Comfort
The S&S Mattress has been all over the press, receiving accolades from the likes of Fortune Magazine, Ottawa Life, HGTV, Sleep Foundation, CTV, Esquire and Cosmopolitan. And for good reason – the features of the S&S mattress are outstanding, which is why it’s beloved by so many Canadians from coast to coast.
When we think about a new sleeping surface, comfort is top of mind. The S&S mattress definitely delivers on this. The multilayer memory foam construction creates a cozy place to rest your head, relieving pressure across key points of the body. The premium gel memory foam layer is specifically designed to promote even spinal alignment, reducing back pain and helping muscles recover. It’s so easy to fall asleep – and stay asleep – when your body is perfectly cradled!
For me, the most important factor of a mattress is its support. The S&S mattress checks all my boxes as a medium-firm memory foam mattress. The transitional performance foam and premium support layers serve as durable, stablizing foundations for the body, offering unparalleled support by holding the spine in a neutral position. It’s truly a game changer for those who are suffering from back pain or body aches!
Motion Transfer
If you share your mattress with a partner or a pet, you probably aren’t a stranger to waking up at their every toss and turn. This is what we refer to as motion transfer, and it’s a concern for many of my patients. If this sounds like you, it is important to select a mattress with low-motion transfer to minimize interruptions during your sleep.
The S&S mattress has proven to be incredibly effective in motion absorption. Based on our tests, we’d expect sleepers to feel little to no movement from the other side of the mattress
Breathability
A standout feature of the S&S Mattress is its exceptional cooling properties. Silk & Snow uses a special GlacialAir open-cell memory foam infused with a cooling gel, encouraging better airflow throughout the mattress and minimizing heat absorption. These features result in a strong performance that is comparable to a traditional innerspring, promoting a consistently cool and comfortable sleeping experience. In fact, testing results show there is significantly more airflow in the S&S mattress than in other leading competitors.
The antimicrobial cover promotes airflow on the mattress’s surface, bolstering the design’s ability to dissipate heat as quickly as possible. The cover feels cool to the touch, so you will always turn to the cool side of the bed.
Should you buy the S&S mattress?
A million times yes. The Silk & Snow S&S mattress is a standout memory foam mattress for those looking for a comfortable, pain-free sleep. Retailing at $800 CAD for a Queen, the made-in-Canada memory foam mattress is a smart and reliable investment for those seeking to elevate their sleep experience. With a perfect balance of quality, comfort, and affordability, this mattress is designed to deliver a restful and rejuvenating night’s sleep without breaking the bank.
From the initial moment you lay down on the S&S Mattress, three distinctive features will immediately capture your attention: the soft cushioning of the memory foam, the deep support in key areas like your shoulders or lumbar, and how still the mattress remains, no matter the movement. The premium, high-density memory foam surely impresses, as it offers easy movement, pressure point relief, and a cool surface for hours on end. When receiving the mattress, it arrived quickly and conveniently and was quite easy to bring out of the box and onto the bed frame. We experienced minimal off-gassing and were impressed with how quickly the mattress expanded to its full shape. The company focuses on being as transparent as possible and lists details about each step in the supply chain so customers can feel confident about where and how their mattress is made.
Overall, we highly recommend the Silk & Snow S&S Mattress to anyone looking for a pain-free sleep solution, or to make meaningful improvements to their sleep environment.
