A bed headboard with an air purifier inside it, aimed at filtering the air in the small zone around your head rather than the whole room. It is the only product of its kind we have found, and it costs between $2,990 and $4,790.
The idea is narrower than a room purifier and that is the point. A conventional purifier tries to turn over the air in an entire bedroom. AirTulip filters air and directs it down across the pillow, on the argument that the only air that matters while you sleep is the air within a foot of your face.
AirTulip specifies dual HEPA H14 filters in metal cassettes, dual full-width activated carbon filters and two pre-filters on the queen and king. The twin carries a single one of each. H14 is a genuinely high grade of filtration, above the H13 typically found in consumer purifiers. The brand quotes roughly 26 dB(A) in Whisper mode and about 30 dB(A) in Night mode, which is quiet, and there are three modes in total.
Here is the gap, and it is a real one. For a product costing between $2,990 and $4,790, AirTulip publishes no airflow rate, no CADR, no air changes per hour and no power draw anywhere on its site. Those are the numbers that let you compare any purifier against any other, and without them the laminar-flow argument cannot be checked. The brand also states two different filtration figures in two places, 99.97 percent on the product page and 99.995 percent at 0.3 microns on the about page. Those are different grades.
The ongoing cost deserves the same attention as the purchase. Filters run $674 a year on queen or king plus $75 shipping, on a schedule of pre-filters roughly quarterly, carbon roughly every six months and the HEPA cassettes annually. Over five years that is more than $3,000 on top of the headboard. The advertised lifetime warranty is conditional on holding an active paid filter subscription; the unconditional term is one year against manufacturing defects.
Each unit is made to order and hand-assembled in New York and Detroit with a roughly 8-week lead time.
Someone who already runs a good room purifier, sleeps with the bedroom door shut, and wants filtration concentrated at the pillow, and who is comfortable buying on a construction and materials specification rather than a published airflow number.
You want a CADR figure you can compare against a $400 room purifier, you are unwilling to commit to $674 a year in filters, or you need the bed sooner than about eight weeks. If the goal is simply cleaner bedroom air, a conventional purifier with a published CADR will cost far less and can be verified.

AirTulip AirTulip Sleep - buyer FAQ
How much does the AirTulip Sleep headboard cost?
Twin is $2,990, queen is $4,490 and king is $4,790, verified 20 August 2026 from AirTulip’s own product data. The fabric choice between Pearl and Stone does not change the price. Budget for filters as well: the one-year bundle is $674 for queen or king, or $337 for twin, plus $75 shipping.
Does AirTulip publish a CADR or airflow rating?
No. As of 20 August 2026 there is no clean air delivery rate, no airflow figure in cubic feet per minute, no air changes per hour and no power consumption anywhere on the site. That is the single biggest gap in the specification, because CADR is the number that lets you compare any purifier with any other. AirTulip publishes filter grades and construction detail instead.
What does it cost to run each year?
The complete one-year replacement filter bundle is $674 for queen or king and $337 for twin, plus $75 filter shipping ($45 on twin). AirTulip advertises a 15 percent subscription discount with free shipping. The cadence is pre-filters roughly every 3 months, activated carbon roughly every 6 months and the HEPA H14 cassettes roughly every 12 months.
Is the 30-night trial actually free to return?
No. The refund covers the product only. Outbound shipping is not refunded, return freight is deducted from the refund, and the original crate must be kept or a replacement crate is charged. The unit is listed at about 130 lb for queen and king, so the freight is real money. AirTulip does not publish what a return typically costs.
