Cot Futon Organic Cotton Mattress AUSTRALIA

Our mattresses and futons are NOT waterproofed. Water-proofing is achieved with a plasticizing or chemical treatment and as we believe that chemicals contribute to a wide range of health issues, including asthma, eczema, attention deficit and especially Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), we will not use it. However, along with our organic mattress protectors and organic mattress overlays or organic mattress protector pads, you are guaranteed to have the BEST ORGANIC WATER RESISTANT product that’s currently available in Australia today … and the safest!

No Polyurethane Foam. No Formaldehyde, No Chemical fire retardants, No Polyester, No Synthetics, No moth-proofing chemicals, No anti-dustmite chemicals, No ultra fresh chemical, No toxic Petro-chemicals.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR BABIES: Baby will not be inhaling chemicals from this PURE mattress, giving them a greater ability to develop a strong immune system, setting them up for life.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN: Children will not be inhaling chemicals from this PURE mattress, providing them with better sleeping conditions, reducing chances of developing asthma, ADHD, depression, sensitivities and eczema.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR ADULTS: You will not be inhaling chemicals from this PURE mattress, providing you with a higher quality of sleep, health, well-being and zest for life in general.

• With care they will last longer than any other mattress. (Peter has had his 100% Organic Cotton Queen mattress since 2006 and it shows no deterioration.)
• Extremely re-saleable, (especially the cot mattress).
• More than 99% compostable and recyclable.

We recommend our mattress underlay on a slat base, our  mattress protector on the mattress first, then place the fleece mattress overlay with the fleecy side facing up, on next.

If you would like more protection for the mattress – which is a great idea especially for babies or if you are concerned about other potential soiling – we suggest putting a mattress protector pad in sleeping positions, then finishing with a fitted sheet.

Mattresses should never be placed directly on to the floor. They need to breathe to avoid mould growth, common with conventional mattresses.

Our Certified Organic Cotton is a natural product that has airflow as it is a breathing product. This in turn allows your body to breathe and naturally rejuvenate itself from the toxins picked up from the environment during the day, releasing them while you sleep, which is just one of the many benefits of the Organature mattress.

It is for this reason also that we recommend the mattress be supported by a hardwood slat bed base.  These allow the mattress to get continual air flow and assist your immune system even more. See our excellent range of non toxic Hardwood Bed Bases.

Organature Mattresses and Futons are made with GOTS Certified Organic Cotton fabrics and fillings

There’s a big difference between ‘natural’, ‘organic’ and truly chemical free ‘Certified Organic’. Organature® Mattresses are unique to Australia, assembled and filled with the purest ingredients, manufactured to the highest standards and with the cleanest transporting currently available in Australia. Free from dangerous toxic chemicals like those used to create waterproofing, insect proofing and flame proofing. Health and well-being is our priority!

Regularly rotate and flip (*Note that the Latex Innerspring mattress cannot be flipped but must still be rotated) your new organic cotton innerspring or futon mattress when you first start using it. Usually, turning every few weeks within the first few months is adequate, so long as the bed base you are using is one that allows full airflow around the mattress.

Make sure that your organic cotton mattress is not placed against walls or furnishings (such as curtains or solid bed heads), as these will prevent sufficient air flowing around all sides of the mattress too. A lack of airflow will cause a build-up of condensation which will in turn create conditions that often lead to the growth of mould, especially when placed against something that is not natural or chemical free — that is why using our Hardwood Slat Bed Bases are so strongly recommended.  As many layers of carded cotton are used to create the sleeping surface, the mattress will have a rounded look until the cotton settles.  The body will flatten this cotton, and the regular rotating and flipping over, of the mattress, helps the soft cotton wadding layers to settle. If no-one sleeps in the middle area of the mattress, that middle area will not settle.

On larger mattresses, someone is advised to sleep or lie in the middle section/area of both sides of the mattress, to help the ‘middle / central’ wadding layers to settle; otherwise, the middle area will remain soft, fluffy and slightly raised.  The cotton can take a couple of weeks, to a month or more to settle (flatten), depending on the weight, and time spent on it.

Did you know that frequently present in conventional mattresses and bedding are *High Volatile Organic compounds (VOCs) like phosphorus, arsenic and antimony, and nerve toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene? Whether they be in the petroleum based,  Polyurethane foam, the petroleum and chlorine-based Vinyl or PVC used for waterproofing (a known carcinogen, let alone, one of the most environmentally unfriendly plastics used today), or the petroleum based Fire Retardants … separately or together … they make up a toxic soup that is linked to immune suppression, hormone disruption, developmental delays, learning and memory problems, behaviour changes, and cancer.
