About Silk & Snow
Silk & Snow is a Canadian sleep brand founded in Toronto, Ontario. Launched in 2016, the company sells mattresses, pillows, sheets, and sleep accessories directly to consumers online, the standard direct-to-consumer model that disrupted traditional mattress retail starting around 2014.
What distinguishes Silk & Snow from some competitors is its emphasis on natural and organic materials. The company offers a certified organic mattress option and uses GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified materials in premium tiers. They ship to all Canadian provinces and some US states.
Silk & Snow Mattress Lineup
Silk & Snow offers three main mattress options:
| Model | Type | Height | Firmness | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S&S Foam | Memory foam | 25 cm | Medium (5/10) | Memory foam preference; all positions |
| S&S Hybrid | Pocketed coil + foam | 30 cm | Medium Firm (6/10) | Couples; combination sleepers; back sleepers |
| S&S Organic Hybrid | Pocketed coil + organic latex | 30 cm | Medium (5–6/10) | Eco-conscious buyers; latex preference |
The S&S Hybrid: Performance Review
The Silk & Snow Hybrid is the company's most popular product and the model we'd recommend to most buyers considering the brand. Construction:
- Top comfort layer: 3.8 cm gel memory foam (cooling-infused)
- Transition layer: 2.5 cm foam for pressure distribution
- Support core: Tempered steel pocketed coils (15 cm, individually wrapped for motion isolation)
- Base layer: 5 cm high-density foam foundation
- Cover: Breathable knit fabric
- The pocketed coil system provides good edge support and sleeping surface stability
- Motion isolation is above average for a hybrid, couples reported minimal disturbance when one partner moves
- Cooling is better than most foam-only options at this price point
- Medium-firm feel works well for most back and combination sleepers
- 30 cm total height gives a premium bed-in-room feel
- At medium-firm (6/10), may be too firm for dedicated side sleepers who prefer significant contouring
- No soft option in the hybrid lineup (foam-only model offers the softer feel)
- Heavier than all-foam options, setup requires two people
- Cooling is good but not exceptional for hot sleepers who need maximum airflow
The S&S Foam Mattress
The S&S Foam is Silk & Snow's entry-level offering, a more affordable all-foam option for budget-conscious buyers or those who specifically prefer memory foam:
- Comfort layer: 5 cm open-cell foam
- Support core: 20 cm high-density foam
- Firmness: Medium (5/10)
- Performance: Solid compression relief; slower response than hybrid; warmer sleeping than hybrid
The foam model is a reasonable entry point. It's comparable in concept (though not identical in execution) to the Endy original, a straightforward medium-feel foam bed at an accessible price. The main limitation is heat retention typical of all foam-only designs.
The Organic Hybrid
Silk & Snow's premium tier, the Organic Hybrid, uses GOLS-certified organic latex in the comfort layer instead of synthetic foam. This appeals to buyers who prioritise natural materials and certification transparency:
- GOLS certified organic latex comfort layer
- GOTS certified organic cotton cover
- Tempered steel pocketed coils, same as the standard hybrid
- CertiPUR-US certified foams for non-organic layers
Natural latex has excellent durability (12–15 year lifespan vs. 8–10 for synthetic foam) and better temperature regulation than memory foam. The price premium reflects the cost of certified organic sourcing. For buyers willing to invest in a genuinely eco-conscious product, this is one of the few Canadian options in this category.

Frequently Asked Questions
Silk & Snow operates primarily as an online brand with no physical retail showrooms. They rely on their 365-night trial to allow customers to test the mattress in their own home. Some pop-up events have been held in major cities, but these are not permanent locations.
Better than most all-foam options. The hybrid model's pocketed coil system allows significantly more airflow than solid foam alternatives. The gel memory foam comfort layer also helps with temperature regulation. However, for very hot sleepers, dedicated cooling mattresses with PCM (phase-change material) or latex comfort layers may be more effective.
Generally well-regarded. The 365-night trial process is straightforward, and return coordination is handled through their website. Response times for inquiries are typically within 1–2 business days. Canadian customers report fewer issues with return logistics than with US-based brands that don't have Canadian operations.
Yes, Silk & Snow offers a full bedding lineup including cotton and bamboo viscose sheets, pillows (down alternative and memory foam options), duvet inserts, and mattress protectors.
