    Thanks from Queenstown, New Zealand customers
    Bought a goosedown duvet in their little shop. The owner explained the manufacturing process and was very helpful. Product we bought is top quality. As we live in New Zealand the owner offered shipping for free, which offer we took up. It arrived promptly 10 days later in our house. As it came vacuum packed we were a bit apprehensive , but it turned out to be the same top quality product they sold us. It fits perfectly on our bed, is very light but keeps us warm. Thanks Elfenbein for this great duvet, will certainly recommend this.
    Dear Gerrith986, Thank you for your visit and your purchase! Kind regards, Tamas Szanto Elfenbein Kft.

    The human element
    It's the human element for me. The kind of service I received here, especially at this price point (comparable quality duvets are much pricier on the market), is unparalleled! Looking for a duvet to keep me warm during a Hungarian winter I walked into a small factory in the basement where you will be buzzed in. It is easy enough to find as signs outside will lead you there. What a special atmosphere walking down the steep wooden stairs to land in Elfenbein's heart of operation! Even though I arrived close to closing time, Tamas (owner of the place and fluent in English) took the time to show me the workspace and explained about their down quality and cover options. After weighing them in my hands, I opted for the Luxury Quality with 750 filling power which makes for a lightweight premium product. Tamas was so generous to give me a student discount on the duvet and an even bigger one on their luxurious Bamboo covers! Everything is handmade, so you can get custom sizes. My order was ready for pickup the next day. I felt like a princess sleeping in this set.. what a delight! And talk about attention to detail: the duvets have ties sewn on that attach to loops in the covers to prevent the insert from slipping around inside the cover! I went back the same week to order another one as a Christmas gift for a loved one. This small company is such a special find. There is only on choice for bedding and it's Elfenbein in the centre of Budapest for me. I am recommending this place in my circle and hope they won't ever run out of business!

    Must have heirloom
    Excellent value for money. Bought for us and for our son (Student) two big comforters and four big cushions. They will last a lifetime. Got tremendous service. Tried them out the same night. Never slept better. We will definitely come back with our friends to this unique basement shop which is for its quality on par with Hungarian shoes, Swiss watches and similar handmade luxury goods but at a reasonable price. We will spend a third of our life under these comforters. Can only recommend if you want the best.

    A quality Hungarian goose down comforter and pillows is much warmer and more useful than a souvenir snow globe 😉
    We went to the factory, a family owned and operated business, to purchase a beautiful Hungarian down comforter and pillows as a souvenir from our Budapest trip. Tamas was knowledgeable and helpful. The turnaround, from the time we selected and ordered to the time of picked up, was extremely fast. We purchased the top quality winter and two firm pillows for side and back sleepers. In the evening when we get into bed, my mind goes to the beautiful city of Budapest. It is light and keeps us toasty warm. It was a wonderful experience .

    Very nice shop with exquisite comforters and bedding - highly recommend!
    My wife and I were fortunate to vacation in the sublime capital of Hungary early in 2024. My wife happened to read about Elfenbein. I am glad she did. Nestled amongst the many historical buildings and world heritage sites, Elfenbein makes goose down comforters and bedding accessories. It is easy to miss unless you seek it out because Elfenbein is a small family run business. If you want the ultimate in comfort, quality and beauty for your bedding, you should seek it out. These master artisans create beautiful products with uncompromising dedication. The proprietor discussed our needs with us and helped us select the best products for us. Shipping is also a service provided. I now have the most comfortable sleep I have ever enjoyed - totally satisfied with the quality of our down comforter and accessories. Elfenbein is one of a kind; there is no other place to get this level of quality in at any price.

Well.... what an amazing place.
It was a bit of a weird place to find, a strange doorway nestled between a normal row of shops. A buzzer to get in, and a very old and well used wooden stairway down into a cellar. I know it sounds weird, but it had a smell of tradition and quality about it. You instantly understood the history of the place.

The family who run this company are truly passionate about what they produce, and their family history... they spent ages with me, explaining the different downs, the benefits of each pillow construction and they even got me to lay my head on them to assess the perfect pillow for me. They then made my perfect Hungarian goose down pillow! right then and there, they even let me film the whole process. I ended up getting pillows for the whole family and even some for friends, as they were also very well priced.

You cannot come to Budapest without visiting here, they have a wall of photos of all the film stars and famous people who visit and buy from them.
They are so humble and so friendly. I left feeling I had found friends who I could contact whenever I need bedding, and I know they will understand EXACTLY what I want. They will even ship it free to my home in the UK.

Thank you so much for such a great experience.
Five stars all day long !!!!

Because we loved their pillows and our experience at this modest store, we ordered additional products by email and asked our friend who happen to be in Budapest to pick them up.

They were very patient with us. Although we took 4 months to pick up the goods, we had pleasant and clear communication and pick up experience... we cannot ask for more delight than this.

Besides the pillows, their duvet and bamboo sheets are of exceptional quality. We discovered another level of comfort in our bedroom.

👉🏻We highly recommend this store, service and products to anyone who is interested in high quality duvet, pillows, sheets and human-centered service.

We hope to visit the store again. We support this business thrive for another 300 years 🙌🏻!

This is what happened - you be the judge.

I was expecting to travel to Budapest and, having read all the excellent reviews of Elfenbein, made contact with Tamas - and he is charming indeed.
In Budapest I once again contacted Tamas to proceed with the order. He said he could deliver a quilt and 2 pillows to my hotel as requested, but asked me to leave almost 700 euro (AUD $1120) IN CASH at the front desk for payment on delivery.
When I requested payment by credit card the price increased.

I make no comment. Make of this what you will.

Dear coco060, I'm really sorry that we did not do business, and we can not meet personally while you were here in Budapest. I think this was a misunderstanding between us. In our chat I wrote to you, that you can pay with your credit card in our workshop (unfortunately our POS terminal is not mobile), and I mentioned that our webshop prices are not contains the VAT, so you can only see the VAT rate (depends on your country) at the end of checkout. So that was the price increase you mentioned that you have to pay the Hungarian tax (27%) if you purchase locally. Because of the terrible Hungarian VAT refund policy I offered free shipping to Australia, and in this case you do not have to pay the 27% Tax because the product leaves the EU. I still stand by the offer and I will gladly send your order to Australia for 600 EUR which was my original discounted offer for you. Please let me know if I can help with anything else. Kind regards, Tamas Szanto

This place is UNREAL in the best way! The quality of work and the quality of people are unparalleled! Our friend who lives in Budapest suggested she had her comforters made there. We wanted to see what a family owned factory in Budapest looked like so we stopped in.

We were not looking for a comforter but after looking at the factory and the quality of materials we left with a King Goose Down Comforter, Royal quality 850 fill made for all year weather. We also got a mermaid pillow for our son! We was lucky enough to be able to fill it himself.

Once the comforter was completed we were invited to look at it, inspect it and ensure if was as we agreed. From there, Tamas packed it up for us and vacuum compressed it, so it fit into my carry on luggage. The care and detail Tamas and family put into their work is an outcome that truly depicts a labour of love.

The Customer Service at Elfenbein Comforters is exceptional.

If you are in Budapest this place is a must see. Get yourself a new comforter - you will not be disappointed!

From the moment I walked in to Tomasz family business I felt welcomed. A unique and memorable experience, seeing the down and touching it, truely exceptional. Beautifully, handmade duvets that are so light they can fit in your hand luggage (my only concern prior to buying them, was how would I get them home). Tomasz had the answer, vacuum packed bag, that fit in my Ryan Air backpack.
Well worth the money for these all natural, light, and extremely warm down duvet. Thank you

On a recommendation we stopped into Elfenbein for a unique souvenir! We had king size pillows custom made to our desired comfort right before our very eyes. This family run business is simply amazing. Our pillows were stuffed, stitched up, vacuum sealed and shipped that day and arrived to our home in the US a few days later.

Couldn’t be happier.

Excellent customer service, friendly, professional.

Make sure you get your pillows or comforter, you won’t regret it!
