I wouldn't have slept a wink so far this summer if it weren't for these 4 Prime Day deals — and they're still live
I live in the UK, which means no AC. Even when temperatures are reaching new highs, there's not much us Brits can do to keep cool at night and get quality sleep. So, when I found the HandFan Misting Fan for just $18 at Amazon, as well other cooling gadgets on sale, I was keen to give them a try. After not using any cooling product on the Saturday night and lying awake until the early hours, I put the four I'd found in the Prime Day sales to the test on Sunday. I was a little sceptical about misting water over myself at night. Would it ruin my mattress? Would I wake up damp? But I needn't have worried. The result was finally some quality sleep. Despite the Prime Day sales event having ended, my four top picks are still discounted. Read on to find out how they transformed my sleep during this recent heatwave. But I'd recommend acting fast if you're tempted to buy them before the next hot spell. It's difficult to know when these sleep and mattress sales will end. HandFan Misting Fan: was $23.99 now $18.99 at AmazonThis portable fan has three power settings, a low breeze, medium and high. On top of this, you can turn the misting setting on at any point to take advantage of the small water tank attached to it. With a handle that folds to create a stand, this fan is perfect for a bedside table, on-the-go travel or just throughout your home. It's rechargeable and comes with a USB-C cable. Despite its small size, it boasts an impressive battery life of up to 10 hours, but it also will automatically turn off after two hours, making it perfect for falling asleep with. There's 20% off at Amazon, but we don't know how much longer it will last, so it's worth picking up this bargain heatwave-essential ASAP. I put this misting fan to the test last night when temperatures had soared all day and my bedroom had trapped A LOT of heat. I filled up the small tank with water and balanced the fan on my bedside table, putting it onto the 'low' breeze mode with the misting feature on. I lay down and closed my eyes. Heaven. The mist is so fine there's no chance of feeling damp or wet, in fact, you can barely tell its water. Instead, it creates a super cool breeze that feels like aircon against the skin. I filled it with room temperature water, so I can only imagine how effective it would be if I put in chilled or ice water. While the fan is quite loud, that didn't bother me since I wear earplugs to bed anyway. But it might be enough to keep some people up. It was so effective for cooling before bed that my husband and I ended up fighting over it. In fact, it was far more effective compared to our full-size fan set up in our bedroom that just circulates room temperature air without any misting. It helped us both cool down enough to fall asleep relatively quickly, rather than tossing and turning for hours. Last night, I also reached for the 3 other essentials to help keep me cool throughout the night. And considering I didn't wake up once, I think they worked a treat. Bedsure Cooling Blanket: was from $32.99 now from $19.99 at AmazonI hate not having anything to snuggle up under when I sleep. Even when I'm boiling hot, I like to feel cozy. But this recent heatwave made that impossible. So, instead of going without any kind of blanket, we opted for the Bedsure Cooling Blanket. Made from a super thin rayon derived from bamboo fabric, it's cool to touch and moisture wicking. In fact, Bedsure claim it is 10 times more breathable and absorbent than cotton. It was the perfect layer to snuggle under without overheating. Right now, it's only $19.99 for an extra large throw size, or upgrade to a queen size for $37.59 (was $59.99), which is a low price for cooling bedding. Reusable Cooling Gel Packs: was from $17.99 now from $14.37 at AmazonThis was the ultimate savior. When nothing else was working, placing these cooling gel packs on our pulse points was incredibly effective for lowering our body temperature. We both lay there occasionally shifting the packs from our wrists, to our feet, to our neck and on our thighs. It felt like it only took around 10 minutes for my body temperature to drop. Combining this with the fan and cooling blanket meant I was comfortable and ready to fall asleep quickly. Joyaria Cooling Bamboo Pajamas: was from $48.99 now from $46.54 at AmazonEven though it feels right, you shouldn't sleep naked during a heatwave. By doing this, the sweat is more likely to stay on your body which can actually trap heat. Instead, wearing pajamas made from a moisture-wicking material will absorb the sweat, leaving you cool, dry and fresh. I admit I didn't wear my full Joyaria Bamboo Pajama Set because I couldn't stand the idea of being fully clothed — but instead, I just wore the night shirt and that worked perfectly. This, paired with our bamboo bed sheets, organic wool mattress and bamboo mattress protector, meant despite the heat, our bed still felt fresh and dry in the morning.

Promising review: "OMG, I love these sandals. I have never had a shoe/sandal that has as many straps as this one does fit so well EVERYWHERE. The back strap and ankle-top strap are NOT adjustable. These worried me when I first got them — I am used to buying shoes/sandals that can I adjust more, BUT the straps on this sandal are so soft and comfortable and just stretchy enough that I was able to wear them for hours right out of the box. I thought at first that my toes were too close to the end, but I wore them anyway, and they feel great! No toe pain or too tight feeling! I have to say they are a perfect fit which I never experience. Also, if you are new to Keens, they have superior foot support — I have knee arthritis and need a comfortable and supportive shoe, and I can wear these for HOURS. They put a bounce in my step and a smile on my face! They look nice too! They are rugged, for sure. I wore them on a trip down the Cali coast, through Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado.

A cushy pair of slide-on slippers that, according to reviewers, feel like walking on a big fluffy cloud or a soft, pillowy marshmallow. Either way, sign me up! Aerothotic flip-flops because these ones actually have adequate arch support — so much arch support that reviewers with plantar fasciitis swear by these shoes. See? Dreams really do come true! Or Vionic orthotic sandals for footwear that's as comfy as it is cute. Beneath those adorable little bows, you'll find three-zone comfort features, including deep heel cups, arch support, and ample cushioning. A pair of these trendy two-strap sandals if you want the look and feel of Birks minus the expensive price tag and painful rubbing. Some reviewers even think these ones are softer and comfier than the name brand — and with nearly 60,000 5-star ratings, you can be sure these won't disappoint. The cutest Skechers cork wedges that are absolutely perfect for casual weddings or cute picnic dates in the park. Hard to say what you'll love more: their adorable aesthetic or the foam-cushioned contoured footbed!

The secret? Cushioned insoles and perfectly placed straps. Crocs flip-flops that don't look like the typical Crocs, but offer a similar feel in terms of comfort. We're talking lightweight and flexible support that makes these bbs perfect for poolside lounging and casual strolls alike. Or these strappy Crocs sandals if you want the same comfort and convenience the brand is known for, only a more aesthetic design than the classic clogs or flip-flops. Whether you're a diehard Crocs lover or new to the cult, you're gonna want these cuties in your collection. Surprisingly cute Skechers sport sandals because their contoured footbeds will keep your feet happy even on your longest treks. Skechers rhinestone slingbacks to glam up even your most basic and plain outfits with a bit of *sparkly* fun. Plus, your feet will feel like absolute royalty, thanks to the yoga foam sole.

Braided Plaka sandals that combine functionality with a breezy boho aesthetic, aka the perfect combo for oceanside strolls. The straps fit snugly around the foot without rubbing or pinching while the rubber soles are durable enough for sand, beach rocks, and other rough terrain. A pair of braided chunky heels to slip on whenever you need a chic little going-out shoe, for instance at evening happy hour, weddings, date night, or brunch with the gals. According to reviewers, these are actually comfy enough to wear all night long, too! A vegan suede sandal for when you want something simple but still very stylish. These come in all different kinds of colors and patterns (including a chic cheetah-print pattern), but have only the slightest hint of a heel — so don't be surprised if you completely forget about it and think you're wearing comfy flats instead.

A 15/10 for me." —Rhonda"These are comfortable and cute. I wore them to a wedding, and I didn't even take off my shoes to go dance. I thought for sure I would be taking them off while dancing, but I didn't. I also had blisters on my heels from a few days before from another pair of shoes, and these didn't rub against the blisters. I love these, and I'm tempted to get a pair in another color." —Kate McGeeGet it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 6—11, wide sizes, and six colors and styles). Naturalizer ankle strap sandals that are timelessly beautiful *and* timelessly comfortable. They're crafted with the brand's signature Contour+ technology, which is basically open-cell foam cushioning that conforms to the shape of your foot! A cute pair of Toms block heels to wear at brunch, art galleries, summer weddings, or any other occasion that demands ~elevated~ fashion. The chunky heel means you'll have plenty of support for dancing the night away, should you find yourself getting carried away on the dance floor. And last but not least, flexible leather sandals that almost don't even feel like shoes at all, due to the "barefoot"-inspired soles. So go ahead, skip, and dance around freely in the sunshine, knowing these shoes won't weigh you down or hold you back in the slightest!
