The best Amazon Basics deals
Storage Ottoman
Miss the Memorial Day furniture sales? Don’t worry—this storage ottoman is still on deep discount. Ottomans are the stylish secret to staying organized with limited space. The top folds up, and inside is enough room to stow pillows, blankets and toys. Snag this one in the Amazon deals section and save a staggering 40%.
Waterproof Mattress and Box Spring Cover
Finding a mattress protector that will keep your investment safe is almost as important as finding the right mattress. The Amazon Basics waterproof mattress and box spring cover—available at a savings of $12—uses vinyl-free polyester knitted fabric to keep moisture, bugs and dust out. It even stretches up to 18 inches deep for extra-tall mattresses.
Slack Hangers
Fill up those closet organizers with a pack of 30 slack hangers for $5 off. An open side offers ample room to slide on trousers, skirts and shorts. Or, use them to hang scarves, ties or towels—the rubber-coated metal clings to cloth, so whatever is hanging never slips off.
Stripe Beach Towel
Say hello to the sun with this two-pack of striped beach towels. The best time to buy towels and sheets is when they’re on sale during the summer months—hence the hefty 34% discount on this set.
