Organature – Number 1 Certified Organic Cotton Manufacturer In Australia

From inception our aim was to assist with the understanding and education of Certified Organic Cotton and the health benefits which can be achieved by using mattresses, bedding, bedlinen and garments made from Certified Organic Cotton.

What Being Certified Organic Really Means

Certified Organic bedding and textiles are not always understood. There is a lot of misleading advertising, claims that products are natural and organic when they are clearly not, and certainly not Certified Organic.

Certified means that you are purchasing products which do not contain harmful chemicals. The raw product and any further processing is without harmful chemicals. It also means that an independent company makes regular inspections from farmer to production, and will issue certificates which are the assurance of the certification.

We pride ourselves that with our many years of experience of bedding and bedlinen in the conventional market and the consequent MCS injury sustained by Peter caused by out-gassing of the chemicals in the non-organic products, also with our subsequent years of experience with Certified Organic Bedding and Certified Organic Linen, many come to us not just for products but first with questions and advice.

The Only Australian Business Manufacturing Bedlinen From Certified Organic Cotton

No matter what other manufacturers might claim, we are the only firm in Australia who make all bedlinen and bedding accessories in our own sewing rooms and have total control over the manufacturing process. In addition to the many mature trees already around our property where we first began producing our bedlinen (and some of our other bedding products), we have planted over 150 more trees and shrubs and installed solar panels. Water is also collected on our property. We strongly believe that we are now manufacturing our bedlinen and bedding carbon neutral and in addition provide some offset for water used in the manufacturing of our fabrics.

Our products ARE made from 100% Certified Organic Cotton. All our fabric and the filling for mattress and futons are GOTS Sustainable Textiles (Global Organic Textile Standard), certified by Control Union. They are packed in either Certified Organic Cotton fabric bags or biodegradable cellulose film, and final packaging for freight/post in cartons, the only plastic we use is to protect mattresses and rolls of fabric for transport.

We sell direct so that you are able to purchase the safest products for bedroom, nursery, bathroom, baby and child and yourself direct from the manufacturers Organature, at the most reasonable prices. Selling direct also means that the products are not contaminated by third party outside sources.

Improved Health Benefits From Using Quality Australian Hardwood Timber Too

Health benefits may also be achieved when using our Australian manufactured hardwood products (bed bases, bedside tables etc). This Australian hardwood timber has been kiln dried so off-gassing of the volatile oil (eucalypt) has been minimised. Pine on the other hand, being a soft wood, out-gasses volatile terpines (terpentine). One of the major benefits of our local product is that it IS LOCAL, thus avoiding the fumigation requirements of products imported into Australia.

Australian quarantine regulations requires fumigation of timber and timber products. Fumigation chemicals are harmful to health, and a possible cause of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) in babies. Other timber products are also made here with MDF, full of formaldehyde, another cause of SIDS? Glued and finished with petro chemical paint and stain, another cause of SIDS? — It’s not worth the chance for anyone.

Creators of the Organic Cotton Bedroom™

We are the only manufacturer producing genuine organic cotton innerspring mattresses and futons in Australia. Everything we make and use has been thoughtfully chosen with Chemical Sensitivity, Asthma and Allergy Sufferers in mind, right down to the packaging and the ink we use to print our invoices.

Our sewing room / showroom is located in Newhaven Victoria.

Why Do We Make Organic Products?

One of our founders, (Peter) was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) in 1993. He was forced to give up work as a result. There is no total cure for this strange ailment which can strike anyone at any time. When we were researching MCS we discovered that many people are allergic to many things, such as perfume deodorant, soap powders and more (due to the chemicals they contain) As a consequence, sufferers can feel tired, experience difficulty breathing, have asthma like attacks and get rashes or other allergic reactions. It is quite common for people to be suffering from allergies or chemical sensitivity without even realising the true cause.

Chemical sensitivity or asthma sufferers, (like everyone) need to get a good night’s rest. Avoiding the traditional bedding products including sheets, pillows and bed linen which are often treated with potentially allergy aggravating, (and potentially causing), chemicals, is really important in helping you FEEL BETTER.

Why Is Regular Bedding and Bed Linen Bad For Us ?

Conventional cotton bedding and bedlinen often contain chemicals such as formaldehyde to make them Non Iron, Easy Care, Wrinkle Free, Permanently Pressed, Flame Proof and many other fancy names. With polyester/cotton the chemical outgassing from polyester adds to the harm.

Feeling Better By Using Organic Products

To minimise exposure to the harmful chemicals that were making Peter so sick (he couldn’t work and could barely even get out of bed) we use ONLY Organic products in our home (with special emphasis on what we sleep on and under). We witnessed massive improvements in Peter’s health, due to these changes. (proven in 2000 by blind and double blind testing to have come from the outgassing of the chemicals in his family conventional bedding and bedlinen manufacturing factory).

Organature was created because there was no Bedding Manufacturer using clean and safe Organic practices in Australia. Research showed there were also many other Australians with symptoms like Peter’s caused by reactions to chemicals and we decided to make, import where necessary and supply the range of Organic Cotton goods that people were desperately needing to regain their health.

Only Safe Organic Products and Packaging Are Used

All Organature bedlinen and other bedding products are made in Australia in our own sewing rooms under strict clean conditions. Our requirements to supply HEALTHY PRODUCTS to the public which are NOT contaminated by outgassing from other products and are more strict than organic certification requirements.

Our manufacturing area, sewing room and showroom walls are painted with natural organic paint, the suspended ceiling is hardwood frame with organic cotton calico, and the cutting table is Australian hardwood. (We DO NOT use chipboard or MDF). We are predominantly a family business and none of us use synthetic fragrances from perfumes, deodorants, aftershave to hand creams, personal care products etc.

We follow the European Organic certification standard which is more stringent and health promoting. We don’t use the American standard because it allows certain chemicals to be used in fabrics, like OB fabric whiteners, which are not allowed in Europe.

We control all aspects of the fabric supply and import, the products we manufacture ourselves and those we have made especially for us under strictly controlled contract, without contamination from outside sources. Our mattresses, doonas, quilt covers and pillows are filled with clean Certified Organic Cotton and comply with very strict organic specifications.

About Our Packaging Materials

An Organature innerspring mattress or futon mattress is first packed in a handy draw string bag made especially from our organic cotton calico fabric and then meticulously wrapped in one layer of thick plastic and finally in a carton for outside Melbourne and interstate transport.

This gives extra protection between the mattresses and the outer wrapping. All of our other bedding and bedlinen products are packed in either an organic cotton calico bag or true cellulose film and mostly in a carton for transport. We care that you receive your new mattress, bedding, futon, sheets, pillows, towels, clothes or any other organic products we sell, in the best possible condition.
