Personalized organic sleep solutions, handcrafted in Ottawa for over 40 years

From custom mattresses to complete sleep systems, Obasan combines certified organic materials with decades of craftsmanship to help Canadians sleep better, naturally

“Sleep the way nature intended” is more than a motto – it’s an invitation to experience sleep differently. 

That’s because every decision Obasan makes, from the materials it uses to the way each mattress is built, is rooted in transparency, craftsmanship and respect for people and the planet. 

Founded in Ottawa in 1985, Obasan is a family-owned Canadian company that has spent more than forty years refining a simple idea: better sleep begins with better materials, thoughtfully brought together by skilled hands. Today, every one of the company’s mattresses and sleep accessories is handcrafted in its carbon-neutral Ottawa workshop using certified organic materials, and designed to become part of a fully personalized sleep system.

Globally certified, organic sleep materials

At the heart of every Obasan product are carefully selected certified organic materials. Obasan’s organic cotton, wool and latex meet the rigorous Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS). Unlike certifications that evaluate only the finished product, GOTS and GOLS verify every step of the supply chain, from responsibly grown raw materials to environmentally responsible processing and ethical labour practices. This matches Obasan’s belief that true transparency can only exist when every step of the process is held to the same rigorous standard.

Every Obasan mattress is made to order by a team of 15 skilled craftspeople, each contributing to a detailed, hands-on process that prioritizes quality over speed. The result is a mattress crafted specifically for the person who will call it their own.

A commitment to transparency and quality

The company’s commitment to transparency goes beyond environmental stewardship: Unlike permanently sealed conventional mattresses, every Obasan mattress can be unzipped, allowing you to see exactly what’s inside. This open design allows the mattress to be customized over time, with individual layers adjusted or replaced as your body, lifestyle or comfort preferences change.

Built on a foundation of transparency, every Obasan mattress features accessible layers that allow customers to see exactly what they’re sleeping on and fine-tune their comfort as their needs evolve.

Obasan’s 180-day comfort policy and guidance from its dedicated sleep specialists allows the company to work with every customer to fine-tune their sleep system until it feels just right.

Whether you visit the company’s Ottawa showroom or explore its collection online, Obasan invites you to experience sleep the way nature intended through thoughtful craftsmanship, certified organic materials and a personalized sleep system designed to support you for years to come.
