Humidifiers are a fantastic accessory to have in your room because
they keep you nice and hydrated and they can help fight off some pesky
congestion. But how do they work? What's up, world? It's Tony,
the sleep accessories editor for Mattress Clarity, and as such, I am
perfectly qualified to help explain how do humidifiers
work. Let's get started.

These days, there are two main types of humidifiers. You have
warm mist and cool mist humidifiers. Now, truth be told,
there's not much of a difference when you look at the benefits of either using
a warm mist humidifier or a cool, best humidifiers. Because when you
think about it, the mist is going to be room temperature by the time you
breathe it in, so it just boils down to your personal preference.
However, if you're sensitive to sounds while you sleep, a warm
best humidifiers mist be better to go with because they're often quieter than
cool mist humidifiers.
Warm mist humidifiers work by taking the water in the water
tank and sending it to a central heating unit within the base.
This then heats up the water and turns it into steam, hence warm mist.
Now, some warm mist humidifiers will have the option to include a liquid
inhalant or vapor supplement to help you really fight off some
extra congestion. Because after all, that's the name of the game when using a
humidifier.
Now we have cool mist humidifiers. True to the name, there's no heating
element within the base of the humidifier, but you'll often see
cool, cool mist humidifiers called ultrasonic humidifiers.
And that's because there's a component within the base that will produce
ultrasonic vibrations, which is what turns the water
into a vapor, like warm mist humidifiers. Some cool
mist humidifiers do have the option to add a liquid inhaler or vapor
to really fight congestion.
Humidifiers go beyond keeping your airways nice and hydrated.
They also keep your room at an optimal humidity level. Experts agree
that keeping your room at around 40% to 60% humidity is
the ideal humidity level. So this is great information
if you live in a more dry climate. Some humidifiers
will constantly keep going though, and won't shut off once you've reached that
humidity level. But that's why we have smart humidifiers.
Smart humidifiers have a built in sensor that will shut off
when you've reached that optimal humidity level. This is great if
you live in a more wet or humid climate so you don't have to the
best humidifiers always going.
Now let's talk about some benefits of having a humidifier in
your room starting off, as I've said, throughout this video,
they keep your airways nice and hydrated. Now,
this just means your body can more efficiently deal with congestion
by clarity it and keeping your airways nice and open.
They're also a great option if you're dealing with some dry skin, so they'll
keep your skin nice and hydrated. And because you're feeling nice and
hydrated in your airways are open, they can also help with Snoring
too. If you want some of my favorite humidifiers, I've got
