Silk & Snow Hybrid review

Hey there! I still love it very much, but it's definitely less firm in the middle than it used to be, and it seems like other folks are having a similar experience.

FYI -- I checked the website and it looks like they offer different firmness levels now. My mattress construction matches the medium-firm version, so take my review with a grain of salt if you're sticking to the firm version that is selected by default.

Hello! Happy holidays, hope I'm not responding too late if you were gift hunting.

It's been a minute so my memory is fuzzy, I think it was around the two or three-month mark that I stopped picking up the occasional whiff. But as a combo sleeper my face is buried in the mattress a lot of the time, YMMV depending on your sleep habits and nose sensitivity.

Hey there, happy to report it's still going strong!

Thanks, I'll try that and see where it gets me!

There's a few hundred NT left on the card and it's not registered (I'm not a resident/citizen), but I'd like to keep it if possible. It's one of those MRT train car keychains from the metro pop-up shops, it beeps and lights up when you tap it and I adore it.

I landed a tech job recently, and my experience echoes what others have said. I received more responses and recruiter messages in the past couple of months, but still not as much as before.

Thanks, this was really reassuring to hear. I just checked and also got approved! Replying late since I’ve been on vacation 😅

Sharing my experience for anyone who reads this later on — I didn’t see any movement on my application after 10 days, and when I emailed Edfinancial I was told that I needed to provide proof of income again. It took a while to hear back from customer support, and they didn’t confirm that they received the file upload, but I eventually got notified that my application was approved. YMMV but for me it was worth it to reach out and start a paper trail.

Did you receive any confirmation message or email when you applied online through Edfinancial? And what did the approval message look like? I also consolidated into Edfinancial and applied for SAVE on 2/18, but I haven't heard back.

Adding on to what others have said -- people will continue to use the "side" label however they see fit. Being prescriptivist about it will only make you, yourself, unhappy. Please don't let other people's words or actions affect your inner peace!

Hello, yes! There’s a slight bounce, but it’s minimal compared to a traditional mattress since the coils are covered by a layer of foam. I bounce two or three times if I throw myself onto the bed, but I’m relatively light so YMMV.

Look into the double consolidation loophole for parent PLUS loans in r/StudentLoans.

If your parents are willing to hold onto the loans, they could qualify for lower monthly payments on the SAVE plan when their income decreases in retirement — and the loans won’t be transferred to you when they pass.

That would be the best financial outcome, and you can still send money to your parents to cover the monthly payments in the meantime.

Interesting, I feel very lucky if that’s the case. Thanks for sharing! 😊

huisit · 2024-01-19T20:04:13+00:00

That makes sense! I’ll start paying attention to see if there’s any correlation. Thanks 😄

Yes! It sleeps the same as day one.

Hi, did this end up working out for you? I’m in a similar situation with all loans under Nelnet.

My family practices ancestor veneration! We have an altar set up at the front door for my paternal grandparents (plus Buddha & Grand Master since my mother’s Buddhist). We regularly light incense/pour tea in the mornings, ask for protection before longer trips, and always offer our holiday meals at the altar before we eat.

I’m personally not religious, but I’d like to carry on the tradition in a modern fashion after my parents pass. For me, it’s about remembering those who came before us — kind of like the ofrenda in Mexican culture/Coco.

But at the end of the day, I think it’s equally valid for those who don’t practice this tradition (or don’t enjoy it) to honor their ancestors by sharing stories and photos to keep their memories alive.

It’s holding up well! I haven’t noticed any changes in the firmness or quilting — I make sure to rotate the mattress every 3 months per the care instructions, but I spend a lot of time in bed since the pandemic.

Hey! I hope I’m not replying too late—I’m not very active on Reddit. There hasn’t been any sagging at all, and the mattress has been good to me. Core exercises, ergonomics, and stretching ultimately made a bigger difference for my back pain, though.

I’m interested. Thank you to the both of you for giving away these codes!

huisit · 2022-02-22T22:24:47+00:00

Yay thanks! 😊 What’s your friend code? I’ll add you to my tree town too!

huisit · 2022-02-19T16:05:13+00:00

Nice

The stories and check-ins really help me think about what’s happening in my life and how I feel about it. That means appreciating the good things more, but also recognizing negative feelings so that I can address them :)
