Often times the best way to solve the OPs problem is just to run the central fan (assuming there is central air) as that will exchange bedroom air with the rest of the house, which assuming the house is significantly larger than the bedroom, will basically solve the problem.
If you are going to do an ERV I would recommend adding a filter box for allergens/dust/etc assuming the ERV you select doesn’t have one built in. Not expensive, it’s just a sheet metal box you put filters in, HVAC guys buy and make them all the time.
If you want to spend even less money, and don’t have central air, you can install a bathroom fan in the ceiling/wall of the bedroom, and have it vent to the rest of the house but this takes a bit of thought with regards to airflow and how the air will mix. But even if all you are doing is effectively doubling the volume of your bedroom, that makes a big difference.
I’ve installed mine in about 6hours (but I do have moderately accessible attic).
They are somewhat cheap too - at $1k or so.
