Firmness,
bounce, and cooling features are a matter of personal preference and aren’t part of our rating system, so these scores are shown in grey.

Product Details
S&S Hybrid has a 12″ profile with 3 layers of foam and coils. Depending on whether you choose the medium-firm or plush version, this mattress has a medium-firm to medium level of firmness. The latest version of S&S Hybrid provides good motion isolation. While its edge support is above average, we noted a significant decrease in edge support compared to the previous version.
Silk & Snow advertises that the mattress’s non-removable cover has antimicrobial properties. However, the law label on the mattress we purchased only lists polyester as a cover material. There is no other publicly available information that indicates how the cover has antimicrobial properties.
Polyester is also known for its durability but isn’t commonly known as a breathable fabric, so you could find that the mattress cover traps heat throughout the night. To get a cooling cover, you’ll have to upgrade to the plush version of S&S Hybrid for an extra $550. However, this pricey upgrade still doesn’t include the advanced cooling features found in other hybrids like Logan & Cove Choice.
Ideal For: Back Sleepers, Side Sleepers

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns
Silk & Snow uses various courier services for mattress deliveries and offers free shipping to most Canadian customers (although remote areas may have additional fees). The mattress should arrive on your doorstep in 2–9 business days, including dispatch and delivery time.
The company offers a 365-night sleep trial and 15-year warranty, which are comparable to those of other mattress brands. Sleep trials are a popular perk among online mattress brands, allowing you to test the mattress at home before you commit to keeping it. If you decide to return your mattress within the trial period, you will need to fill out an online form for Silk & Snow to coordinate your return and refund.
Silk & Snow promotes a seamless return experience. However, customers on BBB and Trustpilot have complained of issues with returns, warranty claims, and getting a response from customer service. The company is rated “A+” on BBB, but it’s important to note that its customer star rating is less than three stars.
Silk & Snow Mattress Construction
S&S Hybrid contains 3 mattress layers that work together to provide a balance of comfort and support. All layers are CertiPUR-US® certified, but the exact density of each foam layer is unknown.
- Layer 1: The comfort layer is 1″ of quilted cooling gel foam and holofibre fill, adding a touch of softness for a plush and refreshing feel.
- Layer 2: The transition layer is 2″ of high-density cooling gel-infused memory foam. This helps shape the overall feel and firmness of the mattress while providing pressure-point relief.
- Layer 3: With 8″ of double-tempered pocketed spring coils, the support layer provides extra support under the hips and shoulders. The foundation also offers a bit of bounce while limiting motion transfer.
The S&S Hybrid has a non-removable polyester cover, so it should be spot-cleaned in case of any spills or stains.
Although the cover is advertised to have antimicrobial properties, it’s not clear how polyester could do this. It’s possible the fibres were coated with an antimicrobial substance or woven with antimicrobial fibres, but there’s no information on the mattress’s law label or on Silk & Snow’s website to support this. If antimicrobial material is present, there’s likely only a small amount, or it would be listed on the label.

MattressReviews.ca commissions licensed third-party engineers and uses public data to rate mattresses on over 40 criteria.
This allows us to accurately rate and compare the performance of the mattresses reviewed on this website. Engineer independence and operating standards help ensure their results remain unbiased, valid, and reliable. Each mattress was evaluated using the same strict mattress testing methodology to protect the overall integrity of the results. The full report has been given the official stamp of approval from an APEGA-certified engineer operating under a strict ethical code of conduct.
Mattress testing conducted outside of this professional standard poses a greater risk of validity errors or reviewer bias.
6.8 /10
Firmness
In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), S&S Hybrid had a deflection of 2.8″ when laid on, resulting in a 6.8/10 firmness score. This places the mattress on the firmer side of the “medium-firm” category, which is good for side, back, and stomach sleepers.
S&S Hybrid is considerably firmer than the previous version we tested, which scored 5.3/10 and fell within the “medium” range. The newer version of S&S Hybrid has far less “hug” than the previous version.
6.8 /10
Edge Support
S&S Hybrid features a thick foam encasement around the perimeter of the mattress. But despite this reinforcement, the latest version of the mattress had a deflection of 5.3″ from a seated position. This gives it a 6.8/10 score for edge support—much lower than the previous version’s score of 7.8/10.
While this is still an above-average score, you may feel more confident sitting on the edge of Logan & Cove Choice, which has a greater edge support score of 7.5/10.
8.0 /10
Motion Isolation
Hybrid mattresses don’t usually offer great motion isolation because of their inner coils. However, S&S Hybrid bucks this trend with a score of 8.0/10. If you share your bed with a partner, you can expect to feel little to no movement when they toss and turn in the night.
3.9 /10
Bounce
Coil-based mattresses tend to be bouncier and more responsive than all-foam and latex mattresses. S&S Hybrid scored a 3.9/10 for bounce, which is slightly below average for a hybrid mattress. You may notice a little difficulty changing positions or getting out of bed in the morning.
If you’re looking for a mattress with greater bounce and a more responsive sleep surface, you might prefer Logan & Cove Choice with its bounce score of 5.8/10.
2.8 /10
Cooling Features
S&S Hybrid isn’t generally considered a cooling mattress, but it does have a few features to help regulate temperature. This mattress earns points for its:
- Temperature-balancing fabric in the top cover (only available in the Plush upgrade)
- Layer of gel-infused foam
- Layer of pocket coils, which provide some breathability
If you’re looking for a hybrid mattress with better cooling, consider Logan & Cove Choice instead. Like S&S Hybrid, Choice’s construction includes a layer of cooling gel foam and airflow-promoting pocket coils. However, Choice has additional features like a quilted top cover that contains breathable hollow fibre, gel-infused foam, and cooling nanofibres.

Company Background
Silk & Snow is a relatively small North American company specializing in bed and bath products for Canadian and American customers.
In 2017, the company ventured into the bed-in-a-box market after successfully completing a Kickstarter campaign. At that time, they introduced their initial memory foam mattress, the Original (later rebranded to the S&S Mattress). The company later expanded its product line to include two more mattresses and a line of bath products.
Silk & Snow is rated “A+” with the Better Business Bureau. However, as of this review’s publication, the company holds a customer review rating of less than three stars. Complaints cover issues like low quality, discrepancies in shipping costs despite the website’s claim of free shipping, challenges in reaching customer service, warranty, and delayed order deliveries.
Silk & Snow’s Trustpilot rating is “Great”, but there are still a number of one-star reviews. Negative Silk and Snow reviews mention sagging, lengthy processes to honour warranties and returns, and poor post-purchase customer service.

Is the Silk and Snow mattress good?
