Neoplants has bioengineered a pothos plant that removes 30% more pollutants from the air than a regular houseplant.

    So according to a 2019 study you need about 10 houseplants per square foot for it to improve indoor air quality.

    I guess that means all you need are about 50-100 of these neoplants (for $179 each) to improve your bedroom air quality.
