Is The New Canopy Bedside Humidifier 2.0 Worth The Hype? I Tried It For 2 Weeks To Find Out

Every year like clockwork, the air gets dry and my skin follows suit. But about a year ago I discovered the antidote to my thirsty pores: the Canopy Bedside Humidifier.

The morning after I plugged it in, my skin was plumper and dewier than any overnight mask had ever left it. I was also breathing easier with clear sinuses.

That's why I'm bursting with excitement over the brand's just-launched Bedside Humidifier 2.0 model, which introduces sleep-inducing benefits to the mix using optional red light therapy and white noise.

The Canopy Bedside Humidifier 2.0 takes all the features I loved about the OG model and kicks things up a notch. 

The basics of the machine operate in the same way: You simply fill up the tank with water, plug in the device, and turn it on.

The 2.0 uses the same UV LED to cleanse the water and the Smart Persistent Airflow (SPA)™ technology to keep the fan running while the water tank is full. 

I love the peace of mind I'm getting from the extra mold protection, but I'll be honest: What really pushed me to swap out my original Canopy for the 2.0 is the new sleep features.

The Bedside Humidifier 2.0 has a new night light feature that uses science-backed red light technology to help promote natural melatonin production (a gateway to deeper, more restorative sleep!). 

There's also a warm white light option if you'd prefer, and both light settings are adjustable so you can find the perfect brightness for your own optimal wind-down. 

Given my experience with the original Canopy, I already knew what benefits to expect for my skin and sinuses.

You see, dry air causes the water to evaporate from your skin1, which can lead to a damaged skin barrier (e.g., bumps, flakes, sensitivity, etc.). In fact, research has shown that low-humidity environments can decrease skin elasticity and lead to fine lines2 in as little as 30 minutes.

By adding moisture to the air, humidifiers keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

Like I said earlier, it took only one night with my original Canopy to see the difference. The next morning my skin was dewy and plump, and it helped my entire face look brighter.

As for the 2.0, I was instantly impressed by the new sleep features. Light can significantly affect your circadian rhythm, sleep, and mood3, and red light specifically helps signal to the body that it's time to wind down. 

I'll admit I already have a bedside red light I swear by to help improve my sleep—but I love that this new device streamlines things, serving as a humidifier and sleep enhancer.

What was completely new to me is the white noise feature. I know noise disturbances have been shown to wreak havoc on your sleep4, but I still had yet to try white noise—and it made a bigger difference than I expected.

Studies show white noise can have a significant positive impact5 on sleep quality and duration. Since testing my Canopy 2.0, I've noticed my sleep scores are slightly higher and I have fewer wake-ups in the middle of the night.

It's also worth mentioning that you will need to swap out the filter every six weeks or so. You'll see the "filter" light turn on once it's time.

After two weeks with the Canopy Bedside Humidifier 2.0, I truly believe it belongs in every bedroom (and it will sell out quickly). This one device has me breathing easier and sleeping deeper, plus it keeps my skin dewy all through the driest winter months.
