About The Colour Of Our Products

Organic certification allows certain biodegradable, low impact dyes to be used when producing fabrics. This certification allows oxy, hydrogen peroxide bleach to provide the whiteness to the fabrics. ‘Ultra White’ chemical is NOT used on our fabrics. For those who like to have white or to see a bit of colour in their bedroom, we have introduced these oxygen bleached and SAFELY dyed bed linen to our range.

These fabrics are also suitable for clothing for all the family, cushions, home decorating, bedding, bed linen, baby products and also curtains.

ABOUT THE CERTIFICATION: All our fabrics and filling are certified GOTS, (Global Organic Cotton Standard). This means that all our ‘Natural’ and ‘Dyed fabrics are GOTS certified. We do not sell anything else.

ABOUT THE DYES: The dyes used to colour the fabrics are low impact chemical dyes. ‘Vegetable’ and ‘Herb’ dyes are not able to be economically produced on a large scale.

ORGANIC COTTON IS BETTER: The difference with organic cotton textiles and conventional textiles is that certified organic cotton textiles are not treated with harmful chemicals such as colour fastener, wrinkle free, non-iron and lately fragrances, all of which are chemicals harmful to both the planet and humans. These treatments are not needed with certified organic textiles due to the fact that 100% cotton and even 95% cotton 5% elastane, (which is also permitted under GOTS: 5% elastane is the limit), absorb the dyes without further treatment with setting chemicals.

Organic-cotton-Futon

The healthiest sleep you can have is on an Organature futon – the only genuine *Organic Cotton Futon manufactured in Australia.

Made from the highest quality organic ingredients and in a clean safely controlled environment away from any chemical contaminants, you couldn’t ask for a healthier bed to wake up on.

When combined with an organic cotton futon mattress protector, attractive and stylish natural organic cotton bed linen, fluffy organic cotton pillows, warm organic quilt and a soft cotton blanket, the chances of feeling noticeable health benefits are even higher…babies tend to sleep better, children tend to sleep soundly, allergy sufferers tend to wake feeling better, and you’ll tend to have a good sleep too.

See the organic bedding and bed linen product list for more ideas.

The Organic Cotton Futon

Futons and futon covers come in a range of sizes to suit every member of the family.You can buy from the large king and queen sized futon beds for adults, middle sized single or king single for teens and children to the smallest bassinet and cot size futons for baby.

Special sizes may be produced for baby Bassinet, Cradle, Pram and Cot futons on request. Contact us for further details. (See below for a full list of sizes and measurements).

Inside each futon are many layers of soft Certified Organic Cotton wadding which creates firm and healthy support for your back, encouraging a healthy and relaxing nights sleep. It has then been covered with Organatures’ exclusive ‘Org-Suede Flannel’ certified organic cotton fabric which has ‘Control Union’ certification.

The Futon & Your Health

organic-cot-futon

Organic cotton futons breathe, which helps eliminate moisture retention and allows the mattress to remain dry or to dry quickly, thus avoiding the possibility of mould or mildew developing.

This ‘breathing’, together with the soft Suede Certified Organic Flannel fabric covering also reduces dust mite problems (these annoying and allergy causing little creatures prefer warm, moist conditions).

An organic futon retains its clean natural state, allowing skin to breathe which encourages a deeper and more restful nights sleep. Your family will thank you for it!

How To Care For Your Organic Cotton Futon Mattress 

Futon Covers

We always recommend that you use an Organature ‘Org-Suede Flannel’, machine washable,  mattress protector. They are really easy to fit and are designed exactly the same as a fitted sheet and come in all the above sizes.

The Futon Base

To allow for proper breathing the futon mattress should always be placed on a slat bed base.

Australian hardwood Futon base

All Organature futon and bed bases are supplied in a convenient flat pack which is very easy to assemble. It takes less than 5 minutes to set up completely – no nails no screws, no glue.

The wooden bed base is not varnished or painted to further help those with sensitivities and allergies, but should you wish to apply an organic varnish, we suggest you contact Livos.com.au

The timber slats should NOT be varnished or painted.

For increased effectiveness of the health benefits gained when using these certified organic products on a daily basis, we strongly recommend that you buy our natural timber slat bed base in conjunction with your organic cotton futon, which has been custom made from Australian plantation hardwood.

NO glues are used, and No fumigation processes have taken place.

WARNING – Please DO NOT USE imported timber and timber products (which are most likely fumigated) with your pure organic cotton futon. We also DO NOT recommend the use of pine due to the high content of terpenes (turpentine). DO NOT use chipboard, MDF or plywood either, or you are decreasing the chances of experiencing the real HEALTH BENEFITS associated with purchasing a pure organic cotton futon in the first place.

Our futons were originally intended to satisfy the needs of very chemically sensitive people whose everyday health and wellbeing depend on a non toxic nights sleep above all else.

Safe For Allergy, Asthma And Chemical Sensitive

The Only Organic Cotton Mattress Made in Australia

 

Organature is the ONLY manufacturer producing genuine organic cotton futons and innerspring mattresses in Australia.

Everything we make and use has been thoughtfully chosen with Asthma, Allergy and Chemically Sensitive Sufferers in mind, right down to the packaging.

Why Do We Make Pure Organic Products?

 

One of our founders, Peter, was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (M.C.S.) 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. Read more about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome HERE.

certified-organic-products

When we were researching M.C.S. we discovered that many people are already allergic to perfume and deodorant (due to the chemicals they contain), and can feel tired, experience difficulty breathing, have asthma attacks and get rashes or other allergic reactions, some without even realising the cause!

Treatment for Chemical Sensitivity – At this time, the only recognised remedy and precaution for Chemical Sensitivity is the ‘Avoidance of Chemicals’.

As a chemical sensitivity or asthma sufferer, it is vital to get your rest without the effects of chemicals. Avoiding the traditional bedding products including sheets, pillows and bed linen (which are often treated with potentially allergy causing chemicals), is really important in helping you FEEL BETTER.

Why Is Regular Bedding And Bed Linen Bad For Us? – Conventional cotton sheets often contain chemicals such as formaldehyde to make them ‘Non-iron’, ‘Easy care’, ‘Wrinkle free’, ‘ Permanently pressed’, ‘Flame proof’ and many other fancy names.

Feeling Better By Using Organic Products – To minimise exposure to the harmful chemicals that were making Peter so sick that 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), and have witnessed massive improvements in Peters’ health, due to these changes.

Organature was created because there was no Cotton Bedding Manufacturer using clean and safe Organic practices in Australia. Research showed there were also many other Australians with symptoms caused by reactions to chemicals and we decided to make, import where necessary and supply the range of Organic Cotton goods that people were so 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, are *stricter than organic certification requirements.

Organature organic cotton manufacturer Australia

*Our manufacturing area and sewing room walls are painted with natural organic paint, the cutting table is Australian hardwood, (we DO NOT use chipboard or MDF), we are a family business and none of its’ members use synthetic fragrances from perfumes, deodorants, aftershave, 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 fabric whiteners, which are not allowed in Europe.

We control all aspects of the fabric production, the products we manufacture ourselves and those we have made especially for us….without contamination from outside sources.

Our mattresses, quilts and pillows are the only ones available in Australia which are filled with Australian Grown Organic Cotton and comply with very strict organic specifications.

About The Packaging Materials We Use

 

An Organature mattress or futon is first packed in a handy draw string bag made specially from our organic cotton fabric and then meticulously wrapped in multi layers plastic for transport.

Mattress and futon of all sizes (including Cot mattresses and futons for babies) are first packed in an Organic Cotton bag, then placed into a carton for sending by post. This gives extra protection between the mattresses and the outer wrapping.

Organature bedlinen products are packed in cellophane, NOT plastic or plastic that looks like cellophane. Quilts pillows and mattresses are packed in bags made from our organic cotton Aus-Satin Poplin, ideal to be used for storage.

Organic cotton and cellophane are both natural materials, they are bio-degradable, and when used or worn out, can go into your compost.

Why Do We Go To So Much Trouble Packaging Our Organic Goods?

 

…because we care that you receive your new mattress, bedding, futon, sheets, pillows, towels, clothes, baby products, blankets, rugs or any other organic products we sell, in the best possible condition.

Organature offer the BEST ORGANIC QUALITY and at a very REASONABLE PRICE.

We hope our products will improve the quality of your life.

Who Cares? Our Experience With MCS

The past two to three years has seen expediential growth in the organics industry, growth that has seen “band-wagon jumpers” try to sell you product without truly caring about the principles behind the organic movement.

Who can you trust to tell the truth?

 

Organature’s founder, Peter Byl has spent the last 15 years researching ways to alleviate the symptoms of the chronic and increasingly common disability known as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).

Peter-Byl from Organature

When he was first diagnosed with this debilitating affliction there was very little known and even less help available for these people, and it became his mission during the years of enforced isolation to learn all he could to improve not only his own life style but also that of others enduring the same allergic and sensitivity difficulties.

Peter read numerous books (after they had been “off-gassed” outside for days and sometimes weeks) and learned how to improve the air quality inside his home and especially to create a “retreat”, somewhere he could go and know the air was as pure as he could possibly make it.

Although he made a few mistakes on the way, moving house twice, this was part of the learning experience.

He soon found that not only the building materials used in modern homes but also the furniture and particularly soft furnishings were amongst the worst contributors to his symptoms. He struck lucky finding an old un-renovated home in South Gippsland, away from a closely populated area and at the end of a no through road, with no passing traffic.

This is where his past life and skills as a builder/renovator came in and with an increasing number of “feel a bit better today” days he was able to renovate his old country cottage, using only organic and healthy materials with particular emphasis on an organic cotton bedroom.

As a chemical sensitivity or asthma sufferer, it is vital to get your rest without the effects of chemicals. Avoiding the traditional bedding products including sheets, pillows and bed linen (which are often treated with potentially allergy causing chemicals), is really important in helping you FEEL BETTER.

The result has meant that using the expertise from many years in the bedding and textile industry, he was able to begin the new and successful venture, creating and producing “Organature” Organic Cotton bedding and bedlinen from home.

Sleeping in a healthy bedroom is the BEST way for the body to recuperate after exposure to chemicals in normal daily life.

While it is important to recognise that so far there is no “cure” for MCS, learning what it is and avoiding harmful chemical substances CAN make a world of difference.

Spare a thought also for the partners and family of the chemically affected person. The necessary lifestyle changes affect them also and it takes a great deal of patience and understanding to help the person you most care about on the road to healing.

Who cares? ….. We Care!

Why Choose An Organic Cotton Mattress?

NATURAL FIBRE – Cotton is a natural fibre that resonates harmoniously with our bodies. The same cannot be said for latex, foam and other synthetic fabrics. When we surround ourselves with organic cotton, we function, and sleep, at our optimum.

The-Only-Australian-Organic-Cotton-Mattress

CHEMICAL FREE – Conventional Cotton has been saturated with chemicals. These chemicals are poisonous to the human system and many of them are activiated to outgas by bodily heat.

NO FIRE RETARDANTS – Conventional mattresses are made from synthetic materials which may be protected against fire by a range of substances such as formaldehyde – a known carcinogen. Organic Cotton Mattresses do NOT contain these chemicals.

NATURAL ODOUR – Conventional synthetic and non-organic cotton mattresses give off an odour. This is the odour of synthetic chemicals – just as you will find in new cars and carpet. While this odour subsides over a period of time, it never completely goes away. These chemicals when heated by our body, cause the chemical to outgas, which we inhale. Organic cotton has a very subtle, natural odour which is completely harmless and subsides quickly.

HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS – Matter is energy. Petrochemical materials and conventional cotton with a mindset geared to profit, without care for environment and our health. The growing and processing of Organic Cotton requires care and a life-honouring approach at every step.

Cot-innerspring-mattress

HYPO-ALLERGENIC – Organic Cotton is neutral and ideal for those with Allergies, Chemical Sensitivities and Asthmatic tendencies.

THEY BREATHE – Organic cotton mattresses have excellent wicking qualities, absorbing moisture at night and disssipating it by day, which is aided by the air circulation through the springs.

GIVE YOUR FAMILY A BETTER NIGHTS SLEEP – The health benefits that people feel once they have decided to ‘go organic’ are usually very noticeable. When combined with an organic cotton mattress protector, attractive and stylish natural organic cotton bed linen, fluffy organic cotton pillows, a warm organic quilt and a soft cotton blanket or rug, the chances of feeling noticeable health benefits are even higher … babies tend to sleep better, children tend to sleep soundly, allergy sufferers tend to wake feeling better, and you’ll tend to have a good sleep too.
