Recommend a wireless charger for S7 Edge?

I'm trying to decide whether to get a wireless charger for my S7 Edge. I have looked at a few options but can't seem to find one that meets my requirements. Reviews often mention a noise when charging which, as it will be right next to my bed, is a definite no-no. Also I don't want any bright lights as my OH already complains about the amount of lights showing from my night-time tech plugged in. I could tape over small lights though.
I'm not bothered about fast charging as it would be overnight. Obviously reliability is important and not heating up too much. Any recommendations please? I am in the UK.
 
Hi,

I've been carrying out the same.

I have a normal non fast charge pad from Samsung which I bought from CEX for £20.

And a Samsung Fast Charge Stand bought from Samsung Shop for £45.
 
If I'm at 30% or less, a normal wireless charger will not fully charge my phone overnight.

I use the samsung fast charger that looks like a cradle. Yes it has a fan but it's not loud at all and I keep mine next to me while I sleep. Can't really hear it.
 
I got a Samsung original wireless fast charger, that I keep on the side by my bed. Completely silent, doesn't get hot, seems to be reliable, has one small light that's not too bright, blue when charging, green when charged. I charge a Note 7 with it, but will be OK with S7 as well of course.

This one...

I have the standard (non fast charge) Samsung wireless charger on my bedside table, there is no noise when charging just a pale blue light that changes to green when charged, it will fully charge my GS7 Edge phone from nearly flat to 100% in around 4 hours. There is definitely no need for a fast charger to charge overnight.!
 
I have spigen wireless charger for galaxy s7 device. The design of the charger is much stylish and charge my device quickly. The wireless charger includes 3 coils for Free Positioning Technology-horizontal or vertical placement. The charger strongly recommend using a 2A adapter for the best results
Can you charge the phone in portrait mode with that charger? I have an Itian A6 charger that looks likes that and is 3 coil, but only charges my S7 if it's landscape and positioned nearly perfectly in the middle.
 
I have the same Spiegen at work and charge it all the time in portait mode.

I like my factory Samsung one (flat) but the Spiegen is really nice and half the price.
