About this item
What it captures
Cabana MERV 11 captures the small particles everyday families breathe — pollen, pet dander, mold spores, dust mite debris, and smoke particles down to 1.0 micron. Meets ASHRAE 52.2 MERV 11 standard with electrostatic-charged media.
- Pollen
- Dust
- Dust-mite debris
- Mold spores
- Pet dander
- PM2.5
- Smog
Who it's for?
Cabana's Air Quality Medical Director, Dr. Mervin Cay, prescribes MERV 11 for households with children, dogs or cats, seasonal allergies, mold-prone homes, or basements. The right balance of capture and airflow for daily living.
How it fits
Slide-in installation with airflow arrows printed on the frame — no tools, no fuss. Fits standard HVAC return vents in the size listed. Designed with minimal cardboard and no plastic wrap to reduce environmental impact.
How long it lasts
MERV 11 captures finer particles than MERV 5 or MERV 8, which means the media loads faster. Change every 60 days for consistent airflow — sooner (every 30 days) if you have multiple pets, run your system year-round, or live in a high-smoke region.
Why Cabana?
When choosing an air filter, the question that matters is whether the media protecting your family is of the highest quality. Cabana media is built and ASHRAE-tested in America to ensure consistent performance, every filter, every batch. "Air Quality You Can Trust." — Dr. Mervin Cay, A.Q.M.D.

“If you bought a filter 'for pets,' this is the one you actually wanted. The visible hair? Any filter catches that. The protein particles that trigger pet allergies are smaller — physics says you need MERV 11 to reach them. That's why we don't list pet dander below this tier.”

MERV 5 — The Basics. Clean, simple, everyday protection.
The honest entry tier: dependable defense against the two most common things floating through a typical room. Right for renters, minimalists, and secondary spaces where you want real airflow and a clean baseline. ASHRAE-tested media.
MERV 8 — Everyday Families. Solid protection for everyday families.
The family default: everything the basics catch, plus the dust mites that live in bedding and upholstery. The right tier for couples and households without pet allergies who want dependable, year-round air. ASHRAE-tested media.
MERV 11 — Master Tier. The air most families should be breathing.
The tier we recommend for most homes: it captures seven of the eleven airborne threats we track, including pet dander, mold spores, and the fine PM2.5 particles tracked on local air-quality reports. Built for families with kids, pets, seasonal allergies, or mold-prone rooms. ASHRAE-tested. The flagship Cabana tier.
MERV 13 — Premium. The best air your family deserves.
Our highest tier: it captures all eleven of the airborne threats we track, including smoke particles, exhaust, bacteria, and the larger respiratory droplet particles that carry viruses.
