Given that VOCs are not covered well by most filters, something with at least 1-3 pounds of carbon. So something like the AllerAir AirMed 1

Get an air purifier that is quiet, which is important for a bedroom setting, also a good air purifier should have a HEPA filter and carbon filter to clean vocs/ odors & dust/ particles. I have a few of the Allerair, small bedroom units, they have worked well for me.

My experience with an allerair unit with vocarb filter was terrible. It seems highly variable in how people feel about this brand from reading comments online. Essentially the unit I bought will never operate as efficiently as they advertise - will never effectively clean the air at a reasonable rate. They admit it but refuse to take the unit back without a 25% restock fee. Their equipment is misadvertised and they don’t deny it The actual CFM is much lower than advertised but the real kicker is the decibels was 30% higher than the max advertised and way too loud to operate at full speed. Meaning actual operation was again reduced significantly because it has to run at a much lower speed to be able to even be in the same room Airmed 1 with vocarb

I would call the Air Purifier Store, they were very knowledgeable and helpful. If you need a large carbon filter for smoke look at alleraire or airpura or Austin. They have models specifically for smoke with large carbon filters, like 25 to 40 pounds of carbon. I have been happy with my 2 alleraires. They will be more than 300 dollars but may be worth it if they work. I’d definitely call and see what they recommend as when I purchased I had decided on a particular model. When I talked to them they explained what was best for my needs, which was cheaper than what I thought I needed.

You might try calling The Air Purifier Store, they are very helpful. I bought a couple Alleraire purifiers from them. They make models especially for smoke. Not exactly cheap, they have some of the largest charcoal canisters.
