Briiv 2 Air Filter
Last updated: 9 October 2026
The Briiv 2 air filter is a glass-domed air purifier, built in Yorkshire, that pulls air through moss, coconut fibre and a nano matrix rather than a plastic filter cartridge. Briiv says one unit cleans a 4 by 4 metre room in 21 minutes.
It costs £329 with the first year's filters in the box, and a year of moss filters after that is £35. I checked Briiv's shop on 9 October 2026 and the Briiv 2 and the Briiv 2 Pro were both sold out, so check stock before you plan around one.
What happened to the original Briiv
The original Briiv shows as sold out on Briiv's own shop. Briiv replaced it with two newer units, the Briiv 2 at £329 and the Briiv 2 Pro at £399, and both were sold out when I checked.
Briiv used to sell refurbished originals, but the listing had gone on 9 October 2026. Briiv said those units might not work with the current Briiv app, and that pairing one could damage its firmware.
How the Briiv 2 air filter works
A fan in the base pulls air up through three layers stacked inside the glass dome. Each layer catches something different, according to Briiv's technology page and filter listings:
- Yorkshire moss. Dried sphagnum moss catches the larger particles, such as pollen and pet dander. You can hand wash it and put it back.
- Coconut fibre. A dense mat made from waste coconut husk traps dust, dirt and smoke.
- Nano matrix. A small nanofibre filter with activated carbon catches the finest particles and odours. It is the one part you swap every three months.
If smells bother you more than pollen, you can swap the moss for an activated carbon layer made from waste organic material. Briiv says the moss and coconut can go in a home compost bin, while the nano matrix and the electrics cannot yet. Our sustainable gifts guide lists more low-waste presents like this one.
The Chief Medical Officer's 2022 report on air pollution notes that indoor air is becoming a bigger share of the problem as outdoor air improves. It also points out that the air in our own homes is the one kind we have much control over as individuals.
Briiv 2 air filter at a glance
- Price. £329, with 12 months of filters included.
- Room size. A 4 by 4 metre space in 21 minutes, which is roughly a generous double bedroom.
- Filters. Moss or activated carbon, plus coconut fibre and a nano matrix. The main layers last a year, and the nano matrix lasts three months.
- App. Briiv's own app tracks filter health and sends alerts when something needs changing.
- Scent. You can add essential oil to scent the air it puts out.
- Warranty. Two years on a new unit.
- Linking. Two or more units connect together to cover bigger rooms or more than one room.
Briiv 2 or Briiv 2 Pro
The two units clean the air in the same way, with the same claim of a 4 by 4 metre room in 21 minutes. The Briiv 2 Pro, at £399, adds air-quality sensors, so the app can show you readings from your room as well as filter health.
For one room, the Briiv 2 does the cleaning for £70 less. The Pro makes sense if you want to see numbers for your air, or if you plan to link units later.
Linking units for bigger spaces
Two or more Briiv units can link together to cover a bigger room or more than one room. Briiv used to sell multi-room bundles built around a Briiv 2 Pro, but they were not on its shop on 9 October 2026.
What the Briiv 2 costs to run
The first year's filters come in the box. From the second year, the simplest route is one of Briiv's one-year filter sets. Each holds one main filter, one coconut disc and four nano matrix filters, which covers a full year.
| Part | Price |
|---|---|
| One-year filter set, Yorkshire moss | £35 |
| One-year filter set, activated carbon | £45 |
| Yorkshire moss filter | £18 |
| Activated carbon filter | £28 |
| Coconut disc filter | £8 |
| Nano matrix filters, pack of 3 | £18 |
| Replacement glass dome | £24.99 |
On moss, then, a Briiv 2 costs £329 in year one and £35 a year after that. Three years comes to £399, which is what the Pro costs on day one.
Briiv 2 air filter FAQs
What are the Briiv 2 filters made of, and what do they cost each year?
Three layers: Yorkshire moss or activated carbon, a coconut fibre disc and a nano matrix with activated carbon. The first year is included. After that, Briiv's one-year set costs £35 with moss or £45 with carbon, checked on 9 October 2026.
How big a room does the Briiv 2 air filter cover?
Briiv says one unit cleans a 4 by 4 metre space in 21 minutes, about a generous double bedroom. For anything bigger, Briiv links two or more units together.
What is the difference between the Briiv 2 and the Briiv 2 Pro?
The Pro adds air-quality sensors, so the app shows readings for your room. It costs £399 against £329. Both carry the same cleaning claim, the same year of filters and the same two-year warranty.
Does the Briiv 2 work with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home or Matter?
No. It runs on Briiv's own app and nothing else. It does not work with Matter, Apple Home, Alexa or Google Home, so it will not appear in a smart home hub or respond to a voice assistant. If you do want kit that joins a hub, our smart home starter kit guide covers the three routes in.
Can I buy a refurbished Briiv?
The refurbished Briiv 2 Pro is no longer listed on Briiv's shop, and neither is the refurbished original. Briiv said the refurbished originals might not work with the current app. If you see either one for sale, ask Briiv's support team about the warranty before you buy.
Can I still buy the original Briiv?
Not new. The original shows as sold out on Briiv's shop. Briiv's refurbished originals were not listed either on 9 October 2026.
Prices, stock and filter details change, so check Briiv's shop before you buy. An air purifier is not a medical device, so talk to your GP or pharmacist about allergy or asthma symptoms.
