When it comes to retail sales, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is exactly that: a big deal. The retailer is dropping thousands of members-only markdowns across categories — from organizing and storage solutions to small-space furniture. This is a two-day-only event, which is why we Apartment Therapy editors have been carefully curating our carts to make the most of the sale. 

To help you do the same, I asked my colleagues to share the deals they’re snapping up and the Amazon favorites they’d buy all over again during the sale (I even threw in a few picks of my own for good measure!). Keep reading for everyone’s answers.

SpaceAid Bed Sheet Organizers
$30$1937% off

"I've been thinking about these sheet organizers ever since I saw them highlighted in the Organization Awards. My linen closet is a mess, so I'm definitely grabbing this four-pack while it's on sale." —Megan Gray, Shopping Writer

$19 at Amazon
Homecourt by Courteney Cox Room Deodorant
$45$3620% off

“I’m stocking up on Homecourt while everything is 20% off. I’m obsessed with Cece, Courteney Cox’s signature scent (she's the founder if you didn't know!). It smells rich and luxe but still feels fresh and inviting, and makes my apartment feel Monica-approved. Go for the room deodorant spray specifically; you won't regret it!” —Katie Maguire, Director of Shopping Content Strategy

$36 at Amazon
Casper Sleep Essential Cooling Pillow
$50$3236% off

"I've been looking to upgrade my pillows, especially since I've become more of a back sleeper. These Casper Sleep Essential Cooling Pillows are catching my eye since they are cooling and medium soft!" —Stephanie Nguyen, Lifestyle Director

$32 at Amazon
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (16GB)
$200$15025% off

"My Kindle Paperwhite is low-key the only good thing about insomnia. It's been helping me pass the sleepless nights without emitting blue light or waking up my husband for the past 11 years, and now I'm ready to get a new one. My old one doesn't hold a charge too well anymore, and it runs pretty slowly these days, but that's a pretty good life for a tech item! I'm excited to keep surpassing my reading goal from the hours of midnight through 3 a.m.!" —Terri Pous, Executive Editor

Levoit VortexIQ® Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
$200$15025% off

After seeing Levoit’s new VortexIQ Cordless Vacuum Cleaner in person at a trade show recently, it immediately went on my Prime Day wishlist. Levoit specializes in air purifiers, so I know the 5-stage HEPA filtration in this will capture way more than just the visible dust and debris on my floors. It can also lie completely flat, allowing it to sneak underneath furniture with ease. And everyone knows vacuums can get expensive, so this 25% discount is a pretty big deal.

EverGrace Striped Channel Velvet Quilt Set
$90$6824% off

“I’m extremely picky about bedding, so I wasn’t expecting an affordable Amazon quilt set to impress me this much. It’s incredibly soft, but what really sold me is how elevated it looks on the bed — the texture gives it that layered, pulled-together look I’m always after without feeling overly fussy. It’s lightweight enough to layer with my other bedding, and somehow makes the whole bed look more expensive. For the price, this is easily one of my favorite Amazon home finds in a long time.” —Charli Penn, Editor-In-Chief

$68 at Amazon
SONGMICS Vacuum Storage Bags (15-Pack) and Rechargeable Electric Pump
$30$2420% off

I swear I couldn't fit half as much stuff in my apartment without these vacuum seal bags (it’s why they were an Organization Awards winner!), so I'll absolutely be stocking up while they're on sale. They compress the biggest, bulkiest items to a quarter of their size and make them so much easier to store. I even use the small ones to store out-of-season clothes so I can fit more stuff in the storage drawers under my bed!

$24 at Amazon
Outspurge Handheld Steam Cleaner
$57$4521% off

“This steam cleaner was part of our Cleaning Awards a few years back, and I snatched one up during Prime Day. I've never looked back! Seriously, I have no idea how I ever got anything clean before. It's so satisfying to watch it work — like an ASMR video binge, except at the end, your house is sparkling clean. I especially love it for keeping my chrome bathroom fixtures shiny, and for hard-to-reach places like windows, AC units, ovens, etc.” —Emma Dangel, Style Editor

$45 at Amazon
Kakanuo Rechargeable Waterproof Shower Lamp
$28$1932% off

“I'll admit it: I have fallen deep into the "dark shower" algorithmic corner of Instagram where people are oohing and aahing over mini waterproof lamps. And after a year of owning this one, I'm going to be buying it again as a gift for my mom, because it's truly life-changing. I love that it comes with four different presets, but I mostly use the warm glow hue (there's also a chromatic color-changing rainbow setting, which is fun too!) because it makes a hot shower feel so much cozier. It charges very quickly using a USB-C cable (same as my phone!), and I've never had a problem with droplets or steam impacting its performance. The fact that it's under $20 feels like I'm stealing! I'm never going to shower without a mini lamp ever again.” —Zee Krstic, Senior Home Editor

$19 at Amazon
Nori Press
$120$8926% off

“I don't have the storage for a full iron and ironing board, so the Nori Press is an amazing alternative for my small apartment. The compact, dual-sided travel steam iron is the perfect solution for wrinkled clothes, and it's been a total game-changer for all of my sewing projects. It's easy to use and heats up in just 30 seconds, which is hard to beat!” —Quinn Fish, Senior Lifestyle Editor

$89 at Amazon
STEM Flying Insect Trap
$30$2517% off

"In my pre-war apartment, bugs are a common, weekly occurrence that I thought I would just have to live with. But after reading The Kitchn's review of the STEM Flying Insect Light Trap, I'm convinced this is the only way I can have a bug-free home, and I'm definitely buying the value pack." —LJ Smelker, Associate Home Projects Editor

$25 at Amazon
Dreame G10 Pro Wet Dry Vacuum Mop
$250$16036% off

“I got a hybrid vacuum/mop from Dreame last year, and I'm obsessed. They can be pricey, but this one's got a great deal going for Prime Day. It's a huge space saver; combining my vacuum and my mop into one means I could finally toss that bulky mop bucket. This one is just for hardwood, but they have other models that work on carpets as well. And nothing has ever gotten my floors so sparkling!” —Emma Dangel, Style Editor
