About Silk & Snow
Silk & Snow was founded on the belief that transparency shouldn't be a luxury. That's why our highly-curated sleep-essentials are manufactured thoughtfully using high quality, sustainable materials. Our mattresses are locally-made in our hometown of Toronto, by experienced Canadian craftsmen using the best traceable, locally-sourced materials.
We continue to fine-tune the bed-in-a-box landscape by creating products that break the mould; such as Canada's first 100% organic bed-in-a-box mattress and our 100% natural cotton handwoven weighted blanket. Innovation is always at the forefront of our operations, from bed frames to pillows and everything in between, we are North America's favourite one-stop bedding company.
With a proven track record of growth and scalability, we recently made the top 10 list of Canada's Fastest Growing Companies in 2020.
