How to Avoid Sleeping in a Room With Mould: How Air Purifiers Can Help (May 2025 update)

If you're sleeping in a room with mould, you might notice more than just musty smells—waking up with a stuffy nose, itchy eyes, or unexplained coughs are all red flags. Mould spores thrive in damp, poorly ventilated spaces, and breathing them in night after night can harm your health.  Research shows that exposure to mould can significantly impact sleep quality, leading to insomnia and respiratory issues.

The good news? You don’t need to strip your walls or move out. A medical-grade air purifier for damp and mould in the UK (like the Morris MOR-AP02) can trap 99.97% of spores while you sleep. Pair it with a dehumidifier for maximum protection against damp air—so you wake up feeling refreshed, not congested."

Side Effects of Sleeping in a Room With Mould

Exposure to mould spores while you sleep can lead to:

✔ Respiratory issues – Coughing, wheezing, or asthma attacks

✔ Allergic reactions – Sneezing, itchy eyes, and skin rashes

✔ Chronic fatigue – Poor sleep quality due to congestion

✔ Worsened pet allergies – Especially dangerous for cats, who can develop severe respiratory distress from mould spores. Their sensitive lungs react strongly to airborne toxins.
