Expert Guides on Pollen & Hayfever

Best Air Purifiers for Allergies in the UK (2026)

Best Air Purifiers for Allergies in the UK (2026)

Suffering from hay fever, pet dander, or dust mites? We evaluated the top HEPA models to find the ones that actually provide relief.

Common Questions

?Do air purifiers work for hayfever?

Yes. They are extremely effective at trapping pollen, which settles quickly indoors without airflow.

?Should I keep windows open?

No. Open windows let in more pollen than the purifier can remove. Keep the room sealed.

?Does filter grade matter?

H13 is standard, but even H11 (EPA) filters remove pollen effectively as the particles are large.

?Where should I place it?

In the bedroom, near the bed but invalid blocking airflow, to ensure a clean sleeping environment.
