The Digitally Local Paradox <\/b><\/h2>\n

The rise of the COVID-19 pandemic quickly made us recognize two equally important yet contradictory realities: the need to <\/span>support local businesses, <\/span><\/i>and the convenience and accessibility of <\/span>shopping online<\/span><\/i>. Shopping locally allows you to know where your money is going, where your products are coming from, and that these products are likely made with love. On the other hand, shopping online can often feel like a more straightforward and curated experience that you can engage with anytime, anywhere, despite not fully knowing where your money is going and\/or who you are truly supporting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Often, when we\u2019re deciding on whether to purchase from a local vendor or an online retailer, it can feel like choosing between what\u2019s right and what\u2019s easy. The stress of making the decision is almost enough to make someone lose sleep. Fortunately, when considering a mattress with us at Silk & Snow, you don\u2019t have to choose.<\/span><\/p>\n

S&S: Mattresses Made in Canada<\/b><\/h2>\n

Founded in 2017<\/span><\/a> as a digitally native retailer, we at Silk & Snow knew we had to define ourselves in a way that would connect and resonate with our customers. This was done by carefully curating our products using traceable and high-quality materials while pledging a commitment to our historic Canadian industries. This meant that as the world changed, our process of offering you the <\/span>best Canadian mattress<\/span><\/a> didn\u2019t have to. In keeping with our local sensibilities against the backdrop of a thoroughly curated product line and an incredibly talented workforce, we try to achieve the perfect balance between an attentive brick-and-mortar vendor and an expertly coordinated online retailer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Canadian looking for a mattress, there\u2019s no better option than local \u2013 and if you\u2019re shopping local, there\u2019s no better option than Silk & Snow. With an S&S mattress, you\u2019re not only receiving a quality Canadian mattress made from traceable, eco-friendly, and ethical materials, but you also gain all the benefits of shopping locally. This means obtaining your products faster, supporting the local economy, reducing carbon emissions, and receiving an increased level of customer service and care. We prioritize locality while offering a range of thoughtfully made products that inspire a beautiful and comfortable home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Canadian Crafted Comfort<\/b><\/h2>\n

At Silk & Snow, we\u2019re proud of many things, but our commitment to being a<\/span> truly Canadian brand<\/span><\/a> is at the forefront of that pride. This doesn\u2019t mean that we have a Maple Leaf as our logo and only sell to Canadians though – our commitment to Canada is a little more subtle and far more crucial than that. Silk & Snow is a Canadian brand because all of our mattresses are manufactured in Canada, sourced from <\/span>Canadian materials, by family-owned Toronto-based businesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If not for the skilled craftspeople and long-standing mattress industry of Toronto, Canada, there would likely be no Silk & Snow. Sewn into the fabric of our brand from the very beginning was an understanding that these talented Canadians would be at the heart of every S&S mattress. It was critical for us to be able to carefully design our mattresses with Toronto manufacturers in mind, so we could support the local and highly skilled Canadian craftspeople while upholding the meticulous quality control that other large retailers are unable to prioritize.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Albert speaks with Mangal as helping hands usher an S&S mattress out for delivery.<\/p><\/div>\n

We like to believe that by cultivating close relationships with the manufacturers in our cotton, spring, and mattress assembly factories, we are upholding one of our core principles: <\/span>transparency<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/i> By maintaining communication and connection within these partnerships, there comes enhanced levels of understanding and knowledge that we are then able to relay to our customers to allow for the most informed decisions possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

This insistence on transparency not only strengthens our relationship with our own partners, it also allows for the customer\u2019s voice to be heard loud and clear, allowing us to execute changes, rectify issues, and take feedback into account at a moment\u2019s notice. Our proximity to our Canadian manufacturers and suppliers allows us to keep crucial aspects of product development at arms-length. For instance, we can test our mattresses first-hand, evaluate alterations to certain components, and ensure the locally crafted packaging doesn\u2019t compromise the integrity of your Canadian mattress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many retailers that operate overseas need to have their mattresses constructed, packaged, and accounted for months in advance, often with little intervention from the company itself during this time. While this method may work for these other retailers, at Silk & Snow, we pride ourselves in bringing you the most carefully-curated and locally-crafted Canadian mattresses \u2013 something that can\u2019t be ordered in bulk and constructed thousands of miles away. With fewer shipping costs for you and less carbon emissions from us, we\u2019re not planning on changing our methods any time soon!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re looking for a Canadian mattress that\u2019s locally crafted, ethically sourced, and thoughtfully curated, why not choose one that\u2019s \u2018truly Canadian\u2019? Whether you\u2019re looking for the <\/span>best organic mattress<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>best hybrid mattress<\/span><\/a>, or simply the <\/span>best mattress overall<\/span><\/a>, we offer a 100-night trial so you can see firsthand why Silk & Snow is trusted by many to provide the best Canadian mattresses on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n
