The air quality in your bedroom can affect your sleep. Air pollutants like dust or mold can make it harder to fall asleep. That's why buying a bedroom air purifier can be a great idea. The best bedroom air purifier should be quiet and should make your life more enjoyable by avoiding respiratory problems without you noticing.
Breathing continuously in an enclosed, poorly ventilated space causes both short-term and long-term health effects.
We spend most of our time at home, in our bedroom, and a third of our lives sleeping. Having an air purifier in our bedroom protects us against airborne asthma, allergies, mold, pollutants, bacteria, and viruses.
6 Factors you should consider when purchasing an air purifier for a large space
If you plan to purchase an air purifier for a large space, there are servals factors you should consider
The air purifier must have a quality HEPA filter (in addition to a carbon filter and a pre-filter)
HEPA filters are the key components of an air purifier. “HEPA filter” is the acronym for “High-Efficiency Particulate Air filter” or “high-efficiency particulate air filter”. It removes more than 99.9% of particles from the air.
An air purifier must have a sleep mode
The noise produced by the device is another important factor to consider when choosing an air purifier for your room. You are definitely going to want a quiet nighttime air purifier. All Winix air purifiers have a sleep mode. An air purifier with sleep mode operates at a very low sound level. Indeed, the air purifier must be quiet enough not to interrupt your sleep. To tell if an air purifier is quiet, you need to look at its decibel level.

The air purifier has a maximum capacity adapted to the space of your room
It is important to consider the size of your room. The size of the room that each purifier can clean varies, and you need a device that can filter all the air in your room. On the other hand, if you have a room smaller than the stated maximum capacity of an air purifier, it means that you will clean the air in that same room more times. Which is fantastic!
The Simpure MSA3, for example, offers a maximum capacity of 600 800 1500 Sq. Ft, which is why it is able to effectively clean the air of a small or medium room, even in standby mode.
The air purifier is certified
Air purifiers should be certified by independent and recognized agencies, such as ECARF or Allergy UK. This way, you can be sure that your air purifier is effective and that it will help you clean the air in your room.
The size and design of the air purifier match your room
The principal reasons you should own an air purifier for room
You spend a lot of time in the house
If you spend a lot of time in your bedroom, you also spend most of it breathing its air. The effects of an air purifier are best felt when used in the room where you spend most of your time. This is because you will be constantly exposed to clean air and the short and long-term effects of using an air purifier will be greater.
Your room is completely filled with allergens
Your bedroom, like most people's, is a breeding ground for countless allergens like pollen, dust mites and mold spores. A good bedroom air purifier can help keep you calm and eliminate bothersome symptoms if you or your partner have allergies or asthma. Let’s not forget the VOCs either!
Your room gives off strange smells
Bedrooms can develop a strange smell over time. This can be due, among many other factors, to the age of the house, humidity, old furniture or cigarette smoke. The carbon filter present in the air purifier treats odors.
You or your partner snore
Air purifiers can help reduce snoring! Allergens are one of the main causes of snoring, which causes nasal congestion and leads to snoring.
Where should the air purifier be placed?
Ideally, your air purifier should be placed on a flat, stable surface. The best place to place your air purifier in the bedroom may be the floor or your nightstand. You should always leave a distance of 20 to 30 cm between the device and walls or other surfaces for sufficient airflow and more efficient filtration. Avoid, if possible, putting it in the corners of the room.
