Our Story

Family-owned and operated since 1973
Big Save is proud to have a valued legacy at the heart of New Zealand's furniture and bedding industry. As a family-owned and operated business, we take pride in offering more than just great-value furniture and beds — we provide a homegrown commitment to quality, value for money, and personalised service.

Where it started
Big Save opened its first store in Paraparaumu in 1973, founded on the common-sense ideals of exceptional customer service and excellent value for money. The name reflects our promise: a ‘Big’ selection where you can always ‘Save’ heaps. Today, we continue to uphold these simple values, blending tradition with innovation to curate a beautiful collection of furniture and beds that resonates with New Zealanders.

New Zealand Proud
What sets us apart is our passion for consistently delivering New Zealanders the best-value furniture and beds — not just in New Zealand, but (we think) in the world.
Big Save is New Zealand’s largest privately owned furniture and bed retailer, with 24 stores (and an online presence) across the country. We are immensely proud that many New Zealanders have fond memories of growing up with Big Save furniture and beds in their homes. What drives us is the excitement sparked by a new piece of furniture or a bed you’ll always remember.
Best-Value Furniture and Beds
Our buyers travel across New Zealand and around the world to work with skilled craftsmen, sourcing furniture that helps everyone decorate their homes in their own unique style.
We understand that life is busy, and you shouldn’t have to wait for furniture or beds. That’s why we have three large warehouses located throughout New Zealand, stocked full of furniture and beds.
We know that having stock on hand is a crucial part of delivering a seamless and satisfying customer experience.
Committed to Our Future
Sustainability is a responsible and ethical choice for Big Save — and we believe it’s an investment in our future. We’re actively achieving this by installing solar panels on our roofs, using energy-efficient transport, and incorporating recycled materials into our furniture, beds, and packaging.
Whiteware Made Simple
At Big Save, our journey into whiteware began with one key insight from two years of research and customer feedback: confusion was the biggest barrier to buying. So, we set out to change that with one clear goal — simplicity.

At the heart of our strategy is a simplified approach that makes shopping easier for our customers. We’ve partnered with trusted brands like Beko, Panasonic, and Samsung to curate a streamlined product range that’s easy to shop, easy to understand, and easy for our team to support.
NZ's Best-Value Whiteware
With clear pricing, knowledgeable staff, and a focus on helping customers find the right fit, we’re bringing the same unbeatable value and service we’re known for in furniture and beds to whiteware — making it all simple, smart, and stress-free.
