What is the Sealy 1250 Thread Count Bedding Class Action About?
You may be part of a new $750,000 class action settlement reached with Sealy, a popular mattress, bedding
and textiles company. The class action lawsuit was filed over
allegations that certain Sealy branded bedding products were falsely advertised as having a 1250 thread
count.
The class action claimed that the thread count and quality of these products were overstated on the
packaging and marketing materials in violation of federal and state consumer protection laws. The Sealy brand is
owned by American Textile Company, which agreed to the settlement, but has not admittted any wrongdoing.
The settlement covers Sealy bedding products with a listed 1250 thread count, including but not limited to
the following lines.
You are included in the settlement as a Settlement Class Member if you purchased one or more covered Sealy
1250 thread count bedding products anywhere in the United States between October 19, 2016 and October 30,
2025. The products must have had 1250 thread count listed on the packaging and fall within the Sealy branded
lines described above or similar Sealy bedding advertised as 1250 thread count.
Purchases for resale or other commercial purposes may not qualify. The settlement focuses on consumer
purchases for personal use in the United States.
What Types of Items Included in the Settlement?
The settlement applies broadly to bedding products, including but not limited to:
The key requirement is the 1250 thread count labeling, not the specific model name.
Which Products are Not Included in the Open Class Action?
• Products without 1250 thread count on the packaging
• Products outside the purchase period
• Non-Sealy branded bedding
• Mattresses or other non textile bedding items
If the packaging said 1250 thread count and carried the Sealy name, it may qualify regardless of retailer or
store.
How Much Can I Get Paid?
Settlement Class Members can receive $5 for each covered product purchased during the class period.
• You can claim up to 8 products per household without providing proof of purchase, for a maximum of
$40 without documentation.
• With proof of purchase, such as receipts or online order confirmations, you can claim an unlimited
number of eligible products at $5 each.
Because the settlement fund is capped at $750,000, payments may be adjusted up or down on a pro rata basis
depending on the total number of valid claims approved and the amount left after attorneys fees, costs, and
administration expenses.
How Do I File a Claim?
To get a payment, you must submit a valid Claim Form by the deadline. There are two main ways to file.
• File online at the official settlement website by completing the electronic Claim Form and certifying
the number of eligible Sealy 1250 thread count products you purchased.
• File by mail by requesting or downloading a paper Claim Form and mailing the completed form to the
Settlement Administrator at the address listed in the official notice.
If you wish to claim more than eight products, you will need to attach proof of purchase that shows you
bought additional covered Sealy 1250 thread count bedding during the class period.
What is the Claim Form Deadline?
The claim submission deadline is May 12, 2026. Online claims must be filed on or before that date. Paper
Claim Forms must be mailed and postmarked no later than May 12, 2026.
What are the Important Dates?
Here are the key dates listed in the settlement notice.
• Exclusion request deadline: January 21, 2026
• Objection deadline: January 21, 2026
• Final Approval Hearing: February 11, 2026
• Claim Form deadline: May 12, 2026
Dates can change by order of the Court, so always confirm the most current dates and instructions on the
official settlement website before taking action.
When is the Class Action Settlement Payment Date?
There is no fixed payment date yet. The Court must first hold the Final Approval Hearing on February 11,
2026 and decide whether to grant final approval to the settlement. If the Court approves the settlement and
there are no appeals, payments will be made after the settlement becomes final and all claims have been
processed.
If there are appeals, the process can take longer. The official settlement website will provide updates on
when payments are expected to go out once the settlement is finally approved.
Is Proof Required to File a Claim?
Proof is not required for smaller claims. You can receive up to $40 per household without proof of purchase
by claiming up to eight products at $5 each and certifying your purchases under penalty of perjury.
If you want to claim more than eight products, you will need proof of purchase. Acceptable proof can include
receipts, order confirmations, or other documentation that reasonably shows you bought covered Sealy 1250
thread count bedding products during the class period.
How Many People are Affected?
The exact number of Settlement Class Members is not listed in the public notice. The settlement class
includes all consumers in the United States who bought covered Sealy 1250 thread count bedding products
between October 19, 2016 and October 30, 2025, so the number of affected purchasers is expected to be
significant.
When Will this Class Action Be Certified?
The Court has already preliminarily approved the settlement and authorized notice to the class. The
settlement class will be finally certified for settlement purposes if the Court grants final approval at the
hearing on February 11, 2026 and any appeals are resolved in favor of the settlement.
What are the Odds this Class Action is Settled?
The parties have already reached an agreement in principle and executed a settlement agreement, and the
Court has allowed the case to move forward through the notice and claims process. While there is no
guarantee until final approval and any appeals are complete, settlements at this stage are usually very
likely to be completed, provided the Court finds the terms fair, reasonable, and adequate.
What is the Anticipated Settlement Amount?
The anticipated settlement fund is $750,000. This amount will be used to pay notice and administration
costs, any Court approved attorneys fees and expenses, any service awards to the class representatives, and
then cash payments to Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims.
How Much Will Each Class Action Claimant be Paid?
Each valid claimant is expected to receive $5 per eligible product.
• Up to 8 products per household (maximum $40) without proof of purchase
• An unlimited number of products with proof of purchase at $5 each
Because the settlement fund is limited, individual payments may be adjusted on a pro rata basis depending on
how many valid claims are filed and the net amount left in the fund after Court approved deductions. This
means your actual payment could be slightly higher or lower than the nominal $5 per product amount.
