Silent Night Onyx Medium Review
The Silent Night Onyx Medium forms the medium feel version of this award-winning mattress range available at Beds n Dreams. It is Australian made, has a sophisticated design, and offers excellent value (see prices below).
This medium version is beautifully balanced with comfort and support. The top comfort layer feels soft and light, and offers lovely pressure relief for the hips and shoulders. Our team rated it as a ‘medium / firm’ feel and a 7 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest):
The main support structure of this mattress is a robust pocket spring system, namely its 10 Zone Silentpocket™ Dual Coil System. This offers outstanding back support in all positions, and responds to sleep movements beautifully.
Overall build quality is superb. It has excellent edge support and partner disturbance is very minimal. As we alluded to, this mattress also comes in a firm, and plush version, best to try them out in-store to see what feels best. To see this mattress in ‘real life’, our video review is here:
If you’re after a modern and sophisticated mattress at a great price, the Silent Night Onyx Medium sets the standard in 2020. To read more about the Silent Night Onyx Mattress and why it won Australia’s Mattress of the Year in 2020, click here!

Hi,
Is the Onyx Medium mattress the preferred mattress for stomach sleepers?
Hi George,
Generally speaking, the Silent Night Onyx (Medium) mattress would be suitable for stomach sleepers, but we would recommend visiting a Beds n Dreams store and trying all versions (firm, medium, plush) to see what feels right for you.
The full list of Beds n Dreams stores is linked here. Which one is closest?
Keep us posted!

Hi,
I saw this was at the top of the list for hot sleepers.
Have any hot sleepers test this bed to verify if it is a cooler mattress or is it only recommended for hot sleepers based on the spec list and claimed technologies?
The reason I ask is very stupidly I purchased a very expensive mattress 3 years ago off a recommendation and it is unbearably hot. I could not get a refund and have been stuck with it since then. I have tried all the recommendations of natural fibre sheets and toppers, I’ve tried special “cooling technology” sheets and toppers. I have even purchased a very very expensive gel topper that claimed to cool, which it does for a short period of time, but then it heats up like the mattress and doesn’t dissipate the heat.
So I am doing my research and looking for a new matress and want to get it right becuase its a lot of money.
Cheers.
Hi Greco,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer and happy to help!
We have had many customers (who are hot sleepers) who have found this mattress to help with sleep temperature, but sleep temperature can be complex and is influenced by many factors (room temperature, partner, linen, mattress etc.). As much as we can recommend mattresses for hot sleepers, we can’t guarantee it will assist with sleep temperature.
Sorry to hear about your previous experience with your mattress purchase – certainly sounds frustrating. Out of interest, do you know the name/brand of the mattress?
One option that you may consider is to get a ‘mattress in a box’ where you have a ‘trial period’ (you can get a full refund/return if you aren’t satisfied). The Sleep Republic Mattress would be one to consider – our full review is linked here.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.

Hi Bedbuyer team,
Thank you for your reply and recommendation.
I will look into The sleep republic mattress further as the trial period does sound like it would suit. However, in reading reviews about other bed in the box brands there doesn’t seem to be longevity in the support they give and after a year or 2 people complain about a lot of sagging and no support. Hopefully, that is not the case for The sleep republic.
My current mattress is a MySide series 6.
I have no complaints about its support or comfort. (Its not the most comfortable bed I have slept in or the most supportive, but its not bad)
My wifes side however (The soft side) has sagged majorly.
But our number one complaint is the heat.
I know you mentioned there are lots of factors that play into mattress heat, but the only one that changed for us was the mattress. (Except when we tried to fix it with different sheets, protectors etc)
Another thing to note is even in the middle of a Melbourne winter I can take the covers off and everywhere on my body will be freezing cold, but the part of my body that is touching the mattress is roasting hot.

Hi Greco,
It’s our pleasure to assist you.
We have tested over 120 mattress in a box products so it’s hard to generalise them as a whole. Certainly some products (even some of the more popular brands) are not particularly durable or supportive over time, but that is the case with some ‘retail store’ mattresses too. Based on our testing of the Sleep Republic Mattress, we would be confident that this is well-made and durable.
Totally understand the heat issue with your MySide series 6 and sounds like the mattress is responsible for the sleep temperature problem. If it has sagged significantly, you may want to make ‘diary style’ notes with photos and look into a warranty claim. A mattress of that quality shouldn’t sag badly after 3 years.
So in terms of a new mattress, the Silent Night Onyx and Sleep Republic Mattress would still be the two most sensible options to consider at this point. The Sleep Republic Mattress has the trial period so as you said, that might be the safest way to go.
Hope that clarifies things, and would love to hear what you decide on.

Hello,
I went onto the Bed n Dreams site and the price is full RRP. Is there any way to still get the special price advertised on this site? Is it worth me contacting Bed N Dreams direct?
Cheers

That’s great to hear. I will head to the store and do that.
Thanks
Trudie
You’re welcome Trudie!
Thank you bed buyer! If I had not come across your site I would have been, as you suggested, very confused in mattresses and what to buy especially with all these boxes options now. My sleepmaker Zen finally carked it, and we went to look at the Silent Night Onyx at Bed n Dreams Jindalee Qld and we were SOLD. The sleep difference on this very high platform is amazing, Getting up feeling fitter and no more aches and pains. Quality of sleep is excellent and the temperature which was the final selling point must have for us in this mattress is fantastic. They have all three firmness options available to try out at Bed n Dreams and I felt a bit like Goldilocks. Got a Sale price as well and I urge anyone thinking about it to take the plunge… go check out the ONYX. We love it. Worthy 2020 winner and so glad we’ve got one!
Hi Lisa and Justin,

Really glad to hear you love the Silent Night Onyx Mattress – as you saw we did too 🙂
