The bedroom is perhaps the space where an air purifier can make the most difference, simply because you spend an average of about eight hours a night there. At the same time, a bedroom places different demands on an air purifier than, for example, a living room. In this article, we explain what you should look out for.
Why an air purifier in the bedroom
During the night, you continuously breathe in the air in your bedroom. Dust mites, pollen (with open windows), and fine dust can accumulate in bedding and bedroom textiles. Many people with allergy complaints find that an air purifier in the bedroom can contribute to a more pleasant sleeping environment because the air you breathe is less polluted.
What a bedroom air purifier must meet
Low noise level
This is arguably the most important point for the bedroom. A device that remains around 25 to 30dB on its lowest setting is comparable to the sound of rustling leaves and will not bother most people while falling asleep.
Night mode
A good night mode combines a low, quiet airflow with dimmed or switched-off lighting. A bright display or blue light can be just as distracting as noise when you are trying to sleep.
Sleep timer
With a sleep timer, you set how long the device continues to run before it switches itself off, or you can let it run all night without having to think about it in the morning.
Appropriate capacity for room size
An average bedroom is usually 10 to 20m², sometimes a bit larger. Choose a device whose maximum m² is well above the actual room size, so that it continues to provide sufficient results on a low, quiet setting.
Compact and subtle design
A bedroom is an intimate space, so a device with a subtle appearance generally fits better than a large, conspicuous model.
Our advice
In our experience, most people looking for a bedroom air purifier primarily want one that you don't really notice, except for the cleaner air. The Dynter AirPure Plus PA244 is designed for this: on the lowest setting, the device reaches 28dB, which amounts to a whisper, and the built-in night mode and sleep timer are specifically intended for use while sleeping. With a HEPA13 filter that filters up to 99.97% of fine dust, pollen, bacteria, and viruses and a suitability of up to 55m², the device remains effective even in a more spacious bedroom without needing to run on a high, louder setting.
