Cooling products quick picks Cooling towel: Mission Original Cooling Towel Cooling beauty product: La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water Face Mist Cooling neck fan: Gulaki Bladeless Portable Neck Fan Cooling bedding: Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set Window AC unit: LG 8,000-BTU LW8016ER Window Air Conditioner When the temperature starts to climb, the best cooling products help keep you comfortable both indoors and outdoors. From neck fans to cooling blankets, a variety of gadgets and home products can make all the difference in being a sweaty mess or staying cool. We've crafted a list of our best-tested cooling fans, cooling apparel, cooling pillows and beyond for a much more tolerable summer. There are even some cooling beauty products that can help calm your skin after scorching-hot days. A post shared by CNN Underscored (@cnnunderscored) Mission Original Cooling Towel Out of the 10 cooling towels we tested, this one delivered the most immediate relief. Beyond providing an unmatched cooling sensation, it also won points for its portability. Read our review Mission Max Plus Cooling Towel The Mission Max Plus is from the same company as our top pick, so it's no surprise that it shares many of the same features. Although we found the material a little too thick, it beat the Mission Original when it came to overall cooling our review Chill Pal Mesh Cooling Towel The Chill Pal kept cool for around 45 minutes, the longest of all the towels we tried. Even so, it wasn't great at providing instant relief, so ultimately did not nab our top our review Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set These sheets have made several CNN Underscored editors fall head over heels. Made with viscose from bamboo, these sheets are cool to the touch and even moisture-wicking. Coop Sleep Goods The EdenCool+ Adjustable Pillow After searching for the right pillow for years, senior lifestyle editor Tamara Kraus finally found the perfect match: The EdenCool+ Adjustable Pillow. Whereas most pillows were too lumpy or hot, Kraus said this one "feels like an AC" for her head. Read our review Nest Cooling Mattress Topper This cooling topper is not a mattress itself, but we wanted to highlight a product that one editor thinks can actually make any mattress feel like a cooling mattress. (Plus, mattresses are expensive, you know?) Made with cool-to-the-touch foam that you sink right into, this mattress topper has completely changed the way she sleeps. Weekender Gel Memory Foam Pillow Cooling pillows for hot sleepers come in a variety of materials like shredded foam, gels and cotton. Look for one that holds in coolness and wicks away moisture. This well-priced, high-rated foam pillow is infused with a temperature-regulating gel for a cool night's sleep. Casper Foam Pillow With cooling foam and a three-layer design meant to make it extra huggable (who doesn't want that?), this is one of our favorite pillows to sleep on night after night. Leisure Town Cooling Mattress Pad With more than 35,000 reviews, this highly rated cotton mattress topper is filled with a down alternative to deliver comfort that reviewers love without heat and sweat. Columbia PFG Freezer III Dress Walking outside in the summer can feel like going into a home sauna, but with this ingenious dress, you can feel more at ease. Our associate editor Rachel Dennis tested out this cooling dress, which lives up to its name. If you buy one dress this summer, it should be this our review Free Fly Women's Bamboo Shade Hoodie II UPF clothing can keep you from getting burned and from overheating. You can wear it hiking, fishing, walking — just about anywhere. This hoodie from Free Fly is no exception. Made of bamboo viscose fabric, it'll help keep you cool and comfortable. It also comes in men's sizing. Cherrydew Short-Sleeve Button-Down Pajama Shorts Set If you're a hot sleeper, a pair of cooling pajamas is essential (and not just in the summer). These ones are made with breathable bamboo viscose and are a steal compared to fancier brands. Thigh Society The Cooling Shorts Chafing and overheating are two of summer's biggest issues when it comes to clothing, and this pair of lightweight shorts addresses both of these conundrums. The performance fabric pulls heat and moisture away from the body, and the shorts come in a bunch of colors to coordinate with your outfits. Sun Bum Cool Down Aloe Vera Lotion You spent the day in the sun but, unfortunately, ended up with a burn. That's where after-sun lotions come into play. They feel cooling and calming on the skin, and this dermatologist-recommended option is loaded with hydrating and soothing ingredients. Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea In our roundup of the best cooling beauty products, Dr. Corey L. Hartman of Skin Wellness Dermatology said this spray delivers 'a quick burst of cooling to your face.' He added that you can apply it 'during the day to help cool or spritz the face right before you apply moisturizer in the morning or evening.' La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water Face Mist This cooling face mist contains selenium, a potent antioxidant that is free of fragrance and preservatives, making it great for sensitive skin. Updates writer Ellen McAlpine keeps it on hand to cool and calm down her skin post-workout. Sofie Pavitt Face Nice Ice Toner Pods Packed with soothing ingredients like glycerin, niacinamide, green tea extract and ashwagandha, this is essentially a popsicle for your face. Fashion and beauty editor Sophie Shaw recommends rubbing it across your face until it has melted. Coola Refreshing Water Mist Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 18 This cooling mist doesn't just cool your face with organic aloe, coconut water and hyaluronic acid; it also protects it from the sun with SPF 18. Ole Henriksen Balance Cold Plunge Pore Mask With eucalyptus, green tea, algae and Irish moss extracts, this mask can help soothe inflamed or acne-prone skin. Salicylic and lactic acid also work to loosen dead skin and help to unclog pores. SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Mask If you've got dry skin, this one's for you. Hyaluronic acid adds hydration to the skin while the cucumber, thyme and olive oil extracts in this mask soothe skin to help it feel cooler. Esarora Ice Roller If you're not into ice itself, an ice roller is a solid second option. This gel and water roller is a CNN Underscored favorite and also has a number of celebrity our review Milk Makeup Cooling Water This hydrating gel stick, made with caffeine and seawater, can be kept in the fridge for an extra-cooling sensation. Gulaki Bladeless Portable Neck Fan After we tested five neck fans in the Southern California sun, this one came out on top. In addition to having the most powerful fan, it also boasts an impressive five hours of battery life on its highest our review Amacool Neck Fan Of course you want to keep your neck cool, but this best-tested adjustable fan can cool your face and other areas too. It has three speed settings and can be folded up and tossed in your our review Comlife Bladeless Neck Fan Our editorial director wears this neck fan to keep cool while riding the New York City subway. Thanks to its 5W of power, it should make the muggiest months of the year bearable. Brooklinen Washed European Linen Core Sheet Set These Brooklinen sheets are soft and light, wicking away heat effectively for people who sleep warm but still regulating heat nicely in cooler climates. Simultaneously high-end and already perfectly worn in, these were delightful from the first our review Parachute Linen Sheet Set Among the most luxe feeling we tested, the Parachute linen sheets have a pleasant weight in hand and a unique texture. The Parachute sheets come in a broad range of colors and sizes, and each different piece of the bedding set is available individually for replacements or to mix and match with other our review Simple & Opulence 100% Pure Linen Sheet Set The Simple & Opulence sheets held their own in comfort and design, with a soft feel out of the box and lovely satin-stitched piping along the edge of the top sheet. The Simple & Opulence set has the weight and hand of much more expensive sheets, but they come at nearly half the our review The Citizenry Stonewashed Linen Sheet Set These light and gauzy but durable Citizenry linen sheets are a master class in stylish rest. Woven in a mill in Portugal from French flax, these have deep pockets and an amply sized top sheet to fit on any depth of our review Cultiver Linen Sheet Set Offering the best of all worlds, the Cultiver Linen Sheet Set feels elegant straight out of the box. The sheets fit on the bed impeccably and they only got softer with repeated washings. Available in more colors than any other linen sheets we tested, these sheets will satisfy nearly any taste or our review Bearaby Tree Napper Especially cooling, Bearaby's Tree Napper is made from moisture-wicking Tencel that uses eucalyptus fiber, a material that's naturally even cooler than linen and super soft to the our review Brooklinen Linen Quilt Mix and match this irresistibly soft linen quilt with your favorite cooling sheets for a chic, laid-back layered look. Gravity Cooling Weighted Blanket If you're looking for a heavily weighted cooling comforter option, the Gravity Cooling Weighted Blanket comes with a beautifully soft hotel-quality cover too. Bedsure Cooling Blanket If you're looking for a cooling blanket to carry around the house with you all the time, this is the one for you. Cool to the touch on one side with a snugglier cotton on the other, it's thin enough that it can roll up really, really small, so it's great for smaller apartments and storage. Tranquility Cooling Weighted Blanket We've tried this weighted blanket for several months now, and we absolutely adore it. Cool on one side and plush on the other, it's available in 12-, 15- and 20-pound versions. Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo Fan A combo mister and fan, this small device has a battery life of up to 12 hours and can be used both indoors and outdoors. It's great for staying cool while lounging on your patio or getting a workout in at your home gym. Jisulife Handheld Fan To stay cool while you're on the go, reach for this handheld fan, which we named the best portable fan, that will help keep you comfortable. It has three power settings and easily fits in a bag, since it's just 8 inches tall. Read our review Dyson Purifier Humidity+Cool Formaldehyde PH04 Fan, Humidifier and Air Purifier With a striking design and impressive features, the Dyson is unlike any other fan we tested — and is far more expensive — but it combines a fan, heater and air purifier, potentially replacing three our review Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan The Honeywell tower fan has a small footprint and sleek design, a sturdy base and eight speed settings.

Read our review The best products to keep you cool depend on the activity or situation at hand. Heading out on a hike? A cooling dress and a neck fan will keep you comfortable while you're spending time outdoors. If you're just trying to stay cool at home, then swapping out your seasonal bedding can make a huge difference in how you sleep throughout the night. It all depends on what you're looking to buy, but for each category we've covered in this article, there are key things to consider. If you're shopping for anything that's made of fabric, like cooling towels, sheets or clothing, it's smart to look for breathable materials like linen, cotton and other natural fiber blends. You can also keep an eye out for sweat- and moisture-wicking materials, especially for clothes and pajamas. For fans, air conditioners and other cooling devices, most of these products will list the size of the space they're effective at cooling. So, whether you're looking to cool down an entire apartment or a smaller room, you can find something that's a proper fit for your needs. The following FAQs were answered by the CEO of Mission, Jocelyn Thornton, and include reporting done by our editorial team. Do cooling fabrics actually work? Do cooling fabrics actually work? Cooling fabrics can make a difference in keeping you comfortable during warmer months. 'Opt for lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking fabrics with built-in UPF protection,' Thornton said. 'These materials help sweat evaporate faster, improve airflow and shield your skin from harmful UV rays—keeping you cool and comfortable in the heat.' How can you cool a room without AC? How can you cool a room without AC? If you're looking to cool down a room without an air-conditioning unit, you can opt for a standalone fan. Fans circulate air in your space and create a steady breeze that can help keep you comfortable while bringing down indoor temperatures. How do cooling blankets work? How do cooling blankets work? Most cooling blankets are crafted with fabrics that allow air to flow through, giving you the comfort of a blanket without overheating. These fabrics are moisture-wicking to remove perspiration away from the body, which helps keep you cool. For this article, we consulted the following experts to gain their professional insights on cooling products. Dr. Corey L. Hartman, board-certified dermatologist, and found and director of Skin Wellness Dermatology Jocelyn Thornton, CEO and founder of Mission CNN Underscored has a team of writers and editors who have many years of experience testing, researching and recommending products, and they ensure each article is carefully edited and products are properly vetted.

The best neck fans in 2025, tried and tested
The best neck fans we tested Best neck fan: Gulaki Portable Neck Fan Best adjustable neck fan: Amacool Neck Fan Wearing one of the best neck fans is a hands-free way to enjoy a cooling breeze. They can hang around your neck like headphones or be strung on a lanyard like a pendant. Regardless of how you wear one, it can be a godsend in the summer months. There are many times I've wished I had this kind of cooling fan on me, whether I was spending three days in the Texas sun for a music festival or gardening outdoors in the summer. Even going on a walk during a normal 90-degree Fahrenheit day in Los Angeles would be better with a neck fan. If you're determined to enjoy time outdoors this summer, despite temperatures that make stepping outside the last thing you want to do, a portable fan is a great solution. Plus, the convenience of a neck fan means you won't need to keep something in your hands to enjoy the breeze. You just put it around your neck and head out the door. With temperatures rising in Los Angeles, I took five popular neck fans along for a few outdoor adventures to see which kept me the coolest and most comfortable. I also assessed their design, portability and overall ease of use. After many hours in the sun, I found two of the best neck fans I'd recommend to anyone. Gulaki Portable Neck Fan The Gulaki neck fan provides cooling relief wherever you are. Its impressive battery power, multiple speed settings and easy-to-use design make it our winning pick for best neck fan. Amacool Neck Fan The Amacool Neck Fan's three speed settings are great, but the adjustable sides make it even better. The Amacool can bend to create different fan angles, so it's versatile as it creates a cooling breeze. The Gulaki neck fan sits comfortably around your neck and produces a refreshing breeze, even in 90-degree heat. With impressive battery life and cooling power, it was an easy pick as the best neck fan. The Gulaki fan creates a cooling area spanning from the back of your neck to your jawline. You can't see the fan motors, but vents line the top of the U-shaped fan to emit air. There are three speed settings to choose from, which is standard for neck fans, but this one differentiates itself by emitting less fan noise than others in my testing pool. This is especially true on the third and highest setting. The noise is there, but it's not overbearing. This fan also has long-lasting battery life that can handle even outdoor excursions or commutes. I ran it on its highest speed setting and clocked five hours and 27 minutes of continuous runtime before it died. It's also comfortable to wear, no matter if you're exercising, commuting to work or going for a casual stroll. I often took it with me while walking around my neighborhood and felt constant, comfortable relief even in 90-degree weather. I particularly liked using the highest setting to cool the back of my neck. I even brought the fan along to the gym and it stayed in place on the treadmill as I worked out. Design-wise, the fan looks strikingly similar to a pair of Beats headphones, so much so that I did a double-take when I first glanced at it. Because of that, though, it achieves a nice sleek look overall. It's also available in seven color options. This fan is the one I kept returning to out of all the fans in my testing pool. Not only did it keep me cool when temperatures started to rise here in Los Angeles, but it also is extremely easy to use, has a long-lasting battery and excels at its number one job: keeping me cool. The best thing about the Amacool Neck Fan is how adjustable it is. Although every neck fan does well to cool your neck area, this fan lets you customize exactly what areas to hit with cool air. The result was a refreshing breeze I could angle on my neck, face or anywhere else. This fan offers three speed settings, with the first two on the lighter side and not as effective in high temperatures, while the third setting creates a strong gust you can feel even in 90-degree heat. The lower settings aren't entirely unusable, however, as they proved useful for less strenuous activity like commuting to work. The Amacool is also extremely lightweight as it weighs just 6.5 ounces. This makes it great for long-term wear. And since the the sides are bendable, it's easy to fold it up. When I wasn't using it, I folded it sort of like a pretzel and stashed it in whatever bag I had with me. Unlike the Gulaki, the fan blades in this are more exposed, which I'll admit gave me pause at first. My hair is short, but I could see how folks with longer hair could be a little anxious about trying this fan. I had my sister test it out since she has longer hair, and I'm happy to report that no locks of her hair were harmed while she wore the fan. Despite what the Amacool does well, there is one major downside: No matter how you adjust the fan, it's hard to get a consistent breeze on the back of your neck. There are also no vents on the body of the fan to run any cool air where it sits on your neck. Because of that, I noticed that I felt more sweaty than usual in that area while wearing it. Another thing to note is how similar this fan is to the Comlife Portable Neck Fan. When I ordered both for this guide, they both showed up in identical boxes. I thought that maybe I mistakenly ordered two of the same fan. Even their specs are the similar, with the only difference being the design of their respective logos. However, where they truly differ is with battery life, as the Amacool's battery lasted longer in my testing. It ran for two hours and 15 minutes on its highest setting while the Comlife fan ran for two hours and five minutes. To test these neck fans, I spent lots of time outside in the heat of sunny Los Angeles. After all, testing a fan in an office building with AC would have been redundant, not to mention wasteful. I even took a few to a jury duty stint, which turned out to be a lifesaver while waiting in a crowded, stuffy courtroom. Here's how I specifically tested each neck fan. Performance Cooling ability: Neck fans would be nothing if they did not keep you cool. To determine which had the best cooling ability, I tested their various cooling settings (low, medium, high, etc.) and noted which had the most strength. Battery life: To judge battery life, I placed each fully charged fan on its highest setting and timed how long its power lasted. Noise: I considered the noise each neck fan made across its various cooling settings and whether it was loud enough to bother not just me while I wore it, but those around me, too. Extra features: I noted all additional settings, misting capabilities or features that distinguished a certain neck fan from the rest of the testing pool. Sweat test: I walked to and from a local park during a heat wave to see if these neck fans were effective when working up a sweat. I took note of how cooling it felt when sweating, as well as if the neck fan remained comfortable and functioned properly while exercising. Design Comfort: A neck fan isn't something you place on your desk or hold up to your face; it's an accessory you wear. So, it's important that these fans are comfortable. I evaluated how each neck fan felt to wear for long periods of time and during light physical activity. Portability: I assessed the size and structure of the neck fans when they were not in use and how easy they were to store. Product design: I took note of the shape of each fan, including where the power button was located and other notable design features. In this category, I was looking to differentiate whether the design enhanced the overall experience or not. Value Ease of use: Neck fans are simple enough to use; you charge them, change the settings and enjoy. So, while the overall consensus is that these tools are easy, I made note of any features or steps that made the fan more cumbersome than others. Overall value: While every neck fan I tested for this guide costs less than $40, I consolidated my testing findings to determine what the overall value of each neck fan is. I took into consideration capabilities, design, comfort and price. Consider the use case Neck fans are an inexpensive accessory you can use wherever and whenever you need to keep cool. But before you buy one, you'll want to understand the fan's capabilities. They won't give you powerful gusts of wind, but will instead provide cool air on and around your neck. Certain styles are more malleable, while others are stiffer. Either way, the main concern is the cooling capability and if the fan sits comfortably on your neck. From there, consider how you'll use the neck fan. Will you spend hours in the garden? Are you going to an outdoor concert, or doing any other sort of outdoor activity? Think about the kind of fan you want hanging around your neck while you do those things. Think about your hair My hair is currently at about shoulder length, so I wasn't too concerned with it catching in any of the neck fans. However, it managed to slip into a few of the back-facing vents throughout testing. If you have longer hair, choosing a neck fan where the blades are enclosed will help prevent any accidental snagging. If you're rocking a shorter style like me, you won't have to worry about this. Remain vigilant to extreme heat While you might feel invincible to higher temperatures with a neck fan, it's still important to prepare and protect yourself against extreme heat. Dr. Lucia Abascal at the University of California, San Francisco, said, 'heat-related illness is actually one of the deadliest weather-related things that happen. Fans might not be enough.' Dr. Abascal is a postdoctoral scholar and works with the California Department of Public Health as a public health physician. She shared the importance of making a safety plan for extreme heat. If you intend to spend lots of time in the sun, check the weather ahead of time, make a plan to stay hydrated and ensure you aren't outdoors if the heat reaches a dangerous level. It's also important to apply sunscreen often. While Dr. Abascal stressed you'll need more than a neck fan to combat dangerous temperatures and symptoms of heat-related illnesses, she acknowledged the benefits of tools to keep you comfortable outdoors, especially in the heat. 'If that helps you and it's safe to still be outside, you can take a fan, water mist or whatever helps you stay comfortable,' she said. 'It might help you hike longer, be outside longer and be with friends. All of those have good public health benefits as well.' Jisulife Portable Neck Fan The Jisulife Portable Neck Fan is an impressive tool. It has three powerful fan settings and a long-lasting battery. However, it was louder and more difficult to use than our winning pick. The Jisulife Portable Neck Fan is a close runner-up to our winning pick for the best neck fan. Its battery lasts over five hours on the highest setting and speed options produce powerful gusts that worked well across testing. While there is much to rave about with this neck fan, certain design elements made it more difficult to use than our winning pick. When I first put the Jisulife around my neck, I couldn't find the power button. I felt like it was hiding from me. Changing the settings of the fan while in motion also proved difficult because the button is smaller and placed at a slightly awkward position when you're wearing the fan. Additionally, the Jusulife is extremely loud. This is not necessarily a problem, since the speed options are extremely effective when it comes to cooling, but it did impact my comfort level since the buzzing in my ear was not enjoyable. It also deterred me from wearing the fan around people, since I couldn't hear them well when it was on. Overall, the Jisulife Portable Neck Fan is powerful and keeps you cool. However, the Gulaki has it beat when it comes to design, comfort and overall ease of use. Comlife Portable Neck Fan The Comlife Portable Neck Fan is practically identical to the Amacool. However, its battery didn't last as long. Comlife Portable Neck Fan is the identical twin of the Amacool fan above, my pick for the best adjustable neck fan. Both came in the same box, the specs are the same and they look similar. When testing, it came down to which fan performed better ,and the Amacool came out on top. Additionally, the Amacool is slightly less expensive than the Comlife, another factor that made this fan fall in the ranking. AoCool Portable Neck Fan The Aocool Portable Neck Fan hangs around your neck like a necklace. The digital screen on the bottom lets you change settings and see the battery life. However, the cooling ability of this fan is not as strong. I wanted to like the AoCool portable Neck Fan, but it's just not as practical and effective as others in my testing pool. It includes an adjustable lanyard that you attach to the back of the fan so you can wear it like a necklace. I loved the design of the AoCool because the power level and fan speed settings are displayed on a tiny screen in the front. I knew how much battery percentage the fan had at all times while wearing it, which made my life easy. Speaking of battery life, the AoCool neck fan lasted an impressive four hours and 26 minutes on its highest setting. Despite the solid battery life, the strength of its three speed options isn't as powerful as most others I tested. So, while the fan lasted a while, the cooling impact wasn't great. Its design is also a big reason why its performanced suffered. While the adjustable lanyard is a plus, I wasn't able to feel the breeze of the fan if I let it hang on my chest. Instead, I had to wear it very tight around my neck, which was far less comfortable. The following FAQs were answered by Dr. Abascal and Gareen Puglia. Who should wear a neck fan? Who should wear a neck fan? Anyone can benefit from wearing a neck fan as a hands-free way to keep comfortable with a cooling breeze. They're great for commuting to work in warm weather, going for a walk during the summer or even at something like a music festival. A neck fan may also be beneficial to folks experiencing hot flashes. Can neck fans protect you from heat-related illnesses? Can neck fans protect you from heat-related illnesses? While neck fans can keep you comfortable in heat, they will not be effective enough to protect you from heat-related illnesses. The following symptoms are indicators of heat-related illnesses and should not be ignored. Muscle cramps Exhaustion Heavy breathing Disorientation Nausea/vomiting If you experience any of these symptoms outdoors, a neck fan will not be able to treat them. Find somewhere cool to go inside and rest. Are neck fans rechargeable? Are neck fans rechargeable? Yes, most neck fans are rechargeable. All the neck fans in this testing pool include a USB-C charging cable. However, specific charge time does vary. Some neck fans also use batteries, though none were tested for this guide.
