Silk & Snow is a Canadian company founded in 2017 with the goal of making affordable, high-quality mattresses and bedding products. The Silk & Snow Organic Mattress was released in late 2020 and represents the company’s most eco-friendly design.
Organic cotton, wool, and latex are used to create an inviting comfort system, and a thick layer of pocketed innerspring coils serves as a stable support core. The standard model of the Silk & Snow Organic is firm (7), but medium soft (4) and medium firm (6) models are available for an extra charge.
We asked the expert team in our Test Lab to break down the performance of the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress. We’ll go over all of their findings and analyze the materials, construction, and pricing of this latex hybrid.

Answer a few questions to find the right mattress for your unique needs
Testing Team Takeaways
To test the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress, we had three people on our testing team each take the bed home with them for one week. Here are their initial observations.
Jackson Lindeke
Executive Product Director
Side sleeper
180 lbs.
Showers before bed
For me, the medium firm model of the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress was a great blend of cushioning and responsiveness. I felt that the other models were either too soft or too firm.
Logan Foley
Editorial Director
Side sleeper
140 lbs.
Has too many dogs in the bed
Like Jackson, I liked the medium firm for side sleeping, but I found the plush model to be comfortable as well. The organic cotton and wool add a nice touch of softness around the joints.
Daniel Noyed
Senior Product Editor
Back sleeper
165 lbs.
Dunks head in ice water to wake up
The two firmer models were supportive to me as a back sleeper. I also liked the edge support and temperature regulation in those models. As an added benefit, they also cost less than the plush version.

Side Sleepers
We found that there’s a version of the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress to suit just about any side sleeper. The medium soft (4) model rated the highest among those under 130 pounds, and the medium firm (6) was best for people over 130 pounds.
To keep their spine aligned when lying down, side sleepers need a mattress that can accommodate their hips and shoulders. Our testing team found that the latex layers in the softer models of the Silk & Snow Organic did that effectively, enabling solid comfort and support.
However, the base model, which is firm (7), lacked cushioning for side sleepers of every weight.
Back Sleepers
Both the medium firm (6) and firm (7) models of the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress earned solid reviews from the back sleepers during our testing.
These models were able to provide essential cushioning for the lower back without losing structural integrity. This kept back sleepers from sinking into the mattress and, as a result, helped keep their spine in a neutral position.
In contrast, the medium soft (4) model was too plush for back sleepers who could feel themselves pushing too deeply into the soft latex layers.
Stomach Sleepers
Like back sleepers, the stomach sleepers on our testing team strongly preferred the firmer two models of the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress. Stomach sleepers under 130 pounds gave higher scores to the medium firm (6) option, while most over 130 pounds thought the firm (7) model was more comfortable and supportive.
Stomach sleepers get better support from a firmer mattress. A firmer bed helps hold their spine in a flat, even plane. A softer mattress can cause the belly, where people tend to carry the most weight, to sink too much.
Because they put less weight on the sleep surface, stomach sleepers under 130 pounds sometimes prefer a little more softness.This is why our team members who meet these criteria gave higher ratings to the medium firm (6) model.
Mattress Performance
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.

Silk and Snow Organic Mattress Review Breakdown
There are three different models of the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress. The base model is 10 inches tall and has a firm (7) feel. The medium firm (6) model is 12 inches tall, and the plush or medium soft (4) model is 14 inches tall.
All three models have a cover that is made of breathable cotton that is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Right beneath the cotton is a 1-inch layer of GOTS-certified organic wool.
In all of the models, there is a .8-inch layer of certified organic latex beneath the wool. In the base model, there is no additional latex layer. In the medium firm (6) version, there is a second layer of latex that is 1.5 inches thick. In the medium soft (4) model, that second latex layer is 3.5 inches thick.
Each version of the mattress has the same support core made of pocketed innerspring coils that are built to have reinforced edges as well as a zoned design for more tailored support.

There is a significant price difference between the three models of the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress. The base model costs much less than most latex hybrids, but it also has less latex in the comfort system.
