Silk & Snow Organic Mattress Review
Silk & Snow Organic Mattress: An Introduction
Toronto-based Silk & Snow, established in 2017, sells Canadian-made mattresses along with bedding products and home furnishings. The brand currently offers three mattresses: the Silk & Snow Mattress, the Silk & Snow Hybrid, and the Silk & Snow Organic.
The Silk & Snow Mattress is the brand’s flagship memory foam model, while the Silk & Snow Hybrid has a combination of gel-infused memory foam and individually wrapped coils.
We’ll take an in-depth look at the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress, examining how it’s constructed and how it performed for our testing team. We’ll also cover the price, shipping options, and details about the sleep trial and warranty.
How We Review
Our team of mattress experts assessed the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress’ performance in key performance areas like pressure relief, temperature control, and edge support. We also examined the mattress’ comfort for various types of sleepers. Our hands-on approach offers insightful, reliable ratings to aid you in determining if the Silk & Snow Organic meets your needs.
What’s It Like to Sleep on the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress?
In the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress, distinctive layers of organic cotton, wool, organic latex, and zoned coils combine for a balanced and responsive feel.
The comfort system contains a thick layer of wool over two layers of latex, providing gentle contouring and pressure relief without excess sinkage. This is balanced by the bed’s supportive coil core, which adds bounce and makes moving on the mattress easy. Its cotton cover, perforated latex, and pocketed coils enhance breathability and helped keep our testers cool.
Silk & Snow Organic Mattress Pros and Cons
Pros
- Multiple certifications for organic materials and low indoor emissions
- Responsive surface facilitates movement
- Strong edges increase usable surface area
Cons
- May be too soft for sleepers over 230 pounds
- Stomach sleepers may sink too deeply into the latex layers
- Lacks the deep contouring of memory foam for people prioritizing pressure relief
Sleeping Positions, Body Weight, and Firmness
We rated the standard Silk & Snow Organic Mattress as medium firm (6) on our 10-point firmness scale. You can also opt for medium soft (4) or firm (7), but the medium firm was most popular among our testers. This added pushback helps support the back and spine, a quality appreciated by a wide range of sleepers.
Although this firmness rating has broad appeal, the right level of firmness for an individual depends on factors like their body weight and whether they sleep on their back, side, stomach, or a combination of positions.
Silk & Snow Organic Mattress Sleeper Ratings
Side Sleepers
The Silk & Snow Organic Mattress was comfortable for all the side sleepers on our testing team, but it performed exceptionally well for those weighing between 130 and 230 pounds. They felt that their hips and shoulders were well cushioned and that the bed provided just the right amount of pressure relief.
Back Sleepers
Our back sleepers under 230 pounds were impressed with the Silk & Snow Organic. They felt a nice balance of cradling and support for their spine, with no pressure or misalignment in their lumbar region. Our back sleepers over 230 pounds felt some sinkage in the lumbar area, noting that they prefer a slightly firmer model.
Stomach Sleepers
Although the bed’s zoned coil system provided adequate support for our stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds, it felt too soft for heavier testers, who said they need more support to prevent their midsection from sinking into the mattress.
Our Performance Ratings
What Is the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress Made Of?
The cover of the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress is made of organic cotton certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Below that, a layer of Joma wool sourced from New Zealand serves as a natural fire barrier.
Under the layers of cotton and wool are two layers of Dunlop latex that’s certified organic by the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) and certified by eco-INSTITUT as being free of harmful chemicals. Finally, pocketed steel coils make up the bed’s support core. The coils are zoned, with firmer springs in the middle third of the mattress to provide enhanced lumbar support.

How Much Does the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress Cost?
While mattresses that are certified for sustainability often come with a higher price tag, the Silk & Snow Organic is a mid-range latex hybrid that’s priced lower than many other latex and hybrid mattresses. While it’s the most expensive of Silk & Snow’s lineup, it’s still reasonably priced for budget shoppers looking for an organic latex hybrid.

Which Silk & Snow Mattress Is Right for You?
In addition to the Organic, Silk & Snow manufactures two other mattresses, each showcasing a distinct design. The flagship Silk & Snow Mattress is the company’s medium (5) all-foam model. The use of memory foam in this model helps it provide better pressure relief than the Organic and better overall performance for sleepers under 130 pounds.
The Silk & Snow Hybrid more closely resembles the Organic, but it uses polyfoam and memory foam instead of latex in the comfort system and doesn’t have the Organic’s range of green certifications.

Silk & Snow Organic Mattress FAQ
Organic mattresses offer a range of benefits for both you and the planet. Beyond their potential for a longer lifespan and reduced odor, they’re constructed primarily from natural materials, reducing your exposure to synthetic chemicals and helping to promote a healthier indoor environment.
Silk & Snow Organic Mattresses are made in Canada. The foam, latex, and fabrics that make up the mattresses are also sourced from Canadian suppliers.
The Silk & Snow Organic Mattress can be a good pick for combination sleepers because the latex and coils make for a springy surface that facilitates changes in sleeping positions. That said, we think some combination sleepers will enjoy it more than others. Our testers determined that it’s best suited for side and back sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds. Heavier individuals, or those who occasionally or always sleep on their stomach, may find that they sink too deeply into the latex comfort system.
Whether a mattress has an odor depends on its construction and how it is packaged for shipping. Mattresses made without synthetic foams, like the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress, don’t release potentially bothersome volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are responsible for the chemical-like odor people typically associate with new mattresses. However, latex mattresses may have a slight rubbery smell when they’re new.
