What Is The Point Of Cool-air Humidifiers?
Humidifiers are primarily used during the dry season; which could also be considered the cold season. So, it makes sense for there to be hot-air humidifiers but where do cold-air models fit in? You still need to keep your room warm, but with some heating options like hot air heat it seems like it would cancel out any benefit of having a cold-air humidifier, since it would have to be on high constantly just to compensate for the heating. I’ve heard many people say it’s good to keep your room cool even when you have a cold/sore throat but I don’t understand how this could be better than the healing benefits of hot steam air or even a sauna. What are the benefits of a cold room? It’s 75 in my room right now and I’m still cold because this evaporative cold-air humidifier is pumping out cold air. I’m thinking I’ll trade it in for a Vick’s vapor rub humidifier. What’s the correct answer here?
Thanks for any help.

Both steam and cool mist have their uses- it just depends on what is ailing you and what you actually need. Folks that have problems with sinus troubles usually find steam gives them relief, where folks with colds and respiratory troubles find cool mist is easier for breathing. If you simply want to add moisture to your air, you can choose whichever method you prefer. The cold air humidifier isn’t pumping out cold air, because if the temperature isn’t hot enough, you don’t get steam, you get rain. Or snow, I suppose if it were cold enough. It’s just not as hot coming out as the old steam vaporizors. Same principle, though- you are just adding moisture to your air. And either one can make you feel colder, just because of how we interpret cold/hot and how it is effected by relative humidity. Plenty of folks notice dry cold isn’t as cold as a humid cold- even when the ambient temperatures are the same. Same way we tend to prefer a dry heat versus a humid heat. The correct answer just depends on your personal preference, and what feels best for you.
The humidifier is to put moisture in the air. If you keep your room cooler in temperature and dont overheat the air or dry it out, this is better for your sinuses. You could also boil water on your stove to put moisture or humidity back into your whole house and that would make you feel warmer.
