The Most Popular Products In July, According To Forbes Vetted Readers

Our reigning best mattress overall earned top marks for its medium-firm feel that’s comfortable for most sleepers, solid edge support (ideal for those who move around a lot in their sleep) and cooling features, like copper infusions and pocket coils. One tester reports, “The quilting on the cushy top of this mattress is lifted yet tight, indicating its balance of cushion with underlying firmness and support.” 

Proper body alignment while sleeping makes a key difference in whether you feel soreness in the morning—which is where our best pillow for neck pain overall comes in. The Tempur-Neck Pillow’s contoured, ergonomic shape supports the head and neck for optimal alignment, and it features dense foam for pressure relief. 

As far as cervical options go, Osteo’s pillow remains a popular pick thanks to its signature butterfly shape that cradles your neck. This effectively corrects body misalignment and reduces tension for a sounder night’s sleep. For more on our favorite cervical pillow, read our broader review on the best pillows for neck pain.

As our favorite place to buy prescription glasses online, the wide selection of frames available at GlassesUSA (which includes top brands like Gucci, Ray-Ban and Oakley) thoroughly impressed our editors. The website also has a virtual try-on feature to alleviate potential buyer’s remorse—but just in case, your first pair of glasses falls under a 14-day return policy, no questions asked. 

Quince is a beloved brand among our fashion team for its selection of high-quality jewelry at a relatively affordable price. This bezel tennis bracelet, for instance, is carefully crafted with 14K gold and 2- or 4-carat lab-grown diamonds—all for under $2,000. For more details, check out our full roundup of the best lab-grown diamond tennis bracelets.

These Cozy Earth joggers, our top pajama pants for men, are built to withstand night sweats: Their viscose-bamboo fabric regulates body temperature and has been carefully woven to prevent pilling over time. “They’re exceptionally soft and breathable, offering a cooling effect that’s perfect for a restful sleep,” says tester and audience development director Spencer Dukoff.

A perennial Forbes Vetted favorite, these On Cloud 5 sneakers regularly top a number of our guides, including the best walking shoes for men and the best travel shoes for women. One standout feature is the shoes’ mesh uppers for all-day comfort: “I really enjoy their breathability; the mesh allows air flow that helps keep my feet cool after a long walk,” says one tester.

In his detailed guide of the best compression boots, Forbes Vetted gear editor Cam Vigliotta praises the Therabody JetBoots for their adjustable settings, simple setup and portability (they easily fold into a lightweight bag so you can bring them to the gym, physical therapy appointments and more). While similar boots on the market feature even more customizability, the JetBoots’ range of compression levels justifies their price. 

The Kuru Draft 2 Slippers are designed specifically to provide relief to those with chronic pain from plantar fasciitis: They feature thoughtfully incorporated cushioning around the arches to reduce strain and breathable materials to cool your feet. Check out Forbes Vetted’s list of the best slippers for plantar fasciitis for additional info on our best overall pick.

After a period of rigorous review in our tester’s humid Florida home, home and kitchen editor Kelly O’Sullivan deemed the Midea Duo the best portable air conditioner overall. The unit cooled a living room faster than other models, and at a relatively quiet noise level (around 52 decibels).

In her review of the best automatic litter boxes, executive strategy editor Lindsay Boyers chose the Whisker Litter-Robot 4 as her top pick after two years of testing with her three cats. One reason is its high-tech features (like its advanced laser-sensing system) that make it worth the steep price tag. It’s also odor-controlled, with a large waste drawer that doesn’t need frequent emptying. 

The dermatologist-recommended Canopy Showerhead can filter up to 3,000 gallons of water for irritants like chlorine, mercury and chromium. “It was also super easy to install and immediately made my shower feel more luxe,” notes our tester—features that earned it a spot on our list of the best filtered showerheads.

A ribbed exterior and leather detailing are just some of the hallmarks of the Carl Friedrik Carry-On, our top stylish luggage pick. In addition to its trendy design, it has expansive front pockets for extra storage space.

Hardside suitcases that are both design-savvy and sturdy are hard to come by, which is why our testers loved the Monos Carry-On Pro Plus, our top hardside luggage pick. “I was impressed with its durability, size and thoughtful design details; the easy-access front compartment was a big time-saver as I went through security,” says one tester.

Sturdy polycarbonate meets steel aluminum frame in this sleek carry-on from Nobl—a stylish piece with enough packing room for up to seven travel days. Use code FORBES to take $125 off your purchase of two suitcases.

Tech and electronics editor Rebecca Isaacs crowned the 14 Plus the best Dell laptop overall, citing its powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, spacious 32GB of RAM and diverse array of ports (for USB-C, HDMI, USB-A outputs, plus headphones). With a 2.5K-resolution display, this one’s a must-grab for multi-taskers.

In her guide to the best wireless earbuds, Isaacs highlights the Apple AirPods Pro 2’s sleek design, crisp audio quality and robust noise-cancelling abilities. One of its unique features is Hearing Loss Detection, which is supplemented by an FDA-approved Hearing Aid mode should any signs of deterioration be discovered.

Our tester found that the HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e offers the speediest printing times (about 35.6 seconds for a single-sided, six-page job) of all the machines they tested for our guide to the best all-in-one printers. Connect it to the HP Smart App to enable a whole host of features (like copying and scanning) from the comfort of your smartphone. 

LED face masks can vary widely in their comfort level while wearing, which is why the Omnilux Contour stands out in the market. In our list of the best LED Face Masks, our testers praise its lightweight, snug feel against the face, with one remarking that her skin became “slightly more even and glowy” after months of consistent use.

If you’re looking for an at-home laser hair removal option within your budget, the RoseSkinCo. Lumi is a great value, according to our beauty editors’ list of the best laser hair removal devices. Despite its under-$200 price tag, the device has an easy-to-use design, six intensity levels and the promise of results in as little as three weeks (with correct usage).

With its proprietary ergonomic design, the Waterpik Cordless Advanced 2.0 is a favorite in our editors’ roundup of the best water flossers due to its portability. Its compact size, contoured grip and waterproof build make it great for travel—or for maneuvering it in and out of the shower. 

Our pick for the best kids’ mattress overall hits all the marks of a top-notch sleep aid, from its hybrid construction forged from natural materials (like latex, wool and cotton) to its extra coils that give it durability and a medium-firm feel. “My 6-year-old son’s sleep has truly improved immensely since he started sleeping on it,” one of our testers adds.

After extensive review, our testers love how their little ones slept on the Naturepedic Organic Crib Mattress, our pick for the best crib mattress overall. Not only is it chemically safe (with a long list of certifications to back this up) and waterproof, but the mattress is also crafted for long-term use, featuring a firm side for infants and a softer side for toddlers.

Resistance to water and stains is just one of the perks our testers love about this mattress, our choice for the best value mattress for kids. Its 6-inch layer of memory foam ups its quality alone, as does its fiberglass-free construction. “I would consider buying this bed again if I had another child,” says one tester with a 3 1/2 year old.
