After covering Amazon Prime Day for over five years, I’ve learned a thing or two about how to shop it smartly.
I’ve also learned that Amazon sells way more than you might expect – from your favourite Redken shampoo to dishwasher tablets, method cleaning sprays to everyone’s favourite Italian spritz, and of course, the humble toilet roll.
Now that I’ve bought my first flat, I’m more conscious of what I’m spending. But with over a decade of shopping and writing under my belt, I’ve got a pretty good sense of what’s actually worth adding to your basket – and what’s just going to gather dust.
Shop these Amazon Prime Day deals while you can
- We’re spotlighting the best Prime Day deals from beauty to home tech – here are the best
- Amazon shoppers can snag 5-star rated Simba mattress at 27% off in huge Prime deal
- My favourite luxury hair tool is currently over £100 off in the Amazon Prime Day sale
- Best Ninja Amazon Prime Day 2025 on airfryers, blenders, ice cream makers and more
This list isn’t full of flashy gadgets or impulse buys. It’s the practical stuff: micellar water, snacks, cleaning products, essentials you’ll use every day. Not the most glamorous, sure, but stocking up during Prime Day can save you a surprising amount – and cut down those last-minute supermarket dashes.
So, if you’re looking to make the most of the sales without wasting money, here are the things I genuinely think are worth buying.
My top Amazon Prime Day picks:
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Machine by De'Longhi
The Nespresso Vertuo Next by De'Longhi is a great Prime Day buy if you want barista-style coffee at home without the fuss. It’s compact, easy to use, and brews a range of coffee sizes – perfect for busy mornings or weekend treats. With a solid discount, it’s a smart investment that’ll save you money on takeaway coffees in the long run.
SodaStream Terra Sparkling Water Maker
The SodaStream Terra is one of those clever kitchen upgrades that actually pays off – especially during the Prime Day sale. It’s compact, easy to use, and cuts down on plastic bottles while letting you make sparkling water (and mixers) exactly how you like it.
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Cherry 8 x 330 ml
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Cherry (8 x 330ml) is a fizzy, cherry-flavoured soft drink with zero sugar and calories, offering a refreshing twist on the classic taste. It’s vegan-friendly, made with natural flavours and sweeteners, and currently available for around £3.30.
Fairy Non Bio Pods Washing Liquid Laundry Capsules
Fairy Non Bio Pods are a Prime Day essential if you want gentle, effective laundry care at a great price. They’re dermatologically tested, kind on sensitive skin, and still tough on stains – which is why they’ve been a staple in my cupboard for years. Stocking up during the sale means fewer last-minute supermarket runs and better value for money per wash.
Aperol Aperitivo 70CL
Aperol Aperitivo is one of those bottles that instantly makes your drinks feel a bit more special – and Prime Day is the perfect time to grab it for less. Whether you're mixing up a classic spritz or experimenting with summer cocktails, it’s a great staple to have on hand. It also makes a lovely gift, so it’s worth picking up while it’s discounted.
method Concentrated Laundry Detergent in Tropical Coconut Scent
Method’s concentrated laundry detergent delivers powerful cleaning at just 20°C, tackling tough stains, reviving colours, and reducing fabric bobbles. A small dose provides long-lasting fragrance, and when paired with matching fabric softeners, creates a harmonised scent experience. Made with creativity and care, it’s designed to uplift your laundry routine and your mood.
Andrex Family Soft Toilet Paper 24 Rolls
The Andrex Family Soft Toilet Paper 24-roll pack is one of those unglamorous but genuinely useful Prime Day buys. It’s soft, strong, and ideal for stocking up – especially if you’ve just moved or want to avoid those annoying last-minute supermarket runs. With a decent discount, it’s a smart way to save on something you’ll definitely use.
REDKEN All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner Set for Dry Hair, With Argan Oil
The REDKEN All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner Set is a brilliant Prime Day buy if your hair’s feeling dry or in need of a little TLC. Infused with argan oil, it leaves hair noticeably softer, shinier, and easier to manage – and it’s a salon-quality duo that usually doesn’t come cheap. If you’ve been eyeing it up, now’s the time to grab it while it’s on offer.
Finish Ultimate Infinity Shine Dishwasher Tablet
The Finish Ultimate Infinity Shine Dishwasher Tablets are a Prime Day essential if you want sparkling dishes with minimal effort. They tackle tough stains, leave glassware streak-free, and come in recyclable packaging – so they’re effective and a bit more eco-conscious too.
Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask
The Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask is one of those luxe beauty gadgets that actually lives up to the hype – and Prime Day is the perfect time to invest. It combines LED light therapy with cooling technology to help calm, firm, and brighten skin in just a few minutes. If you’re into skincare and want a salon-style treatment at home, this is a smart splurge while it’s on offer.
COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray
The COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is a Prime Day favourite for good reason – it delivers sleek, frizz-free hair that genuinely lasts. I’ve used it before big events and humid days, and the results are consistently impressive, like a professional blow-dry in a bottle. If you want smooth, glossy hair without the salon price tag, now’s the time.
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
The ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is a Prime Day skincare staple that’s worth every penny – especially when it’s on offer. It melts away makeup and daily grime while leaving your skin feeling soft, nourished, and hydrated, not stripped.

The Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ Multi-Styler and Dryer is a standout Prime Day buy if you’re after salon-level styling at home. It dries and styles without extreme heat, which means less damage and smoother results – plus, the intelligent features make it even easier to customise your look. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to invest, a Prime Day discount makes it a lot more tempting.
Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
The Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara is a brilliant Prime Day beauty buy if you want serious length and lift without splurging. It gives lashes a full, fluttery look that lasts all day, and the flexible wand makes application super easy.

The Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Brightening Fluid Sheer Glow is a brilliant Prime Day pick if you want lightweight sun protection with added skincare benefits. It gives skin a subtle glow while helping to even tone over time, thanks to the vitamin C.

Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more
Permanently exhausted and not sleeping well? The culprit could be your old, lumpy mattress.
Make no mistake about it, a good night’s sleep is important. That’s why, savvy shoppers, you’ll be pleased to hear about big savings happening at Amazon for its October Prime Big Deal Days, especially on the cult-status Simba Hybrid Pro mattress.
Normally priced at a premium, during this Prime Big Deal Days event you can snap up a Simba Hybrid Pro mattress for a fraction of the price.
The Simba Hybrid Pro mattress is designed to provide an exceptional sleeping experience with its innovative features. At the top, a breathable, pure wool layer ensures a fresher sleep by naturally regulating temperature and wicking away moisture. This helps keep you comfortable throughout the night, regardless of the season.
Top rated with hundreds of 5* reviews, this mattress should come with a warning – you’ll never want to get out of bed.
Simba Hybrid® Pro Mattress
This first ground-breaking, hybrid mattress combines patented technology and has delighted over half a million customers worldwide.
Beneath the wool layer, the mattress boasts a double layer of 2,000 zoned, titanium alloy Aerocoil springs. These springs are strategically placed to adapt to your body’s contours, offering superior spinal alignment and pressure relief. This extra spring layer ensures that your body is well-supported, reducing the chances of waking up with aches and pains.
For those who tend to sleep hot, the open-cell Simbatex foam is a game-changer. This foam promotes optimal airflow and efficiently dissipates heat, helping you stay cool and comfortable all night long.
The mattress also features 100% edge-to-edge support, thanks to the SupportCore base. This base prevents roll-off at the sides and enhances the overall durability of the mattress, ensuring consistent support across the entire surface.
Additionally, the Simba Hybrid Pro comes with a soft, knitted top cover that is both comfortable and practical. The cover zips off easily, making it simple to wash or replace, so your mattress stays fresh and clean.
Better yet? Proudly made in the UK, the Simba Hybrid Pro mattress supports local manufacturing and helps reduce transport emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future.
This mattress is not only designed for comfort but also with a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Plus there are also plenty of sizing options are available to suit your bed frame and it’s incredibly comfortable whether you’re a side, back or front sleeper.
We’re not the only ones raving about the mattress as one reviewer said their ‘Back pain had disappeared!’ With another saying ‘It’s a dream to sleep on.’
A third reviewer even claimed ‘At last I found the mattress I have been after for a long time! I can’t believe my luck! I slept like a baby and the next morning I felt well and incredibly less back/neck pain than usual!’
Intrigued? Don’t sleep on this deal. Head to Amazon sharpish and snap up a Simba Hybrid Pro mattress before time runs out – at 11:59pm this October 8.
