Humidifiers

A humidifier adds water vapor to the air to raise the humidity in your room. Dry air is common in winter and in air-conditioned rooms; it pulls moisture from your skin, lips, sinuses, and throat. Bringing a room to 30 to 50% relative humidity addresses dryness and stuffiness and helps make spaces feel more comfortable.

An evaporative humidifier uses a fan to move air through a water-soaked filter. Water in the device evaporates into your room as invisible vapor. Minerals stay in the filter instead of leaving the unit, so there's no white dust, even with tap water. Evaporation slows as the air gets damper, preventing over-humidification.

Every evaporative humidifier is a humidifier; the difference is how the moisture is made. Ultrasonic and warm-mist humidifiers push out a visible mist or steam that can carry minerals and heat into your room. An evaporative humidifier releases invisible water vapor from a wet filter, so there's no mist, no white dust, and no hot water.

Yes. Evaporation is the same reason a wet towel raises a room's humidity; a fan and a large filter surface just speed up the process. Canopy's Bedside 2.0 and Nursery 2.0 humidify rooms up to 500 sq ft on a 2.5L tank for up to 36 hours, and the Large Room Humidifier covers up to 1,000 sq ft.

Yes, for most people. Running a humidifier overnight can help ease stuffiness and dryness in the mouth, nose, and throat that can occur overnight. Keep your bedroom between 30 and 50% humidity and choose a mist-free evaporative unit like the Bedside Humidifier 2.0, so nothing settles on your bedding or nightstand.

Dry skin and lips, a scratchy throat or stuffy nose when you wake up, static shocks, cracked wood or gaps opening in floors and furniture, and a hygrometer reading under 30% are all signs of low indoor moisture. The EPA recommends keeping indoor humidity between 30 and 50%.

Canopy devices are evaporative humidifiers, which is different from the ultrasonic models you might be familiar with. Instead of producing a visible mist, evaporative humidifiers draw air through a wet filter and release clean, invisible moisture into the room. Unlike ultrasonic humidifiers, this doesn't disperse hard-water minerals and microscopic particles, minimizing airway irritation and residue on surfaces.  

With Canopy's evaporative approach, what reaches you is filtered humidifier technology creating no mist, mess, or residue. It's a cleaner way to humidify, and your body and home will notice the difference.

Yes, and that's one of the features that makes Canopy humidifiers special. Many humidifier manufacturers recommend using filtered or distilled water in their devices to prevent mineral buildup and white dust, adding ongoing cost and effort.  

Canopy filtered humidifiers work with regular tap water. The built-in filter catches waterborne contaminants and minerals before the moisture is released into the air, so you get clean hydration without the extra step of sourcing filtered or distilled water. Just fill and run it and you'll start noticing the difference.

Yes, and this is one of the top features across our entire lineup. The tank, tray, cap, and grill on Canopy humidifiers are all dishwasher safe, so cleaning takes only a few minutes out of your day. 

The only part that stays out of the dishwasher is the main body housing the electrical components, which you simply need to wipe down. Replace the antimicrobial* filter every 45 days and you're covered. Visit our help center to find Large Room Humidifier cleaning instructions and bedside and nursery care instructions.

* - The filter media has been treated with an antimicrobial agent to inhibit fungal growth within the product. This treatment does not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs or other disease organisms.

Our humidifiers for bedrooms, the Bedside Humidifier 2.0 and Nursery Humidifier 2.0, both cover rooms up to 500 square feet.

The Large Room Humidifier can handle spaces of up to 1,000 square feet, so it works well for open living areas and larger bedrooms.
