The weather is heating up, and if you're worried about keeping cool in the coming days, you can look to Amazon for the best products to keep you, the kids and even your pets comfortable during sunny days.
There are several ways to keep cool during a heatwave, including drinking plenty of fluids, keeping blinds down, staying out of the sun, using a damp cloth or a splash of water on the back of your neck, and wearing lightweight clothing.
But there are some great products that can help you cool off and cope better with hot weather, too, from high-powered fans, cooling mats, refreshing sprays to kids paddling pools and summer duvets.
Ahead, we've rounded up some of our favourites to keep everyone cool this summer.
A great solution to help you survive the high summer temperatures, the Amazon Basics Oscillating Pedestal Fan can cool down any small room quickly and quietly day or night, thanks to its wide oscillation and 'whisper-quiet' 12 speed settings.
Summer duvets are categorised as lightweight duvets with togs between 2.5 and 7, but are most commonly 4.5 togs.
The Silentnight Cooler Summer 4.5 Tog Duvet will keep you cool even on the hottest of nights so that you can enjoy a good night's sleep while also having a cover to snuggle under. The thin yet comfortably soft duvet is made from a soft-touch moisture wicking fabric and can be easily washed and dried at home.

Relax in the shade and protect yourself from the sun in your garden this summer with this chic grey overhanging garden parasol.
The parasol creates shade without the need for a table to support it – although you will need to purchase a weighted base to stop it from falling over or blowing away when the wind is strong.
The canopy opens and closes by winding the easy-turn crank handle, and its height is adjustable.
When the temperatures rise and the summer heat hits, it's important to get enough to drink, whether you're playing sports, travelling or just basking in the sun.
Well suited to serving generous quantities of water, the bestselling BRITA Marella Fridge Water Filter Jug is stylish and practical, keeping your water both cold and filtered.
Don't forget to use sufficient sun protection in the summer sun. This high protection sunscreen from lesser-known-brand Alturist is one of the most popular broad-spectrum SPFs on Amazon.
Not only does this SPF keep your skin protected, healthy, and youthful all year long, all the profits made are used to produce and sell more products. They also donate 10p from each sale to charity to help people with albinism in Africa, where sun protection is even more crucial.
And at £8 for two 100ml tubes, there's no excuse not to incorporate sun protection into your beauty routine.

Worn around the neck, this quirky fan will keep you cool when it's hot and muggy outside. The hands-free solution features a 360-degree design and two fans at each end to keep sweat at bay.
If you cannot sleep in the evening or have a little one scuffling with the warmth, the Magicool Cooling Spray will keep you cool on a sizzling day, even during boiling heatwaves.
A great pick if you're liable to extreme sweating or have delicate pores and skin that irritates easily, the cooling aerosol spray instantly refreshes the face and body - no refrigeration required.
How about your own private swimming pool? Perfect for summers in the garden, this affordable pool can be inflated quickly and is super easy to set up.
