Australian Made: Why Supporting Local Bedding Manufacturers Matters

Over recent decades, consumers have seen major changes in how the products they purchase are sourced and manufactured. If we look back through history, we would find a rich tradition of goods that were created by craftspeople who utilised locally available raw materials and had great pride in what they produced. As we shifted from individual production to manufacturing, companies and workers still cared about the quality of the products they created.

Then everything changed, as many companies began to focus on maximising profits instead of caring about the quality of the goods they produced. The drive to reduce costs and make the most money possible became the overarching goal. Instead of using quality, local resources for manufacturing, it became acceptable to use inferior raw materials from overseas. Instead of relying on local craftsmanship, production was often moved off-shore so companies could pay low wages. As a result, production quality decreased dramatically and consumers could no longer count on being able to buy products that would last for years.

Look for Products That Are Made in Australia

Fortunately, you can make a difference and help support Australian craftsmanship and manufacturing when you make purchasing decisions that support the local economy. If you go online you will be able to find a pure wool quilt that is 100% Australian made and produced.

When you see the Australian Made and Owned logo, you will know you are buying a product that is considered the highest level of Australian manufacturing. Instead of purchasing an inferior product, you will be buying top quality goods.

Support Local Manufacturing in Australia

Manufacturing in Australia has seen a long period of prolonged decline. By purchasing your pure wool quilt from a local, quality manufacturer, you will be supporting an industry that is vital to Australia’s self interest.

A resurgence of Australian manufacturing is especially vital given current international tensions with China. To maintain Australian self-sufficiency, it’s critical that we have a strong local manufacturing base. Australian employment also benefits when local workers are hired to staff the local manufacturing companies.

You Will Be Supporting Australian Farmers Too

In addition to supporting Australian manufacturers, when you purchase a product that is made with 100% Australian raw materials you will be supporting Australian farmers too.

If you look for the Woolmark certified label, you will know that your doona is made from wool certified and sourced from Australian sheep farmers in South Australia and Victoria.

Innovations in Bedding Technology: What's New in Australian Bedrooms?

For some 300,000 years, recent human beings have been roaming the Earth, seeking food and sustenance and embarking on great adventures. And each and every night over those years, humans have tried to settle in and get some good sleep so they would be ready for the next day. The cycle of daily activities, expenditures of energy and then long hours of rejuvenating and restful sleep has been with humankind since our earliest days. And, just like human beings, sleep technology has been evolving over time.

These days, we don’t have to sleep in a cave and keep a fire going to keep the wild animals away while we slip off to sleep. Yet, in a way, we still retire to a far more lavishly appointed human-made cave when it’s time to rest for the night. Fortunately, the luxury touches in our bedroom and our climate control systems help make it far more comfortable to head off to dreamland. And that’s great, considering the life stresses we are sure to face in the morning when we awaken.

Enjoy the Comfort and Luxury of 100% Natural Fibre

The arrival of high speed Internet access ushered in a new world of online shopping. Best of all, it opened up a doorway that connected consumers with luxury products that could be purchased affordably over the Internet. If you want to sleep in five star hotel luxury every night, look online for a 100% wool quilt sourced and manufactured in Australia.

 Your wool quilt will help regulate your body temperature, so you can sleep deeply and avoid tossing and turning all night long.

A Mattress That Keeps You Cool

There have been significant advancements in bedding technology in recent years. One of the interesting offerings are mattresses specifically designed to keep you cool during our ever hotter Australian summers.

To make this possible, the mattress utilizes a moisture-wicking technology within one of its layers. This is then combined with a foam that includes a cooling gel. The cooling technology helps improve your sleep when the nights are hot and uncomfortable.

Bedding That Is Earth-Friendly and Sustainable

With our heightened concern for the environment and the changes that are going on with our planet, Australians are increasingly looking for products that are ethically-sourced and sustainable.

We spend about one-third of our lives in bed or sleeping. Because of this, it’s important that our bodies are able to rest on natural fibres that are earth and human friendly.
