I asked the question a few days ago about air purifiers in relation to IPF and looking for advice. No one seems to have any experience with air purifiers and IPF, so my next question is can anyone give me advice in general.

I have been looking at a Vac air purifier it is a which best buy.

Thanks

Iain

I bought the least expensive one I found and it has been great. Would not do without it. Sleep all night without coughing and am clear in the morning.

I have used an air purifier for years. I always have it running in my bedroom. When I change the filter, it is covered with dust, so it's doing its job. We even have a filter on our furnace.

Here in the states, there is a brand of filters, Hippa, that is very good at trapping dust, dog/cat hair, etc.

Thanks Beth for advice will look into the Hippa filter.So many different purifiers on the market it's difficult to choose.

My daughter went halves with me last year on a Dyson hot & cool link. It stand a good 10 feet away from me on the dressing table. The filter was replaced a while ago @ £50. Guess they are not cheap, but have full remote control and if it gets chilly, you can turn the heat on.

Not what you're looking for?
