What Makes This Good Stuff
A note about COVID-19: All Austin filters contain true medical grade HEPA that removes 95% of all particles larger than 0.1 microns, and the coronavirus is larger than this at .125 microns. Austin’s Bedroom Machine offers an extra level of protection because it contains an additional layer of HEGA carbon cloth, which also captures and destroys airborne viruses.
With four stages of filtration, including potassium iodine, Austin’s Healthmate Junior Plus Air Filter is capable of capturing an extremely wide variety of toxins and pollutants…all the way down to nano size!
This is the smaller version of Austin’s premier air filter. It is appropriately sized for a standard to small bedroom or nursery.
(Here’s our blog post on how to choose the right filter.)
While it is very important that your air filter offer true HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Arrestance), it is important to know that HEPA is built to filter particles, not gas.
This small but mighty air filter combines a range of filtering technologies (including activated carbon and zeolite, which traps toxic gases and odors such as formaldehyde, ammonias, and carbon monoxide). It is a great choice if you are concerned about dust particles, VOCs emitted from furniture and rugs, outside industrial gases, etc.
The Healthmate Junior Plus will do a fine job in any room up to approximately 700 square feet, but if you can filter only one room, we always recommend the bedroom.
The Austin Healthmate Junior Plus Air Filter System has also been designed to help those who suffer from a variety of sleep-related problems.
Sleep Benefits:
- Sounder sleep.
- Reduced snoring.
- Stop sneezing.
- Reduce nighttime allergies and asthma attacks.
- Reduced coughing and wheezing.
- Eliminate dry mouth and runny nose.

Made in Buffalo, New York, Austin Air filters have garnered wide acceptance as one of the very best air filtration systems available. They are the only manufacturers to have their products designated as Medical Grade Air Purifiers, and the only manufacturer to successfully reduce asthma attacks and respiratory problems in a clinical trial. Johns Hopkins Hospital has chosen Austin Air medical grade air purifiers to conduct four clinical trials. Austin filters were selected by the Federal Government to provide the emergency air purifiers to the citizens of Anniston, Alabama, during the destruction of chemical weapons.

Hi! I just wanted to submit a slight oversight in the description of the HealthMate Junior Plus. According to the Austin Air website, the Austin Air HealthMate Junior Plus is not a 5 stage filter as it does not have a HEGA. It’s a smaller version of the HealthMate and is a 4 stage filter. As far as I can tell, the difference between the HealthMate Junior and the HealthMate Junior Plus is the latter has potassium iodine in the filter; however I only concluded this is by comparing the two on the Austin Air website. I’ve been a fan of your website for years. Thanks to you I have completely changed my home environment and the products that I use. Please keep up the great work!!!

You’re absolutely right–thanks for catching our typo! I’ve updated the description so it’s now accurate again. Thanks so much!!

I’ve had various brands of air purifiers in my bedroom for 20+ years due to having dust mite allergies, along with many other allergies. This is the best filter I’ve ever had. It’s cut down my asthma symptoms at least in half, maybe even by 75%. I can’t believe how much of an impact it’s had. I normally spend the spring and summer taking a boatload of supplements for asthma/allergies along with occasionally using an inhaler. In the month some I’ve had this filter, I think I’ve used my inhaler only once, and cut my supplements in half. I still have more allergy symptoms than I’d like, but they are easier to handle when the asthma is reduced.
