Ecodownunder is a family run Australian owned business since 1997.
We believe we all have a responsibility to look after the natural environment for future generations. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
Our products do not contain:
We decided that we had to do better. "Reduce, recycle, reuse" and beach cleans were good but.....it was obvious to us then that any meaningful change had to come from businesses by eliminating the source of the problem.
The idea for ecodownunder was born way back then in 1997
At Ecodownunder we skip the middleman and work directly with our suppliers in both Australia and India.
We do not have expensive overheads and this enables us to sell our products at a fair price, so that everyone can afford sustainable organic and eco friendly natural alternatives.
Please compare our products with other Retailers and see the difference for yourself.

We have provided some tips to help prolong the life of your eco products.
Proper sorting of your washing is essential, washing like colours and fabrics together is key.
We do not recommend the use of Fabric Softeners as this puts a film on the products and make them less absorbent.
Most new towels will shed a little excess lint at first. A few initial washes will eliminate this problem and leave your towels ready for use.
If you cannot line dry your towels, do not use a hot setting on you dryer as this will overheat the cotton fibres and cause them to break down, creating excess linting. Instead use a warm dryer.
Yes we sell Organic Cotton Bath and Beach Towels and have a few ranges to choose from, depending what suits you.
To review our range, click on this link Luxury Organic Cotton Towels
Our Best selling sheets are our Signature Eco Cotton Sheets
The most comfortable sheets are those that are made from 100% natural fibres.
Choosing the best bed sheets is a matter of personal preference and depends upon how you like your sheets to feel against your skin.
We have developed an extensive range of bed sheets to ensure we have sheets you will love to sleep in, this includes Organic Cotton, Linen, Hemp, Cashmere, 1000 thread count, Egytpian Cotton, Linen/Cotton Blend and Sateen Stripe. Click on this link to review Ecodownunder Sheets
Sheets are generally sold in sheet sets in all sizes including super king and king single sheets. Linen sheets are available as individual fitted and flat sheets. This allows the opportunity to use your creative flare to style your own combination, by mixing and matching colours which are designed to complement one another.
Ecodownunder White Eco Cotton Sheets are available to purchase as individual Fitted Sheets or Flat Sheets that include king single, long single bedding, super king fitted sheets and in queen and king size fitted sheets. We offer a choice of a 37cm wall or for those who have a deeper mattress, a 50 cm wall.
The Thread Count refers to the number of actual threads per square inch of fabric. This is calculated by counting the number of horizontal threads and the number of vertical threads which make up the weave of the fabric.
However, the best way to determine if the sheets are right for you is to feel them, rather than depending on thread count.
Yes, we sell Queen and King deep wall sheets.
Queen Deep Wall - has a 50cm depth or wall and is suited to a deep Queen mattress (40-50cm)
King Deep Wall - has a 50cm depth or wall and is suited to a deep King mattress (40-50cm)
Discoloured patches are usually caused by bleaching/whitening products or other harsh chemcials. The products usually come into contact with these products accidently.
Many products contain agents and chemicals that can take the colour out of natural fibres, leaving discoloured patches or spots on sheets or towels. In some cases the patches do not appear until after washing.
The colour of the patches may vary depending on the colour of the product (i.e. white patches will appear on blue towels, yellow/orange patches will appear on grey towels - see examples below).
Some of the culprits that cause these discoloured patches include:
Bleach marks appear white on blue coloured towels :
Bleach marks appear an orange or reddish colour on grey towels:
We DO NOT recommend using any fabric softeners on your towels.
Fabric softeners leave a coating on towels, which reduces its absorbency.
We suggest that instead of using fabric softener, you can halve the washing powder/detergent and add two tablespoons of white wine vinegar to the wash.
At times snags or pulls appear on towels. A snag is caused by a sharp object. To fix this, you can use a sharp pair of scissors to snip the snag to the level of pile. This will not impact on the use of the towel, nor will it unravel.
Yes they are cotton seeds. As we use only natural cotton fill in our mattress protectors, from time to time, small cotton seeds may be caught in the cotton fibre and become visible when washed.
These are all natural and do not effect the use of the mattress protector.
We do not use blankets or TOG ratings to determine how warm a quilt is. There are many variables and the blankets can be made from cotton, wool, polyester etc.. and all have different weights and warmth ratings.
This is because the warmth of a quilt will depend on:
how warm your house/room is
how hot/cold do you get
do you have aircon in your house/room
does your bedroom face north or south
Our quits are designed in Australia for our seasons.
If you live in a cold climate in southern parts of Australia, then you should consider an all seasons or winter quilt.
If you live in a warm climate in northern parts of Australia, then you should consider a lighter summer or all seasons quilt.
Toitū enviromark gold is the second step in the Environmental Management System journey in New Zealand. An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a planned approach to managing environmental impacts. The "Toitū enviromark" programme mentors organisations to develop, implement and maintain an EMS and verifies their work.
In short the answer is no unless you want to risk damaging your product as the agitation on the washing machine can still cause natural fibres to interlock.
Our Linen is 165 GSM
The most comfortable sheets are those that are made from 100% natural fibres.

The Japara Cotton used does NOT contain any wax - bees wax or paraffin wax.
Our Makers use a tightly woven weave that is pure cotton to ensure that no cotton or wool leaches from the quilt. This is still referred to as Japara Cotton.
Ecodownunder down and feather bedding is ethically sourced and is made from a by product of the Australian food industry. No farms raise birds purely for their feathers. The down and feather would become a waste material if not used for bedding and clothing. By using a waste product from the food industry, it avoids the manufacture of synthetic materials which have a higher carbon footprint.
Yes, all the wool that is used in the making of our quilts ‘mulesing free’.
Sleep is incredibly important, and you need a quality quilt that is comfortable and warm and made from natural fibres …. Mother Nature is hard to beat.
Quilts made from all natural fibres are durable and last longer than those with synthetic fillings. They excel in keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, with the natural fibres helping your skin to breathe as you sleep.
Some factors to consider when purchasing a quilt:
Which Quilts are the warmest?
Which Quilts are the coolest?

Yes we sell Super King Sheets in both eco cotton and organic cotton. Or you can buy white individual fitted or flat sheets.
Yes we have a great range of Super King Quilt Covers online.
The wool we use in our Australian made quilts is a “downs” type of wool, from Poll Dorset sheep, renowned for its density and springiness. It’s grown in Australia and prepared using processes that are approved by Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This means we are assured that our wool quilts do not contain allergenic or carcinogenic dye, have been tested for and are free of pesticides, chlorinated phenols and formaldehydes. The certification applies to the finished product which includes the cotton fabric covering the wool.
After the fleece has been sheared from the sheep, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned before it can be used to make bedding. This process is called scouring and removes the impurities, the minerals, some of the grease and the organic matter from the wool. The fleece goes through 3-4 washes but harmful chemicals are not used allowing the wool quilts to be certified by Oeko-Tex Standard 100. After the scouring, the wool is then returned to the factory where it is sent through the wool opener and hopper machines, where the wool fibres are opened up and aired, and then layered to create thickness and loft.
We recommend you air your quilt regularly and do not recommend machine washing. Spot clean marks with an ecofriendly stain remover such as Tuffy Natural Stain Remover.
We recommend you air your quilt regularly and follow the care instructions on the quilt as we offer both Machine Washable Wool Quilts and non Machine Washable Wool Quilts. You can also spot clean marks with an ecofriendly stain remover such as Tuffy Natural Stain Remover.

Yes we do sell Hungarian Goose Down Quilts.
We have available:
The super soft and fine Hungarian Goose Down imported from Hungary (the Worlds premium suppliers) and made up into quilts in Australia.
Hungarian goose down is considered the best quality down and provides great insulation, and is lightweight and comfortable.
Linen is a textile created from the flax plant which is an extremely durable plant used for many products because it can handle a lot of wear and tear.
Linen can be washed and worn and washed again and again. With each wash linen will become softer and more comfortable.
Sometimes you do not want to wait for your linen to soften, so there are few things that you can do to speed up this process.
Do not use any fabric softeners, these may prevent the linen from softening on its own. Use Baking Soda - when it comes to making linen feel softer, baking soda has been successful. It has a pH of 9 that helps regulate the pH balance of water, in turn helping to make natural fabrics feel softer.
Yes, we recommend that you alway give a duck down quilt a good airing prior to use. Sometimes there may be slight, natural feather smell, that will dissipate when aired.
Wool has the highest natural fire resistance of any fibre and therefore is less likely to ignite. If the wool fibre does burn, it does not melt or drip and can self-extinguish.
We do not add any fire retardants to our wool products.
The wool is sourced in Australia from ethical farms with the best animal husbandry practices in place.
All the wool that is used in the making of our wool quilts is ‘mulesing free’, and the sheep are only shorn once per year.

We use Azo-Free dyes that meet the highest standards of quality and safety, being free from any compounds that could be toxic or allergenic to humans or the environment. These dyes are also bio-degradable and eco-friendly, meaning they break down naturally in water.
Azo dyes are commonly used in the textile industry and have been linked to potential health risks and environmental concerns. However, we believe that it is our responsibility to minimise these risks and ensure that our products are safe for everyone who comes into contact with them.
We use 100% cotton japara for all our quilt covers. This is a tighly woven cotton fabric that stops the quilt fill bleeding or leaching out.
We understand that you may have noticed that some of our competitors use TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) ratings to describe their quilts and doonas.
However, we would like to clarify that we do not use TOG ratings for our products. The reason for this is that TOG ratings are primarily designed for blankets and sleeping bags, which are made from a specific type of fabric with a consistent weight and thickness.
Quilts and doonas, on the other hand, can be made from a wide range of fabrics with varying weights, thicknesses, and textures.
As a result, it's challenging to accurately assign a TOG rating to a quilt or doona that may feature different fillings or fabrics. Instead, we focus on providing detailed descriptions of our products' materials, construction, and intended use to help you make a more informed choice.
We sell a standard size fitted cot sheet that is 135 x 75 x 19cm. The next size would be a single fitted sheet that is 91 x 190 x 37cm.
Our organic cotton sheets have a more crisper feel than our sateen sheets. We use a thicker yarn in the production of the sheeting, which gives a more crisper feel.
SOrry for the confusion, yes you can still use your Voucher. Our vouchers do not expire.
The prices for our Quilts vary depending on size and type of quilt. If unsure, please email us at Service@ecodownunde.com.au
