As the bed-in-a-box is gaining its popularity in Canada, more new brands are becoming available in the market. Many of the new brands are made from different parts of the world, with varying degrees of quality assurance practices.

The Bloom mattresses are made in China and the foam used in the mattress is not CertiPUR-US certified.

Silk & Snow is a Canadian owned and operated business and we choose to partner with local Canadian manufacturers to make a 100% Canadian-made mattress. Our foam is poured and our fabric is spun locally, in Toronto, Ontario. We partner with Canadian supplier that have equally high standards and provide full transparency in the materials used and in their manufacturer processes, right down to the environmental impact and testing for harmful chemicals. Each of the Silk & Snow mattresses are CertiPUR-US certified, which means the foams have been tested to be:

• 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)

When buying a memory foam mattress, one of the best indicators of quality is the density or weight of the foam used. The density of the foam plays a substantial role in determining the durability and support provided by your mattress. Most buyer’s search for a new mattress starts when the materials in their own mattress have begun to fail and no longer provide the same level of support that it once provided. This is because foam will soften and provide less support for your weight over time. Although the mattress may not sag, your body will feel this as it will start to sink through the comfort layer of your mattress and into the much firmer lower layers.

The density of memory foam is expressed in pounds per cubic foot (lbs/ft3). For instance, if the foam density of a mattress is 4 pounds per cubic foot, it means that every foot of foam will weigh 5 pounds. Higher density foams are heavier and feel more substantial, and often more expensive to source. Foam mattresses which are made with a higher-density foam will cradle the weight of the sleeper, over a longer period. The top layer of the Silk & Snow mattress is made with a 2-inch layer of 4 lb memory foam. The most expensive model amongst the Bloom Cloud, Air, Mist, and Earth is the Bloom Cloud. The top layer of the Bloom Cloud is a 1-inch layer of 2.5 lb gel memory foam.

When you are partnered up with Canadian manufacturers to put together a product, there are tremendous comfort that the product will get done right and last longer. At S&S we stand by our product and we offer one of the longest warranty periods available in the market. 15-Year warranty is just to show you how confidence we are about our bed-in-a-box products. The Bloom mattress can only offer a 10-Year warranty, this doesn’t give a lot of confidence of the quality of the craftmanship and the materials are used to put the mattress together.

S&S truly believes there is no better way to try out a mattress than sleeping on it for at least a couple months. This is the reason why we are offering a 100-night sleep trial and customers will have enough time to enjoy the mattress and make sure it is right for them as well. We believe most of the people who bought S&S will fall in love with the new mattress. In some rare occasions, the mattress may not be right for everyone and we are happy to help you to return your mattress and offer a full refund. Although, the Bloom mattress offers the same 100-night sleep trial, however, only a store credit will be offered.

Many people have chosen to purchase mattresses through the bed-in-a-box channel because they want to avoid to awkward brick and mortar experience and the pushy sale people. Receiving a store credit and forcing you to go back to the store is contrary to the idea of purchasing a bed-in-a-box.

If you want you want to exchange to different models of the Bloom mattress, you are still obligated to pay a fee for exchange. In S&S, you can switch between the S&S mattress and the S&S Hybrid free of charge as well.
