The Silk + Snow Coil Hybrid is the Toronto-based company’s second entry in the bed-in-a-box market, and their first hybrid mattress. The company began selling their products after completing a Kickstarter campaign in 2017, which resulted in the release of their original foam mattress. The company has well-defined international roots: the Silk + Snow sells both in Canada and the United States, with factories on both sides of the border.

Thanks to modern compression methods and the rising popularity of the bed-in-a-box, mattresses can now be shipped far more efficiently and conveniently than ever before. Customers no longer need to take a day off work to accept a delivery. Boxed beds are now delivered with the same convenience as most Amazon orders. Some bed-in-a-box companies even offer same-day delivery to certain areas.
In Canada, Silk + Snow uses a variety of couriers to deliver their hybrid mattresses directly to customers’ doors, while sticking with UPS Ground Services in the United States. Shipping is free in the Canadian provinces and Contiguous U.S. Remote shipping fees apply elsewhere. In some cases, the delivery can even be left on a porch or deck while the customer is away from home. Customers can expect their new Silk + Snow Coil Hybrid mattress to arrive within 10 business days after placing their order.
Like many bed-in-a-box companies, Silk + Snow heavily promotes their in-home sleep trial. At 100 nights, this sleep trial is around the average for online bed-in-a-box companies. In the event of a return, Silk + Snow offers free mattress pickup and a full refund.

Silk and Snow Hybrid Mattress: Out of the Box

Out of the Box | Silk + Snow Hybrid |
---|---|
Delivered in a box: | Yes |
Box dimensions: | 16” x 16” x 66” |
Box opening: | Scissors required |
Box/mattress fitting: | Loose |
Protection layers: | 4 |
Expansion time: | 6–12 hours |
The Silk + Snow mattress was delivered to us within the expected time frame. The mattress was well protected by heavy-duty plastic layers within the box to protect the product during shipping.
Customers will definitely need scissors or a knife to open the box. To prevent potential harm to your new mattress, remember to be extra careful when using sharp objects to remove any packaging.
Once opened, the compressed mattress is easy to remove from the box. We recommend a ‘tip-and-pull’ motion to slowly slide out the mattress from its cardboard packaging. Simply tip the box from a vertical position down onto its side, and then pull the lightweight box away from the bundled mattress. We advise completing this process in the room where you intend to use the mattress.
The Silk + Snow Hybrid mattress is protected with four layers of plastic – one thinner inner layer to compress it in a vacuum seal, and three thicker layers to keep the bundle tightly rolled in a cylinder shape.
Customers will need to unwrap the outer layers in order to unroll the mattress, which will still be in its compressed form. Some helpful advice at this stage is to place the rolled up mattress onto the designated bed frame. Next, like the end of a roll of tape, find and peel back the outer layer of plastic. You can use the momentum of unrolling the compressed mattress along the bed frame to help remove the rest of this layer, which could be a few meters long. After completing this process, the mattress will rest unrolled before you.
Next, cut the final layer of plastic. The vacuum seal now broken, the Silk + Snow Hybrid mattress will quickly begin to decompress. Remove this final layer of plastic as the mattress expands to its full height. With the Silk + Snow Hybrid, full expansion took between 6 and 12 hours.
Silk and Snow Hybrid Mattress: Construction

Construction | Silk + Snow Hybrid |
---|---|
Mattress height: | 12" |
Number of layers: | 4 |
Comfort layer #1: | 1” cooling gel foam |
Comfort layer #2: | 1” gel memory foam |
Transition layer: | 1" high-density foam |
Support layer: | 8” zoned pocketed coils |
Cover materials: | 100% polyester |
Machine washable: | No |
Made in: | Country of order |
The Silk + Snow Coil Hybrid is a 12-inch hybrid mattress. By combining steel springs and different types of foam, Silk + Snow has designed a configuration that offers reasonable comfort and support.
The Silk + Snow Coil Hybrid mattress is available only in one firmness option. This is standard for the one-size-fits-all approach commonly used by bed-in-a-box companies.
Silk and Snow Hybrid Mattress Layers

The Silk + Snow Hybrid mattress contains four layers:
- First layer: 1 inch of quilted cooling gel foam. This top layer contributes to the initial comfort of the mattress surface, while also offering cooling properties. Layer density: Unspecified.
- Second layer: 1 inch of gel memory foam. This transition layer was designed to reduce the buildup of pressure points. Foam density: 3 lbs/ft³.
- Third layer: 1 inch of high-density support foam. As indicated, this bottom layer of foam helps enhance the supportive nature of the mattress. Foam density: Unspecified.
- Fourth layer: 8 inches of pocketed coils. This bottom layer of tempered steel coils makes up the foundation of the mattress, offering responsive support and motion isolation. The central third of the mattress uses thicker coils to keep hips from sinking too far down. Coil count (queen): 1,000.
Of note: The Silk + Snow website also states that the foam layers include “natural seed-based oils such as soybeans,” though it is left unspecified which layers include this property. A fibrous transition layer on each side of the springs accounts for the last inch in the 12-inch build.
Silk and Snow Hybrid Mattress Cover

The top cover of the Silk + Snow Coil Hybrid has a shallow white surface with diamond tufting to advertise its softness. Like the Recore mattress, the cover also incorporates antimicrobial silver to prevent the buildup of bacteria and odour. Around the sidewalls, the Silk + Snow Hybrid is wrapped in the same dark blue, diamond-stitched design as its foam counterpart.
Bed-in-a-box mattresses sometimes have removable and machine-washable top covers. The Silk + Snow Hybrid does not have a machine-washable top cover and is spot-clean only.

Feel & Firmness
The Silk + Snow Hybrid classifies as a firm mattress. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), it comes in at a 7.4 / 10 on the firmness spectrum. The Silk + Snow mattress does not have any ‘hug,’ but the comfort layer gives it some degree of softness as you lie down.

Motion Isolation
Motion isolation in mattresses with pocketed coils is usually very good, and worth considering for customers who share their bed with a partner. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), minimal motion transfer was detected with the Silk + Snow Hybrid mattress: it rated 7 /10 on the motion isolation scale.

Edge Support
Innerspring mattresses are known for their edge support, especially when compared to foam beds. In fact, this topic is commonly brought up by mattress shoppers deciding between the two types. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Silk + Snow Hybrid mattress has an edge support rating at 5 / 10. This rates near the average for a bed-in-a-box.

Bounce
Mattresses containing springs are known for having much better bounce compared to their foam counterparts. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Silk + Snow Hybrid mattress scored 5.5 / 10 on the bounce scale.

Who buys a Silk and Snow Hybrid mattress?
The ability to compress spring mattresses has only been around for a couple of years. As a result, coil beds like the Silk + Snow Hybrid don’t have the same market awareness as their memory foam counterparts; there are fewer well-established brands to draw shoppers to the market. Customers who are initially drawn to hybrid beds are most likely to begin and end their search at traditional retail stores. Because of the nature of the market, successful online mattress companies have to do one of two things:
- Create a luxury product like Logan & Cove that customers can buy at a heavily discounted price.
- Create a low-cost mattress like Brunswick using simplified messaging, modern materials, and exceptional customer service.
The Silk + Snow Coil Hybrid falls somewhere between these two areas. As a result, customers who choose to buy this mattress are most likely to be existing fans of the boutique company, but who prefer the feel of a hybrid bed to the softer foam version. They are also likely to prefer a mattress made in North America than one from China.
Buy the Silk and Snow Hybrid if you want:
- A coil bed with a medium firmness
- A mattress made in North America
- A gel foam top layer
- An antimicrobial cover
- Seed-based eco foams
