About Tontine

Tontine is an absolute institution in the Australian bedding market. With manufacturing roots tracing all the way back to 1870, it is arguably the most recognizable name in Australian bedrooms. While they produce an expansive range of mattress toppers and protectors, they are overwhelmingly famous for their pillows and quilts. In fact, Tontine is the official owner of the trademarked word "Doona," which has become the ubiquitous, genericized term Australians use for a duvet or quilt.

Now owned by the John Cotton Group, Tontine manufactures millions of pillows a year out of their Melbourne facility, providing everything from budget-friendly synthetic fills to premium Golden Plains Australian Wool and advanced memory foam.

Mission, Vision & Innovation

Tontine's mission is to "help people across Australia enjoy the best possible sleep." Their vision is to combine their century of manufacturing heritage with modern, sustainable sleep technologies. A defining innovation that made Tontine a household name is their iconic Pillow Date Stamp. Recognizing that old pillows harbor dead skin, dust mites, and bacteria, Tontine began printing a "use by" date stamp directly on the tag of their pillows to remind Australians exactly when it is time to throw them out and replace them.

Technologically, they lead the market in hygiene with their Bioguard™ Treatment, which actively inhibits the growth of mould, bacteria, and dust mites. For temperature regulation, they utilize HydroCool® evaporative moisture management technology in their Comfortech range, which wicks sweat away from the body to keep the sleeper dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tontine an Australian brand?

Yes — Tontine is proudly Australian owned and has been manufacturing in Australia since 1956. More than 80% of Tontine products are made right here in Australia, with the manufacturing facility based in Campbellfield, Victoria. The brand has been a cornerstone of Australian bedding for over 70 years and remains one of the few major bedding brands that still produces the majority of its products domestically, supporting Australian jobs and local supply chains.

What is the Tontine Doona® and why is the name significant?

The Doona® is the original Australian quilt — trademarked by Tontine in 1972 — and has become so synonymous with bed quilts in Australia that "doona" is now used as a generic everyday term by most Australians, regardless of which brand they're referring to. The name is actually a registered trademark owned by Tontine, making it one of Australia's most successful examples of a brand name becoming a household word. Tontine's Doona® range covers all seasons and warmth levels, from lightweight summer quilts through to heavy winter options.

What types of pillows does Tontine offer?

Tontine's pillow range is one of the most comprehensive available in Australia, covering a wide variety of fill types and profiles to suit every sleeper. Options include premium polyester, memory foam, latex, and down-like fills, in soft, medium, and firm feels, across low, medium, and high profiles. Specialised options include anti-allergy, stain-resistant, European, kids, and luxury pillows. Tontine also features innovative date stamps on their pillows — a helpful reminder of when it's time to replace them for optimal hygiene and support.

How do I know when it's time to replace my Tontine pillow?

Tontine has addressed this common question directly by adding date stamps to their pillows — a simple but clever innovation that makes it easy to track how old your pillow is. As a general guideline, most pillows should be replaced every one to two years, as over time they lose their support and can accumulate allergens, dust mites, and bacteria that even regular washing can't fully address. Tontine's date stamp takes the guesswork out of this process entirely.

Does Tontine offer bedding for people with allergies?

Yes. Tontine has a dedicated anti-allergy range of pillows and quilts designed specifically for people who suffer from allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to common bedding materials. These products use hypoallergenic fills and covers that resist dust mites, mould, and other common allergens, making them a practical and comfortable choice for allergy-sensitive sleepers of all ages, including children.
