions are very clear and well written, and it works very well. The first use was to make chicken bone broth using the pressure cooker feature. It worked flawlessly. Two-hour cook time. It takes 10 minutes prep, 30 minutes to cool off. Three hours later I had homemade bone broth in the refrigerator. And the whole house didn't smell for 24 hours like it would with an open pot method. Anyway, the Instant Pot is a huge kitchen innovation IMO. Just get one, and use it." —Josh Brainard
Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in two sizes and styles).
15. And! A nonstick microwave pasta cooker for nights when you want spaghetti for dinner, but the thought of standing over a pot of boiling water seems like cruel and unusual punishment.
Promising review: "I love pasta, but I hate *making* pasta. Too many pots, pans, strainer, cleanup, etc. Forget it. And after a long day at work when I am craving pasta, all I want to do is eat right away. This pasta cooker cooked pasta better than I have ever cooked pasta in my life. I am Italian, so as you can imagine I have eaten (and made myself) a LOT of pasta. This product is a game changer. It was extremely easy to use, cooked quickly, and it came out PERFECTLY. Not over cooked, a little al dente, but not firm. Perfection. Now I have no excuse not to cook pasta for myself (and my husband) practically every day. BUY THIS. It will change your life." —Hope Lanza
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
16. An ingenious cooling headband to prevent dreaded forehead sweat when your apartment feels like a furnace. Just pop in the included mini ice packs for hands-free relief.
It can also help with headaches and hot flashes!
La Parea Wellness is a small biz based in Ramsey, New Jersey, specializing in holistic body and home products like aromatherapy oils, candles, and soaps.
Promising review: "This is great! It keeps the cold packs right where I need them. Thank you!" —Kim Glenn
Get it from La Parea Wellness on Etsy for $25.
17. Or a refreshing ice roller your face will thank you for when it's sweating buckets on a 99-degree day. Stick it in the freezer, apply your favorite moisturizer on your face, and then sweep the roller all over for a cold treat that's *almost* as good as a visit from the Good Humor truck.
If you suffer from migraines or puffiness, this can also provide some cooling relief for those as well!
Promising review: "I got this ice roller three days ago, and so far I LOVE it! I had a debilitating migraine yesterday, and while I cannot say that it cured it, rolling it on my neck and forehead definitely helped. Then today after working in my garden for two hours, I came in the house sweating and about to pass out, and relief was instantaneous! I love this thing so much I am buying another. Do yourself a favor — just buy one!" —dblchocmint
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors).
18. A handy portable fan so you won't look like one of Salvador Dali's melting clocks just from walking around your house (and anywhere else you go this summer)!
Promising review: "This was the best purchase I’ve made all year. I take it everywhere including day parties, NBA games, NFL games, soccer games, barbecues, homecoming, everywhere! It fits in small purses when it folds up and has an incredibly long battery life! And it gets everyone’s attention, and everyone wants one!" —B.Rob
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four colors).
19. Or a hands-free personal fan I can see being very useful when you're doing chores, making dinner, or literally just existing this summer.
The rechargeable fan lasts for up to 16 hours, and it has six different speed settings.
Promising review: "The older I get, the less tolerant of the heat I become, and I live in Texas where summers can sometimes last eight months, so I was anxious to try this fan. I was NOT disappointed! My order arrived a day early, and since It was 97 degrees F outside, I immediately ripped open the box and turned it on. I was not disappointed! It fit comfortably over my neck, and the dual fans are adjustable so you can position them however is most comfy for you. The unit has six settings from soft, intermittent breeze to the highest constant speed, which is my personal favorite choice, since I sweat easily, and this keeps me the coolest. I've been saying for years that someone needs to make a personal fan that hangs over your shoulders or around your neck, and someone finally has!" —Shirley Doubleu
Get it from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in five colors).
20. A popular and inexpensive cold brew maker (40,000+ 5-star ratings!) for anyone who would rather skip the process of boiling water during a heatwave, thank you very much. With this, you just add ground coffee, cold water, refrigerate, and done!
Promising review: "Um, this has changed my life. I love cold brew so much but was sick of spending so much at cafes or going to Target every week to pick up Chameleon cold brew concentrate (which is my favorite store-bought brand). I bought this and have been brewing Stone Street coarse-ground cold brew blend per the instructions. It is perfect! Tastes just like the ones I buy for $5-plus elsewhere, and I get the added benefit of full customization in terms of strength/how concentrated. The jug is easy to clean, easy to use, and shatter-proof. Would recommend. :)" —KC
Get it from Amazon for $24.31+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
21. Caudalie's Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist to spritz on your mug when you start to feel sweat creeping down your forehead. It's made of 100% grape water to soothe and hydrate, and some genius reviewers say they stick it in the fridge for an even greater cooling effect!
Promising review: "You know when it is really hot, and you splash cool water on your face? That’s the feeling I got when I first tried this. I love it." —Olaoluwa
Promising review: "This spray is amazing on hot and humid summer days. It refreshes my skin and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky." —bethyvic
22. A compact blender for whipping up ice-cold smoothies, which will probably make up the bulk of your meals when summer's at its most stifling. Oh, and can we talk about how *gorgeous* it is?!
PS: The blending bowl also doubles as a portable thermos, and comes with a screw-on drinking lid and carry cap!
Promising review: "There are so many things to love about this blender! Its sleek design, quiet motor, and overall look make you proud to place it on your kitchen countertop. The most impressive part of the Beast is its blending power. The one-minute interval program is the perfect length of time to ensure all of your ingredients are fully blended. No need to shake the bottle or re-blend multiple times! Each time I've used the Beast I've gotten smooth, creamy smoothies that taste amazing. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect blender!" —Allison K.
Get it from Amazon for $155.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer swears by this thing — read her full review of the Beast Blender!
23. And a silicone ice pop mold you can fill with the aforementioned smoothie mixture and stash in the freezer so you'll always have a refreshing snack on hand. Plus, the flexible design helps your treats *pop* right out.
Promising review: "These are great! We used to use rigid plastic molds, but it was always difficult to remove the frozen ice pop. Because these are flexible, you can easily push up from the bottom to dislodge your frozen treat!" —Bob B
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
24. Some cooling towels for instant relief after your at-home workout. Just wet 'em, wring 'em out, shake 'em, and place 'em wherever you're in need of a little refresh!
Promising review: "I take medicine that has the unwelcome side effect of making my head sweat more than usual. Even simple chores around the house are impossible to do without having a cloth on hand to mop my brow, my neck, and my hair. And going outside to do any kind of work or play? Ugh! My head, neck, and inevitably my shirt are soaked in minutes. I tried one of these tied around my head like a headscarf while cleaning my bathroom, and it was like a miracle! Kept the sweat way down and absorbed what did appear. It did warm up quite a bit by the time I was done, which I attribute to how much sweat my head was producing. I gave it a quick rinse, wring, and shake, then put it back on, and it was so soothing and cooling! I can even feel the cool coming off it when shaking it out after wringing! I think if people are having trouble getting it to feel cold, they probably aren’t shaking it enough. I gave it a couple of good snaps, like shaking out a rug or towel, and it was icy cool." —N. Cawthray
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $13.99.
25. A sweat-proof tee designed with absorbent underarm gussets to soak up condensation from your pits so you stay nice and dry. Plus, it's made with a thermo-regulating fabric that'll keep you cool so you're less likely to sweat in the first place!
Promising review: "Even with using prescription-strength anti-perspirant, I will have pit stains within an hour of putting on a shirt. Because of this, I have almost exclusively worn black shirts for years. But no longer! I bought two of these shirts to try out and can now go all day long with no pit stains! I even tried going on a long walk with a sweater on and did not sweat through it. These shirts are very comfy and are thin enough to be able to wear under another top without having visible lines. This shirt is worth every penny." —K.M.
Promising review: "I am very pleased with The Signature! I was afraid I'd feel really hot wearing it, but I have not felt overheated. The material is breathable and allows fabric to move freely over it. My clothes do not cling or get bunched around it. Most importantly, it has kept my clothing clean and free of sweat stains. I plan on buying another one!" —Meg L.
Get it from Numi for $65 (available in women's sizes XS–1X and seven colors).
26. And a pair of lightweight linen shorts you'll find yourself throwing on whenever you wanna feel like you're wearing close to nothing (aka almost every day).
Magic Linen is a family-owned small biz based in Lithuania that, in addition to clothing, makes dreamy linens for the kitchen, bath, and home.
Get it from Magic Linen for $59 (available in sizes XS–XL and in three colors).
27. A BedJet fan for hot sleepers who could use a little boost in the cooling down at night department. It fits on the side of your bed so you'll feel a nice breeze while you snooze.
And in the winter, there's a heating mode so you'll get your money's worth year round.
Promising review: "There are plenty of glowing reviews for the BedJet. It's worth every single one of them. Very easy to set up and use via app or remote. For anyone that suffers even in the slightest at night, due to being warm or waking up sweating...this is a must have, and to call it a game changer is an understatement. I wish this had been around years before now. Summer sleeping is at a new level of comfort." —Gene Hardison
Get it from Amazon for $449.
28. A cooling gel seat cushion, because butt sweat is a thing, as anyone who works in a chair all day can attest to. And not only will it help keep things from getting too sticky, it'll also offer way more comfort and support than your hard as a rock office chair.
Promising review: "I waited to write this review to make sure that I could be as honest as possible. With that being said...I LOVE THIS CUSHION!!!! So I suffer from severe back pain and have tried many cushions that ultimately go flat or don't offer the support as promised. This does not go flat and keeps my bottom cool all while supporting my lower back. I sit for long periods of time for work, and this is a definite game changer. Invest in yourself to help stop back pain! It's so comfortable I often forget I'm sitting on it." —Ashley Martin
Get it from Amazon for $45.95 (available in three colors).
29. A very essential and splurgeworthy portable air conditioner for anyone who's ever had the joy of living somewhere without central air, and would rather not be confined to the one room with a window unit this summer. It's got wheels so you can roll it (rather than lifting it) all around your house!
Now, you will still need to place it near a window so the exhaust hose has somewhere to go (it comes with a window kit), but even the smallest one can cool spaces of up to 150 square feet!
Promising review: "We don't often need AC in our home, but when we do, I'm so happy that we have this AC unit. It's super easy to install/uninstall and doesn't take up much storage space. The wheels make it easy to move, and it's compact. I find that it's a bit noisy, but I'll take the hum of this AC unit over sweating to death in our house!" —5ubr054
Get it from Amazon for $339.99+ (available in six styles).
