Our fibre

One fabric has been putting people to sleep for a thousand years.

Muslin is cotton woven the old way: loose, open, and layered instead of dense. Everything we make is woven from it, and nothing else. Here's why we bet the whole company on one fabric.

What is muslin

A weave that's mostly air

Hold muslin up to a window and you'll see light through it. That's not thinness. It's the point. The plain, open weave leaves thousands of tiny gaps between threads, and when you layer it, each layer traps a band of still air.

Still air is what actually keeps you warm. It's how doonas work too. The difference is that muslin's gaps keep the air moving slowly through, so heat that builds up can leave. A doona holds everything in; muslin holds just enough.

Five things it does

Why we make bedding from nothing else

One fabric, five jobs. Everything below comes from the weave itself, not a treatment, not a coating.

“Not too heavy, not too light, it really is just right.”

– Verified Buyer
01 It breathes while you sleep The open weave lets warm, humid air escape instead of sealing it against you. That's the difference between staying comfortably warm and waking up at 2am to kick everything off.
02 It regulates, not insulates Layers of trapped air warm up when you're cool and let heat through when you're not. One blanket does the work of a summer quilt and a winter doona, and two people with different thermostats can share it.
03 It gets softer, not older Most bedding is at its best in the packet. Muslin is the opposite: every wash relaxes the weave a little more. Buyers tell us the softness is what surprises them most, and it keeps improving for years.
04 Nothing synthetic, nothing added 100% natural muslin cotton, hypoallergenic, and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 tested for harmful substances. No polyester fill, no coatings, no "cooling" treatment that washes out by winter.
05 It's light where it counts Warmth without bulk. Our 8-layer blanket gives what customers describe as the weight of a hug without the heat: substantial enough to settle you, light enough to move under.
How it's made

From cotton to your bed, without shortcuts

The whole process is deliberately simple. No fill, no lining, no finishing spray to fake a soft handle. What arrives at your door is cotton, weave and stitching. That's the entire list.

STEP 01
Spun fine

We start with 100% natural cotton, spun into a fine, even yarn, the only raw material in every product we make.

STEP 02
Woven open

The yarn is woven in a loose plain weave, leaving the thousands of tiny gaps that make muslin breathe, then coloured with non-toxic dyes. Density is the enemy here.

STEP 03
Layered by hand-count

Sheets of muslin are stacked, two layers for sheets and cases, eight or twelve for blankets, then stitched so each layer holds its own band of air.

STEP 04
Washed & tested

Every piece is pre-washed so it arrives soft, then independently tested to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. No finishing sprays, no shortcuts to a soft handle.

Honestly made. Our bedding is woven in an OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified facility, where every batch is independently tested for harmful substances, and ships to you from our warehouse in Sydney.

Every bedding fabric makes a trade. Muslin makes the fewest.

TL;DR

Every fabric trades something away. Poly-blends trade breathability for price. Dense cotton trades airflow for a crisp finish. Muslin trades the ironed-flat look, and we think that's the easiest trade on the list.
