Whether you are using a relatively sizable 2-in-1 purified humidifier or a portable one, the key to replacing your humidifier is knowing where the humidity is higher and where it is lower. A hygrometer can help you identify this. Then, you can place it according to this insight. Besides, if you’re using large humidifier units, you'd typically want to ensure it is a few feet away from your bed for optimum humidity.

The right placement spot for your humidifier is also a factor of the type of humidifier you own. Warm mist humidifiers can be a great option for colds and allergies. But you have to be careful with their placement as they can cause burn hazards if you keep them too close. Hence, always maintain a reasonable distance between them and every living thing in your home. As you probably know, warm mist units work by boiling water with heating elements, so always ensure your place them on a stable platform before leaving.

Conversely, if you’re using the cool mist option, they can be a bit nearer. However, when you’re sleeping, be sure to keep them a few feet away from you.
