Air quality

Your sleep quantity and quality can be greatly compromised by both indoor air pollution and outdoor pollutants that have crept inside. If your sleep is suffering from sneezing nights or you’re waking up feeling congested, consider two solutions that can improve the quality of the air in your bedroom (or any room) without busting your budget—bedroom air purifiers and plants!

Breath easy, sleep better

Air purifiers reduce indoor air pollutants such as pollen during the spring and summer months. Using them in your bedroom whilst you sleep, helps you breathe a little easier through the night.

A bedroom air purifier brings a breath of fresh air to your slumber

“Many of the things we do at home, like cooking and tidying with cleaning products, can leave different particles and pollutants in the indoor air. Another problem can be pollen or other outdoor air pollutants that come in via our ventilation. All these can be absorbed and filtered with the help of an air purifier.” - Henrik Telander, who has worked with STARKVIND and our other air quality products.

Here’s hoping for less sneeze and more zzz’s!

Plants are nature’s air purifiers.

They can help remove mould spores and other toxins that may disturb your beauty sleep. They can also have a general soothing effect and, in addition to improving your sleep, are a wonderful way to style up your sleep sanctuary. Go green – then go to sleep!

Where should I place my air purifier in my bedroom?

With a small air purifier for bedroom use, it can be helpful to place the purifier closest to the potential allergen source. For example, if you’re most concerned about pollen or pollution from traffic creeping inside but want to leave your window open a bit, position the air purifier near the window so it can filter the air more readily. Just be mindful it isn’t placed anywhere it could potentially get wet if it begins to rain.

Also consider your sleep sound preferences. Do you need things as quiet as possible when sleeping, or are soothing sounds a welcome addition to your bedtime routine that helps lull you to sleep? If you lean toward calming sounds for sleep, consider placing your bedroom air purifier on your nightstand or other location near your bed. While all of our air purifiers for bedroom are quiet during operation, you may enjoy the gentle sound that is reminiscent of a fan.

How long to run an air purifier in your bedroom is entirely up to you. If you are very sensitive to air pollutants, you may choose to run it continuously so it doesn’t have to play ‘catch up’ at bedtime. If you prefer to conserve energy and only run it while you sleep, read the product details to determine how much time is needed for it to purify your size bedroom. You can then make it part of your bedtime routine to switch it on while winding down so the air is fully refreshed by the time you’re ready to close your eyes.
