Purification

They both improve your indoor environment, but they do it in different ways. A humidifier adds moisture to the air, which helps combat dryness that can affect your skin, sinuses, and sleep quality. On the other hand, an air purifier pulls air through a filtration system to capture airborne particles like dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke, then releases cleaner air back into the room.  

They're complementary, not interchangeable, and most people who invest in one may eventually want both to address different needs. Check out our All-in-One Humidifier & Purifier if you're interested in both devices.

A lot. Our bedside air purifiers and nursery air purifiers use multistage HEPA-13 filtration to capture up to 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns*, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. First, a pre-filter catches larger particles to extend the life of the HEPA layer, then the HEPA-13 filter traps the fine particles, and lastly, activated carbon draws in heavy smoke and odor particles as air flows through.  

* - Tested to ISO 29463 standards

The result is air that feels noticeably cleaner. Visit our help center to learn more about Canopy Air Purifier Filter types and what they do for your air.

Running your air purifier around the clock is ideal, especially in rooms where you spend the most time. The Canopy Air Quality Monitoring feature analyzes air quality to make this easy, automatically adjusting fan speed when it detects pollutants and conserving energy when the air is already clean. Need an air purifier for sleep? Sleep-Safe Auto Mode detects darkness and prevents fan speed changes overnight, so your air stays filtered without waking you up.  

Running your purifier continuously will help you get the best possible indoor air quality.

Our systems were specifically designed as air purifiers for sleep spaces and small room air purifiers. Their compact design means they fit on nightstands, shelves, or tucked into corners without taking up much space, and they can be positioned either upright or flat. For the most effective filtration, place them in spots with good airflow so air can circulate freely through the intake and vents. Avoid placing your device directly against a wall or behind furniture where airflow might be restricted. 

Yes, and they work better together. A humidifier addresses moisture levels while an air purifier handles airborne impurities, covering all bases for a comfortable space. In fact, balanced humidity can actually support your air purifier's performance by reducing the static electricity that allows fine particles to cling to surfaces and circulate. 

Want to run both in the same room? The All-in-One Humidifier & Purifier combines our bedroom air purifier with a humidifier, so you get fresh, balanced air without needing twice the space.
