Full answer

Printed size is 16x16x1 — a square 1-inch-class furnace or AC filter. This page is only the MERV 13 slice of that size. Tonight (13 Oct 2026) we list Nordic Pure MERV 13 in 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, 12- and 24-packs (nordicpure.com via Awin) plus a Filtrete MPR 1900 6-pack on Amazon. The cut panel is smaller than the nominal size: the JB Tools listing for the same Nordic Pure filter prints about 15.75 × 15.75 × 0.75, and the Filtrete MPR 1900 (MERV 13) Amazon title prints 15.81 × 15.81 × 0.78. This is not a 16x20x1 (four inches longer) or a 16x25x1. Compare all MERV levels on the parent 16x16x1 size page.

Why MERV 13?

MERV 13 catches more fine particles (smoke, some bacteria, fine dust) than MERV 8 or 11, per the EPA MERV table. In a 1-inch filter that comes with more airflow resistance, so it suits systems that run well with a denser filter. Change it on schedule.

Actual size by brand
  • Nordic Pure 16x16x1 pleated: about 15.75 × 15.75 × 0.75 (JB Tools listing for 16x16x1M13-2 / M13-24).
  • Filtrete 16x16x1 MPR 1900 (MERV 13): 15.81 × 15.81 × 0.78 (Amazon B07FP5RRHQ title).
  • We did not find a Honeywell Store 16x16x1 1-inch filter, so Honeywell is not listed.
When not to buy MERV 13 in 1-inch

If your system manual limits filter resistance, or you notice weak airflow, a noisy blower or a frozen coil after switching, step down to MERV 8 or 11 on the 16x16x1 page and ask an HVAC tech.
