1. An oscillating tower fan that rotates a whopping 120 degrees to cool off everything from the windows to the walls. So the sweat doesn't drip down your — you get the point.
Time to vent: My house has AC but for some strange —and probably expensive to fix reason—the air doesn't get to my bedroom. It's super annoying and leaves my room feeling like Shrek's swamp. I've had other fans but they were so noisy that I'd have to crank the volume on my TV up so loud just to hear Detective Olivia Benson's interrogation. This fan, is 10x quieter than my previous one and I love that I can connect it to my Alexa echo. It can also oscillate at 120 degrees for total room cool down. My room is breezy now, sometimes even downright chilly. Just like mama likes it.
Promising review: "This fan truly exceeded my expectations. I was surprised by the sleek and expensive look and feel the fan had. Took a few minutes to put together —so easy— even with my severely arthritic hands. Much taller than expected but exactly what I wanted. What I love the most is that the length of the fan blows air — where as my much more expensive blade-less fan did not. This also oscillates 120 degrees which makes an amazing difference when trying to cool down the master bedroom that has cathedral ceilings. You can feel the breeze from one end of the room to the other. I think this is going to keep me from having to run my AC all summer which makes me very happy. I would highly recommend this fan. The remote control is even really nice quality — it feels expensive!" —J. Kim

2. A 3-in-1 portable mini fan complete with a built-in power bank and flashlight. It's literally three super-practical products for the price of one. You can carry it with you around the house while you walk from room to room so you never have to be without a breeze.
Promising review: "I needed this for a Renaissance festival that was going to be extremely hot and humid. This fan ran for the entire time with a ton of battery life left to spare, and even held up after getting dropped a few times. The flashlight is also super bright. I definitely recommend this if you're going to be outside on a super hot day for several hours." —M. Klamm
"I am so glad I went ahead and bought this! I used this constantly while in Florida on vacation in the theme parks. The parks are SO HOT in the summer. I can't believe I thought at any point that I should skip buying a portable fan. I also used it as a charger and it has amazing battery power. I basically never ran out of juice and never had to use my backup. This fan kept me sane and pleasant all day long while waiting in lines, eating outdoors, and bruising my feet. I was never too hot! The color I bought is a pretty pastel pink. The bear design is a cute touch. The included wrist strap is large, but it will not fit around your neck. No, I am not speaking from personal experience. No, I will not explain further. The fan has two speeds: fast and super fast. The blades are soft-body, so if you accidentally hit the fan with your hand, it will not cut or bruise you. You can set the fan down on a table by flipping the bear cover out 90 degrees, which I do now when I read outside, or you can keep it parallel for better holding. The charger worked well for my iPhone XS. Pretty much charged it completely from 20% to 100% in 30 mins and had plenty of battery power to run the fan all day. The fan also can be used as a flashlight. The flashlight is pretty bright. I didn't use it, but I can see it being helpful." —Samantha Samuels
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors).
3. An insulated, double-walled can cooler to keep your bevs cold as long as possible. A warm drink on an already warm day — yuck!
This fits a standard 12-ounce slim can, and was designed to still be able to fit in car cup holders. It'll keep drinks icy cold for several hours, and twenty times colder than a standard neoprene can cooler. Psst — you can check out the rest of BrüMate's options for different-sized cans, wines, cocktails, and more.
Promising review: "I bought the Hopsulator Slim in grey so me and my husband could share. We got it on Sunday and we’re already fighting over it! It fits our energy drinks for the morning and slim can beers at night! We have three kids and it kept my drink cold through all three “bedtimes” plus second attempt bedtimes). I’ve already decided to get one for myself so I don’t have to share, now to just decide what color!" —Stephanie Goodyear
Get it from Amazon for $24.98 (available in 30 colors/designs).
4. A handy dandy ice roller for reducing puffiness, redness, and shrinking pores. Some reviewers have also used it to relieve their migraines. It's obvious that this chilly item will feel amazing rolling its icy nature across your face and neck.
Promising review: "I was in the habit of rolling a cold can of soda on my forehead to help with tension headaches and sinus pain but that was cumbersome and not always cold enough. This ice roller works so well to ease the pain from sinuses and tension. It froze very quick and I felt instant relief. The rolling motion even cleared my sinuses and I could breathe better right away. I love this. Would highly recommend." —DT
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors).
5. A cropped brami tank, a combination of a bra and a cami, on the days when you want to wear the least amount of clothes possible. No need to wear a bra AND a cami, you can just wear one top to rule them both.
Klassy Network is a woman-founded small biz from Natalie Rogers. Each of the brand's brami tops is designed with removable padding and you can even buy extras if you need/want!
Promising review: "Love this top so much! The medium fits perfectly! I was expecting the thin pads similar to what is in a swimsuit or sports bra, but these pads feel more like an actual bra and gives good coverage and support! The crop length hits perfect 👌 10/10 would recommend" —Heather K.
Get it from Klassy Network for $35 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and in five colors).
6. A lightweight cotton quilt because you still want to wrap yourself up in swaddling bedding during the night but would prefer not to wake up in a puddle of sweat.
Promising review: "The quilt is the perfect blend of softness and lightness providing warmth and coolness." —Elisabeth K.
"This lightweight quilt truly does feel like a “cloud”. It looks pretty on my bed for summer, but more importantly, it is just the right weight and comfort to sleep well! And not only ME! I have bought this fabulous product for three clients and they all LOVE their cloud quilts! They think I’m a genius for recommending such a quality, beautiful, and luxe product. It truly does change the way you sleep in the warm months. This product is amazing!" —Amanda B.
Get it from Parachute for $259+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
7. A pack of six ice pop molds that'll be waiting around for you whenever you feel the urge to make your own popsicles.
What's included: six reusable ice pop molds, six handles, a tray, a cleaning brush, and a funnel.
Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon. We have made popsicles almost daily since receiving them! They are easy to fill because they stand up well in the tray and they came with a little collapsible funnel to help with pouring. They are super quick and easy to clean up as well. The ice pops are nice and big. If you have a picky eater who loves treats, then this is perfect for you. We put fruits, veggies, Greek yogurt, you name it in there. My toddler loves to help me make the pops and I have the peace of mind that he is getting tons of super good nutrients! Also, some mornings when I’m running a bit behind, I will just grab one of the pops we made and make it my breakfast LOL. For those looking at reviews about having trouble with them breaking or are having a hard time getting the pops out, we have dropped pieces several times and haven’t had any break yet. The pops' stick parts do seem like they could break fairly easy, but we haven’t had any issues. And as far as not being able to get them out of the molds once frozen, running a little hot water over the outside of the pop for a few seconds allows it to slide right out!" —Colleen DiNitto
Get the set from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in seven colors).
8. An insta-worthy pool you can take a relaxing dip in any time you want. And it's big enough to fit you and a few friends.
Promising review: "Luv it !!! It’s perfect to lounge and have a cool dip in a hot summer day!!!" —Jean
"Love it! So stylish and a good size for adults and kids as well. Looking forward to a ~mini dip~ and adult beverage after working from home all day. Where has this pool been all my life? I’m in love." —JenBG
9. A pressure-activated Coleman cooling pad designed to keep your pup or kitty cool on spicy days. It requires no refrigeration and can keep them 5 to 10 degrees cooler! Hmmm.... do they have one for humans?
Promising review: "I have a pug and a toy fox terrier/Chihuahua mix and they absolutely love this thing. I just leave it sitting on the living room floor and they gravitate towards it whenever they need to cool down (they sometimes even fight over it). Both fit simultaneously if they are in the mood for sharing the space. The mat is tough, too! I don't think their nails can penetrate it." —E Marsh
Get it from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in seven colors).
10. A quart-size cold brew maker for a chilled cup of your favorite coffee ready-to-go for you in the morning. It'll save you a few bucks and you won't have to brave the heat to visit your fave local coffee shop.
Just add coarse-ground coffee into the mesh filter, pour water into the pitcher, screw the lid on (with the filter attached and submerged in the water), let it brew for 12–24 hours, and serve. You can pour it straight over ice cubes, or cut it with water or milk. Read our Tayeka cold brew maker review!
Promising review: "I have some stomach issues and hot brewed coffee can make me feel queasy or make my stomach hurt. The reduced acidity of using the cold brew makes a marked difference for me. The flavor is smoother and more flavorful." —Kimberly
Get it from Amazon for $27.82+ (available in two sizes and in three colors).
11. A flexible adjustable mister you can wrap around your deck post to spray you with water continuously. Since your apartment is about the same temp as it is outside, might as well enjoy some cooling mist.
The mister will cool the surrounding area by 20 degrees, and it comes with an interchangeable flower-shaped misting head for a fun, whimsy detail.
Promising review: "Works exactly how I want it to. Provides a fine, cool mist on the patio, allowing us to enjoy the backyard until sunset without breaking a sweat. Easy to set up. It was out of the box and cooling us off within minutes." —Debra L. Kusek
Get it from Amazon for $31.68.
12. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker ideal for vegans (and really anyone!) who wants to make a cool and sweet treat as things heat up outside. This gadget will turn your frozen fruit into delicious soft serve.
Promising review: "Creating soft serve from frozen fruit is awesome and just in time for the hot summer months. It is blending frozen fruit, not magically transforming frozen fruit into an ice cream (for those dreamers out there). It's a great alternative and the kids like it because they can have as much as they want." —stevie hartmann
Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in six colors).
13. A portable hands-free fan — wearable so you can carry around personal AC with you without having to hold it, leaving you wide open to play The Sims, answer emails, or read in a cool environment.
Promising review: "This item works great anywhere you go. It has many different color-changing modes, and three fan speed modes (low, medium, and high). I absolutely love it! It’s very lightweight, which makes it easier when traveling. The motor in the fan is very quiet. You hardly know it’s on. Totally hands-free and easy operation." —Briley akina
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five styles).
14. Some breathable bamboo bed sheets both ultra soft and cool to the touch that'll wick away moisture, which is an essential for hot sleepers.
Promising review: "If you have night sweats, you need to buy these sheets. I do and I bought a set. Oh my, I just love them. Not only are they soft, but they also seem to be cooling. No more night sweats for me." —Linda Leynes
Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes Twin–Cal. King and in 11 colors).
15. A compact USB desk fan ideal for turning your workspace into the ~coolest~ spot in your home. It's little so it won't take up too much space on your desk and reviewers say its quiet so your co-workers won't be able to hear it yelling over virtual meetings.
Promising review: "I love this little desk fan. So much nicer-looking than plastic ones. It's very quiet. I have it plugged into my desk computer at work. Since I am a woman of a certain age, I occasionally need to discreetly stick my head into the breeze of a fan in order to make it through the day. That's what I purchased this for, and it's perfect. I got one for my daughter, but she is young and didn't see the need. I think I will snatch it from her and use it for traveling." —GrilledCheese
Get it from Amazon for $16.46+ (available in two sizes and in two colors).
16. A long-lasting HyperChiller designed to chill your drinks in as little as sixty seconds. It's dishwasher safe, too!
Promising reviews: "Truly, I thought this was a gimmick. Spoiler: It’s not. It really works. And it doesn’t make my coffee taste bitter like putting it in the fridge or freezer does. I am so impressed!" —Cassandra Mercedes Broadwater
"I use this for coffee, tea, and alcohol, and it's made my life so much easier. My preference is always iced coffee over hot, but it's hard to do iced coffee without it getting watered down or taking forever. I usually just drink coffee at the Starbucks where I work, but the easiness of the HyperChiller has me drinking it at home much more often. It cools really fast, almost never taking the full 60 seconds that are recommended. This is one of my favorite coffee tools, and the instructions made it easy to put together." —Sarah Larson
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
17. A set of cool and silky pillowcases with one side formulated with Japanese cooling fabric and the other 100% breathable cotton. It'll be that much easier to sleep on the cool side of the pillow.
Promising review: "Best...Pillowcases...Ever!! I run hot all the time, especially at night. This really helps to keep me cool at night. I fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed. The cool side of the pillow is always your side of the pillow! I actually sometimes get cold during the night. If you wake up in the middle of the night sweating, you need to get this!" —Kim
Get a set of two from Amazon for $18.75+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
18. A set of silicone ice cube trays shaped perfectly to slide into your water bottle so you don't have to become an ice sculptor and chip those old cubes down to size.
Promising review: "I got these to make ice cubes that I could fit into hot water bottles to make 'cold water bottles.' I'm in the big heatwave and it's been over 100 every day for the last week, with no sign of it letting up anytime soon. These are quick and easy and the cold water bottles have been the only thing helping me sleep in a room anywhere between 80–90 degrees at night. I love the lids! It makes my ice trays easy to stack and more secure. I wish all ice trays came with lids like this!" —A.J. Stark
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99+ (available with and without a lid).
19. A super-soft and lightweight bamboo pajama set on the days you don't want to sleep naked. The set is viscose material —made from bamboo— and is loose, breathable, and feels cool against the skin. Yea, might as well pick them up in a few colors.
Promising review: "I do not ever write product reviews, but I just feel the need to share with other women that sleep hot, how great these pajamas are! They are so soft and comfy! I've been sleeping great since I've been wearing these PJs. I sleep hot and usually will wake up every night with the night sweats or the overheated feeling, but I've yet to have this issue with these bamboo PJs. I seem to keep an even body temperature all night long. After sleeping in them for two nights I was convinced these are the answer to a cooler and better sleep, so I ordered more. I normally wear a size small, so I ordered a small and they fit perfectly!! I think that I'll also order these PJs with the pants, for lounging around the house. If you suffer from night sweats or overheat while you sleep, THESE BAMBOO PJs ARE THE ANSWER!!!" —Laurie
Get the set from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in S–4X and in 12 colors).
20. A set of nonslip, super-large claw clips perfect for keeping your hair up and out of the way when it feels like every additional strand is adding an extra degree of heat.
Each set comes with four hair clips.
Promising review: "These hair clips are amazing! They are cute and sturdy. I am able to fit all of my hair in the clip and go about my day without my hair falling down and having to reclip it. That is a first for me! I even did a quick workout and the jumping did not cause my hair clip to fall. If you are looking for a nice hair clip that will stay in place, these are perfect!" —Amanda Davis
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 17 different color sets).
21. A calming and relaxing weighted blanket so you don't have to skip out on amazing naps with those blankets that hug you so tight. It's made of CoolMax Microfiber technology that can help ventilate heat away from your body.
Promising review: "This blanket is wonderful! I was always curious to try a weighted blanket but was skeptical if they actually worked. After reading reviews, I thought I'd give it a try. I am so glad I did. I was having a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. After receiving this blanket, my sleep has improved dramatically and I stay asleep most of the night. I like the option of having the cooling duvet and the warmer one. I am a hot sleeper so I stick with the cool one. The only downside to the blanket is changing the duvets you have to tie countless pieces together for it to stay in place but other than that this blanket is sooo worth it!!" —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in 10 sizes and four colors).
22. A set of room-darkening velvet curtains to turn your room into a sun-free zone sure to help keep the temperatures down. And, it's perfect just in case your vampire friend loses their daylight ring. Now, they'll still be able to hang out.
Promising review: "Purchased these for my studio, which is in an old mill. I wanted them for their insulating properties more than to block out the light because my studio loses a lot of heat at night due to its enormous windows. The curtains/drapes work great for both — I am especially pleased with how well they help keep the space from losing heat! Before having the curtains, the space would lose about 8 degrees in temperature overnight (which in the winter is a significant amount, especially in the Northeast). Now, with the curtains, the space no longer loses heat overnight! It is now so nice to go into my studio in the morning and find it still toasty warm!" —Noname
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in six sizes and 18 colors).
23. An investmentworthy ChiliPad sleep system complete with a reversible hydropowered mattress pad, thermal regulating control unit, and a remote to help you adjust without having to get up. It'll help your bed stay as cool as you need it all night long.
ChiliSleep was founded by Todd and Tara Youngblood and utilizes their experience in science, sales, and product development to create a system that would help people sleep better at night.
Promising review: "I was wary of this as it’s a bit pricey compared to other 'solutions' for being hot at night. Having said that, I don’t regret spending one penny of what it cost me. I now sleep and I never wake up hot, which I was doing constantly before having this. My advice to any woman of a certain age who suffers at night with heat, or indeed anyone who is hotter at night, buy it and you won’t regret it!!" —Tracey
Get it from ChiliSLEEP for $699+ (available in half and full queen to California king sizes).
24. A teensy tiny Dash ice cream maker for all the single-serving froyo you can make.
Promising review: "Convenient size to snuggle into even a VERY crowded freezer. I use Greek Yogurt as my base for everything I've tried so far. Mix in some blended fruit (maybe a bit of honey, if necessary) and put the mix in the freezer for about 45-60 minutes to get it well-chilled. Stir out any lumps and pour into the frozen mixer. WRAP the mixer in a dishtowel to keep it cold a bit longer (and tamper the bit of noise that some reviewers are complaining about), and then start the beater for about 7–8 minutes. You'll hear the motor start to strain when the bottom of the mix starts freezing hard, and at that point I turn it off (don't want to overwork the motor). Take that long spoon, stir up your creation and enjoy! This may sound like a lot of trouble, but besides being a good little dessert (or snack) I think it's a great alternative to making simple smoothies in my Vitamix! AND it's a real breakfast treat on hot summer mornings." —Amazon Customer
