Why Organature Make Organic Products
When one of our founders, (Peter), was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity he was forced to give up work. To minimise exposure to the harmful chemicals that were making Peter so sick we use “only” Organic products in our home, with an extra special emphasis on what we sleep on and under. We saw a significant improvement in Peter’s health, due to these changes.
As there was no Bedding Manufacturer using clean and safe Organic practices in Australia, we formed Organature and began the process ourselves. There are many thousands of Australians who have similar symptoms to that which Peter was suffering, we believe these symptoms and many other allergies are caused by reactions to chemicals found in the conventional products most householders would currently buy or own. We now make, import (where necessary) and supply the range of Organic Cotton goods that many people were desperately needing to regain their health.
Only Safe Organic Products and Packaging Are Used
All Organature bed linen 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. READ: Why Certified Organic Really Matters.
About Our Eco-Friendly Packaging Materials
An Organature innerspring mattress or futon mattress is first packed in a handy draw string bag made especially from our organic cotton bag 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 fabric 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.
About Our Organic Business
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. Health benefits may also be achieved when using our Australian manufactured hardwood products. 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. One of the major benefits of our local product is that it IS LOCAL, thus avoiding the fumigation requirements of products imported into Australia.
What Does Certified Organic Really Mean?
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 ONLY work with Certified Organic Fabrics, Materials and Fillings, not just because we need to for our own health and quality of life, but because many of our customers have been caught out buying products (especially mattresses), that exacerbated various symptoms and made them feel ill. We have witnessed a dramatic increase in misleading advertising and false claims by retailers in Australia recently.

Do You Have Some Questions?
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 Bedding and Bed Linen, many come to us not just for products but first with questions and advice.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions either by email or phone. Most times phone is easier and better as that way we can be more detailed and informative. Many times answers to questions lead to more questions. Our experienced staff are always happy to help, in any way they can.
