Live now: Best Prime Day Lightning Deals to shop right now (before they're gone)

SafeRest Waterproof Queen Size Mattress Protector

The Deal: SafeRest Waterproof Queen Size Mattress Protector is $32, down from $70

You Save: Over 54%

Why we like it: SafeRest’s popular mattress cover has over 212,000 5-star reviews to back it up. (One person even shared that the cover shielded his mattress after his wife unexpectedly gave birth in their bed!) The cover protects against dust mites, fluids and bacteria to ensure you and your mattress stay in good shape.

What else to know: Some reviewers don't like that the cover isn't cooling, but that can be corrected with a set of great bamboo sheets.

Levoit Air Purifier

The Deal: The Levoit Air Purifier is $40, down from $50

You Save: 20%

Why we like it: The air quality in your home has a major impact on how well you feel and even sleep. Keeping the air clean is a good idea, especially for just $40 — a fraction of the cost of other air purifiers.

What else to know: It's a smaller machine, so it won't be as effective in large spaces.

Loop Engage Plus Earplugs

The Deal: Loop Engage Plus Earplugs are $31, down from $45

You Save: 30%

Why we like them: These noise-reducing earplugs come with four eartips in different sizes, plus they're designed to prevent that underwater feeling regular earplug wearers can experience (otherwise known as occlusion).

What else to know: Some reviewers say the Loop case isn't as secure as they would like.

Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2

The Deal: Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2 is $108, down from $150

You Save: Nearly 30%

Why we like it: If you're a slow sipper, you're all too familiar with the taste of sad, lukewarm coffee. The Ember keeps your cup of joe at the perfect temperature for as long as you need (all you have to do is adjust how hot you'd like your brew via the easy-to-use app).

What else to know: I love my Ember mug so much that I routinely buy them as gifts for friends and family. The only downside is that it's not dishwasher-safe.

Supa Modern Cooling Bed Pillows

The Deal: Supa Modern Cooling Bed Pillows are $56 for two, down from $70

You Save: 20%

Why we like them: These are a must for hot sleepers; they stay cool throughout the night! Plus, they're designed to be customized — just add or remove the amount of memory foam filler.

What else to know: Some shoppers note that these are a little on the small side.

Chicgal Floral Print Puff Sleeve Cardigan

The Deal: The Chicgal Floral Print Puff Sleeve Cardigan is $14, down from $18.

You Save: 20%

Why we like it: This No. 1 best-seller is perfect to throw on over a swimsuit or layer with a tee, tank or dress. Plus, you can wear it now through Labor Day.

What else to know: Note that it's a little on the short side, so if you want a bit more coverage (especially if you're wearing a swimsuit), make sure to also throw on a pair of shorts.

Jxrev Wireless Earbuds

The Deal: Jxrev Wireless Earbuds are $20, down from $68.

You Save: Over 70%

Why we like them: These earbuds have nearly 6,000 5-star reviews, including plenty of shoppers that compare them to Apple AirPods (which cost several times as much).

What else to know: Some reviewers reported that they have a hard time getting the buds to fit in their ear.

Budding Joy Large Storage Bags

The Deal: Budding Joy Large Storage Bags are $18, down from $45

You Save: 60%, as well as a ton of closet space.

Why we like them: These fit a ton — sweaters, jackets, bedding, extra linens — and take up relatively little room. No wonder over 40,000 Amazon shoppers snagged these in the last month.

What else to know: While these bags are pretty roomy, they're not exactly the most sturdy. I use these for my seasonal wardrobe switch-over and have to be mindful of overstuffing them.

Leggings Depot ActiveFlex Joggers

The Deal: Leggings Depot ActiveFlex Jogger Pants are $16, down from $20

You Save: 20%, depending on the size and color. Tons of shoppers compare these to the Lululemon Align joggers, which cost $59 (and that's the sale price).

Why we like them: They come in 45 colors and prints, as well as two different lengths. They're also the perfect pant for virtually whatever the day holds.

What else to know: If you'd prefer the pants to be a bit more form-fitting, order a size down.

Waterfly Crossbody Sling Backpack

The Deal: Waterfly Crossbody Sling Backpack is $22, down from $35

You Save: 37%, plus it's on par with the lowest price ever. Note that pricing varies based on color.

Why we like it: This No. 1 best-seller has over 30,000 rave reviews, as well as the stamp of approval from Senior Deals Writer Carrie McCabe. She writes in her review: "The Waterfly Crossbody Sling Backpack was the only "purse" I brought on our whirlwind trip through Italy — including Rome, Cinque Terre, Florence and Pompeii — and it held up incredibly through our 10-day adventure. That's no small feat: It was fairly drizzly most of the time we were there, and on certain days, we walked 20,000 steps or more."

What else to know: While it's not explicitly made to do this, the bag can also be used as a fanny pack.

'Like a hot knife through butter': The Saker mini chainsaw is down to $40 — 50% off

The deal: Saker Mini Chainsaw is $40, down from $80.

What else to know: Yahoo Tech editor Rick Broida called these the "best colorful AirPod Pro alternative," but don't worry — they also come in classic black and a pretty creamy oat shade.

These top-rated pillows are down to $23 — 45% off

The deal: Viewstar Pillows are $23 for two, down from $42.

You save: 45%, or nearly $20. This price is as low as we've ever seen on this set.

Why we like them: The set of two pillows have great head and neck support to keep you comfortable while you sleep. The pillows are also versatile enough for side, stomach and back sleepers. And, this is a nice perk: The pillows are machine washable and will retain their shape, even after a spin.

What else to know: Why stop at pillows? This best-selling comforter from Bedsure is on sale for just $19, plus it has the stamp of approval from Deals Writer Britt Ross.

"I feel like I'm getting tucked into a hotel bed every night," she shared. "Even after washing the comforter, it's maintained its marshmallow-like feel so far."

The deal: Bitvae Electric Toothbrush is $15, down from $25.

You save: 40% plus it's the lowest price we've seen in months.

You Save: 30% and it's at its lowest price — The lowest reported Amazon price for this model is $470.

Why we like it: This is an older model Dyson from 2021, but the 30% discount makes it a good buy. When it comes to cleaning power, this Dyson vacuum has stiff nylon bristles that work on both carpets and hard floors. It also has three different modes, which allow the vacuum to adapt its suction capabilities depending on the room, surface or mess type.

What else to know: While this older model didn't make our picks for the best Dyson vacuums of 2024, it still features Dyson's hallmark suction power and convenient wall hanging holder and hardware.

You Save: Over half off, thanks to an additional on-page 10% coupon.

Why we like it: The primary use for this roll-up dish rack is to drip-dry dishes. It completes this task without the eyesore of a big clunky rack or the eventual ickiness of a mat. It's also priced as low as we've ever seen it.
