About us

Welcome to Comfort on the Spectrum!

I’m Kelly, a Melbourne-based mum of four and the creator of this brand, inspired by my journey as a parent navigating disability & sensory challenges.

Like so many parents, I’ve experienced the frustration of trying to find the right clothing that my son Max, who is blind/autistic, could tolerate. His sensitivities to textures, tags, zippers, and seams made getting dressed a daily challenge. As he grew, finding suitable options became nearly impossible—leaving us with ripped clothes, meltdowns, and endless searches for something he could comfortably wear. More than anything I wanted him to feel comfortable, especially at home - his happy place! 

After doing some research, I realized that our experience wasn’t unique & heaps of families were struggling to find a “unicorn” - good quality, fun, affordable & “real” sensory-friendly clothing ~ So in 2020 Comfort on the Spectrum was born, with a mission to make dressing easier, happier, and less stressful for everyone, regardless of age, gender or sensitivity. 

From the start, I committed to doing things differently. I’m not into “hustle culture” (there are better things to focus on!), and I care deeply about the planet. A brand that contributes to waste and over-saturation was never going to work for me. That’s why we only source ethical, sustainable fabrics and focus on creating a dependable comfort range—not fast fashion. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to last, using soft, breathable materials with no tags, zippers, buttons, or plastics. We also run seasonal collections to help reduce overstocking and waste.

We understand that every person is unique, and their needs can evolve over time. Our brand has grown organically, driven by the requests and needs of our amazing customers seeking products that support their sensory journeys. While this brand is deeply personal to me, it’s never been just about me—it’s about you. I truly value your suggestions and feedback, and many of our new products have been developed directly from your needs, as long as they align with our core values.

Looking back on this journey, I can hardly believe how far we’ve come. It’s a testament to our values, our incredible team, and this wonderful community. Thank you for being a part of it. Your support truly means the world to us, and we’d love to hear from you—please feel free to reach out anytime!

 

With love,

Kelly
