The BedJet system relies on a clean filter to deliver consistent airflow and cooling or heating performance. This guide walks American users through a practical, step-by-step method to clean the BedJet filter, extend its life, and keep the air delivery fresh and efficient.
Cleaning the BedJet filter regularly helps maintain airflow, reduces potential allergens, and minimizes noise caused by restricted airflow. The process uses simple tools, many of which may already be in a typical workshop or cleaning closet.
Quick Answer
Turn off and unplug the BedJet, remove the filter, use a BedJet filter cleaning brush or vacuum attachment to loosen dust, and finish with a compressed air duster if needed. Rinse or replace the filter as directed by the model, then reinstall and test operation.
What You’ll Need
- BedJet filter cleaning brush
- BedJet replacement filter kit
- Vacuum attachment for BedJet filter cleaning

Before You Start
Ensure the BedJet unit is powered off and unplugged before any cleaning. Remove all bedding to access the filter area easily. Work in a well-ventilated space to avoid dust dispersal.
