As if we needed yet another thing to worry about this year? Seemingly, dry air isn't just bad news for your chest, throat, and nose. Allegedly, it appears that dry air now also increases the spread of coronavirus.

Nonetheless, if you're looking for a way simple way to combat constant congestion, reduce irritations, and help limit Covid transmission (or as best you can!), then you're in the right place. We found the one-and-only machine that does all of that (and so much more); Enter: Humidifiers. 

A good humidifier runs interference with our heating systems (and the damage it brings), hydrates and moisturizes our skin (Lotions can only go so far!), plus it helps alleviate our winter-related aches and pains. (After all, going from the cold outdoors to the warm indoors is more problematic than we thought!) 

But the keyword here? A "good" humidifier. 

With hundreds of humidifiers available, it is hard for shoppers like ourselves to separate the good from the not-so-good, and we're here to help. 

Whether you're looking to ensure your newborn baby their most peaceful night of sleep, avoid any dry flaking skin, or keep your nose from turning into the Sahara desert, we've rounded up seven must-have humidifiers.
