Information provided by various external sources

Novadown, New Zealand’s leading manufacturer of European inspired duvets and pillows, was founded in the 1980’s in Auckland, New Zealand. From the beginning, Novadown made it its mission to offer down and feather bedding products of the highest quality. In 2001 Novadown was purchased by Ellis Fibre, one of New Zealand’s most innovative bedding companies and the founder of the famous Ellis Fibre Original Lavender pillow, and was relocated to Dunedin on New Zealand’s beautiful South Island. The company’s focus on luxury and comfort was emphasized even more when Novadown introduced the most luxurious of all downs – the Hungarian goose down - to the New Zealand market. Encouraged by the success of its Hungarian goose down pillows and duvets, Novadown went out to find other unique and exceptional materials that would offer their customers the ultimate sleeping experience. As a result, Novadown now also offers bedding products made from Alpaca, Bamboo, as well as Down Alternative for especially sensitive people. The care and pride Novadown puts into the creation of its products ensures you have a great sleep – night after night!

Wonderfully light duvet.

I was delighted to receive my Alpaca All Seasons Duvet just as the hot weather hit. The 20% duvet is wonderful for summer. It is really light and very comfortable. My only concern was about the length of time it took to arrive. I ordered it in the middle of October and it arrived at the end of November. Because they are made to order and the site says it takes 10 days, that is what I expected to happen. I understand that when lots of orders come in, the waiting time is longer. Perhaps you could manage your customers' expectations better.

The Bamboo pillow is perfect

The Bamboo pillow is perfect, and exactly what I was looking for - soft but also supportive for sleeping on both back and side. Fast delivery too.

I was really happy with the pet beds I ordered as good quality and my dog and cat love them. I also ordered a duvet afterwards but unfortunately it never arrived, which seems to be an issue with the courier used and the package signed for by someone allegedly on my property at the time of delivery. Novadown have been helpful with responses but ultimately I am not entitled to a replacement or refund from them due to the terms and conditions (which is understandable as it's not their fault). I won't use again because of this.

Before and after

Before and after
I made some enquiries about my duvet because I hadn't packed it very securely when I sent it by post. Enquiries were answered promptly and efficiently and I got the answers I needed.
The duvet was returned promptly and the recasing was very well done. I like the domes rather than the buttons I had previously to join the two duvets together.
The duvet is warm and restored to original condition. Thanks so much.

In love with Dr Duvet!

Really helpful, recommended their Dr Duvet service which saved me hundreds of dollars. This service was great - tailor re-made our old duvet from a queen to a king size, adding in a small amount of down but . not too much. Its now perfect, and as good as new.

Absolutely thrilled with Novadown duvets (both winter and summer) So light, so warm and cosy. So easy for an invalid to handle. Excellent service and brilliant communication-thankyou.
As an update this company has gone into liquidation and I need to use my 5yr warranty and can't.

I researched a few different companies and committed to supporting New Zealand made and I'm really happy with my choice. After looking into a few local brands from 'reputable' retailers, I learned that some NZ companies promote themselves as a New Zealand brand but still have their products made overseas. I liked that Novadown made to order in Dunedin, buying NZ made was really important to me. I purchased the hungarian goose down four seasons duvet, which is fantastic. Really pleased with the quality - one star taken off for the delay, although they did explain it was due to a delay with a supplier, and they offered a free pillow for the inconvenience. Other than that, really happy with the service and product.

Hi Karen, thanks for your review. As you can see on our website, our products mention an expected production time as part of the product description. We have made this as clear as possible for each of our products so the customer can have a good idea of how long it will take for their items to be shipped. I can tell you that production on your order was completed late yesterday, and the item is packed to be dispatched this afternoon, at which point you will receive the tracking information. Kind regards, Novadown.
