Air Purifiers For Sleep—5 Filters To Look For In An Effective Air Cleaner

Using an air purifier in the bedroom to help you sleep can be an effective solution for eliminating irritants that interfere with sleep. But the cleaner you use to filter those irritants (that are probably keeping you awake every night) must have the following 5 filters. Only then can you be sure that your cleaner will make it possible for you to sleep.

Large Particle Pre-Filter—This is the first line of defense against airborne particulates. Designed to trap big particles that you can see such as hair (both pet and human), and all that goes into dust bunnies, it keeps the other filters that are best at trapping smaller particles from becoming clogged prematurely. The advantage is that these relatively large particulates are not allowed to clog filters designed for smaller particles.

Medium Particle Pre-Filter—This captures slightly smaller particles such as those tiny bits that you can see when the sun streams in through a window. These particulates are generally fine pieces of paper, lint from fabrics, mold spores, and various types of pollen.

HEPA—This is a term that is used frequently in the filtration industry. It is an acronym formed by taking the first letters from the words high efficiency particle arresting.

It is a handy abbreviation for this technology and by definition has to be able to remove 99,997 out of every 10,000 airborne particles that are.3 microns or greater. A micron is a measure of length and is defined as one millionth of a meter. It is, as its name suggests, highly efficient at invisible particles such as bacteria and viruses.

Carbon—Carbon filters are well known for their ability to remove gaseous pollutants such as chemicals, gases, and odors. Having this type of filter helps eliminate smells from household cleaning products, personal products, and lingering odors that may come home from work or school on clothes. It can also freshen up the air from the tell-tale smell of pets.

HEGA Filter—Another acronym, this one takes the first letter of the words high efficiency gas adsorption. And adsorption is the correct spelling for this term. This is a process in which gaseous molecules are attracted to the solid surface of the filter, adhere to it, and are therefore pulled out of the air.

Commonly referred to as cloth, this type filter packs a double whammy because its carbon nature provides further eliminations of gases, odor, and smoke. But the fact that it is a cloth makes it able to trap particles as well. First developed by the British Military as a defense against chemical warfare, it can be extremely effective are eliminating gaseous pollutants that may be interfering with your sleep.

Choosing an air cleaner with these 5 types of filters means your cleaner has the ability to multi-task and remove the myriad of pollutants from your bedroom. The benefit to you is that one cleaner (rather than multiple cleaners) can do it all, and you can rest well whenever you choose.
