Silk & Snow® is a new Canadian mattress brand offering polyurethane foam mattresses and a mattress intended to mimic the distinctive look of the Avocado Green Mattress — the highest-rated organic mattress in the United States (Consumer Reports 2018 - 2024). There are significant differences between the two brands:
Silk & Snow vs Avocado Green Mattress
Silk & Snow uses up to 73% less organic latex — less than one inch! — and fewer individually wrapped coils and ergonomic zones for critical back support. It does not hand-tuft its mattresses for quality and durability. Silk & Snow's warranty is 10 years shorter than Avocado. More importantly, Silk & Snow's "organic mattress" does not offer OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, EWG Verified®, MADE SAFE®, GREENGUARD Gold, or Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verification to validate its claims for health and safety. Silk & Snow is also not a Certified B Corporation or Climate Neutral Certified, nor does it provide verified giving through 1% for the Planet®.
