About Organic Businesses In Australia
Organature was created after Peter (one of our founders) took ill in 1993 as a result of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity issues. At the time there was not a great deal known about the potential health problems and allergies which are often caused by the out-gassing of chemicals used in conventional home wares, bedding products and building materials.
The Health Of Our People
As we all need a good nights sleeps in order to feel energetic and well, it was critical for Organature to create an organic alternative for the bedroom. As a result, Organature are proud to announce that we are the original creators of the totally organic bedroom. From our Organic Cotton Sheets and linen, through to out Organic Cotton mattresses and Australian Hardwood Beds, we have a complete product range to allow people to create there very own Organic Bedrooms.
We understand the importance of looking after our babies and young children as well as us adults, we have a complete range of baby nursery items and clothing for all ages. When it comes to living a healthier life with less chemicals in our home, Organature are certainly here to help.

Using The Purest Organic Products and Processes
When 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.
Regular Bedding and Bed Linen Is NOT Good 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 out-gassing from polyester adds to the harm.
Feeling Better By Gradually Changing Over To Organics
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 out-gassing 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 out-gassing 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.
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.
