How I chose the best cooling buys for the heatwave
Amazon: I've opted for Amazon predominantly for this feature, because the heatwave is taking place right now and we need these purchases, like, yesterday.
Price: You don't want to spend a fortune on products for a heatwave, so I've tried to keep them affordable and on sale where possible.
Quirky: I didn't want this to be a roundup of just fans and your predictable cooling buys, so I added in a few quirky buys into the mix as well.
Best cooling products for the 2026 heatwave
Scroll on for our edit of the best cooling products you can buy online now to survive the heat, from cooling bedding and pillows to refreshing face sprays and skincare.
"If you're looking for a portable fan but want to go hands-free, this is a game-changer. Lightweight and silent, it will cool you down when you're on the move and it sits around your neck like a pair of headphones."
"This double-sided cooling blanket regulates body temperature by rapidly pulling sweat from skin and accelerating evaporation for continuous cooling comfort. What's more, it's exceptionally light, soft and more breathable than cotton blankets."
"If you want to take a fan to the office, or you have a home office that's feeling a little too warm, a desk fan will be your saving grace. I'll be shopping the pink one but there are other colours to choose from."
"This is a must-have for your beauty routine. Not only is it super refreshing, it also brightens and depuffs your skin. It helps to improve skin by toning, sculpting, contouring, lifting while creating a healthy radiant glow to the skin by stimulating blood circulation. You can use tap or bottled water, and as seen in the photo above, you can formulate for your specific skin needs, for example using soothing rose water, lemon water for brightening your skin or green tea for an anti-inflammatory effect."
"The unique cooling system uses moisture from the towel to draw the sweat away from your skin to keep you cool. Everyone can use the cooling towel, even pets. Genius."
"This face spray isn't just refreshing, it also boosts moisture levels and soothes dry, dehydrated skin. Keep it in the fridge if you like it extra cold."
"Introducing the perfect way to keep your wine at the perfect temperature! Simply place the chiller in the freezer and insert into your favourite bottle of wine and it keeps wine cool for up to one hour. Perfect when you're dining with friends."
"We can't forget our four-legged pals in the heatwave. I'll be buying my little Coco one of these genius buys. Just soak the bandana in water and the special material inside will do its work."
"Get that cold side of the pillow feeling 24/7 with the Silentnight Pillow. It's designed to increase airflow and regulate your temperature. The pressure activated cooling gel pad helps to absorb excess body heat so you can enjoy a blissfully cool night's sleep with no pillow flipping needed!"
"If you're looking for an upgrade for your handheld fan, this one is a modern option. There's a scroll switch design, and the wind speed can be adjusted easily. The portable fan can customise speeds from 1 to 100, meeting your various wind power needs in any situation."
"Obsessed with your Stanley cup? This ice-cube mould is so ideal for all-day ice-cold water. I've seen this trending on TikTok, and there are other colour options available."
