Every night when my 5 year old daughter went to bed she became congested and a nagging cough started. I bought her the soft asthma and anti-allergy pillow and I am amazed that from the first night s... See more

I must just have a quick rave about my wonderful mattress topper from Novadown - it is so comfortable - like sleeping on a cloud. I have really noticed an improvement in my sleep quality since I bega... See more

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!

Great Pillow

Had issues with time it took to make/ship my product. But the company handled it very well, was issue with external supplier.

Very happy with quality of pillow. Have been using the same one for YEARS!

Have always wanted the perfect duvet…

Have always wanted the perfect duvet inner and a 95% hungarian goose down seemed to be the best choice. Wanted something that was light but warm without being too warm. Love the duvet inner. There was some delay with getting it to us, but this was recognised and sorted by the sales manager.

Took longer than I thought

Took longer than I thought. But my daughter loves it. Only one thing. Novadown sent me email on sale prices after I purchased the duvet. 500 hundred dollars cheaper. Really!lol

Personal service meant trust in this local brand

I wanted a really high-quality year-round duvet. My research led me finally to Hungarian goose down as holding the most warmth. As I was paying more for goose down luxury I needed personal reassurance that this was the right product. My phone call was handled promptly and with all the customer care I could have expected. I ordered my duvet with confidence and am happy with the outcome.

Good product but make sure you only buy…

Good product but make sure you only buy when its on special. I'm just sick of it, you buy something and a week later you find it half price. Why can they not just give their best price right from the beginning.

Poor communication

I ordered 2 pillows in Jan 2018 and finally received them late April 2018. The product itself is great but there was no communication about the delays unless I emailed Novadown and promises of email updates never appeared until I followed up. I appreciated the extra products and voucher sent with the pillows to apologise for the delays but this doesn't make up for poor communication and service.

The absolute best duvet ever

I have tried many duvet inners over the years, I did a lot of research to find the lightest, warmest quality duvet before purchasing my latest addition Novadown are five stars all the way. Quality, quality quality. So ultra light and fluffy, I still can’t believe the warmth this duvet radiates. One very important factor, this Novadown duvet has baffle boxing which is world renowned as the best construction for a down duvet and is not found in cheaper quality duvets. There was a delay in the making of the duvet, but I was kept informed and honestly my duvet was so worth the wait. Love love love , I am now Novadown’s biggest fan 😊😊

I ordered our duvet at new year...

I ordered our duvet at new year...
I received it on 22nd April...
I only had 2 emails in that time...because I asked...
Customer care and communication has been appalling. They offered pillows bamboo ones or a protector of some kind as compensation...I got vile lavender ones...not what I was offered or what I asked for.
I am just so so disappointed at the lack of customer service...if u have a supply issue own it head on in a timely and open fashion. People are less likely to give negative reviews for good customer service. Your product is great...always has been but I’m unlikely order from you again...

Hi Sarah, thank you for your honest review and the feedback you have provided. We are working on all of our systems that are in place to ensure that we don't have these sorts of issues in the future, but first and foremost making sure we don't have the supply problems again which is the ultimate reason for these problems. The Bamboo pillows was a late issue that we found, and we decided to not hold the orders up longer and send some of our popular scented pillows instead. Unfortunately it seems these pillows are not for everyone so I apologise for that, if you want to swap them we'd be happy to collect them and dispatch some bamboo pillows once they're back in stock in around 4 weeks. You also should've received a voucher code in with your package, if for some reason you did not, please email us and we will send you the details.

When there was a delay in sourcing…

When there was a delay in sourcing goose down for the pillows we ordered we were informed and as an apology for the long delay they offered us two extra bamboo pillows. When these were not available they sent two lavender pillows and a voucher for $100 off our next purchase. Much appreciated. We love our new pillows!

Your website clearly showed delivery…

Your website clearly showed delivery within 3 days. After several weeks I had to chase my online order and was told ‘sorry this one seemed to slip through the gaps’. I was understanding but did say you need to get to me within 2 dsys as they eere needed for hiuse guests coming to stay. They (pillows) turned up 3 days later. After deadline. Not hoid enough guven thecdelay was an error. Good customer service and common sense would have been wise to send by courier. I was let down and unlikely to either use agsin snd most definitely not recommend.

Hi Jenny, Thank you for your review, and letting us know about the time it took for the pillows to get to you once they were sent. We definitely accept responsibility for the intial delay, and we will be talking to our courier company about the shipping time as that's not good enough given we had contacted them before sending it to let them know it was going on their overnight service which I can see didn't happen. If you do decide to purchase from us again in the future, please email us through the website first and we will be able to offer you a discount on your next order.
