Silk and Snow has been selling mattresses online since 2017. They started with the all foam Silk and Snow mattress and this past year introduced the Silk and Snow Hybrid. Silk and Snow is very intentional about where they source their material and manufacture their mattresses. The hybrid model is made with foam, coils and fabric from Canada and is made in Canada. This mattress is great for sleepers that prefer a slighty firmer, more supportive feel that will sleep cool all night long. Given the construction and specs, this mattress is an incredible value.

Overview of the Silk and Snow Hybrid

Here’s a video overview of the Silk and Snow and what to expect.

You can order this mattress directly from their website. After you place your order, your mattress should arrive in about a week or two depending on where you live. The mattress comes roll packed but not folded. This means that the box will be the full width of the mattress. In my case, I was given a king size to review which made the box longer than most. Given the weight and size of the box, I advise 2 people to move it into your bedroom. In my case, I removed it from the box before I brought it in the house since the box was dirty and the mattress itself is still roll packed in plastic and won’t come loose until you cut the plastic open.

My Silk and Snow Hybrid Findings

This mattress has extra features that you don’t often see at this price point. For example, you get 1,200 pocket coils in the king size and zoned support. This really makes a difference. You get better contouring and less motion transfer. This mattress is also made with a rigid foam perimeter for better edge support so you can maximize the use of the mattress.

The cover has a soft, silky feel with a silver infused cover that keeps the mattress fresh. Despite this, I still recommend using a mattress protector.

This mattress does provide contouring but I slept more, “on” the mattress than, “in” it. Because there is less of my body surrounded by the mattress, it just naturally sleeps cooler.

My Silk and Snow Hybrid Recommendation

I highly recommend this mattress for people looking for a firmer mattress that sleeps cool, provides great support, especially for your hips, and does not sleep hot. After discounts, you can get this mattress for $700 in a queen size which places it in my budget mattress category but not really because the specs on the mattress are right up there with some of the other top brands. This mattress comes with a now standard 100-night trial which means free shipping to you and free returns with a full refund if you don’t like it within the 100 night time period. This mattress is made in Canada with material sourced in Canada all for an incredible price.

The Hotel Down Comforter

The Hotel Down Comforter is Pacific Coast’s best selling product and it’s no wonder. Designed to be suitable for all climates, it’s density was intended to keep you warm and comfortable, without making you overheat or without it ending up on the floor by morning.

Overview of Hotel Down Comforter

Pacific Coast’s actual name is Pacific Coast Feather Company and they’ve been around since 1884. That being the case, they’re experts in the products that they create, they manufacture them themselves. Because of this, they absolutely offer a warranty. First off, they offer a 30 Night Comfort Guarantee Trial period. In addition to that, they also offer a 30 Day Allergy Free Limited Warranty, and a 3 Year Limited Warranty.

The comforter is made in the USA of imported materials and it’s price ranges from $189.99 for a Twin, to $299.99 for a King. 

  • Twin: $189.99
  • Full:   $199.99
  • Queen: $249.99
  • King: $299.99

Construction of The Hotel Down Comforter

Pacific Coast utilizes what they call a Barrier Weave® Fabric. This refers to a fabric that is weaved so intelligently that it’s highly unlikely for down to escape from the comforter itself. In old and poorly designed comforters, whether they contain down or another material, you’ve most likely experienced what it’s like when you shake out a comforter, either to freshen it or when you’re making the bed. With their comforters, this is a rare and unlikely experience. 

They put their goose down through a process called the Hyperclean® Process. This is a rigorous cleaning process that removes dirt, dust and any other allergens that could irritate you or that could compromise the condition of the comforter in the short and long term. To further emphasize their (well-intended and much respected) OCD nature when it comes to how they clean, they also provide their customers with a 30 Day Allergy-Free Warranty.

The comforter is stitched with a Sewn Through Box design. This means that the comforter has a grid-like pattern all throughout it, so that the down doesn’t shift from one side to the other. That means it’s evenly dispersed throughout the entire surface area of the blanket.

My Pacific Coast Hotel Down Comforter Recommendation

Having reviewed another down comforter by Pacific Coast in the past, I already knew what to expect in terms of quality because they make high quality products. The first comforter that I tried however, was so comforting that it enveloped you. It was honestly overwhelming. Sleeping through the night, I found that it was too much. It kept me warm but warmer than I needed, to the point where it wasn’t effective anymore. Had I lived in Ottawa (Canada) that comforter would have been perfect but I don’t. Living in New York, however, the Hotel Down Comforter is just right. It’s true that there’s a bit of change in terms of the material. It’s not as light as the first comforter I have tried but the material used for this one isn’t bad, it’s just different. 

When I first opened the comforter, I could already tell there was a lot less down than I expected (keep in mind, the first comforter that I tried from this brand was HUGE!) but this was GOOD because down keeps you warm and you don’t need a tremendous amount of it. That’s the key thing. Remember that: you don’t need a lot. Goose down is like salt, you only need a little to make a huge difference. 

The first time I laid down with this comforter over me, I was so pleasantly surprised. The comforter didn’t consume me! It was actually quite nice. The company choose the perfect density of goose down. I have to say that I was quite impressed. It kept me warm and comfortable. I didn’t feel like it was too much in the slightest and I do believe that it would be great for spring, fall and winter. Summer here is obviously hot so we need not worry about that but overall, I’m really impressed.

If there was one thing that I would change is, I would have loved to see this comforter available in an alternate stitch pattern. This one is known for its box stitch pattern but I’m really fond of the stitch pattern that includes a border along the perimeter of the comforter. I feel like in terms of longevity and overall comfort, that would be ideal but that’s just a preference, not necessarily a need/requirement in order for it to work as it’s intended to.
