Can You Place a Humidifier by Your Bed? Placement Guide
Overview
A humidifier can sit near your bed, but keep it at least 1 meter (3 feet) away and don’t point the mist outlet at your face, so nearby mist doesn’t affect breathing and sleep.

|---|---|---|
| Nightstand | Yes | 1m from bed |
| Pointed at face | No | Affects breathing |
| Against wall | No | Prone to damp |
