The 4 Best Humidifiers For Bedrooms - Spring 2025

The Carepod One is the best bedroom humidifier that we've tested. It's relatively compact for a unit capable of this kind of humidification capacity, making it a very suitable option for those with larger bedrooms who don't want the bulk of a larger unit. The Carepod's biggest selling point is its easy-to-clean design: there are only five main components to wash, most of them dishwasher-safe. The rounded design carries over to the inside, and there are no tight crevices or hard-to-reach spots that you'll need to reach. Like most ultrasonic units, it operates virtually noise-free, so it won't be distracting while you try to catch some shut-eye.

Unfortunately, this is a fairly stripped-down device, especially for something in this high of a price bracket. It lacks an integrated humidistat that would allow the unit to adjust its mist level in real-time and has no Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can't control the unit while you're away from home. Its max runtime of approximately 10 hours is also on the shorter end of the scale, though on the upside, it does have an auto-off function that'll turn the humidifier off once its tank is empty. Availability is also a bit of a concern; at present, it's only really available directly from Carepod's website.

If you're shopping at a slightly lower price point, the Vitruvi Cloud is worth a look. This cool misting ultrasonic model has a sleek, modern appearance and a compact body, so you can easily set it up on a nightstand or dresser. Its humidification capacity is marginally lower than that of the Carepod One, but it should still do just fine in all but the most palatial of bedrooms. You can also add a few drops of your favorite scented oils to its water tank, enabling you to use it as a diffuser. Its narrow shape makes the tank a little tricky to clean by hand, but the unit is easy to take apart and sanitize. As with the Carepod, it operates almost completely inaudibly, and you can use its Night Mode feature to turn off the already unobtrusive indicator lights.

Unfortunately, its main downside here is runtime; at its highest setting, its 1.5 L (0.4 gal) top-fill tank will run dry in just six hours, which is an annoyance if you plan to run it overnight. On the upside, it will turn off automatically once its tank runs out. Besides, you can expect a longer runtime at lower misting settings.

The Levoit Classic 300S is the best humidifier for bedrooms at a mid-range price point we've tested. This model doesn't feel as premium compared to the pricier Carepod One and Vitruvi Cloud. It's considerably more hassle to wash, with a more complex design and a water tank with many hard-to-reach corners. With that said, this cool misting unit is packed with more features than either, with Wi-Fi connectivity that allows you to start the unit remotely through the VeSync companion app before you go to bed and an integrated humidistat that lets it maintain your desired humidity level while you're sleeping. There's also an essential oils tray.

Its top-filling water tank has a generous usable capacity of 6.8 L (1.8 gal), allowing for a substantial runtime of nearly 40 hours, even at its highest misting level. Its main downside relative to the aforementioned Carepod and Vitruvi is its comparatively low humidification capacity, and it'll take a little longer for it to bring your room up to your desired humidity level.

The Crane Droplet is a fantastic choice if you're looking for a bedroom humidifier at a budget-friendly price point. It lacks the Levoit Classic 300S' fancier quality-of-life features, with no smartphone connectivity and no humidistat. Its humidification capacity is also pretty low compared to the pricier models on this list, and as a result, it's best suited for smaller bedrooms.

With that out the way, this humidifier still has a lot going for it; it's easier to clean than the finicky, complex Levoit. While its minimum runtime of 15 hours isn't market-leading, it's nothing to sneeze at either, and it'll certainly still get you through a night of use. Unlike other humidifiers at this low of a price, the Crane also boasts an auto-off feature, so you won't have to babysit the unit while running it overnight.
