AmazonBasics Humidifier — $26, was $28

Humidifiers are a great addition to any household, especially if you suffer from chapped lips or dry skin every morning. The AmazonBasics Humidifier works by adding moisture back to the air so you can have a calmer and more comfortable night of sleep.

If you’re a light sleeper and are concerned about the noise a humidifier would make, don’t fret. This humidifier is whisper soft and can run anywhere between 12 to 24 hours depending on your needs so you can relax knowing your new product won’t turn off in the middle of the night. Get the AmazonBasics Humidifier now for only $26 and up your sleep routine. Check out these other humidifier deals if this isn’t the one for you.
