A Medium-Firm Mattress Delivered in a Box

This Canadian-made mattress is medium-firm. On a firmness scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the firmest, the S&S is a 6.

While firmness is a personal preference, a medium-firm mattress is popular with side sleepers because it cushions the body’s pressure points, such as the hips and shoulders. Some back sleepers like medium-firm, while others want even firmer.

Another popular point about Silk & Snow’s Mattress is that it conveniently ships in a box to your doorstep for free. Before shipping, the mattress is vacuum sealed to fit in the secure box.

Upon receiving the mattress, place the mattress in your bedroom of choice before letting it decompress and expand. Allow the foam to adjust to room temperature, lying flat for 72 hours, as per Silk & Snow’s website, to enable the mattress to return to its full size and firmness.

When removing the mattress from the box, you may notice a slight off-gassing odor from the mattress. This harmless smell typically dissipates within about 24 hours.

Choose from Several Mattress Sizes

The 10-inch high S&S Mattress comes in all the standard sizes and dimensions:

• Twin: 38” W x 75” L
• Twin XL: 38” W x 80” L
• Full: 54” W x 75” L
• Queen: 60” W x 80” L
• King: 76” W x 80” L
• Cal King: 72” W x 84” L

Check Sizes Price

Which size to choose depends on several factors, including whether you sleep alone, the size of your bedroom, and whether you like to spread out while you sleep. If you are taller, you might favor the extra length of the Cal King over the King size, and the Twin XL over the Twin.

How the S&S Mattress is Made

If you like supporting local, you’ll be glad to hear that Canadian craftspeople make this Silk & Snow Mattress. The CertiPUR-US® certified foam and fabric are sourced from manufacturers based in Toronto, Ontario, and the mattress is sewn locally, too.

The mattress design features three memory foam layers that combine to offer comfort and support. Let’s look at the layers and materials to better understand how they are constructed.

Antimicrobial, Removable Cover

At the top is a polyester and spandex cover. The cover is made from a special antimicrobial textile to help inhibit bacteria growth, contributing to a healthier sleep environment. Plus, the cover unzips to go into the washing machine easily.

2.5lb Gel Memory Foam

Below the cover is a 2.5-pound gel memory foam layer. As with the other two memory foam layers, this is top-quality memory foam. The high-density, open-cell foam in this 2-inch layer is infused with gel for a cooler sleep.

Traditional Performance Foam

The next layer of the Silk & Snow Mattress is a 2-inch transitional performance foam. At 1.8-pounds, the foam is dense for superior support and better motion isolation. We will discuss these features more later in the review.

Premium Support Layer

Below the performance foam is a 1.8-pound base layer. The thick 6-inch support foam is designed to provide a sturdy, supportive foundation for the mattress.

Silk & Snow Mattress Review: Pros and Any Drawbacks

There is a lot to like about the original Silk & Snow mattress. Based on our team’s research, here is what it excels at, and a few potential limitations.

Eco-Conscious

The original S&S Mattress is healthier for the planet than some other brands, thus helping you minimize your ecological footprint. It has CertiPUR-US® certified foams, which means all the foams are made without ozone depleters, mercury, lead, other heavy metals, PBDE flame retardants, formaldehyde, and phthalates.

With this certification, the mattress emits minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) for healthier air in your home. These emissions are low, at less than 0.5 parts per million, as per Silk & Snow’s website.

The Canadian manufacturing process is also eco-friendly. Silk & Snow sources its foam from a manufacturer that commits to using less energy with less waste. Also, the fabric source is a company known for using recycled materials and has received recognition from approved governing bodies for how they care for the environment.

Excellent Pressure Point Relief

The Silk & Snow memory foam mattress is designed to provide exceptional pressure relief, thanks to the 2.5-pound gel memory foam layer. The high-quality, dense foam responds to the body’s heat, evenly distributing weight across the sleep surface.

Even weight distribution can help align the body’s neck, shoulders, hips, and spine. That can reduce pressure point issues for some people and may prevent built-up tension in these areas.

A Focus on Support

A support layer is integral to the original Silk & Snow Mattress. This design is different from older memory foam mattresses of the past you may remember that didn’t provide proper support. Instead, the thick 6-inch layer keeps the body from sinking too deep into the mattress. Along with supporting your body to help prevent back pain or soreness in other areas, the support foam protects the integrity of the Silk & Snow Mattress.

With medium firmness, the memory foam mattress contours to support the body while still providing a cozy feel. Side and back sleepers may prefer this feel. However, it may not be ideal for stomach sleepers who want a firmer feel for more support.

Zero Motion Transfer

If you share the bed with a sleep partner, you likely know that when one of you rolls over, the other person may feel it and wake up. Silk & Snow includes a 2-inch transitional performance foam layer to solve that issue. It provides zero motion transfer, meaning you won’t feel the motion on your side of the mattress if your partner moves during the night. That helps make for an uninterrupted night’s sleep.

Cooler Sleep Experience

This luxury model is not made like the memory foam mattress you might have had years ago that wrapped hot around your body. Instead, a gel-infused memory foam layer provides a cooling sleep experience. If you tend to wake up feeling sweaty, a cooler sleep can be a welcome relief.

Removable, Washable Cover

We like that the cover conveniently unzips to remove it to clean periodically or if there is a spill. It is machine washable for easy care. We don’t see this feature in many mattresses in Canada.

A hygienic sleep environment is also easier to maintain with this mattress as the cover has a unique antimicrobial texture. That helps keep unhealthy bacteria from forming.

Superior Quality Foam

A big reason the Silk & Snow Mattress offers superior pressure relief and support is the use of high-quality foam. As with other materials, foam is not all made the same. The brand chooses dense, premium foam to offer these important benefits and combines three layers of the high-end foam.

The luxury materials put this mattress in the mid-to-high range of Canadian memory foam mattresses. Thus, it won’t be within every household’s budget. With that said, a mattress is an investment, and this one is well-constructed, making it high value.

Sleep Trial

A lengthy home trial is included. The 365-night sleep trial is longer than many Canadian mattresses, giving you peace of mind. Trying out the mattress at home to see if it is right for you for a year from the delivery date is a big plus. Silk & Snow’s Terms and Conditions page explains the conditions to meet if you want a refund within the sleep trial period.

Warranty

The S&S Mattress comes with a 15-year limited warranty. Under this warranty, Silk & Snow will replace the mattress if it forms permanent indentations over 1 inch, when no weights are on top of it, despite normal use and proper handling. We recommend reading the brand’s warranty terms, as certain conditions must be met, and this policy can change at any time.

Silk & Snow Mattress Review Conclusion

The luxurious Silk & Snow Mattress offers comfort and support with three layers of high-quality foam. With medium firmness, contouring, and pressure relief properties, this mattress is popular with side and back sleepers. Couples are also likely to appreciate the zero motion transfer.

While it will not fit every budget, the mattress is made to last longer with top-quality materials and a durable base layer. The 365-night sleep trial and 15-year limited warranty show that the brand stands behind its mattress.

For those who sleep hot, gel-infused memory foam may provide a cooler sleep experience. This may help prevent waking up during the night sweating, thus potentially extending sleep time.

Our team thoroughly researched and reviewed the Silk & Snow Mattress, and we recommend the mattress as a high-value choice.
