Edit: plants do nothing to particle matter in air they can soak up co2, benzene, formaldehyde etc but do ample resesrch before placing plants in your bedroom. Typically snake plants are fine in bedroom as they don't give out CO2 at night.

There is no need for an air purifier if you have ample light in your room. Just plant a few indoor plants

Peace lily

Rubber plant

Snake plant

Spider plant

Aloe vera

Money plant

Orchid

NASA has done a study in the 80s and these plants have purified a lot of harmful gases including Benzene, formaldehyde, CO etc

Please use more plants!! And on top of that few plants like Snake, Aloe give oxygen during day and night so they are refreshing (as in they don't just clean air they give oxygen as well) and plants are cheaper and require just water and fertilizer every once in a while.

I own 40+ plants in my balcony garden itself. I've experienced these effects first hand!
