Breathe in clean (and green) air

Cleaner air and balanced humidity levels in your bedroom can do wonders for your sleep quality. Put simply, the better the air quality, the better you’ll probably sleep. But don’t panic if the quality of the air in your bedroom isn’t something you’ve thought of before! We’re here to help you improve the indoor air quality of your bedroom and get the best sleep possible.*

Our best ideas on how to soundproof your room

Keep it natural

Having air-filtering plants in your bedroom is an excellent way of improving the air quality and removing unwanted air pollutants. Having one plant per 10 square metres is what’s recommended, and aloe vera plants and peace lilies are particularly good air-cleaners. Plus, they look lovely!

Limit central heating

While it’s nice to feel extra warm all night, it’s not the best option for our indoor air quality – or for the environment. If you do need to have the heating on throughout the night, try to keep it low in the bedroom, as central heating can make a room feel stuffy. In warmer months, it’s a much better option to open the window or keep a fan by your bed if possible. 

Keep it pure

One piece of electrical equipment that can be beneficial to air quality is an air purifier. These devices clean the air in a room by removing contaminants, and are particularly useful if your bedroom is prone to mould or dust mites.

Bring balance to your bedroom’s air

If the air in your room is too dry or too wet, try to redress the balance. The easiest way to achieve the ideal humidity levels is by keeping a window open, allowing fresh air to circulate as much as possible. If or when this isn’t possible, use a humidifier to increase the humidity in your room, or a dehumidifier to decrease it.
