Not to be confused with the Christmas carol, or the [[Film/SilentNight loose remake]] of ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNight'', ''Silentnight'' is the largest manufacturer of beds & mattresses in the United Kingdom.

The mascots for the company are a hippo and duck couple, who demonstrate that the products are suitable for all shapes and sizes.

!!The Silentnight adverts contain examples of:

* ABoyAGirlAndABabyFamily: The Hippo and Duck family.
* AnthropomorphicShift: In the original 1980s advert, a relatively "real" looking hippo (apart from standing on his hind legs and wearing pyjamas) shares a mattress with a perfectly realistic-looking duck, who - despite the voiceover referring to "your partner" - is apparently just there to demonstrate that it (it doesn't even seem appropriate to call it "she" at this point) doesn't roll towards him. By the 2000s, the adverts had switched to cartoons, and become [[http://uk.adforum.com/creative-work/ad/player/35450 this]] example of HotSkittyOnWailordAction.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: The hippos are shown to have a unique peach skin.

* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Hippo.
* CallBack: In the opening scene in the "My First Bed" advert, you can hear the "Miracoils" advert playing on the television in the background.
* DoubleTake: In the "My First Bed" advert, if you look close enough in the board game sequence, you can see Henry the baby hippo doing this out of joy when he sees how much Dee-Dee (the kid duck) rolled.

* {{Hammerspace}}: One advert from the 2010s has the duck trying to wake up her HeavySleeper hippo husband by pulling noisy objects out of thin air.
