We have had this mattress for less than five years. It’s absolutely rubbish. It’s all sagged and gives us back pain. The material has also pilled. We bought from Forty Winks in Fortitude Valley. Surprised they sell it to be honest. Especially for the exorbitant price! We thought we were buying a quality product that would last more than 3/4 years. Show details

Very disappointed with this mattress. It just got harder and harder and is now like sleeping on concrete. Only two years after buying it, we cannot stand it any longer and are buying a different brand now. Complete rubbish. Show details

Do not buy this mattress. We have had it four years and have finally determined that all the back and hip pain we have been experiencing is from this mattress. Whenever we go away and sleep in other beds that are firmer and come back to our own, we are in pain the next morning. The topper has sagged and it soo soft, there is no support in the mattress whatsoever. It is absolutely rubbish. Show details

24-carat crap – Complete garbage. Lasted maybe nine months, then l started waking up with back pain. I weigh 85kg and I'm tall, so I'm not particularly hard on my mattresses. Photo supplied as evidence that this is not an old mattress, it still looks new. Tried sleeping on alternate sides of the bed, made no difference. This thing is made of cheap-to-produce foam… Read more

and pathetic, weak Chinese springs, probably costs more to ship here than it does to make.

We had another Silent Partner prior to this one (that's why we bought the Bellagio) and it lasted nine years. Now they last nine months.

Avoid like the plague, the manufacturer is laughing at you and deserves kicking down a flight of stairs. Forty Winks want 5 grand for this slab of junk, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Dream sleep – I bought the Silent Partner mattress for myself and loved it so much I bought one for my mum. The mattress is firm and has great support, with my bad back it is perfect. I’m a side and tummy sleeper and I find it very comfortable so much so that I don’t wake up through the night as I tend to do on other beds. I have the best sleeps on this and so… Read more

Good quality and good sleep – After 8 months sleeping in this bed, It is the best and comfortable mattress I have had . I'm very happy of my choice .I saw many negative reviews that I don't know why the people have problem with mattress while they could change the mattress in 90 days .

Perfect mattress – Best investment we made. We bought it during the price of a single promotion just under 2 years ago and this mattress is still supportive, continues to give us a restful sleep, and you definitely do not feel any partner movement. No sagging or indentation. Made with high quality material. It's never too hot or too cold. Highly recommend, but of… Read more

course, go in store and actually try it as different people have different preference. We both used to struggle falling asleep with lots of neck pain but once we moved to this mattress, we both have quality sleep.

Expensive mattress. Sagged terribly. Having to replace after putting up with it for ages. Going on 6 years & I can barely walk getting up in the morning. Zero spinal support after a few months. I have spinal fusions so it’s killing me! Up for a new mattress. Rubbish when its warranty is 10 years. Apparently sagging &dents where you lie are… Read more

normal?? So I’m not even going to try to deal with the company under their warranty. I can imagine what they are going to tell me. Sagging is normal? Would love some sort of compensation, though. It was a very expensive mattress. I was sure I would get longer use out of.

Worst mattress on the planet. 2 years in and we have incredible sagging, my back is pain every morning when I wake up. They claim it has a 10year warranty but when i called and I got told that sagging is normal and that its called body mapping my forty winks. Avoid like the plague!!! Biggest waste of money.

Poorly made. Even poorer warranty. Save your money – Poorly made. Even poorer warranty. Bought this a few years back from Forty winks. Was told it would suit us as it because it has a centre 'spine' to prevent disturbing the person beside you when we are sleeping. Worked well for the 1st year and it started sagging from the 'spine' towards the edge. Mattress remains firm but with the sagging,… Read more

turning towards the middle of the mattress seem like climbing up a slope. We had lodge a complaint with the manufacturer, Sleepeeze. To get the warranty process started, we had to take multiple photos with the bubble leveler to meet their criteria of sagging! Sleepeeze sent their technician out to sleep on our mattress to confirm the fault and arrange to take the mattress away for repair, the repair worked for less then a year, we put off getting the mattress looked at for another year as it was a hassle to be without a mattress during time it was at their workshop. Finally when we could not bear the issue, we contacted them to arrange for another warranty review. Lo and behold, this time even with all the photos and the bubble leveler showing sagging, the refuse to accept that there was a sagging issue with the mattress and refused of claim.

NEVER AGAIN. Please be aware that the mattress may feel nice and suit you at the shops but it is the testimony of how good a mattress is by the longevity of the mattress and the warranty that comes with it. BUYERS BEWARE. Sleepeeze will ask for payment to fix a warranty issue.

Don’t buy- worst mattress – I bought this mattress and was told this was good for my back from forty winks. They did the back assessment and this came up as one of the recommended mattress. After a month and a bit the mattress started to sink. I turned it around and the same thing happened. The mattress sinks very easily. I have used lots of mattress over the past and this… Read more

is the 1st time I have experienced this sort of issue. It’s not a cheap mattress. When I emailed the seller, they said it’s my body issue and not the mattress. I wake up with body pain. Very disappointed.

Very uncomfortable - would not recommend – Mattress is lumpy and sinks instead of supporting the spine. The surface material sticks to the body, making it hot and very hard to move around - takes a lot of effort to change position. It’s just not a comfortable mattress so it’s a struggle to relax and fall asleep, let alone getting a restful nights sleep. The mattress I ended up with feels… Read more

very different to the one I tried in the store. The 90 day comfort guarantee apparently only guarantees paperwork and a review! Buy a mattress from a manufacturer that guarantees a full refund - don’t fall for the retail sales pitch like I did! Trying a mattress in a showroom is not the same as sleeping on it overnight.

Wouldn’t buy again – For reference, I’m not an old lady having a whinge! I’m 26 and 65kg. Sleep means a lot to me as I have three children. Sleep was promised when the salesman hooked me in to this bed! Well- it’s not, and I am quite disappointed for the $3000 I spent! When I brought it home, it seemed okay! It definitely sorted my back out for a while as I had been… Read more

having problems with a crappy old mattress that had sagging. I sleep on my tummy or my back. It definitely didn’t feel as comfortable as it had done at the store, so I began sleeping on my side.

I followed the care instructions, rotating the bed every week for 4 months. I continued to do this after the four month period. I also sleep in the middle when it’s just me. There are big dips/sagging in the bed where we have been sleeping. I have been having back problems from about week 8 since I brought it home. I wake up sore and in pain. Biggest waste of money. Definitely not durable, quite saddened it’s not what I’d hoped for. I would be better off with a good ol’ spring mattress. Disappointed in the promotion, if I didn’t like it within the 60 day period (I believe it was 60 or 90 days) I can swap it for another mattress. The salesman did not mention to me that I could only swap it for another bellagio, whether it be up or down in firmness. I’d have to pay the difference if going up, and I wouldn’t get any refund by downgrading.

Save your pennies, unless you like the dips then by all means this is the bed for you.

I purchased at my local Forty Winks.

Great mattress! – Cannot feel any partner movement at all. Zero sagging or indentation. Has worn incredibly well! Hip pain from conventional mattresses is gone. It's the best mattress we've had in 30 years. Highly recommend this mattress. Show details

Was skeptical until I slept on it! – I was skeptical about this bed because of the reviews, however after finding out that they offer a 90 sleep guarantee I thought I would cut my losses and try it. The guy at Forty Winks offered me a decent deal on it too which was great!! It is honestly THE BEST mattress that I have slept on ever. It is so comfy and cozy!  Show details

DO NOT PURCHASE Worst mattress EVER!!!! – Worst decision I have EVER made. I purchased the medium mattress and woke up everyday complaining of a sore back. I have never had any back issues previously. I rang the company and Complained and they said they could change it to the plush. I paid another $500 (through Forty Winks Thomastown who were terrible to deal with) thinking I was doing… Read more

the correct thing. 6 months later I am worse off and have a severe issue with my back due to the poor quality of mattress. I have now purchased a new mattress and have felt a huge difference. I’ve learnt a lesson. Research and review everything you purchase And don’t believe sales people.

Sagging and body indentations after a few weeks – Purchased the silent partner without reading reviews - huge regret! It's the most uncomfortable mattress and created two significant body indentations where we sleep within weeks. We aren't heavy people, both weigh less than 80kg. It feels like we are sleeping in trenches, it's event difficult to roll into the middle - feels like rolling up hill!… Read more

It's been rotated regularly but the sagging has gotten worse. I've emailed the store to see if there is any compensation but we anticipate purchasing another mattress to replace it after less than 2 years with the Bellagio.

Definitely don't notice husband turning over anymore and… Read more

mattress is comfortable. It Is a lovely thick mattress that looks and feels good. Would perhaps like it to be slightly firmer hence 4 not 5 stars but overall we are happy and I would recommend this mattress.

Total waste of money. Avoid avoid avoid – We continue to search for a good reliable mattress in Australia. Being from the USA, we have been surprised at the difficulty in finding a very good mattress, readily available in the USA. Further, we find that the individual names of mattresses here are conveniently altered regularly to confuse the consumer. Anyway, we paid a few thousand dollars… Read more

for this Belaggio matress purchased from Harvey Norman. After two weeks, sent it back to AH Beard, who charged another $500 to make the mattress "firmer". When returned, no difference, since too soft after a couple weeks with sagging, and uncomfortably hot. We had the mattress removed and moved onto to yet another Australia made mattress! Still searching for a good and reliable mattress with honest reviews available. We are constantly amazed at "new" named mattresses having no reviews or 1 or 2 reviews, the source of which has to be questioned! Good luck!

Best investment ever – Best sleep ever and waking up feeling refreshed with no pain or aches. Me and my partner have always struggled to get a good night sleep but this mattress was truly the best investment we ever did. We were skeptical reading the bad reviews but glad we got the mattress anyway. The quality is undeniable. It's thick, heavy, firm but perfectly plush at all the right places. Show details

Firm and fantastic – After reading a few bad reviews about this mattress, I thought long and hard before buying it. In Forty Winks I had done the computerised bed chooser test, and the lovely sales lady had taken me to lie on all the mattresses that were listed for my firmness requirements. I chose the Bellagio, because it really did feel the best in the shop, even… Read more

though I only lay on it for a few minutes. Back at home, with our new mattress, we could not be happier. It is firm but plush and really quite dreamy. I do recommend this mattress, but do make sure that you chose the correct firmness for you needs.

The McDonalds of mattresses – It's the McDonalds of mattresses -- it seems delicious at first, but in reality it's bad for your health. My girlfriend bought the Plush version of this mattress back in January. She said she tried it in the shop and we were SUPER excited for the delivery arrival. We literally counted down the days (and it was a week late). But after the first… Read more

night of sleeping on it we both knew we had made a huge mistake. The mattress is very soft i will give it that. It's comfy to sit on. When you first lie down it is comfy for a few minutes. The problem comes with the back support. The mattress sags SO MUCH that it is actually laughable. Your hips sag into the middle of the mattress. Your body is in this weird angle the whole night. Since you are subtly falling into the middle all night, your back feels tense in the morning because it has been subtly trying to hold you up all night. Keep in mind i am a fit 31 year old man and my GF is 28. We don't have any physical issues, and the mattress gives us both an uncomfortable back in the morning.

Also, since your shoulders sag into the mattress easily, it creates this scenario where your arm looses blood flow because they are lying across an uneven surface (because your weight creates such a big dip/hole in the mattress).

Do you like watching movies on the laptop while lying down on your stomach? Forget that, unless you want to sit in a position bent like a taco for the whole movie. Your spine bends backwards too much because your hips sag so far down. Also, your elbows create these chasms in the mattress.

We were super upset that we invested so much money in it. The mattress in the store didn't seem to sag as much. Forty Winks offer an 90-day exchange with other Silent Partner models so we are waiting for a new mattress to get delivered. Wish we never invested in this brand though. Feeling very stupid for this decision. Could've used the 3 grand on something way better, like a new computer or a car. I wish we read reviews before purchasing something so expensive. The mattress retail industry is very flawed in this way, you cannot truly know how your body will react to a mattress until you actually sleep on it for a night. There's no way to truly test a mattress by just lying on it for 2 minutes in a shop with clothes on. There really needs to be more buyer protection.

Fantastic mattress – After testing many beds we kept comparing them to this bed. To me this was a sign that we really liked the Bellagio. My main concern was the reviews on this site, but I decided that I liked the feel of it so we took the risk. Everyone is always quick to write about how bad a product is but I thought I would do the opposite. This mattress is… Read more

comfortable, has great edge support and I no longer wake up with pain in my back. I find it quite interesting when people mention about beds losing shape! In my opinion, if you sleep in the one spot over and over on any mattress, just like a couch, the foam shape will change over time, it's inevitable! My opinion is that I love it and I don't regret my purchase at all! Everyone is different so trust your own instinct!

I did not expect to be writing a review like this – I purchased Bellagio Plush because it seemed the most comfortable in store. But at home things were different. Right from the start, it sagged far more than expected. I hadn’t noticed that in store at all. The mattress was still comfortable and plush and I slept really well, but after 4 months the real issue is that it may be impeding blood flow… Read more

to my legs. I had no such issue before but various aspects of discomfort are now occurring. To check, I switched to sleeping in my guest bed. The issues have gone away. I'm an athletic person, normal BMI, train regularly. I'm perplexed.

So for me, this mattress doesn't suit. Maybe it's just me, Maybe it's because I'm a side sleeper. Others may fare much better. It's certainly a quality product which I'm sure will suit many.

funny is some spot supports my back but if I move to a different spot, I lost my back support.

There is sag even though I rotate it as per the instruction.

Threw it out after a year – The mattress lost its support after a few months and sagged badly in the centre. I tried to persevere but waking up with back spasms eventually forced me to throw it out which really upset me given how expensive it was.  Show details
