We would expect most all-foam models to isolate motion very well, and the Silk & Snow Mattress meets this expectation.
The 2-inch memory foam comfort layer absorbs virtually all surface-level vibrations that might otherwise transfer across the mattress and disturb your sleep partner’s slumber. More significant movement may reach the 2-inch polyfoam transition layer, which also isolates motion extremely well.
While the Silk & Snow Mattress should absorb the vast majority of movement, sleepers with partners prone to more rigorous tossing and turning could notice some vibrations.

Silk & Snow is a Canada-based bedding company that aims to make luxury sleep products available to everyone at a price they can afford. The company currently sells bed frames, sheets, duvets, a pillow, a mattress protector, a weighted blanket, a silk pillowcase, and two mattress models.
The mattress line includes the Silk & Snow Mattress and the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress. Both models contain memory foam comfort layers and have a mid-range feel, but the Silk & Snow has a polyfoam core while the Silk & Snow Hybrid uses coils. This review focuses exclusively on the original all-foam model. If you’re looking for the Silk & Snow Hybrid model, see our full review here.
The Silk & Snow Mattress uses three layers of foam to give it a distinctive pressure-relieving hug with greater responsiveness than many all-foam models. With a rating of 5 (medium) on the 10-point firmness scale, most sleepers are likely to rest comfortably on the Silk & Snow Mattress regardless of their body type and sleep position.
We’ll delve into the all-foam Silk & Snow Mattress’s construction, sizing, pricing, and performance before breaking down customer reviews and company policies.

Side Sleepers
The Silk & Snow Mattress is perhaps best suited for side sleepers due to its contouring and pressure relief. The 2-inch memory foam comfort layer lets their hips and shoulders sink in to reduce pressure buildup in these regions, and the polyfoam transition layer and core limit sagging to support proper spinal alignment.
Since it has a medium feel, the Silk & Snow Mattress should be a good match for side sleepers under 230 pounds. Those who weigh under 130 pounds may get the best blend of cradling and support. Side sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds will probably enjoy conforming along with the support they need.
Back Sleepers
A back sleeper’s hips can sink into the Silk & Snow’s 2-inch memory foam comfort layer deeply enough to relieve pressure and align the spine. While some mattresses allow a back sleeper’s hips to drag the center of their body too deeply into the bed, the Silk & Snow’s supportive polyfoam transition layer and core curb excessive sagging to prevent spinal strain.
As a medium mattress, the Silk & Snow may be ideal for back sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds since they should enjoy the best mix of spinal support and contouring. Back sleepers that weigh over 230 pounds could sink in a bit more around the hips, which could put some mild pressure on their lumbar region. They’ll likely be better off with a firmer model.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers often have the hardest time finding a comfortable mattress since their preferred sleep position typically contributes to aches and pains. This discomfort can be amplified by a mattress that lets the weight of their hips and stomachs pull their midsections too deeply into the bed.
At 2 inches, the Silk & Snow’s memory foam comfort layer isn’t as thick as those of some all-foam models, so most stomach sleepers shouldn’t sink in excessively. The polyfoam transition layer and core also reduce the likelihood of midsection sagging by providing stable support.
That being said, its construction combined with its medium feel makes the Silk & Snow Mattress a good match for stomach sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds. Though the bed may provide adequate support for stomach sleepers over 130 pounds, most heavier sleepers will find their hips sink in a bit too far into the bed to be comfortable.

Silk & Snow Mattress Review Breakdown
The Silk & Snow Mattress rates at a 5 on the 10-point firmness scale, which means it has a medium feel that should be suitable for most sleepers. It is an all-foam model constructed of three layers.
A 2-inch layer of memory foam serves as the comfort layer. This memory foam is medium-density, balancing durability, close-conforming pressure relief, and temperature control. A gel infusion further aids temperature regulation by pulling heat away from the sleeper’s body.
Next, a 2-inch layer of polyfoam enhances the bed’s support and motion isolation while acting as a barrier so that sleepers don’t sink in too hard against the firm core. Finally, a 6-inch polyfoam core gives the sleep surface a sturdy base.
The mattress is wrapped in a polyester and spandex blend cover that stretches to move with the comfort layer. A silver infusion gives the cover anti-microbial properties to help protect against bacterial growth and resulting odors. This cover is also removable and machine washable, and the silver infusion has been tested to hold up after 100 washes.
All the foams in the Silk & Snow Mattress hold Certi-Pur US certification. This certification indicates that they are formulated without the use of ozone depleters, mercury, lead, formaldehyde, phthalates, and other potentially harmful substances.
