Product Details
Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven features a Euro-top design for added plushness. In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), this mattress earned a firmness score that’s consistent with a medium-firm feel. It scored well for edge support but only average for motion isolation. It also has higher-than-average bounce, giving you a very responsive sleep surface.
At a price point of $2,899 for a queen size, Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven is priced higher than similar competitor hybrid mattress. It contains cooling features like silk fibres in the mattress cover and gel memory foam. However, it doesn’t have some features commonly found in hybrid mattresses, like zoned support to promote spinal alignment.
In comparison, competitor mattress Logan & Cove Choice comes with similar features at just about a third of the price of Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven. Featuring a cooling nanofibre mattress cover, cooling gel foam, responsive Elastex® foam, and 3-zone support, Logan & Cove also performed better for edge support and motion isolation. Plus, you’ll receive a 365-night sleep trial, 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle with your purchase—all for just $999 for a queen size.

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns
Note: As of March 2025, Silent Partner Fairhaven is no longer available for purchase at Sleep Country. The mattress may still be available through individual resellers. The following information is based on our experience at the time of purchase.
Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven is available from Sleep Country Canada. Sleep Country offers free shipping for orders over $75 to most Canadian locations, and the mattress should be on your doorstep in 3–5 business days, including dispatch and delivery time. If you live in the Canadian Territories or Newfoundland and Labrador, delivery will take 7–10 days and costs $120.
Once you receive your mattress, you have 100 nights to decide whether you want to keep it. However, Sleep Country doesn’t provide refunds for mattress returns. You can only exchange your mattress for in-store credit, and you’ll need to pay a $65 exchange fee to cover the costs of switching mattresses.
Even if you trade the mattress for a less expensive model, you still won’t get a refund. You’ll have to spend the remaining balance on furniture, accessories, or other Sleep Country products. Sleep Country also doesn’t offer home pickups for returns. This means you need to bring the mattress back to the store yourself. If you decide to exchange your Kingsdown mattress for a more expensive model, you’ll need to pay the difference in price.
In Canada, the Kingsdown mattress warranty only covers normal wear and tear. It doesn’t cover any damage caused by transportation or delivery. Kingsdown’s manufacturer warranty varies based on the mattress tag, so you’ll need to check which warranty code is on your mattress. Sleep Country also provides its own 10-year product warranty for Fairhaven.
Get Logan & Cove Choice and enjoy a 365-night trial with a 15-year warranty.

Kingsdown Mattress Construction
Sleep Country states that Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven mattress is 15″ tall. However, the version we received measures 14″ and contains 6 layers of foam and metal coils. The coil layers vary in height around the outside of the mattress and are surrounded by a 3″ sidewall of high-density foam, which could contribute to the mattress’s very good edge support score.
- Layer 1: The first layer is 0.75″ of cooling gel foam. Combined with the next foam layer, this provides 1.25″ of cooling foam.
- Layer 2: The second layer is 0.5″ of the same (or very similar) cooling gel foam as the top layer.
- Layer 3: This layer is 2″ of BluTek gel visco memory foam. Sleep Country explains this layer helps relieve pressure points.
- Layer 4: The transition layer is an additional 1″ of BlueTek gel visco memory foam.
- Layer 5: The top layer of more flexible coils is designed to be responsive to your body’s changing movements. Coils measure 3.25″ tall in the outer two rows along the edge of the mattress, and are 5.25″ in the inner section.
- Layer 6: The bottom coil layer uses stiffer, less flexible coils to support the mattress’s overall structure. These coils measure 6.25″ in the outer rows and 4.25″ in the inner section.
Fairhaven’s mattress cover comes with moisture-wicking silk fibres as one of its cooling features. Like many hybrid mattresses, the cover isn’t removable or machine-washable, and should be spot-cleaned only.
Choose Logan & Cove for a cooling hybrid mattress with three-zoned support.

MattressReviews.ca commissions licensed third-party engineers and uses public data to rate mattresses on over 40 criteria.
This allows us to accurately rate and compare the performance of the mattresses reviewed on this website. Engineer independence and operating standards help ensure their results remain unbiased, valid, and reliable.
Each mattress was evaluated using the same strict mattress testing methodology to protect the overall integrity of the results. Foam and hybrid mattress test results are scored on separate scales to ensure fair contextual performance representation as much as possible. The full report has been given the official stamp of approval from an APEGA-certified engineer operating under a strict ethical code of conduct.
Mattress testing conducted outside of this professional standard poses a greater risk of validity errors or reviewer bias.
6.4 /10
Firmness
In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven scored 6.4/10 for firmness. This places the mattress in the medium-firm category, which is suitable for all sleep styles.
(Want a slightly firmer feel? Logan & Cove Choice scored 6.9/10 for firmness and comes with three-zoned support.)

7.0 /10
Edge Support
Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven scored 7.0/10 on edge support. This is a very good score, likely due to Fairhaven’s 3″ high-density foam sidewalls and varying coil height. Edge support can help you feel supported while you sit or sleep near the edge of your bed, so you shouldn’t feel much sinking on Fairhaven.
(Want a mattress with a higher edge support score for a lower price? Consider Logan & Cove Choice and its edge support score of 7.5/10 for only $999 for a queen size.)
5.3 /10
Motion Isolation
Motion isolation is how well a mattress keeps you from feeling movements from other parts of the bed. Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven scored 5.3/10 for motion isolation, which is average for a hybrid mattress. While small movements from a partner across the bed may not be noticeable, larger movements will create noticeable motion transfer. If you sleep lightly, you may want to look for a mattress with better motion isolation.
(Need a mattress that performs better for motion isolation? Consider Logan & Cove Choice, which earned a very good motion isolation score of 7.5/10.)
6.1 /10
Bounce
Bounce in a mattress is a preference. It measures how quickly a mattress bounces back to its original shape after pressure is applied. Fairhaven scored 6.1/10 for bounce, which is above-average for a hybrid mattress. This translates to a responsive surface that makes it easier for you to shift positions or get up after lying down.
2.8 /10
Cooling Features
Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven comes with a handful of cooling features to help keep temperatures comfortable. Fairhaven earns points for its:
- Moisture-wicking silk fibres in the top cover
- Layers of gel-infused foam that allow for enhanced cooling
- Layers of pocket coils for breathability and airflow
If you want a hybrid mattress with even more cooling features, consider Logan & Cove Choice. Its top cover is designed with cooling nanofibres, breathable hollow fibre, and gel-infused foam, while its internal layers include more gel foam and individually wrapped steel pocketed coils, earning it a cooling features score of 4.4/10. These cooling features come at a much lower price of $999 for a queen size—less than half the price of Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kingsdown a good mattress?
Kingsdown is a well-known mattress brand that’s been making mattresses for over 100 years. However, Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven is priced higher than similar hybrid mattresses. It also scored average for motion isolation and comes with only an industry-average sleep trial and warranty, and it can’t be exchanged for a full refund.
We think you may want to explore a mattress like Logan & Cove Choice. At just $999 for a queen size, Logan & Cove has a plush cover with cooling nanofibres, hollow fibre fill, and cooling gel foam. It also has zoned support and comes with a 365-night sleep trial, 15-year warranty, and the option to return the mattress for a full refund.
What does the Kingsdown warranty cover?
Depending on the mattress you buy and the warranty code tag it has, you could get anywhere from 1 year to 20 years of manufacturer coverage, with 1–10 years of no-charge repair or replacement. Some codes include charges for repair or replacement after the no-charge period ends.
Sleep Country also offers a 10-year warranty. You can extend this warranty coverage for an added fee.
Is the Kingsdown mattress cover machine washable?
The Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven mattress is spot-clean only. This is a Euro-top mattress, which means the cover doesn’t come off and isn’t machine washable.
Does the Kingsdown mattress have fiberglass?
The Kingsdown mattress we received did not list fiberglass or silica on its law label and didn’t seem to have a fire sock, similar to the other Kingsdown mattresses we’ve tested. Some companies that manufacture their mattresses in the United States use fiberglass as a fire barrier to comply with federal regulations. It’s always a good idea to double-check your mattress’s law label before trying to remove the cover.

Where are Kingsdown mattresses made?
Kingsdown has a manufacturing facility in North Carolina, USA. The company also has operations across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Does the Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven mattress need a bedframe?
According to the company’s warranty information, a proper bed frame must be used with all Kingsdown mattresses. King and queen sets must have a rigid centre support with at least 5 legs or 5 hardwood cross slats.
How long does a Kingsdown mattress last?
According to experts, a good mattress should last 7–10 years. However, this can vary depending on the materials used in the mattress’s construction and how frequently it is used. There’s no strict rule, but if you notice visible sagging, lumps, or a decline in comfort and support, it may be time to replace it. Regular maintenance and proper care can help extend a mattress’s lifespan.

What Kingsdown Fairhaven mattress alternatives should I consider?
Logan & Cove Choice is a medium-firm hybrid mattress with many of the same features as Kingsdown Silent Partner Fairhaven. While both mattresses have a plush top cover, moisture-wicking materials, and cooling gel foam, Logan & Cove Choice scored higher for edge support, motion isolation, and cooling features. Logan & Cove also comes with a longer 365-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding, all for $999 for a queen size.
