Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "This cooling memory foam mattress has completely transformed my sleep! I used to toss and turn all night, waking up feeling sweaty and uncomfortable. But this mattress is a different story. It cradles me in luxurious comfort, providing unparalleled support and pressure relief. The cooling gel infusion is a true lifesaver, keeping me cool and comfortable even during the hottest summer nights. I wake up feeling refreshed and energized, ready to conquer the day.

6. A hands-free wearable fan for 33% off that'll clip onto your waistband or you can wear around your neck because we could all use a little more breeze atm.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "These were a lifesaver! We used them while at multiple theme parks in the summer, and they have worked wonderfully. The fact that they clip to your waist, hold your shirt down, and blow air up your shirt is a way better way to keep cool than just an external fan. I have bought several of these, and would highly recommend! A couple of these lasted all day, as long as you are not constantly running them full blast." —Greg

7. A waterproof phone pouch for up to 26% off worth stocking up on now so you can capture all kinds of fun water-adjacent memories without compromising that tiny computer you take with you everywhere. Can't wait to see your slow-mo TikTok of you on a jet ski like Kenny Powers.

Amazon, amazon.com

It also comes with a lanyard, so you can wear it around your neck. Fits all smartphones up to 7" diagonal size.

Promising review: "This product is incredible. I purchased it to use while in Key West for an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus, and Galaxy S6 Edge, and it fits perfectly for each phone (but a little more snug with the iPhone 6 plus). It is completely waterproof and takes great photos and video through the case, but you have to press record prior to submerging the case underwater. My family went snorkeling and kept the case with the phone inside submerged almost the entire time and had no issues with leakage. My family and I got stopped numerous times by being asked where we purchased this product. Perfect, even if you are just on the beach and you do not want to get sand or sunscreen on your phone, and still want to take photos/text/browse the internet while on the beach. I will be purchasing this for everyone in my family as it has become a travel must-have! I highly recommend this product." —Amber Smith

Price: $6.99 (typically $9.41; available in 14 colors)

8. A set of high-velocity fans for 38% off if you're trying to make working in your garage more manageable this summer. But reviewers also use them in the house for a breeze!

Amazon

Promising review: "These are just great fans... put out a large amount of air, all metal, and last for years. I have window AC units and put one in front of each, and it makes a huge difference in cooling and electric bills." —Dennis Lodge

Price: $104.99 (originally $169.99)

9. A lightweight, super compact folding beach chair for 34% off that will become your new address during the summer months. Reviewers love how packable this is for beach trips and camping!

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "We got these to pack in our suitcases for a beach trip and they were perfect! They fit nicely in our suitcases, which was important. They weigh closer to 7 pounds, so they're not the lightest, but they still worked. They are very easy to set up and very comfortable! The cup holder is a great feature, too." —lucas

Price: $31.99 (typically $48.37)

10. A Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan for 20% off (that's the first-ever recorded discount) if you loveeee walking through the misters at Disney and want to bring the experience home. This bb — which can be configured as a pedestal or tabletop fan — lowers temperatures by up to 12 degrees, and you can even pop some ice cubes in the tank for extra chill!

Amazon

Promising review: "We love this fan. Not only can you spray water through an attachment that goes to the fan, but you can charge the fan itself, disconnect it from the stand, set it up on a table, and it will run for about four hours with no electricity required. It will also run for about four hours before having to be recharged. You won't regret this purchase." —Nan Lindstrom

Price: $199.99 (originally $249.99)

11. A Ninja Artisan outdoor pizza oven for 33% off (the lowest it's been!) with an impressive 5-in-1 functionality that can make pizza, bake, broil, warm, and proof. Once it's preheated, you'll have restaurant-quality pies with melty, gooey cheese ready to devour in just three minutes. Choose from various settings to get your preferred pizza style, whether it be pan, thin crust, New York, Neapolitan, or custom.

amazon.com, amazon.com

It includes the pizza oven, a 12" x 12" pizza stone, 12" x 12" bake pan, and quick start guide with inspiration recipes!

Promising review: "Wow, what a powerful oven. I divided the pizza dough into three sections and cooked pizza at three temperatures to find the best combination, after using the dough recipe in the included book. I liked the 550 temperature because the crust was not overly cooked or undercooked. You definitely can not walk away from the oven or get busy making another pizza as it cooks super fast. It’s best to test out the oven to find your sweet spot. I’m in love with the versatility of this oven. I’ve been wanting to cook more pizza outside in the summer to reduce heating the house. Highly recommend this oven " —Brooks

Promising review: "The best little ice cream maker that ever was. I used this to make dairy-free ice cream and look at it!! It tastes as good as it looks!! The price is good. It is super easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. It’s small and compact and doesn’t take up a huge amount of space. We got the double bowl one because we have two kids and it’s great. Hands down a summer fave!" —Shabana

Price: $27.99 for the maker and two bowls (originally $39.99; also available with one bowl) — and shop all the Dash deals here

13. An inflatable mattress for 31% off if you've been mulling over investing in one, so the next time the cousins spend the night, it'll be far comfier. Not that this will stop the giggles and get everyone off to sleep any faster....

amazon.com

And it'll hold up to 650 pounds!

Promising review: "Ordered this for a sleepover and it's so easy to inflate, our 8-year-old can do it on her own. It's high enough for an adult to get on and off easily. It is sturdy and comes with a carrying case." —DLB

Price: $79.98 (originally $115.99)

14. A 10-pack of jumbo vacuum storage bags for 33% off so you can pack away some winter stuff and actually see what else you've got in your closet. They're also great for squeezing more stuff into your suitcase!

amazon.com

Promising review: "Does the job as described and does it well! Easy to follow instructions, the JUMBO size is what is pictured here with three memory foam pillows, perfect for travel with limited surface area space. Overstuffing initially could cause tears, but that’s on you haha." —Niki Nesnidal

Price: $19.99 (originally $29.99)

amazon.com

Promising review: "If you're looking to stay organized on the go for yourself or with kids, I cannot recommend this enough! I've used packing cubes before that were poor quality. The quality of this product exceeded my expectations. The material and zippers are lightweight yet durable. Packing for my daughter and me on our last trip was a breeze with these packing cubes! Highly highly recommend!" —es86

Price: $17.99 (typically $24.99; available in 17 colors — not all colors on sale) 

16. A 62-quart wheeled Coleman cooler for 20% off (tied for its lowest price ever) made to keep ice cold for up to five days. It'll be handy for a beach day but incredible for your family's annual camping trip.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Took ours camping, had us and three kids opening and closing it all week — ice still frozen by the end of the trip. Brought the cooler home, didn’t get to unpack it until two days after the trip, opened it up and found a beer — Coors with the mountains still blue. So, for a total of six days outside in the heat (high was 89), it was still ice cold. Best money I’ve ever spent on a cooler. The lid doesn’t stick, and the wheels make it so easy to tote around. We filled ours up to the top, fit eight Philly's, a pack of hot dogs, a pack of sausages, water, frozen water bottles, a total of 32 beers, chocolate bars (that didn’t melt), 12 breakfast burritos, a pack of ham, and a pack of bologna. Compact, but it holds a lot. 10 out of 10." —Amazon Customer

Price: $59.99 (originally $74.99)

17. A pair of pickleball paddles for 30% off so you can stop borrowing your neighbor's every time someone wants to play. (Perhaps it would be wise to pick up an extra pair to help sway some converts.)

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "These were my first pickleball paddles I ever purchased. I have had them for two years now, and they are still in great condition! I probably have played bout 50 games with them. The damage is minimal, but it is solely from my scraping the ground with them occasionally. I haven't had to use the extra band wraps, they are still intact. For a beginner, they work very well! My friends who have borrowed them like them as well. Worth the price point for sure!" —Sarah

Price: $34.99 (originally $49.99)

18. A *folding* Adirondack-style chair for $30 off that you can load up in the car for your camping trip or just leave in the backyard for lazy summer evenings.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Love the quality of this product! Only thing is you might need someone else helping put it together because it is a little difficult to get the arms on alone but other than that super easy directions! Definitely will buy again! Might need more chairs for the backyard! Great quality for the price! Mom tested, Daughter approved!" —Amanda Palmer

Price: $99.99 (typically $129.99; available in eight colors)

19. A pair of flatform espadrille sandals for up to 26% off if you have a phobia of slide sandals (same) but need your old dogs to breathe this summer.

amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are true to size and are so comfy. I wore them for family pictures and was on my feet for a few hours straight, and my feet never hurt once." —Libby

Price: $27.99+ (originally $37.99; available in 10 colors and women's sizes 5–11)

20. A Marshall Bluetooth speaker for 33% off (its lowest price yet) in case you need a speaker design that's also a vibe for all your summertime (indoor) hangs with pals.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "It’s hard to think there are any speakers 'better' than this one when you hear it. The sound quality is flawless, even at a super loud volume. I love the aesthetic. It not only looks great, it feels great quality to the touch. It’s surprising how good the sound is from a speaker this size. Buy this for your room instead of the Marshall Stanmore and Marshall Woburn unless you plan on having the volume cranked for parties all the time. However, this one is pretty pricy, so if you want the same retro look as the Marshall speakers for about $100 cheaper, check out the brand Lonzuer on Amazon. Overall, this speaker is amazing for my bedroom, and I’d recommend it if you have the money." —Jake Beaman

Price: $199.99 (originally $299.99; available in two colors on sale)

21. A seven-piece modular sectional for up to $100 off because we're far enough into summer for you to realize that your current patio setup is severely lacking. It's made of high-quality wicker, has water-resistant cushions, and is easy to clean — all for the lowest price it's ever been.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this set and would most definitely purchase again! Its comfortable and the cushions are a soft material unlike others that are kinda crunchy feeling." —kate herron

Price: $499.99 (typically $599.99; available in 24 colors)
