A fan is a sleep essential when summer has turned your bedroom into a sauna but with the Shark FlexBreeze Tablemate Fan, now $129.99 at Amazon, I find falling asleep a breeze — even during the recent heat wave. A tabletop fan with five different speeds, adjustable tilt and side-to-side oscillating, it delivers all-over cooling to help me fall asleep faster in the heat.

If your nightstand could use a cooling upgrade, one great budget deal is the JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan, now $13.76 (was $15.29) at Amazon, which can be folded to sit next to your bed and deliver a gentle breeze throughout the night. But if it's an Arctic blast you're after, I've rounded up tower and turbo fans as well, alongside deals for every budget and bedroom space.

Whichever fan you choose, you're in for a cooler night that makes sleeping during summer heatwaves a breeze. But before you go, make sure to read our top advice on how to sleep with a fan, so you can chill out properly.
