The medium-low loft makes it ideal for those who sleep on their stomachs, as well as some back sleepers. The foam insert is made with eco-conscious soy-infused memory foam, while the cover is a soothing TENCEL blend that feels cool and comfortable on your skin.

Our Methodology

We test pillows with a range of real-world and simulation testing. We look at the materials and construction first, and then we dive into performance tests. Durability, cooling, loft, and firmness are some of the performance areas we test. Once we have run our tests on these pillows, we send them home with our testing team. They can test them for longer and see how they hold up over time.

Silk & Snow Eco Soy Pillow Prices and Sizes

The Silk & Snow Eco Soy Pillow is available in two sizes and two firmness options. No matter which firmness option you choose, the price per size remains the same. There is no upcharge for selecting the Soft version of the pillow, as there often is with other pillows. 

Here, we’ve listed the size options, dimensions, and pricing of each available Eco Soy pillow.

Materials

The Silk & Snow Eco Soy pillow is made of a few different materials. The cover is made with a blend of materials, which include 38% TENCEL Lyocell and 62% polyester. It’s a smooth, comfortable cover that feels great but doesn’t require any additional care instructions. You can zip it off and throw it into the wash with the rest of your sheets when you need to wash them. 

The foam insert is made with CertiPUR certified soy-oil infused memory foam. This memory foam is more sustainable than standard memory foam. Plus, it is available in Firm or Soft. The memory foam is firmer or softer depending on the option you choose.

Performance Test Results

Sizes

You can choose this pillow in either the Queen or King size. Both are a little smaller than standard dimensions for the size, as they are only 16″ wide rather than the standard 20″. The Queen size is 16″ x 24″ and the King size is 16″ x 34″. The size doesn’t change for the firm or soft firmness options.

Loft and Fill

While the Silk & Snow Eco Soy Pillow doesn’t have different loft options, there are two different firmness options. The soy-infused memory foam is softer or firmer, depending on the option you choose. The loft remains medium to low, making this pillow better for back and stomach sleepers. 

Our testers noted that the firmness options were noticeable, so those who need a specific type of pillow should choose the one that appeals to them.

Care Instructions

The Silk & Snow Eco Soy Pillow has a machine-washable cover. The TENCEL and polyester blend cover doesn’t require any special care procedures. It can be washed and dried without following any specific care instructions, so you can throw it in with the rest of your blankets and sheets when it’s time to wash the cover. 

The foam insert cannot be washed and must be spot-cleaned if it becomes dirty.

Certifications

This pillow has a lot of individual certifications. The memory foam insert is CertiPUR certified to be safe and of the highest quality. Meanwhile, the textiles are certified by OEKO-TEX Standard 100, so they are also safe and free of synthetic or harmful chemicals. 

Meanwhile, the TENCEL cover is certified to be sustainably extracted from wood pulp. It is gathered from certified forests that are farmed on a closed-loop system for additional sustainability.

Sleep Trial and Warranty

The Silk & Snow Eco Soy Pillow comes with a 100-night sleep trial, so you’ll have 100 nights from the time you receive your pillow to see if it’s the right option for you. If you don’t like it, you can send it back for a full refund. Your pillow must be in a sanitary condition, one you would feel comfortable donating the pillow. For this reason, we recommend always using a pillowcase.

You’ll have a full 3-year warranty if you keep the pillow. Silk & Snow’s pillow warranty covers a range of problems that could arise during normal use, including material defects or damages due to manufacturing errors.

Should You Buy The Silk & Snow Eco Soy Pillow?

If you are an eco-conscious Canadian, the Silk & Snow Eco Soy Pillow is a good option for you. Every part of this pillow is sustainably gathered and made, from the TENCEL cover to the soy-infused memory foam insert. While the materials aren’t organic, they are made with eco-conscious practices in mind, including being farmed from trees on closed-loop water systems. 

If you sleep on your stomach or back, this pillow will work wonderfully to keep you comfortable and aligned. The firmness choice is a huge factor, too. Make sure to choose the firmness option that works best for you, as your choice definitely makes a difference.

FAQ

Is this an organic pillow?

This isn’t an organic pillow, and it doesn’t claim to be. It uses memory foam infused with natural soy oil, which helps create a more sustainable experience than standard memory foam. The cover also uses TENCEL Lyocell, a sustainable material created from wood pulp.

What type of sleeper is this pillow best for?

This pillow has a medium to low loft, which means it’s ideal for stomach sleepers and back sleepers. Side sleepers need a higher loft to cradle their head and neck without strain, so this pillow is unlikely to work for them. 

Should I use a pillowcase with this pillow?

Yes, we always recommend using a pillowcase with any pillow you purchase. Though this pillow has a removable, washable cover, using a pillowcase prevents excessive wear and ensures that your pillow stays new and clean for longer.

Is there any real difference between the firmness options?

Yes! The Silk & Snow Eco Soy Pillow is available in two distinct firmness options, which you can choose at checkout. These firmness options definitely feel different. If you had them side by side, you’d be able to tell that one is firmer than the other. We encourage you to choose the one that you think works best for you, because there is definitely a difference.
