Best Smart Summer Swaps

Most of the country is used to hot Julys, but this year is particularly rough thanks to a major heat wave covering most of the U.S. With temperatures rising well above average and the threat of overworked AC units growing, it’s time to get creative while you figure out ways to keep cool. (In addition to staying indoors and drinking lots of water!)

That’s why we looked to Amazon to find deals on products that’ll help you beat the heat this summer, including clever gadgets, cooling bedding, and smart clothing swaps. Whether you’re looking for a powerful air circulator to give your AC a break or just some naturally breathable bedsheets, these deals will help keep you comfortable throughout the rest of the summer and beyond. 

Best Products You Can Buy at Amazon to Beat the Heat

Dreo TurboPoly Table Air Circulator Fan

If your AC isn’t as dependable as you’d like it to be, replace your regular portable fan with an air circulator. Unlike a typical fan, an air circulator creates a vortex, moving air around the whole room instead of blowing it straight at you. This pick from top-quality brand Dreo is powerful enough to cool down large rooms without being too loud, and is easy to adjust thanks to its remote control. 

Qutool Cooling Pillow Set

This pillow has two key features that make it ideal for hot sleepers. First of all, it’s double-sided: One side is composed of cooling fibers that actually work to lower the surface temperature, while the other is made from a blend of polyester and naturally breathable rayon from bamboo that won’t trap heat. 

Then there’s the interior, which is filled with shredded memory foam that allows for better airflow compared to non-shredded foam. The result is a comfortable, supportive pillow that will keep you cool through the dog days (and nights) of summer.

Columbia Freezer III Dress

Lightweight dresses are already a summer staple, but the aptly named Freezer Dress from Columbia is the only thing you’ll want to wear on the hottest days. It’s made with a special material that pulls moisture from the body and releases trapped heat to create a cooling, quick-drying feel. 

Not only that, but it’s also super lightweight and stretchy, making it ideal for summertime activities. It comes in a nice range of colors and sizes, so you can easily stock up on a few for the entire season—especially considering the 62 percent discount that’s happening right now. 

100% Blackout Shield Linen Blackout Curtain Set

Blackout curtains aren’t just sleep aids—they’re also useful for temperature regulation, meaning that they can help keep your space warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This set of two panels is made with a linen-like fabric that looks more polished than the polyester blackout curtains you typically see. 

It comes in nearly 30 colors and 15 sizes, so you should have no trouble finding the perfect option for your bedroom, living room, or home office.

EcoNour Car Windshield Sunshade

Although it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing purchase, a sun screen for your car’s windshield is one of the most effective ways to keep your car from turning into an oven on hot summer afternoons. 

This particular option is incredibly easy to use: Just pop it open when you need to use it, and fold it up into its storage pouch when you’re done. There are six sizes to suit multiple car types, whether you drive a small sedan or a large truck.
