When temperatures soar, it doesn’t take long before you’re searching for anything that can help you stay cool. Whether you’re sleeping, relaxing by the pool, heading to the beach, or simply trying to survive another scorching afternoon, the right products can make all the difference.
I recently shared some of my favorite summer finds on FOX5 Good Day DC, and since the segment aired, I’ve had so many people ask where they can find everything. I rounded up six products that solve real summer problems, from overheated phones to sweaty workouts and hot nights that make it impossible to sleep.
Here are the products that earned a spot on my summer must-have list.
Rest Evercool Cooling Bedding
If you struggle to sleep because you’re constantly overheating, this may become your favorite purchase of the summer.
I’ve tried plenty of products that claim to keep you cool, but I was genuinely impressed by the Evercool bedding from Rest. The moment you touch it, you can actually feel the cooling effect. The fabric feels silky smooth without being slippery, and unlike traditional cotton sheets that tend to trap heat, Evercool is designed to pull heat away from your body.
During the FOX5 segment, everyone immediately noticed the difference. Even before lying down, they could feel how cool the pillow and blanket were.
If you’re someone who:
- Sleeps hot
- Wakes up sweating
- Shares a bed with a partner who likes a different temperature
- Is experiencing hot flashes
- Simply wants a more comfortable night’s sleep
this bedding is worth looking into.
One of my favorite things is that you don’t have to do anything special. No cooling inserts. No refrigeration. No gadgets. Just make your bed and enjoy a cooler night’s sleep.

Shark Chill Pill 3-in-1 Personal Cooling System
This may have been the biggest surprise of the entire segment.
At first glance, it looks like another portable fan. It’s so much more than that.
The Shark Chill Pill combines three cooling methods into one compact device:
- Cooling plate
- Powerful personal fan
- Refreshing misting attachment
The cooling plate is what really amazed everyone on set. When I placed it against the hosts’ skin, the reaction was immediate because it feels incredibly cold. Shark says it can reduce skin temperature by up to 16 degrees, making it perfect for outdoor concerts, sporting events, amusement parks, golf, pickleball, travel, or simply sitting outside on a hot afternoon.
The fan itself is surprisingly powerful, and the optional mist creates an extra layer of cooling when temperatures become unbearable.
Another feature I love is that it also stands upright, making it perfect for a desk, patio table, or even your nightstand.
If you’re someone who spends time outdoors during the summer, this is one gadget you’ll use over and over again.

PHOOZY Phone and Tablet Protection
Have you ever picked up your phone at the pool only to see the dreaded message:
“iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it.”
It happens all the time.
Whether you’re lounging by the pool, sitting on the beach, hiking, boating, or attending your child’s sporting event, electronics heat up incredibly fast.
That’s exactly why I love PHOOZY.
Inspired by the technology used to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, PHOOZY creates an insulating barrier that helps keep your phone or tablet from overheating.
During the segment, I showed both the phone sleeve and the larger tablet version. I especially love the tablet case because so many people now work remotely or enjoy reading outside during the summer.
An added bonus? Many of the cases include straps so you can carry them like a crossbody bag, making them perfect for travel.
If you’ve ever missed the perfect vacation photo because your phone overheated, this is a product worth checking out.

Joylux COOLHER Cooling Bra Inserts
Let’s be honest.
Every woman knows exactly what “boob sweat” is, even if we don’t always talk about it.
Whether you’re walking, playing pickleball, golfing, gardening, traveling, or simply spending time outside, staying comfortable can be a challenge during the hottest months of the year.
That’s why I thought the COOLHER inserts from Joylux were such a clever idea.
Unlike products that require freezing beforehand, these reusable inserts work immediately. Simply place them inside your bra, and they help absorb heat and moisture while keeping you more comfortable throughout the day.
After you’re finished, just wipe them clean and they’re ready to use again.
Sometimes it’s the simplest ideas that make the biggest difference.

HOST Freeze Drinkware
There’s nothing worse than pouring a cold drink only to have it warm up in just a few minutes.
I’ve been a fan of HOST products for years because they solve that problem beautifully.
Their insulated drinkware contains a proprietary cooling gel that you freeze before using. Once frozen, it keeps beverages colder much longer than traditional glasses.
Whether you’re enjoying:
- Wine on the patio
- A cold beer after mowing the lawn
- Bourbon around the fire pit
- Iced coffee on a summer morning
- Ice cream during movie night
HOST has products designed specifically for each use.
My husband joked during the segment, “When does your wine ever stay around for an hour?” Fair point! But when you’re entertaining outside, you’ll definitely appreciate having a drink that stays cold instead of turning lukewarm.

Shibumi Shade and Beach Chairs
This is one of my favorite entrepreneurial success stories.
A group of college students grew tired of carrying heavy beach tents back and forth every summer. Instead of accepting the problem, they designed a better solution.
That’s how Shibumi Shade was born.
Instead of fighting against the wind like traditional canopies, Shibumi actually uses the wind to stay open.
The lightweight design makes it incredibly easy to carry, set up, and take down. Even better, it folds into a compact carrying bag that doesn’t take up much room in your car.
One of my favorite updates is the new color collection. Originally, Shibumi only offered blue shades, which looked beautiful against the ocean—but everyone had the same one. It wasn’t always easy to spot your setup on a crowded beach.
Now there are vibrant new colors, including one that immediately caught my eye because, of course, it includes pink!
I also love the new Shibumi beach chairs. They’re lightweight, rust-resistant, comfortable, and include clip-on accessories for your phone, drink, and other essentials.
It’s one of those brands that continues to improve products people already love.
