What you need to know

Drawer or full screen?

Either can work if names, options and actions stay readable. Try your filter choices, such as type and size, on a phone and check whether you can return to the product list without losing them.

Should results change immediately?

If filtering is fast and does not interrupt selection, immediate updates can work. An Apply button is useful when several choices are made inside a panel. Whichever approach you use, the result count must reflect the selection.

How should active choices stay visible?

Show selected filters near or above the results, with a way to remove one or clear all. If the filter panel closes, the shopper still needs to see why only a few products remain.

A simple check to try

Apply, review and clear filters with one hand on a phone. Check that selected choices and the updated result count remain visible.
