Noise-Free Nights: Quiet Air Purifiers for Bedroom Use

Discover leading air purifiers that work quietly to deliver a fresh & hygienic sleeping experience.
Summary
- Aside from eliminating airborne pollutants like allergens, bacteria and viruses, dust particles and odours, air purifiers can help ensure a hygienic bedroom environment.
- Perfect for year round use, look for air purifiers with low noise ratings (in dbA), as well as night or sleep modes to ensure peaceful sleep that’s enhanced by clean air.
- Those with Asthma and allergies will benefit from Sensitive Choice approved air purifiers, which have been identified to reduce common triggers.
A HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter is a type of mechanical air filter designed to capture a high percentage of airborne particles. HEPA filters capture particles including common allergens like dust, pollen, mould spores, pet dander, and even some bacteria and viruses. HEPA filters achieve this by forcing air through a dense mat of randomly arranged fibres, trapping particles through various mechanisms like impaction, interception, and diffusion.
Sensitive Choice is a program by the National Asthma Council Australia, helping people with asthma and allergies identify suitable products. Approved items feature a blue butterfly logo, signifying they've undergone rigorous expert review for potential benefits. The Sensitive Choice program covers a wide range of products, from bedding to air purifiers, aiming to reduce common triggers.
When choosing an air purifier, consider its suitability for your room size (in m2) to ensure effective air changes. Look for HEPA filters to capture fine particles and activated carbon filters for odours and gases. Essential features include multiple fan speeds and settings, plus dedicated modes like 'Sleep' or 'Night' for quiet operation. Finally, evaluate the control options, whether on-unit, remote, or via smart apps and voice control, for convenience.
Yes, an air purifier may help with mould, but its effectiveness depends on the type of mould issue. An air purifier with a HEPA filter can effectively capture airborne mould spores, preventing them from settling elsewhere. However, it cannot remove existing mould growth on surfaces or address the root cause of the mould (for example, water leaks). To tackle mould, you may have to fix the moisture source and clean affected surfaces, using the air purifier as a tool to improve air quality.
