A heatwave friendly cooling pillow perfect for people tossing and turning trying to sleep during the warm evenings has been winning fans among Amazon customers. The Iwacool Ultra Thin Cooling Pillow is described on the marketplace as a 'thin sleeping pillow which is filled with memory foam' and has been reduced by 23% for Amazon Prime Day.

Eye-catching heatwave-friendly deals include the lowest price yet for Shark's FlexBreeze fan, as well as a Cuisinart £30 ice cream makers and bargain paddling pools.
But for people struggling to sleep in the heat and for whom Oodie cooling sleepwear isn't enough, switching out pillows is another clever way to stay comfortable. The Iwacool Pillow is packed with filling that has small ventilation holes that help regulate body temperature while sleeping and is now on sale for £30, down from £39.
Amazon shoppers were quick to praise the pillow which has been reviewed over 500 times and boasts an average 4.3-star rating out of a possible five stars.
One happy shopper who was pleased with their purchase said: 'This pillow is absolutely amazing. I did buy one before from a different company at three times the price of this one, I wish I'd seen this one first. It is just perfect as it keeps me cool all night. Highly recommend this product.' Another described the pillow as 'incredibly comfortable.'
Another shopper wrote: 'I'm picky about pillows. I have bought so many in the past, some costing a fortune but they weren't quite right. This however is absolutely fantastic, the best pillow ever. I will be taking this everywhere, even holidays, I couldn't do without it now. It's just perfect for what I need.'
One thing to note about the Iwacool Pillow is that it might not be the right pick for people who prefer a plump pillow, with one shopper sharing that the product 'was thinner than I thought.'
Another customer enjoyed the pillow's design however, writing: 'This pillow is exactly what I hoped for: slim, cool, comfortable - absolutely perfect. I'm delighted with it.'
For shoppers who prefer more traditional pillows rather than high-tech memory foam, Silentnight Super Cool Soft Pillow Two Pack from Argos for £16 is another god option. One customer who reviewed them said: 'Very pleased with the pillows, very good quality.' Also available is the Slumberdown Four Pack Cool Summer Nights Pillows that are discounted at Debenhams from £40 to £23, which contain a cool hollowfibre filling to keep you comfy.

Roku beats second-quarter revenue estimates as platform growth accelerates
July 31 (Reuters) - Roku (ROKU.O), opens new tab topped Wall Street estimates for second-quarter revenue on Thursday, helped by its expanding user base and advertising sales. Analysts expect connected TV to be one of the fastest-growing ad media outlets over the next three to five years as ad budgets shift from linear TV to streaming, with Roku being a key beneficiary given its leading scale and engagement. In June, Roku announced an advertising partnership with (AMZN.O), opens new tab, giving advertisers access to the largest authenticated connected TV footprint in the U.S., with a combined reach of 80 million U.S. households through the Amazon platform. "Roku's strategic focus on enhancing user experience is paying off, with the Roku Channel becoming the second most engaged app on the platform, and Roku TV operating system capturing nearly 40% of U.S. TV unit sales," said Kenneth Leon, director of equity research at CFRA. The company reported revenue of $1.11 billion for the quarter, compared to the analysts' average estimate of $1.07 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Roku's platform segment — which includes advertising and subscription revenue — grew 18% to $975 million in the quarter, driven by video advertising and its acquisition of Frndly. It also announced a $400 million stock repurchase program. Roku expects third-quarter revenue of $1.2 billion, slightly above estimates of $1.17 billion.

Amazon cloud computing results fail to impress, shares dive
July 31 (Reuters) - (AMZN.O), opens new tab on Thursday forecast third-quarter sales above market estimates, but failed to live up to lofty expectations for its Amazon Web Services cloud computing unit after rivals handily beat Wall Street forecasts. Shares plunged by more than 7% after-hours. Before releasing the results, Amazon had finished regular trading up 1.7% to $234.11. Both Google-parent Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab and Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab posted big cloud computing revenue gains this month. AWS profit margins also contracted. Amazon said they were 32.9% in the second quarter, down from 39.5% in this year's first quarter and 35.5% a year ago. The second-quarter margin results were at their lowest level since the final quarter of 2023. "AWS is their growth engine and to see that drop in margin is dropping the stock," said Ken Mahoney, CEO of Mahoney Asset Management. "The market was looking for further fireworks to take this up back to new highs and beyond." AWS reported a 17.5% increase in revenue to $30.9 billion, edging past expectations of $30.77 billion. By comparison, sales for Microsoft's Azure rose 39% and Google Cloud gained 32%. Amazon expects total net sales to be between $174.0 billion and $179.5 billion in the third quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate of $173.08 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. The range for operating income in the current quarter was also light. Amazon forecast between $15.5 billion and $20.5 billion, compared with expectations of $19.45 billion. Both Microsoft and Alphabet cited massive demand for their cloud computing services to boost their already huge capital spending, but also noted they still faced capacity constraints that limited their ability to meet demand. AWS represents a small part of Amazon's total revenue, but it is a key driver of profits, typically accounting for about 60% of Amazon's overall operating income. While Amazon has poured billions of dollars into AI infrastructure, analysts have said the lack of a strong AI model from AWS is causing concerns that the company could be trailing rivals in AI development. The AWS results are "alarming," said Dave Wagner, portfolio manager for Aptus Capital Advisers, which holds Amazon shares. "Amazon is an operating leverage story and they had to be able to grow, at least relative to costs. And they haven't done it. The largest tech companies have been boosting capital expenditures to add more data center capacity, particularly for artificial intelligence software deployment and development. Amazon said it expected roughly second-half spending roughly the same as its second quarter total of $31.4 billion, suggesting it would spend around $118 billion for the full year. Analysts had projected about $100 billion. On Wednesday, Microsoft said it would spend a record $30 billion in the current quarter. Google-parent Alphabet raised its spending forecast by $10 billion to $85 billion for the year. Seattle-based Amazon posted online store sales of $61.5 billion, an 11% gain. Advertising sales, a fast-growing segment for Amazon, were up 23% to $15.7 billion. Investors have been watching Amazon's e-commerce unit for any signs that tariff-related uncertainty has dashed consumer confidence. U.S. data showed consumer spending rose moderately in June. CEO Andy Jassy, in a call with analysts, addressed concerns about the impacts of tariffs on Amazon's core retail business. "Through the first half of the year, we haven't yet seen diminishing demand nor prices meaningfully appreciating," he said on a call with analysts. "We also have such diversity of sellers in our marketplace, over 2 million sellers in total, with differing strategies of whether to pass on higher costs to consumers." He added: "We just don't know what's going to happen moving forward. It's hard to know where the tariffs are going to settle, particularly in China." President Donald Trump's tariffs have major retailers and consumer goods companies scrambling to protect margins while trying not to hurt consumer demand. Trump has said the levies will bring manufacturing power and jobs back to the U.S. Analysts had said Amazon's focus on low prices, quick delivery and its many product categories helped cement its position as the No. 1 e-commerce retailer for U.S. consumers, giving it an edge over rivals. Amazon has said it was pushing suppliers to pull forward inventories to ensure supply and keep prices as low as possible. Still, prices for goods made in China and sold on have been rising faster than overall inflation, Reuters reported last month. Amazon has been trimming jobs, including at its AWS, books, devices and podcasting units. Headcount fell by 14,000 workers from this year's first quarter, bringing the total to 1.46 million, the first decline since the beginning of 2024.
