The Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress is a popular Canadian-made hybrid mattress composed of memory foam and a zoned innerspring coil layer. It’s relatively easy on the wallet, but that doesn’t mean it’s without a few luxurious upgrades. In addition to a generous 365-night sleep trial, the mattress comes in three firmness levels (firm, medium-firm, and plush) to accommodate different sleep styles and body types. It’s available in standard sizes from twin and twin XL through California king, and even the largest sizes retail for just over $1,000 in the medium-firm option — and even less during the brand’s frequent sales. But who might sleep best on this hybrid mattress?
To answer that very question, the Sleepopolis team of certified sleep experts put the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress through a series of tests in accordance with our medically approved methodology. We assessed features like firmness, pressure relief, edge support, cooling ability, and much more, leaning on our collective experience — our expert testers have evaluated more than 330 mattresses in the Sleepopolis studio. We also checked in with our chief medical advisor, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM, to make sure all our recommendations are in line with the latest in sleep science.
During testing, the medium-firm Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress scored quite well in all categories, with high marks for cooling ability, pressure relief and motion isolation. We think it’s a great choice for side and back sleepers in particular. Read on to find out if this could be the right new mattress for you.
As an affordable option with a medium-firm feel, we think that the Silk & Snow Hybrid should appeal to a wide variety of sleepers, including back sleepers, side sleepers, hot sleepers, and budget shoppers. Learn more in our full video review, where we compare the Silk & Snow Hybrid to the original Silk & Snow, which doesn’t have coils.
What our tester says:
“The Silk & Snow Hybrid is a great middle ground firmness for those who don’t want an ultra-firm bed, but also want to feel well-supported.” – Amelia Jerden, senior staff writer
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Overview
The Silk & Snow Hybrid features a layer of gel-infused memory foam positioned over a zoned coil layer that’s firmer in the center third for more support. It comes standard with a firm feel and an 11-inch height. For $100, you can upgrade to medium-firm and a 12-inch height in all sizes. The plush version is 14 inches tall and adds $300 to the price tag.
Our tester Dan Caffrey evaluated the medium-firm Silk & Snow Hybrid and reports feeling very comfortable on his side and his back. Despite the quilted foam layer on top, he didn’t find it difficult to switch positions. That’s thanks to hundreds of individual pocketed coils that offer pushback support.Instead of reinforced coils around the perimeter of the mattress, the 8-inch pocket coil base in the Silk & Snow Hybrid is wrapped with extra-firm, high-density foam. It’s designed to resist collapse along the edge and reinforce the mattress as a whole.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Value
The 11-inch firm model is the most economical, with prices starting at $650 for a twin and $1,100 for a king before discounts. Upgrading to the medium-firm model adds $100 to each size, which is still well priced. The plush model adds additional layers that increase both the height and cost of the mattress. But value isn’t just about the price point. It’s a reference to the fairness of that price when material quality and mattress performance are both considered.
The Silk & Snow Hybrid combines two foam layers with a coil layer that’s made of double-tempered Canadian steel. The memory foam is CertiPUR-US certified, which indicates a high safety standard — the material has been third-party tested for the presence of harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and ozone depleters. While the brand claims the extra-firm foam encasement around the coil layer contributes to anti-sag edge support, reinforced coils on the perimeter are often the better choice for long-term performance. As a whole, however, the materials in the Silk & Snow Hybrid are high quality. Between that, the hybrid construction, and its performance in our tests, it’s reasonable to expect the mattress to last 7 to 10 years.
What Is the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Made Of?
As part of the testing process, we cut into mattresses to get a closer look at their construction and materials. The foam perimeter on the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress was so thick, we actually thought it was a foam mattress at first. We had to cut farther than usual to reach the coils.
The cover has the feel of an athletic jersey — slick and slightly cool to the touch. Silk & Snow says it’s an innovative material designed to prevent bacterial growth, but it’s not antimicrobial certified.
What Is the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Made Of?
Let’s take a look inside the Silk & Snow Hybrid. Knowing what materials a mattress is made from can help you better understand how it will feel and perform.
Cover – The cover is thin and slick, almost slippery.
Comfort Layer – This layer is quilted into the cover and gives the medium-firm model an extra inch of foam reminiscent of a pillow top.
Comfort Layer – Two inches of gel-infused memory foam help combat heat retention and add pressure relief and body weight distribution.
Support Layer – Up to 1,200 pocket coils, reinforced in the center of the mattress, support spinal alignment and help isolate motion transfer. This layer is encased with extra-firm, high-density foam to resist sagging.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Firmness
Since no two sleepers are alike, mattress firmness and feel are subjective. That’s why firmness is generally ranked on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 is the firmest, 1 is the softest). Interestingly, the Silk & Snow brand uses a firmness scale that goes up to 8 and ranks its firm mattress a 7, its medium-firm model a 5, and its plush model a 3.
Our team uses the traditional 10 scale to assess firmness. Our tester Dan, who falls in the average-weight category (between 130 and 230 pounds), found the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress to have a true medium-firm feel — a 6.5 on the firmness scale — when he tested it on his side and back. On his side, he says he got the right amount of sinkage and contouring in his hips and shoulders, and the Silk & Snow Hybrid was just as comfortable when he was on his back. “I got a nice lift for my upper body from the bed’s springs while the foam and soft pillow top filled in my lumbar region,” says Dan.
On his stomach, the mattress felt a touch softer — about a 6 on the firmness scale. Dan found that his hips sank a little too far to ensure proper spinal alignment in this position, so average and heavyweight stomach sleepers will probably do better with a firmer mattress.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Performance
Beyond construction and firmness, our tests also evaluate performance across key categories: pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, cooling, and edge support. We use a mix of subjective and objective tests for the most comprehensive understanding of how a particular mattress can be expected to perform for different sleeping positions and body types. Below, we’ve summarized each test and detailed how the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress performed.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Pressure Relief Performance
Dr. Raj Dasgupta calls memory foam one of the best materials for pressure relief because of the way it contours around the body’s pressure points. In the medium-firm Silk & Snow Hybrid, there’s a two-inch layer of adaptive, gel-infused memory foam, so we expected it to perform well in this category.
We used three different testers to assess pressure relief in the side- and back-sleeping positions. All testers spent a few minutes in both positions, paying close attention to areas of the body that might be building pressure and/or finding relief. We also rolled out a pressure-sensing mat onto the mattress to put objective numbers to our testers’ experiences. The mat measured pressure buildup in pounds per square inch (PSI) and conveyed the results via color-coded thermal image, which displayed blue and green in areas of low pressure, and red and yellow in any areas where pressure accrued.
Overall, the Silk & Snow Hybrid scored a 3.67 for pressure relief in the side-sleeping position and a 4 for the back-sleeping position.
Caine Wilkes, our heavyweight sleeper (over 230 pounds), often finds mattresses feel softer than average because he sinks more deeply into the top layers. On his side, he felt like his hips sank a little deeper than his spine, affecting his alignment. “I felt some contouring more in my hips than my shoulders,” he said, and noted he actually felt a little pressure in his shoulders. His pressure reading was 15.88 PSI, and he scored the mattress a 3 in this position.
Pressure relief improved when he was on his back, and his pressure reading dropped to 14.3. “Everything felt aligned — shoulders, hips, and spine,” he said. “I felt pretty supported overall, although I could use a bit more of a lift in my lower back.” He gave the Silk & Snow Hybrid 4 stars here.
Our average-weight sleeper, Sosha Lewis, gave the mattress 4 stars for both positions. “I can feel the top is really contouring,” she said, adding that it felt good on both her shoulders and hips when she rested on her side. “I don’t feel any pressure on my body.” On her back, she said the Silk & Snow Hybrid had the same great pressure relief. “My midsection feels elevated and my spine is aligned even with more cushioning than I would typically choose for a mattress,” Sosha said. At 12.58 PSI and 14.95 PSI for back and side, respectively, Sosha’s pressure scores for both positions almost perfectly lined up with the overall mattress averages for pressure in these positions.
Asha Birjah, our lightweight sleeper (under 130 pounds), gave the mattress the same scores as Sosha. But even though both testers gave the Silk & Snow Hybrid a 4 for pressure relief on their sides, it was a better fit for Sosha than it was for Asha, who reported feeling pressure on her hip. Lightweight sleepers often find mattresses firmer than average, because they lack the weight to sink into the cushioning top layer. Asha said she didn’t feel immediate discomfort, but there was a possibility of it if she spent a full night’s sleep on her side on this mattress.
Things improved somewhat on her back. “I feel like my lower half is really sinking into the mattress, but in a good way that’s giving me contouring and pressure relief,” she explained. But she also noticed a bit of strain in her neck, which she said is a problem area for her. Asha’s pressure results were below the overall mattress average, with a 10.73 PSI for back sleeping and an 11.9 for side sleeping.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Motion Isolation
Motion isolation is often an important feature for couples or anyone who regularly shares their bed with a pet. It describes a bed’s ability to absorb motion on impact instead of transferring it across the mattress as a whole. In a mattress with high motion transfer and low motion isolation, movements from one part of the bed can be felt on the other side. That’s an issue if you sleep with a restless bed partner who tosses and turns or gets in and out of bed at night. What’s more, Dr. Raj Dasgupta notes that motion isolation can be an indicator of material and construction quality in a mattress.
With the Silk & Snow Hybrid, we used two different tests to assess motion isolation and gave the mattress an average score of 4.67. The ripple test involves a basin of water placed on one side of the mattress. A tester climbs in and out of bed and changes position, observing the degree to which the water is impacted, from mild ripples to aggressive sloshing. When Dan performed this test, he was surprised by how little the water moved. “Hybrid mattresses aren’t always the best at isolating motion because of their springs, so it was refreshing to see how still the water remained,” he says.
Our tester Matt, who falls into the heavyweight sleeper category, also performed the ripple test. While the water moved a little more, it wasn’t by much. Overall, we scored the Silk & Snow Hybrid a 5 for the ripple test on both getting in and out of bed and switching sleeping positions.
During the partner test, Dan lay on one side of the bed with a blindfold. On the other side, an average-weight tester, Kate, got in and out of bed and rolled around, moving from her side to her back to her stomach. Dan says he felt a little movement, but it was very low. “I don’t think you’re likely to feel your partner tossing and turning unless you’re an especially light sleeper,” he said. We gave the Silk & Snow 4 stars for the partner test.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Responsiveness
Responsiveness describes how quickly the materials in a mattress return to their original shape once pressure is removed. If you’re a combination sleeper, it’s an important feature because it keeps you from feeling stuck as you change positions, which can be disruptive and lead to nighttime awakenings. Hybrid mattresses, even those with memory foam, tend to be fairly responsive, so we expected the Silk & Snow Hybrid to fare reasonably well. We performed four tests to assess responsiveness, and the mattress earned an average of 4 stars.
First up was the switch test. Dan assessed how easy or difficult it was to change positions on the mattress. While he didn’t find it difficult at all, even with the memory foam layer on top, he said he did wobble slightly before settling in. He describes it as a fairly easy mattress on which to move around and gave it a score of 4.
During the responsiveness test, we placed a 53-pound kettlebell on the mattress for seven seconds. We used a stopwatch to time how long it took for the mattress to return to its original shape after the kettlebell was removed by lifting it straight up. Tester Erin Chiles performed this test and found the Silk & Snow Hybrid took 2.2 seconds to regain its shape. That’s very slow, earning the mattress just 1 star.
Erin also assessed sinkage by placing the same kettlebell on the center of the mattress and using a ruler to measure how far the mattress sank. At 4.15 inches, the sinkage of the Silk & Snow Hybrid is well past the 3.7-inch average of mattresses we’ve tested. That earned it a 5-star rating for sinkage. It’s a sign that most sleepers can expect fairly intense body contouring and plenty of cushioning.
Our final test for responsiveness involved dropping a 25-pound steel ball onto the mattress from a 6-foot height, and then using a yardstick to measure how high it bounced. When tester Carter Coughlin performed this test, he recorded a 10-inch bounce height. The average bounce height for mattresses we’ve tested is 16.3 inches, so this indicates low bounce. It means the mattress won’t offer much of a sense of buoyancy or lift — instead, it will feel like sleepers are sinking down into it. We gave the mattress 3 stars for this test.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Cooling
While hybrid mattresses sleep cooler than all-foam mattresses because the coils allow for better airflow, memory foam can be problematic for hot sleepers. The material traps heat because it’s so dense and contours so closely to the body. The Silk & Snow Hybrid uses a gel infusion to combat this tendency, so we were curious to see how well the mattress would perform. Overall, it earned an impressive 4.5 stars.
Dan used a thermal gun to measure the temperature of the sleep surface before and after he lay on it for five minutes. An increase of 5 degrees or less indicates excellent cooling, while 5 to 10 degrees is considered good cooling. If the increase is 10 to 15 degrees, the mattress has decent cooling. Fifteen degrees or more is a sign of poor cooling.
The Silk & Snow Hybrid measured 66 degrees at the first reading. After Dan rested on it for five minutes, it measured 70 degrees. That’s a 4-degree change, which means the Silk & Snow has excellent cooling abilities. Dan also observed whether or not he noticed the mattress heating beneath him. “I didn’t feel this mattress heating up at all,” he said. “It kept a cool temperature throughout and should be comfortable for hot sleepers.”
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Edge Support
Edge support is another category that’s particularly important for couples, as well as those with mobility issues. With strong edge support, the perimeter of the mattress is just as stable and supportive as the center. That means more room for couples to spread out and more security for people when they sit on the side. It can also indicate durability — a mattress with poor edge support is likely to sag over time. We used three tests to measure edge support on the Silk & Snow. It earned an average of 3.6 stars.
First up is an objective test that involves placing stacks of weighted plates on the edge of the mattress, and then using a tape measure to see how far the layers collapse. Our tester Erin used three stacks to represent different weight classes — a 99-pound stack, a 154-pound stack, and a 198-pound stack. The Silk & Snow sank 3.5 inches for the first stack, 4 inches for the second stack, and 5.5 inches for the final stack. That earned the mattress scores of 4, 4, and 3, respectively, and an average score of 3.67.
Dan performed our second test for edge support. He sat on the side of the bed with his feet on the floor. From the seated position, he pushed to standing, with and without his hands, to assess how supported he felt. While he said it wasn’t overly difficult getting on and off the bed, he did notice some sinkage when he was seated. He gave the mattress 3 stars.
Next, Dan lay on the edge of the Silk & Snow Hybrid. He assessed how stable and supported he felt on his side, back, and stomach. “I felt well-supported while lying near the edge of the bed, although I did notice that the pillow top’s surface was very slippery, which made me move around more than I would have liked,” he said. On the plus side, he thought this issue could be resolved with a good pair of sheets. Dan scored the mattress 4 stars for this test. It’s a sign that the mattress is a better fit for couples looking to maximize space than those who have mobility issues that call for stable edges when seated.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Performance for Couples
Couples often benefit from a mattress that sleeps cool, responds quickly, isolates motion, and delivers stable support along the perimeter. The Silk & Snow Hybrid performed reasonably well in these categories. It earned at least 4 stars or above for everything but edge support. Choosing an appropriate size, like a king, to accommodate both partners is a workaround if you’re leaning toward this mattress.
Other Performance Factors to Consider
To ensure a well-rounded review, our team also assessed the mattress in other ways.
Sex
The sex score for a mattress is an average of its scores for responsiveness, cooling, and edge support. The best mattress for sex tends to have a quick response time, which makes it easy for couples to move around. Breathability and cooling keep both partners comfortable, while strong edges make it easy to enjoy one another on different parts of the bed. The Silk & Snow Hybrid earned 4 stars for responsiveness, 4.5 stars for cooling, and 3.6 stars for edge support, giving it an average score of 4. That makes it a good mattress for sex, though you may want to stay closer to the center of the bed.
Noise
When a mattress has coils, there is the potential for squeaks at some point. Our tester Sosha described the mattress as pretty quiet, with no telltale noise from any of the materials, even after she jumped on it and tested it on an adjustable base. While the mattress earned a full 5 stars, just keep in mind that this may not be the case years down the line.
Base Compatibility
We assess mattresses on an adjustable bed frame in our studio, and the Silk & Snow Hybrid performed reasonably well. Sosha called it one of the most comfortable beds she’s tested on an adjustable base because it doesn’t feel like it’s pushing into you. That said, she gave it 3 stars for this category because there was noticeable gapping when she elevated the head and foot of the base and moved it into the zero-gravity preset.
Durability
The Silk & Snow Hybrid is reasonably priced despite its high-quality materials and construction. It has a sturdy coil support layer and a 15-year warranty, though its edge support could have been improved by using reinforced coils instead of the foam feature. Still, we can see the mattress performing well for 7 to 10 years.

Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Sleeping Position and Body Weight
Mattress performance is directly related to sleeping position and body type. That’s why a lightweight side sleeper has very different needs in a mattress than a heavyweight stomach sleeper — it relates to how much weight is applied to different parts of the body. Here’s how the Silk & Snow will likely perform for side, back, and stomach sleepers.
Before we dive into our recommendations, though, we want to recognize that people come in all shapes and sizes, and people of every size deserve a mattress that works for their body type. We use the weight categories light, average, and heavy to more easily categorize sleepers based on how mattresses will perform for their body type, as most mattresses are designed for the group we call “average” (130 to 230 pounds).
As a general takeaway, lighter sleepers don’t require as much support as average-weight sleepers, and mattresses will tend to feel firmer to them. On the other hand, heavy sleepers tend to need more support than average-weight sleepers and tend to sink into the mattress more. As far as sleeping positions go, side sleepers tend to need a softer mattress while stomach sleepers usually need a firmer, more supportive one. Back sleepers are usually somewhere in the middle.
Is the Silk & Snow Hybrid a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – This mattress is a good match, with enough contouring to relieve pressure for this group of sleepers.
- Light Side Sleepers – These sleepers may find pressure builds in the hips because they don’t sink in quite enough.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – Sleepers in this weight class should be comfortable, with enough support to keep the hips elevated.
Is the Silk & Snow Hybrid a Good Mattress for Average-Weight Sleepers (130–230 pounds)?
- Average-Weight Back Sleepers – The cushioning in the Silk & Snow Hybrid is enough to comfortably fill the lumbar region, so this is a great option.
- Average-Weight Side Sleepers – This position should be really comfortable, with a great balance of sinkage and contouring.
- Average-Weight Stomach Sleepers – Hips could dip just a little too far in this position, so a firmer mattress is probably a better choice.
Is the Silk & Snow Hybrid a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 230 pounds)?
- Heavy Back Sleepers – This mattress probably lacks the reinforcement heavy sleepers need, so we don’t recommend it for this group. Instead, we advise choosing a mattress for heavy sleepers.
- Heavy Side Sleepers – See above.
- Heavy Stomach Sleepers – See above.
My Final Thoughts About the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress
Looking for the quick takeaways on who might love the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress — and who should probably avoid it? Here’s what we think.
Who I Recommend the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress For
- Back and side sleepers in the average weight range looking for a balance of comfort and support.
- Combination sleepers who move from their backs to their sides and need a mattress that responds quickly when they switch.
- Budget shoppers looking to spend under $1,000 or so for a good mattress.
- Couples who want a comfortable mattress to meet all of their needs.
Who I Don’t Recommend the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress For
- Lightweight side sleepers, especially those who have hip and shoulder issues.
- People with mobility issues who need excellent edge support so they feel supported getting in and out of bed.

Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress vs. Competitor
It can be helpful to compare mattresses when you’re trying to pinpoint the best option for your needs. Here’s how the Silk & Snow Hybrid stacks up to the Nectar Premier Hybrid, a popular and affordable pick.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress vs Nectar Premier Hybrid
Both mattresses share a similar construction — memory foam and coils — but there are distinctions. The Silk & Snow uses gel-infused memory foam, while the Nectar Premier has a cooling cover to combat heat retention. The Nectar Premier has reinforced coils around the perimeter for strong edge support, but the Silk & Snow Hybrid has stronger coils in the center third for more lumbar support.
- Price: The Nectar Premier Hybrid is $1,099 for a queen mattress, so it’s several hundred dollars more than the Silk & Snow (and that’s before you factor in sales pricing on the Silk & Snow).
- Sleeping position: Both mattresses work well for side and back sleepers in average weight classes, but the 13-inch Nectar Premier can also accommodate heavy back sleepers.
- Cooling: The Silk & Snow Hybrid edged out the Nectar Premier slightly for cooling ability, but we think both mattresses should work well for hot sleepers.
- Body weight: The Nectar Premier is a better fit for heavy sleepers, but side and stomach sleepers in this category should consider a mattress made specifically to accommodate more weight.

The Nectar Premier Hybrid is a medium-soft mattress with a durable hybrid construction. This bed should work well for a wide range of sleepers with different needs. It also features a quilted cooling cover with Microban antimicrobial protection to help prevent bacteria growth.
What our tester says:
“I think back sleepers should feel comfortable on this bed, as it will support their lumbar region and offer them pressure relief. Also, combination sleepers will notice how easy it is to change sleeping positions on this mattress and how quickly the foams form around your body as you settle into your new position.” – Nichole Mondshein, lead reviewer and staff writer
Other Models From Silk & Snow
Wondering what else the Canadian retailer has to offer? Here’s how the brand’s hybrid mattress compares to its all-foam model.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress vs Silk & Snow Mattress
If you’re comparing mattresses in the Silk & Snow collection, you’re bound to come across the Silk & Snow Mattress. This memory foam mattress comes standard with a firm feel and a medium-firm is available for a $75 upgrade. It shares the same 365-night sleep trial and 15-year warranty as the hybrid model, but it’s significantly less expensive — and lacks the coil layer.
- Price: A queen-size Silk & Snow Mattress is $725 before sales pricing, making it $225 cheaper, so it’s definitely the budget buy.
- Sleeping position: Average-weight back and stomach sleepers will likely appreciate the firm support of this mattress, but it’s best for those who appreciate a firm feel. If you prefer a bit of cushion, the hybrid is the better choice.
- Cooling: All-foam mattresses just don’t have the breathability of hybrids, so if cooling is an important feature, opt for the Silk & Snow Hybrid.
- Body weight: We don’t recommend either mattress for heavy sleepers. The all-foam Silk & Snow Mattress certainly lacks the support, but the same is probably true of the hybrid model, too.

The Silk & Snow Organic mattress is a great choice for shoppers wanting an eco-friendly mattress. The Dunlop latex and coils make this mattress bouncy and responsive, which is great for both combination sleepers and couples. We also think this bed is an excellent choice for back sleepers, especially those suffering from back pain. The medium-firm feel provides a nice balance between soft cushioning and firm support. We also think this bed could be good for hot sleepers, as the latex is super breathable and the coils provide additional airflow. This mattress is also very affordable and could be a great find for budget shoppers.
What our tester says:
“Back sleepers should really like the Silk & Snow Organic. I think they’ll enjoy the zoned support the mattress offers, which means it has a softer feel under the head and leg area to allow sinkage in those zones — while keeping your hips at the right height.” – Bridget Chapman, former senior product editor
Our Review Process
At Sleepopolis, our team of certified sleep science coaches personally test each mattress. We start by unboxing the mattress to figure out how difficult (or easy) it is to get the mattress from the box to the bed. Then, we spend time lying on the bed in different positions, taking time to assess it on our backs, stomachs, and sides. Next, we perform our Sleepopolis tests, using specialized tools to measure qualities like motion transfer, bounce, and pressure relief. Our last step is to open up the mattress and take a look at each layer. These steps allow us to give our final verdict on the mattress.
