It’s day two of Prime Day, Amazon’s biggest sales event, with still more deals to be had across every category imaginable. There’s a lot to sort through, so here, I’ll be covering all the best discounts for the home inside and out, focusing on furniture — and décor — for the bedroom, living room, home office, kids’ rooms, and garden and patio. To help narrow down the best of what’s on sale, I’ve gone through our archives to pull stuff we’ve written about before — including products I personally love — like a solid-wood Zinus bed we use in the guest room; a mosquito repellent that actually works on me, a mosquito magnet; and a bidet I can’t imagine life without. I’ve also included a standing desk that comes with drawers; mail-order house plants that look great upon arrival; and a not-bad-looking air conditioner, among other hard-to-pass-up products — and making sure that the deals are actually worth it, skipping those that are merely okay.
I’ll be updating this post throughout the day, so keep checking back for more deals. To see what else is on sale, head to our Prime Day hub right over here, where you’ll find a bunch more things to make your space more comfortable, including bedding and mattresses, cleaning and organization supplies, stuff for your kitchen and bathroom, beauty, fashion, baby gear, and a whole lot more. Note that Prime Day ends tonight at 2:59 AM EST and this is my last update of the day, so if you see something you like, don’t dillydally. Below, the best Amazon Prime Day home deals that are actually good.
Brighten up the room with this lemon-and-mint scented candle.
Treat yourself to a more elevated experience with these hand-poured candles from Los Angeles–based natural skin-care company Salt & Stone that are 20 percent off.
There are also tons of Yankee Candles on sale, too, like this 22-ounce lilac-scented one.
Here’s a nice-looking, highly rated tray to set those candles on.
Replace your musty bath towels with this set of six from Amazon Basics that’s made of sustainable cotton, has a GSM of 500, and features a pleasing, dimpled texture.
This stone bath mat sucks up water, dries immediately, and, more importantly, doesn’t get mildewy like traditional terry bath mats, according to Strategist writer Erin Schwartz, thanks to its absorbent material, diatomaceous earth.
For those who prefer a foam bath mat, this cushy set is over half off.
This Himalayan salt lamp is all the rage in college dorms, thanks to its mellow glow and lickability.
Here’s something a bit more polished thanks to a finished edge.
And if you want something fluffy underfoot, check out this softy, plush shag rug that reviewers love.
Get it on the TikTok light-strip trend with this starter kit that includes a color-changing 6-foot-long light strip, base plug, and hue hub.
Here’s another TikTok-teen-approved lighting implement — this time a sunset lamp — for $9.
I, and at least one other Strategist writer, own this security system that’s super-easy to install and operate right out of the box. This set includes an indoor and outdoor camera, window sensors, a hub, two motion sensors, and a keypad.

It’s only going to get hotter from here on out, so you might want to up your air-conditioning game with our Best-in-Class pick from Frigidaire, which is over 20 percent off for Prime Day. (I bought a smaller version of this for the guest room last year, and it’s been performing beautifully so far.)
Here’s a portable AC from Black and Decker that has over 42,000 positive reviews on Amazon if for some reason you’re unable to install a window unit. For Prime Day, it’s nearly 30 percent off.
The Tushy bidet is an excellent starter bidet for those who are bidet-curious, and for Prime Day, it’s even more enticing with its discount.
This fully automated bidet is the one we use at home, and I can’t imagine life without it.
Get your mattress off the floor and gain some underbed storage space with this simple metal bed frame that’s got over 27,000 positive reviews.
A king-size bed for under $200 is a steal.
I personally own a version of this bed and use it in our guest room. It’s made of solid wood and very sturdy.
If you prefer an upholstered bed, this highly reviewed one is $200.
This end-of-bed bench is upholstered in velvet and has a modern brass-finished metal base that looks much more expensive than its sale price.
Upgrade your dining-room seating (or patio setup) with this set of metal dining chairs.
Here’s something a little more stylish. It comes in green, black, and sky blue, in addition to this gray shown here.
Or try these mid-century-modern-inspired shell chairs that can work in both the dining and living rooms.
Work-from-home is more or less here to stay, so consider getting a real office chair like this ergonomic one that can help you maintain your posture and keep you more comfortable.
And if you prefer something padded, here’s a faux-leather option.
Or ease into it by trying a balance disc instead, which will still give you a bit of a workout but offer more stability than going full-ball.

The matching chairs come with seat cushions.
Our best-in-class compost tumbler that experts and Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo call “surprising weather resistant” and “super-functional” is nearly half off. It produces very rich plant fertilizer too, of course.

I am a mosquito magnet and Thermacell’s repellents are the only things that keep those suckers away from me.
This small but mighty lantern is great for use outdoors, but also as a backup light in case the power fails.

This Herman Miller–esque table-and-chairs set for kids is made from all-natural bentwood and can transform from a workbench to a seating bench to a table to a desk and even into a minimalist, Scandinavian–inspired coffee table for grown-ups. The chairs tuck neatly underneath the workbench and can also turn into side tables.
