What Is the Ashley Furniture Mattress Class Action Settlement?
Did you buy a memory-foam or hybrid mattress from Ashley Furniture, Nectar, DreamCloud, or Siena
Sleep between late 2017 and mid-2024 and later discover the mattress contained fiberglass as a
fire-retardant? You may be eligible for a voucher under a $9 million class action settlement now
open for claims. The deadline to file is July 17, 2026.
The Ashley Furniture mattress lawsuit, captioned Todd v. Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC,
Case No. 3:24-cv-00615, is pending in the United States District Court for the Western District
of Wisconsin. The case names three defendants: Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC; Ashley Global
Retail, LLC; and Resident Home LLC. Resident Home is the parent company of three popular
direct-to-consumer memory foam mattress brands (Nectar Sleep, DreamCloud, and Siena Sleep), and
many consumers do not realize that the four brand names share corporate ownership.
The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants used fiberglass as a fire-retardant material in the
inner sock of certain memory-foam and hybrid mattresses without adequately warning consumers about
the risks of fiberglass exposure when the outer mattress cover is removed. Mattress covers with
zippers, the plaintiffs argued, invited consumers to remove them for laundering, which then
released fiberglass shards into homes. Ashley, Ashley Global Retail, and Resident Home all deny
wrongdoing and are settling without admitting liability.
30-Second Self-Test: Do I Qualify for the Ashley Mattress Settlement?
If you can answer yes to all three questions, you likely qualify for the Ashley Furniture mattress
settlement.
• Did you purchase a mattress from Ashley Furniture, Nectar Sleep, DreamCloud, or Siena
Sleep between October 1, 2017 and June 30, 2024? The class period spans nearly seven
years and covers all four brands operated by the named defendants.
• Did the mattress contain fiberglass in the inner sock as a fire-retardant? Many
memory-foam and hybrid mattresses from these brands used fiberglass as a fire-retardant during
the class period. If you removed the cover and saw small shards of glass-like material, or if you
saw "fiberglass" listed in the product warnings, your mattress likely contains it. The
Settlement Administrator can verify against purchase records.
• Did you purchase the mattress in the United States as an end consumer? Wholesale,
commercial, and resale purchases are excluded. The class is limited to individual end consumers
in the United States.
If you answered yes to all three, head to the official Settlement Website to file your claim by
July 17, 2026. Class members do not need to remember the exact mattress model or have purchase
receipts to file. The Settlement Administrator can verify claims against purchase records using
the email address used at checkout.
Why Fiberglass in Mattresses Triggered Multiple Class Actions
Federal regulation 16 CFR section 1632.3 requires all mattresses sold in the United States to
include flame-retardant materials capable of withstanding open flame and smoldering cigarette
ignition tests. Higher-end mattress manufacturers typically meet that requirement using
wool-based barriers, rayon barriers, or specialty fire socks made of nonwoven fabric. Many
affordable bed-in-the-box manufacturers, however, opted to use fiberglass woven into the inner
sock of the mattress because fiberglass is inexpensive, lightweight, and effectively fire-resistant.
The plaintiffs' theory in Todd v. Ashley Furniture is that fiberglass-containing mattresses
create a foreseeable contamination risk because of the way they are constructed. The outer cover
is typically zippered, which suggests to a reasonable consumer that the cover can be removed for
laundering. When a consumer removes the cover, however, the inner fiberglass sock is exposed,
and the tiny glass shards can become airborne. Once airborne, the shards can spread throughout a
home, embedding in carpet, drapery, upholstered furniture, and clothing. Remediation in severe
cases has cost consumers thousands of dollars, including replacement of soft furnishings and
professional cleaning.
Similar lawsuits have been filed against other bed-in-the-box manufacturers, including Zinus.
Resident Home (parent of Nectar, DreamCloud, and Siena) was named alongside Ashley in the
Todd case because Ashley and Resident Home jointly distributed certain mattresses through
both companies' retail channels. The settlement resolves claims against all three corporate
defendants.
Which Mattress Brands Are Covered? (Ashley, Nectar, DreamCloud, Siena)
The settlement explicitly covers Affected Mattresses sold through any of the following channels
and brands during the class period:
• Ashley Furniture mattresses sold through AshleyFurniture.com, Ashley HomeStores
(corporate-owned), and authorized Ashley retail channels. This includes the Ashley Sleep brand
and various Ashley-branded memory foam and hybrid models. Class members searching for "Ashley
fiberglass mattress settlement" or "Ashley Sleep fiberglass" landed on the right page.
• Nectar Sleep mattresses sold through NectarSleep.com and authorized retail channels.
Nectar is one of the most popular direct-to-consumer memory foam brands and was one of the
mattresses most frequently associated with fiberglass-exposure complaints during the class
period. The Nectar mattress fiberglass complaints that have circulated on consumer forums for
years are the same product issue this settlement addresses.
• DreamCloud mattresses sold through DreamCloudSleep.com and authorized retail
channels. DreamCloud's hybrid models in particular used fiberglass in the inner sock during the
class period. DreamCloud fiberglass complaints have also been widely reported, and DreamCloud
buyers are class members in this settlement.
• Siena Sleep mattresses sold through SienaSleep.com and authorized retail channels.
Siena is a budget-tier Resident Home brand commonly sold through Amazon and other third-party
online retailers.
The vouchers issued under the settlement are redeemable at any of the four brand websites:
AshleyFurniture.com, NectarSleep.com, DreamCloudSleep.com, or SienaSleep.com. A class member who
received a voucher through an Ashley mattress purchase can use it on a Nectar, DreamCloud, or
Siena product, and vice versa. There is no minimum purchase required to use the voucher.
Who Is Included in the Settlement Class?
The Settlement Class is defined as all individual end consumers who purchased an Affected
Mattress in the United States from October 1, 2017 to June 30, 2024, where the mattress was
designed, manufactured, produced, distributed, sold, or marketed by the defendants and contained
fiberglass as a fire-retardant material in the inner sock of the mattress.
Three structural requirements apply:
• U.S. purchase by an individual end consumer. Wholesale buyers, hotel and hospitality
buyers, retailers reselling the product, and corporate or institutional buyers are not class
members.
• Class period of October 1, 2017 to June 30, 2024. Mattresses purchased before
October 1, 2017 or after June 30, 2024 are not covered.
• Fiberglass in the inner sock specifically. The class is defined by the construction
of the mattress, not by whether the consumer experienced an actual fiberglass leak. A class
member who never removed the mattress cover and never had a contamination event still qualifies
as long as the mattress contained fiberglass in the inner sock during the class period.
What Benefits Does the Ashley Mattress Settlement Provide?
Eligible class members who file a valid claim by July 17, 2026 receive one voucher per Affected
Mattress purchased during the class period. The exact dollar value of each voucher is determined
after the claim window closes:
• Pro rata voucher value. The $9 million Common Voucher Fund is divided by the total
number of valid claims (each Affected Mattress counts as one claim slot). For example, if 90,000
valid claims are submitted, each voucher would be worth $100. If 180,000 valid claims are
submitted, each voucher would be worth $50. The actual per-claim value will not be known until
after the July 17, 2026 deadline passes and the Administrator processes claims.
• No minimum purchase required. The voucher can be applied to any single purchase at
AshleyFurniture.com, NectarSleep.com, DreamCloudSleep.com, or SienaSleep.com with no minimum order
value.
• Possible pro rata cash component. If the court awards Class Counsel less than $3
million in attorneys' fees and costs, the difference is redistributed to class members as a pro
rata cash payment. This is an unusual structure designed to ensure that settlement value flows to
class members rather than fee shortfalls reverting to the defendants.
• One voucher per Affected Mattress. A class member who purchased two qualifying
mattresses (such as one Ashley and one Nectar) is entitled to two vouchers. Larger families with
multiple mattress purchases during the class period stand to benefit proportionally.
How to File an Ashley Mattress Class Action Claim
Filing a claim under the Ashley Furniture mattress settlement is a single-step online process.
Class members do not need to provide receipts, photos of the mattress, or model numbers; only
three pieces of information are required.
• Online (recommended): Visit the official Mattress Class Action Settlement portal and complete the
online Claim Form. The form requires only your name, mailing address, and email address.
• By mail: A paper Claim Form is available for download from the Settlement Website
and may be mailed to the address listed on the form, postmarked no later than July 17, 2026.
The Settlement Administrator (Epiq) will verify class membership using the email address provided
and Ashley, Nectar, DreamCloud, and Siena's purchase records. If you have receipts or order
confirmations and want to attach them, the online portal accepts uploads, but they are not
required.
Key Ashley Mattress Settlement Deadlines
• Submit a claim by: July 17, 2026
• Opt out of the settlement by: July 17, 2026
• Object to the settlement by: July 17, 2026
• Final Approval Hearing: September 24, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. CDT, before the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin
All three deadlines fall on the same date, which is unusual. Class members who do not act by
July 17, 2026 are deemed to have remained in the class without filing a claim, meaning they will
be bound by the settlement but will not receive any voucher.
When Will I Receive My Ashley Mattress Settlement Voucher?
Vouchers will be distributed only after the court grants final approval at the September 24,
2026 fairness hearing and any appeals are resolved. If approval is granted on schedule and no
appeals are filed, vouchers would likely be distributed in late 2026 or early 2027. The Settlement
Administrator (Epiq) will calculate the per-voucher dollar value based on total valid claims and
issue the vouchers electronically to the email address class members provided when filing.
Federal class action settlements of this scale typically see voucher distribution within 60 to
120 days of final approval, once the appeals window has closed. If appeals are filed, the
timeline can extend by a year or more.
What Happens If I Do Nothing?
If you do nothing, you remain in the class and will be bound by the settlement if the court
approves it, but you will not receive a voucher. You will also give up your right to sue Ashley,
Ashley Global Retail, or Resident Home for any claims relating to the fiberglass content of the
covered mattresses. If you want the voucher, you must submit a valid claim by July 17, 2026.
For class members who currently own a fiberglass-containing mattress and have not experienced a
contamination event, doing nothing is not the optimal choice. A claim takes only a few minutes,
requires no documentation, and the voucher (whatever the final pro rata value) can be used toward
a fiberglass-free replacement at any of the four brand sites. Class members who experienced an
actual fiberglass-leak contamination event with significant property damage may want to consider
opting out and pursuing individual claims separately, particularly if their damages substantially
exceed any reasonable voucher value.
How to Opt Out or Object to the Settlement
Class members who do not want to be bound by the settlement have two options other than filing a
claim or doing nothing: opting out (excluding themselves from the class) or objecting (staying in
the class but raising concerns with the court). Both must be in writing, and both have the same
July 17, 2026 deadline.
Opting out means the class member gives up the right to receive a voucher but retains the right
to sue Ashley, Ashley Global Retail, and Resident Home individually for the same legal claims.
Class members with significant documented property damage from a fiberglass leak (remediation
costs, replaced furnishings, medical bills) may have stronger individual claims that justify
opting out and pursuing damages separately.
Objecting means the class member stays in the class and remains eligible for the voucher but
tells the court that some part of the settlement is unfair or inadequate. The objection must
include the class member's contact information, the basis for the objection, and a statement of
whether the class member intends to appear at the September 24, 2026 fairness hearing.
Other Ashley Furniture and Mattress Class Action Settlements
The fiberglass mattress settlement is one of several class actions involving Ashley Furniture and
mattress retailers in recent years. OCA covers related class actions on separate pages:
• The
Ashley Furniture false-pricing class action settlement
(Aberl v. Ashley Furniture Industries) covered consumers who purchased products at allegedly
misleading "discount" prices through ashleyfurniture.com or Ashley corporate-owned stores
between 2017 and 2022. That settlement closed for claims in December 2023 and is unrelated to the
fiberglass mattress matter, but the same defendant is involved.
• The
Sealy 1250 thread count bedding class action settlement
covers a separate textiles claim regarding allegedly misrepresented thread count on Sealy bedding
products. Class members who own multiple bedding products may qualify for both settlements.
A consumer who purchased multiple Ashley products (such as both a fiberglass-containing mattress
and a discounted living-room set) may have qualified for the older false-pricing settlement and
also qualify for the current fiberglass settlement. The two settlements are independent.
Lawyers Representing the Class
The court has appointed Class Counsel to represent the Settlement Class. Class members are not
personally responsible for paying Class Counsel; attorneys' fees in cases of this kind are paid
from the Settlement Fund subject to court approval. Class Counsel will request fees and costs not
to exceed $3 million from the $9 million Common Voucher Fund. If the court awards less than $3
million, the difference flows to claimants as a pro rata cash component (a structural feature
specifically designed to keep settlement value flowing to class members rather than reverting to
the defendants).
