How to choose a diffuser used in bedroom

To choose a diffuser for your bedroom, you should consider the following factors:

1. Size: Depending on the size of your bedroom, you might want to use a medium to large-sized ultrasonic diffuser. This way, you can fill the reservoir with enough water to last you through the night. Smaller diffusers require refills sooner.

2. Scent: Some essential oil scents like rose, ylang ylang, lavender, or chamomile can help those with mild sleep disorders to fall asleep.

3. Placement: Place the diffuser on the opposite side of your nightstand. You don’t want it too close to your bed, to prevent accidentally knocking it off the table as you sleep. It also helps for there to be some distance between your face and the essential oil vapor to prevent direct inhalation.

4. Features: Choose an essential oil diffuser that goes well with your decor and comes with the features you want—such as a long run time, multiple mist settings, or color-changing lights.
