41 Things For Your Home With 5-Star Amazon Ratings That Are Rad As Hell

Amazon

Have you ever bought an item without consulting the reviews? Because I have — it wasn’t pretty. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it hundreds of times: reviews are your secret weapon when you’re shopping online. They’ll tell you the good, bad, or ugly of any product, and they’re an indispensable tool when it comes to browsing through all the brilliant products you can find on Amazon.

There’s only one slight problem — Amazon’s customer review section is massive. Some products even have thousands of reviews, which means it can be difficult to read each one and decide whether it's worth your money. That’s why I’ve come up with this list of Amazon products that are worthy of their five-star reviews.

From a memory foam mattress topper infused with cooling gel, to a handheld steamer that melts away wrinkles from your clothes, I’ve made sure to include a little something for everybody in this list. And in the event you change your mind after you've already checked out, Amazon makes it easy to return their genius products at any UPS store. So what are you waiting for? There's a cozy weighted blanket in here, and I can practically hear it calling your name.
