Product Description

Silk & Snow is a mattress-in-a-box company that was founded in 2017. Sustainability, conscious manufacturing, and transparency are all fundamental aspects in creating the products. These materials are not only highly comfortable, but they are also more environmentally friendly and long-lasting than the alternatives. This winning mix results in mattresses that are healthy for your sleep and good for the environment.

The mattresses are made from just the highest-quality materials, ensuring a restful night’s sleep.

The following are the three Silk & Snow mattresses:

S&S Mattress—The sleepers can enjoy the classic enveloping feel of memory foam while sleeping and pressure point alleviation.

S&S Hybrid Mattress– This pocketed coil mattress will transport you to slumberland, with all the comfort of high-density memory foam. It’s also suitable for people who sleep on their stomachs.

S&S Organic Mattress— This is a good option if you’re a heavier sleeper who needs extra support or prefer a mattress composed entirely of natural materials.

This review is based on the essential characteristics, features, benefits, and drawbacks of S&S Hybrid Mattress.

S&S Hybrid Mattress

The Silk & Snow Hybrid is a mattress with a lot of support. It’s great for people who sleep on their backs, stomachs, or alternate between these positions. S&S Hybrid is a medium-firm mattress with a rating of 6 out of 10 on a firmness scale of 1 to 10. The Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress is 12-inch tall.

Consider the Silk & Snow Hybrid if you’re looking for a mattress that blends the stability of pocketed coils with the softness of memory foam. This mattress supports your spine and isolates motion, making it less likely that you’ll be disturbed if you share a bed. The S&S Mattresses’ original premium responsive foam meets springy pocketed coils in this hybrid model. As a result, the sleep surface is ultra-cool and supportive. The Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress provides unsurpassed support by combining high-quality pressure-relieving memory foam with up to 1200 individually wrapped pocketed coils. It’s made for people who desire a cool sleeping surface with bounce while yet getting the best pressure relief and foam contouring.

This mattress’ antimicrobial cover is constructed of polyester/spandex. It is thin and breathable. However, it is not detachable. A quilted cooling polyfoam top layer, a comfort layer of high-density gel memory foam, and a zoned pocketed coil core make up the mattress. The Silk & Snow Hybrid is a better bargain than other hybrid mattresses on the market while being more expensive than Silk & Snow’s flagship all-foam mattress. The Silk & Snow Hybrid can fit sleepers of practically every weight category with any position preference, thanks to its medium-firm feel (6 on a 10-point firmness scale).

In Silk & Snow all-foam mattresses are made with high-density memory foam, organic Dunlop latex is used in organic mattresses, and all bedding is made with excellent eco-friendly textiles like Egyptian Cotton and European Flax Linen. All of the foams used in the S&S Hybrid Mattress are Certi-Pur US certified, which means they are free of ozone depleters, PBDE flame retardants, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates, as well as other chemicals controlled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. For indoor air quality, they have low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions (less than 0.5 parts per million). This implies a better night’s sleep for you and a cleaner environment for our planet.

Mattress sizes include Twin, Twin XL, Double, Queen, King, and California King.

  • Material: The S&S Hybrid Mattress is made with high-quality materials and is handcrafted locally in the United States.

Pros & Cons

Pros

The S&S Hybrid Mattress has a lot to offer sleepers. It is suggested for

  1. Stomach and back sleepers
  2. Those who are hot sleepers
  3. Couples, due to good edge support and motion isolation
  4. Sleepers who want antibacterial mattresses

Cons

  1. If you prefer memory foam mattresses then this is not the mattress for you
  2. The cover is not machine washable
  3. This is not an ideal option for side sleepers

Firmness

It can be tough to tell the difference between a firm and a soft mattress. All mattresses should be able to support a person’s weight, promote proper spinal alignment, and provide a comfortable and restful night’s sleep. It’s a matter of personal preference whether a mattress is fluffy and spongy (what mattress companies call soft or plush) or not (what brands call firm).

The Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress is best defined as a medium-firm mattress. It is a high-profile mattress, measuring 12 inches thick. The mattress’s taller-than-average height allows for dense foam comfort layers and a strong coil structure. As a result, the mattress provides a good combination of contouring and support. The firmness is provided by the robust Canadian coil support structure, while the luxurious memory foam on top delivers cloud-like comfort. S&S Hybrid conforms a little more firmly than many of its competitors. The mattress has a medium-firm feel and won’t sink too much for most people, but with four inches of foam comfort layers, users can expect some contouring, especially if they weigh 130 pounds or more.

Due to its top polyfoam layer and coil support core, the S&S Hybrid is also quite responsive. This gives the impression of sleeping “in” and “on” the mattress at the same time.

Material & Construction

Silk & Snow Hybrid delivers a beautiful sleeping surface that cradles your body while still providing robust support for a restful night’s sleep. The layers work together to make one of the greatest hybrid mattresses available.

The S&S Hybrid’s cover is made of a polyester and spandex blend that is extremely soft and stretchy. Silver strands are also incorporated into the cloth. Silver has antibacterial characteristics, and it can help keep dust mites, mildew, and other allergens out of your mattress (a common problem with coil mattresses).

The cover can’t be removed or washed in a regular washing machine. Spot cleaning with cold water is recommended if accidents occur, according to Silk & Snow.

The S&S Hybrid has a quilted, gel-infused polyfoam comfort layer on top. This substance molds and cushions similarly to memory foam, although it does not adapt to the body as slowly. When sleepers get in and out of bed or change positions, this causes a gentle bounce on the surface.

Underneath the polyfoam layer is a comfort layer of 3 Pounds per Cubic Foot (PCF) low-density memory foam. As the sleeper’s body relaxes into the mattress, this material delivers moderate and equal contouring. The memory foam also serves as a transitional layer, preventing sleepers from sinking too far into the mattress and contacting the dense coil structure.

Individually pocketed coils make up the support core of the S&S Hybrid. This layer can have anywhere from 720 to 1,200 coils depending on the size of the mattress chosen. The support core is zoned to provide improved body support for the sleeper. Thicker coils are placed beneath the stomach region, where the majority of a person’s weight is carried, while thinner coils provide more cradling for the head, neck, shoulders, and legs.

The coils are further protected by a high-density foam buffer. This reinforces the perimeter, allowing owners to sink less when getting in and out of bed and to feel more safe lying near the mattress’s edges.

  • Cover: To assist prevent the formation of undesirable bacteria, an Antimicrobial 1-inch Cover is comprised of cutting-edge materials. The bed is encased in a silver-infused polyester and spandex blend cover. The silver infusion helps to keep the sleep surface fresh and clean by inhibiting the formation of microorganisms. The cover of the S&S Hybrid is not removable because the mattress comprises of luxury quilted foam in the next layer. It is antibacterial, though, and so immune to most bacteria and germs.
  • Layer 1: This is the 1-inch Cool Sleep Surface. A cool sleeping surface with remarkable plushness is provided by high-quality quilted gel foam and hollow fiber.
  • Layer 2: Deep pressure point relief is provided by this 2-inch layer of high-density gel memory foam.
  • Layer 3: This is the 8-inch Pocket Coil Base with zoned Lumbar Support. Up to 1200 pocketed double-tempered spring coils limit motion transfer and provide unmatched support. A more solid center zone ensures consistent and balanced support for the mid-section of our body, which carries most weight.

Repositioning

(/5)

If you buy the correct mattress, it will be easy for you to alter positions during the night. Memory foam and softer foam mattresses sink in, making changing positions more difficult.

Due to its top polyfoam layer and coil support core, the Silk & Snow Hybrid is also quite sensitive.

Its memory foam comfort layer conforms to the curve of the body. As this foam has a lower density, it should adapt to pressure changes more rapidly, avoiding the “stuck in the bed” feeling that memory foam comfort layers are known for. Due to the coil core’s responsiveness, most sleepers should have little trouble changing positions or moving around the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress’s surface.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

(/5)

Make sure your mattress has proper back support, spinal alignment, and pressure reduction before you buy it. For optimal back health, sleeping in the appropriate spinal position is essential. This means that the mattress should support your spine in the same way as it does while you’re standing. When a mattress pushes back against your body in a concentrated location with too much force, it can cause pain, poor circulation, frequent tossing and turning, and other issues. Side sleepers, in particular, should be wary of “pressure spots,” which occur when your body weight is dispersed over the lowest surface area.

The ability of a bed to relieve stress in the shoulders, hips, and lower back is referred to as pressure release. Your weight, sleeping position, and body shape all have an impact on a mattress’s capacity to achieve this. For heavy sleepers, another consideration is whether the foam version can sustain their weight without sagging all the way to the bottom support layer.

No mattress can give all sleepers with the same level of spinal alignment and pressure relief. Sleepers of various weights, body types, and sleep postures will have different spinal alignment and pressure reduction capabilities.

The combination of premium high-density memory foam and high-density pocketed coils in the S&S Hybrid mattress provides unsurpassed pressure alleviation and support for your body. The Silk & Snow Hybrid mattress is made of up to 1200 individually wrapped pocketed coils. It’s made for people who desire a cool sleeping surface with bounce while yet getting the best pressure relief and foam contouring. When compared to foam layers of lower density, the S & S Hybrid Mattress’s 2-inch layer of High-Density Memory Foam ensures a greater level of comfort and durability. Every night, get the finest sleep possible with this hybrid mattress in a box. You’ll sink just enough in the appropriate places thanks to zoned support in the coil core, with more support under the hips and slightly softer coils under the shoulders.

  • Back Sleepers: Back sleepers require more support, especially around the hips and shoulders, which can sink into softer beds and cause improper spinal alignment.
    The Silk & Snow Hybrid’s medium-firm texture is ideal for back sleepers of all sizes. Those who weigh less than 130 pounds may not sink in as deeply as they would want, but they should get enough support and contouring to sleep comfortably. Most back sleepers weighing less than 230 pounds can get a better balance of cradling and support.
  • Side sleepers: Over time, side sleepers typically develop shoulder discomfort.
    The Silk & Snow mattress has a medium-firm feel to it, which may be too firm for certain side sleepers under 130 pounds. They won’t sink in as deeply as bigger people, and won’t get the essential contouring to relieve pressure spots. People who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds are in a good spot.
  • Stomach sleepers: Some mattresses allow the hips to sink too deeply. As a result, stomach sleepers may have a harder time aligning their spine. Stability and support are especially vital for them in order to avoid back and hip pain.
  • The Silk & Snow may be best suited for stomach sleepers weighing 130 to 230 pounds due to its medium-firm texture. Individuals in this weight range should receive adequate support as well as comfortable contouring. Stomach sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds should also receive adequate support, however, they may find the bed’s surface to be firmer than ideal.
  • Heavy sleepers: People who are overweight put a lot of strain on their beds.
    The Silk & Snow Hybrid should provide a nice blend of contouring and support for side sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds. The coil core will prevent sinkage around their hips and shoulders, and the memory foam will conform to their bodies. The Silk & Snow Hybrid should also provide a nice blend of contouring and support for side sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds. The coil core will prevent sinkage around their hips and shoulders, and the memory foam will conform to their bodies. Stomach sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds should also benefit from the Silk & Snow’s zoned support, albeit some of these people’s hips may sink somewhat.

Cooling & Temperature Control

(/5)

Memory foam mattresses are well-known for their ability to retain heat. The memory foam layer produces a tight feeling and traps heat as the sleepers sink into it.

Thanks to the mattress’s top-of-the-line cooling gel layer coupled with a breathable pocket coil core, you may be cradled by memory foam while still feeling cool in the Silk&Snow Hybrid.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

(4.25/5)

It evaluates a mattress’s capacity to keep other people in the bed from being disturbed when their partner changes positions or turns over. In a mattress like this, you never know when your partner will get up or get out of bed.

Motion is absorbed by the S&S Hybrid Mattress. There will be no disruptions to your sleep. You will no longer feel your companion moving in bed, thanks to over a thousand individually wrapped pocketed coils that react independently to pressure changes. As a result, couples and those sleeping with partners and pets prefer this mattress.

Edge Support

(/5)

Foam mattresses aren’t always extremely supportive towards the very edge of the mattress, which is vital if you want to sit or sleep on the bed’s edge. Couples should also consider edge support, as poor edge support confines both sleeping and sexual activities to the center of the bed. If you sit on the edge of the bed as you get in and out, the bed may bend, causing a disturbance to your companion. With all-foam mattresses, this is a regular issue. Hybrid mattresses are better in this respect.

The extra-firm perimeter of the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress prevents flattening while resting on the edge and supports the structure. With this mattress, you’ll never have to worry about drooping edges.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Regardless of which posture we sleep in, we all need to get enough sleep for our bodies to recuperate and replenish. During the day, we lose one to two inches of height. The absence of fluid causes the intervertebral discs to constrict, resulting in this condition. The discs are repaired during the night by the fluid. You must sleep in a comfortable position for this to function. When we say we’re in a favorable position, what exactly do we mean? Side, back, and stomach sleepers, as well as individuals who prefer a combination of these positions, are the three types of sleepers. Each of the three people has various needs, and as a result, they have varying levels of comfort, support, and stability.

  • Side Sleepers: For the vast majority of people, sleeping on one’s side is the norm. Although the body might sink into the mattress, the waist and spine must be supported and aligned. In the morning, this helps to keep neck and back troubles at bay. The support components for the neck and pelvis should be flexible to relieve pressure on these areas. For side sleepers, a mattress with contoured comfort and firm support is perfect.
    Side sleepers may find that S&S Hybrid does not always provide the pressure relief they desire. This mattress may not provide adequate pressure relief for side sleepers with shoulder and/or hip problems to keep the aches at bay.
  • Back Sleepers: To avoid painful arches when sleeping on your back, make sure your shoulders and hips sink far enough into the mattress. Back sleepers, on the other hand, prefer to “sleep on” rather than “sleep in” a mattress. Sinking too deeply into a mattress can be difficult for a back sleeper, particularly if their hips dip deeper than the rest of their body, placing pressure on their lower back. Back sleepers want a mattress that gently cradles their hips while offering sufficient support to keep their spine aligned.
    Due to its medium-firm feel, the Silk & Snow Hybrid can appropriately distribute body weight. It’s perfect for back sleepers as a result of this feature.
  • Stomach Sleepers: It’s best to sleep on your stomach on a firm mattress. This prevents your stomach from sinking too deep, limiting your motions and leading to curvature. As a result, the shoulders and neck are stressed. Those who sleep on their stomachs, in particular, need extra support to maintain their spine straight and comfortable. A soft mattress may lead the midsection of a stomach sleeper to sink into the support core, causing lower back pain. By offering regular support, a firmer mattress prevents this.
    The S&S Hybrid can keep the hips and spine in a pleasant and elevated position. Medium-firm mattresses, such as this one, can help maintain the sleepers’ hips and shoulders aligned, as well as their spine.
  • Combination Sleepers-Those who shift from one position to another: Are you one of those guys who alternate between sleeping on his back, stomach, side, and back throughout the night, tiring of each position? It’s not like you’re on your own. About 20 times per night, the majority of people shift positions. The greatest combination sleeper mattress is responsive to motion while still being excellent at isolating it.
    The Silk & Snow Hybrid mattress is a fantastic option for mixed sleepers. It is an excellent choice for both back and stomach sleepers. Combination sleepers who switch between the two positions will likely feel comfortable on this mattress, as it is suitable for both back and stomach sleepers.
