The article recommends MERV 13 since that is recommended by the EPA for 1 inch thick filters this level of MERV that begins to help reduce the types of particulate you would have from wild fire smoke, but if you have a media air cleaner cabinet you may have the option of a deep pleated filter 4 to 6 inches. If you have a common size like the 20x25x5 Honeywell FC100A1037 model which is MERV 11 you could actual upgrade to a MERV 16 Carbon filters like the Lennox X6675 or Atomic MERV 16 20x25x5 which are both Carbon coated and offer substantially more filtration on fine particles than a MERV 13 does. The carbon also help absorb harmful VOC’s(volatile organic compounds). It also has that added benefit of filtering the whole house. You could then add HEPA room air purifiers for the bedrooms for an extra level of protection.
