  • What is NoFraud?

    NoFraud is a fraud prevention service that Silk & Snow has partnered with. They help to screen orders we receive and alert us if they suspect a transaction is at high risk for fraud. The benefits of this is twofold: it helps to protect consumers against fraudulent credit card use and helps to protect businesses against fraud chargebacks. 

     

    Why did I receive an email/call/text message to confirm a transaction? 

     

    You may have received an alert email or call because your transaction has been flagged by NoFraud for elevated risk, or irregular shopping characteristics. We at Silk & Snow want to confirm that the order was made from the authorized cardholder. 

     

    After I confirm the flagged transaction, do I need to do anything else? 

     

    Once you’ve confirmed the flagged transaction, there is nothing else you need to do unless you have been asked by a fraud analyst to provide additional information. 

     

    Will NoFraud ever ask me for my personal information? 

     

    NoFraud will never ask you for your full credit card number, social security number, or any other personal information. 

     

    Will my order be delayed due to NoFraud? 

    As soon as your response is received, your order will be released for processing. 

     

    I did not make an order with Silk & Snow, and neither did anyone that has access to my credit card. What do I do now? 

     

    After confirming that the transaction was truly unauthorized, we recommend that you contact your credit card company and inform them that your card has been compromised. Review the latest transactions on your account to ensure there is no other fraudulent activity to report. Your financial institution will likely put a hold on all future purchases from the compromised account and issue a new one for future use.

     

    How can I find out more about NoFraud? 

     

    You can visit their website at NoFraud.com to learn more.

  • How do I ship to my apartment/condo?

    We advise you to notify your concierge, front desk, doorman or property management office that you are expecting a large shipment ahead of time. This will help minimize the chance of the shipment being refused or returned to sender.

     

    We will also need to have your buzz code so that our delivery driver can notify you once they are at your building. Please note that we cannot guarantee that our couriers will be able to call you when the shipment arrives, and they will not be able to bring the shipment to your unit.

     

    If you’re experiencing a problem with your delivery, send us an email right away and we will be there to help.

  • What courier service is used to ship the mattress?

    We will ship your package using various courier partners (FedEx, UPS, CanPar, private couriers, etc.).

  • Returns and Exchanges
  • What is your mattress return policy?

    S&S Mattress, S&S Hybrid, S&S Organic, and RV Mattresses

     

    We offer a 100-night risk free trial period. We know that it takes more than a quick touch and feel of a mattress to know if it’s the right one for your body. For this reason, we ask you to try our mattress for at least 30 nights.

     

    We’re sure you’ll love our mattress (just as much as we do) but if it’s ‘just not right’, we’ll gladly help you return it and offer you a full refund. Your comfort is what we care about most. Please note that we allow only two mattress returns per initial order.

     

    Custom Mattresses

     

    Our custom mattresses are not eligible for return under our typical 100 night sleep trial, due to the fact that they are custom built for the customer’s unique preferences. As such, please keep in mind that they are final-sale items. However, our custom mattresses are still covered under our 15 year warranty, so if for any reason you have an issue with your Silk & Snow custom mattress, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we’d be more than happy to assist you.

     

     

  • How long will it take to process my refund?

    Refunds are generally issued within 2 business days after the returned product has been received and verified. Refunds are applied to the same form of payment used for the original purchase. Refunds can take up to 14 business days to be reflected on your financial records.

  • What is your mattress exchange policy?

    To initiate an exchange, email us at [email protected] and our team will gladly walk you through the process. Please note that we only accept exchange requests via email. 

     

    We want to make sure you always have a mattress to sleep on. That’s why we will wait until you have received your new mattress before making arrangements to have your first mattress picked up at no cost to you. 

     

    Once the mattress pickup has been confirmed, we will then process your refund for the cost of the mattress. 

  • What is the return policy of your bed frames?

    We offer a 30 night trial period with all of our furniture, giving you the opportunity to try it out and see if it's to your liking. We want you to love the furniture you decorate your space with. During your trial period if you find that any of our furniture just isn't right for you, we'll gladly accept a return for a refund.

     

    To initiate a return, please email us at [email protected].

  • What is your accessories return policy?

    We offer a 100 night risk free trial on all of our accessories. We're sure you'll love them, but if they're 'just not right', we'll gladly help you return it and offer you a full refund.

     

    Any box will do for a return. But if you have the space, feel free to hold on to the original packaging, as it might be the easiest way to get the accessories back to us. To initiate a return, please email us at [email protected].

  • Do I need to return the mattress in the original box?

    Once your mattress is decompressed from the box, it won’t fit back into the box. So rather than have you stress about that, we make returns just as painless as the purchase – we’ll make arrangements to have your mattress picked up by one of our charitable partners.

  • Setup and Care
  • What type of foundation or base should I use with my mattress?

    The support underneath your mattress is just as important as the mattress itself. It’s important to place your S&S Mattress, S&S Hybrid, or S&S Organic on a stable, firm surface to ensure that the mattress will perform as designed. This is true for all mattresses.

     

    We recommend a rigid base like a traditional bed frame with foundation, a platform bed or a slatted bed (make sure slats are not bowed and are equally spaced, no more than 3” apart and no less than 2” wide). Since Queen, King and California King Mattresses are wider, platform beds and slat systems require at least one centre support beam.

     

    If you have questions relating to the suitability of the bed frame for any of our Silk & Snow mattresses, please do not hesitate to send us an email at [email protected] for more information.

  • How can I clean my mattress?

    We recommend spot cleaning the mattress but before you spot clean, remember to dab up as much of the liquid as possible – wiping or scrubbing could spread your stain. Use a cloth or sponge rather than paper towels which can disintegrate. Another note is to use cold water because warm water may set the stain permanently.

  • Do I need to flip my mattress?

    No, all Silk & Snow mattresses are designed to have a specific top and bottom for optimal comfort. However, we do recommend that you rotate your mattress every 3 months to ensure that the mattress gets evenly used, which will increase the longevity of the mattress overall.

  • How do you set up the mattress?

    When you receive your Silk & Snow mattress, here are a few pointers to set it up:

     

    Step 1 - Prepare for the unboxing of your new Silk & Snow mattress. Your mattress will come compressed in a box and depending on the size of the mattress you ordered, the weight of the mattress could range from 50 to 115 lbs. The mattress may be too heavy to carry by one person, so we suggest that you ask a partner for assistance when bringing it to your desired location in your home.

    Step 2 - Unbox and remove the sealed bag. After you remove your new Silk & Snow mattress from the box, place the mattress, while still in its plastic covering, lengthwise on your foundation, platform bed or other supportive surface. Cut the plastic bag surrounding the mattress, but be careful not to cut to the mattress itself.

    Step 3 - Let it decompress and expand. Once the plastic covering of the mattress is cut, the mattress will start to decompress and expand. It is important that you let the mattress naturally conform to its new environment and allow the foam to adjust to room temperature especially if purchased in cooler months. Letting it lie flat for 72 hours will help in its full recovery from shipping. It may take up to 72 hours for your mattress to return to its full dimension and firmness. However, you may sleep on it right away.

  • How long can I leave the mattress in the box?

    We recommend that you unbox your new mattress within three weeks of purchase. If you are planning on moving, we would suggest that you order ahead of time so that we can hold your order and time your shipment to arrive after your move-in date. Please contact us at [email protected] for more details on how to coordinate your delivery date if you are moving.

  • I just received my Silk & Snow bed frame, and I can’t find my slats. Where are they?

    Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten your slats! 

     

    For our Upholstered Bed Frame and Storage Bed Frame, we’ve thoughtfully designed the packaging of the headboard of the bed to include multiple components of the bed frame inside, including the slats. 

     

    We’ve decided to include this design feature for two reasons:

    1. It helps to protect your slats during transport

    2. It helps to reduce waste from unnecessary packaging 

     

    So if you’re looking for your slats, they’re in the storage compartment on the back of your bedframe’s headboard.

  • The Mattress
  • Can I try your Silk & Snow mattresses before I make a purchase?

    We spent many, many nights trying out different mattresses on the market, so you don’t have to. And since we did all the R&D first hand, our mattresses are human tested and human approved.

     

    The Silk & Snow mattresses have been designed to provide you with the best sleep ever. We want you to be absolutely certain that you love it, that’s why you get 100 nights to sleep on it, risk free. If you don’t like it, we’re happy to help you return it at no cost to you.

     

    Oh, and you are welcome to test our products in person before making a purchase online. Please visit our Contact Us page to find your nearest showroom. Click here.

  • Where are your mattresses made?

    All of our Silk & Snow mattresses are made by local companies that value sustainability and quality in the same ways that we do. We’re picky about who we partner with, which is why all of our mattress manufacturing partners have decades of experience and are located in Canada. All of the foams, latex, and fabrics used in the creation of our mattresses are also Canadian  made.

  • Do your mattresses sleep warm?

    Traditionally, memory foam mattresses sleep a little warmer. However, our S&S Mattresses and S&S Hybrid Mattresses are made using innovative open cell memory foam infused with cooling gel, which allows for greater breathability and lower heat retention when compared to older generations of memory foam.

    Our S&S Organic Mattress is made using latex, which is naturally more breathable than memory foam, and does not possess the same heat retentive qualities. For this reason, the S&S Organic Mattress is the coolest mattress we offer, and we recommend it for sleepers that tend to sleep hot.

  • Does your mattress smell or will your mattress have an odour?

    You might notice a new mattress smell, but it will be minimal. It goes away quickly and is not from any harmful chemicals.

     

    Our foams are CertiPUR-US certified, which means our foams are:

     

    ✓ Made without ozone depleters
    ✓ Made without PBDEs, TDCPP or TCEP (”Tris”) flame retardants
    ✓ Made without mercury, lead, and other heavy metals
    ✓ Made without formaldehyde
    ✓ Made without phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission
    ✓ Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality (less than 0.5 parts per million)

     

    Additionally, our Organic Mattress is made using 100% GOLS Certified organic latex, meaning it will not have any odours associated with lower-quality memory foam.

  • What are the dimensions of the mattress?
