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.
(Here’s our blog post on how to choose the right air filter.)
With 5 stages of filtration, including a military grade carbon cloth filtering system called HEGA (High Energy Gas Absorbtion), Austin’s Bedroom Machine is capable of capturing an extremely wide variety of toxins and pollutants…all the way down to nano size!
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. The Bedroom machine is the only filter in the industry that has both HEPA and HEGA filters, combined with other 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.
This unit is called the Bedroom Machine because we spend more hours per day in the bedroom than any other room. If you were to only filter one room, it should be the bedroom. That said, as the top-of-the-line filter on the market, we use the Bedroom Machine in our primary living spaces as well.
In addition, the Austin Bedroom Machine Air Purification System has also been designed to help those who suffer from a variety of sleep-related problems.
Sleep Benefits:
- Sounder sleep.

- STAGE 1 – Large Particle Pre-filter. Removes particles easily seen by the naked eye (e.g. dust, hair and pet dander)
- STAGE 2 – Medium Particle Pre-filter. Removes small to medium size particles (e.g. molds, spores and pollen)
- STAGE 3 – Over 780 cubic inches of Activated Carbon, Potassium Iodide Impregnated Carbon and Zeolite. Removes Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, benzenes, chemicals, gases and odors.
- STAGE 4 – 60 sq. ft. of True Medical Grade HEPA. Removes 99.97% of all particles larger than 0.3 microns and 95% of all particles larger than 0.1 microns.
- STAGE 5 – Military Grade HEGA Carbon Cloth. HEGA (High Efficiency Gas Arrestance), providing an extremely large surface area for adsorption of chemicals, gases, viruses and bacteria
This air filter also helps to ensure a healthy nursery or home environment by removing bacteria and viruses. The Bedroom Machine will cleanse the air for areas up to 1500 square feet!
The Austin Air Bedroom Machine was used in clinical trials at the University of John Hopkins to reduce Nitrogen Dioxide levels in the homes of local residents. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is a gas often present in homes where there are gas stoves. High levels of NO2 are particularly dangerous for people with COPD. The gas can dramatically increase symptoms of coughing, wheezing and chest tightness. The results were dramatics. NO2 dropped in the kitchen by 27% and continued to stay low for the length of the study. Within a week NO2 levels in the bedroom dropped by 23%.
Replace the filter once every two years.
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.

Maia James (store manager) –
We have never noticed any smell at all, so I assume this will be remedied with the new one! Please let us know if it’s not.
Kathleen –
Worth the price, we had our indoor air tested by home air check and one of the recommendations was getting a high quality air purifier. Has made such a difference.
