There are different versions of our Everyday Mask, some of which have different types of filters or filter integration. This page explains which versions have which filters and whether they are sewn into the mask or removable. For more information on the specifications of each version, visit this page.

Replacement Filters
Everyday Mask versions 1.0-1.4 have removable filters. At this time we do not have replacement filters available for sale. In terms of third-party filter replacements, we recommend using meltblown non-woven polypropylene filters that do not exceed 6” x “4 in size.
Our removable filters look like this:
