@hopeful33250 @sueinmn @jenniferhunter @frouke - We used a warm mist humidifier years ago for our son and made an awful spot in his hardwood floor with that. Just a heads up to protect surfaces from the effects of warm mist. We finally got it fixed when we had our floors refinished in our previous home.

How would having a cool or warm mist humidifier, which I would assume you'd put in your bedroom, interact with a whole house humidifier? We just recently got a new HVAC, including a whole house humidifier.

@lisalucier We haven't used a vaporizer for many years, whole house humidifier took care of the need. And I actually use sterile nasal saline spray instead - it feels safer to me with multiple lung conditions.

I am in an apartment where there is no ability for a central humidifier. There is carpet throughout, so no worries about damage to hardwood floors. I just need to keep the air humid during the night.
