The Ikea filters I used are FÖRNUFTIG (EPA12 + carbon) and the more affordable UPPÅTVIND (EPA only)
If you get a HEPA filter e.g. from Amazon, I'd recommend buying a reputable brand to make sure you actually get what you're paying for. Philips is trustworthy and seems to have reasonably priced replacement filters (important as you'll be swapping them multiple times a year): https://go.toms3d.org/HEPAmazon

I also used an SHT40 temperature and humidity sensor in the front, but it is noticeably inaccurate. I'm currently trying a AHT21 as a replacement.
