Silent Partner Aria Medium Review
The Silent Partner Aria Medium is a first class mattress that is beautifully balanced with comfort and support. It comes with a 90 day comfort guarantee which means that you can swap your mattress if you are not satisfied.
Purchase and delivery
This mattress can be ordered online through the Forty Winks website. It can also be purchased through any of Forty Winks’ stores across Australia.
Delivery is available Australia-wide but delivery fees (and times) do vary. Online delivery fees are based on your location from the nearest store, and delivery times will depend on stock availability. For more details, see our ‘Delivery’ section below.
Aesthetically, the Silent Partner Aria Medium presents with a modern and luxurious style. It uses a grey and white colour theme along with a brand name label at its base.
Comfort and support
The top comfort layer of this mattress uses a micro Tencel fabric that feels durable and breathable. This cover sits over a layer of gel infused visco memory foam and a layer of gel infused latex.
This comfort layer offers an abundance of pressure relief, and absorbs body weight smoothly. The mattress should suit all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers) but this suitability will vary between individuals.
We rated the Silent Partner Aria Medium as a ‘medium-firm’ feel and an 7 / 10 on the firmness scale. Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort. Furthermore, our firmness ratings are assigned based on Bedbuyer’s testing process and these may differ from firmness ratings given by individual companies.
The support structure used in the Silent Partner Aria Medium is a 10 zone nested high/low pocket spring system. This spring system feels stable, robust, and offers excellent spinal support. It should also accommodate people of all sizes.
The Silent Partner Aria Medium responds well to normal sleep movements and we rated its level of responsiveness in the optimal zone. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) shouldn’t be any trouble.
Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses.
The finer details
In terms of build quality and craftsmanship, the Silent Partner Aria Medium is outstanding. Its finishings are first class and side handles should make it easy to transport and rotate the mattress.
Thanks to its ‘motion deflection barrier’, partner disturbance shouldn’t be significant. This will depend though on the size of the occupants of the bed.
As mentioned earlier, this mattress comes with a 90 day comfort guarantee. This means that if you are not satisfied with your mattress, you can swap it for the same/similar product (of a different firmness).
The Silent Partner Aria Plush also comes with a 10 year warranty to cover any obvious defects.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Silent Partner Aria Medium to be used with a solid bed frame (such as the Chiropedic Bed Base), or a solid ensemble base (with the slats no longer than 8 cm apart).
A bed frame (with flexible slats) may still be adequate, but again, we strongly recommend that the distance between each slat is less than 8 cm. Use of an unsupportive mattress foundation will usually void the mattress warranty.
Furthermore, we do not recommend the Silent Partner Aria Medium to be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base as this will also void the warranty. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.
It’s worth noting here that mattress firmness, performance, and durability will vary with different bed bases.
Available sizes
The Silent Partner Aria Medium is available in 6 sizes (super king, king, queen, double, king single, and single) so it should suit all sleeping arrangements.

Final verdict
The Silent Partner Aria Medium is an outstanding mattress that uses premium comfort layers and a reliable spring system. Its 90 day comfort guarantee also gives you plenty of peace of mind.
