Ashley Chime Mattress Lawsuit: $9M Settlement and How to File

The Ashley Chime mattress lawsuit has been resolved through a $9 million class action settlement covering Ashley, Nectar, DreamCloud, and Siena mattresses alleged to contain fiberglass fire barriers that could escape the cover and contaminate homes. If you bought a covered mattress between October 1, 2017, and June 30, 2024, you can file a claim for a store voucher by July 17, 2026, at MattressClassActionSettlement.com.¹

Is Your Mattress Covered

The settlement applies to U.S. consumers who bought one of more than 70 specific mattress models between October 1, 2017, and June 30, 2024. On the Ashley side, that includes the Chime and Chime Elite series, MyGel, Millennium, iKidz, and “The Perfect 10.” On the Resident Home side, it includes Nectar’s Classic, Hybrid, Luxe, Premier, and Copper lines; DreamCloud’s Classic, Hybrid, Luxe, Premier, and Rest models; and Siena’s Hybrid Plush, Signature Memory Foam, and Essential Memory Foam.¹

Check the white tag sewn into the seam of your mattress for the SKU or model number, then look it up on the settlement website. Only mattresses with fiberglass in the inner sock surrounding the foam are included.²

How to File a Claim

Claims can be filed online at MattressClassActionSettlement.com or mailed to Epiq Class Action & Claims Solutions, P.O. Box 5735, Portland, OR 97228-5735. The deadline is July 17, 2026.²

If you received an email notice from the settlement administrator, you don’t need to provide proof of purchase. Everyone else needs to submit documentation: a sales receipt, a store record, or a photo of the mattress label showing the SKU or serial number. If none of that is available, the claim form will ask you to describe the brand, size, model, store, location, and approximate purchase date.³

You get one voucher per covered mattress purchased.⁴

What You Actually Get

The settlement is a voucher, not a cash refund. The $9 million “Common Voucher Fund” is divided among valid claims on a pro rata basis, so the individual voucher amount depends on how many people file. Fewer claims means larger vouchers.⁴

Vouchers can be redeemed at AshleyFurniture.com, NectarSleep.com, DreamCloudSleep.com, or SienaSleep.com. There’s no minimum purchase requirement, and each voucher stays valid for one year after it’s issued.⁵

There is one path to a cash payment. Class counsel plans to request up to $3 million in attorneys’ fees, paid separately by the defendants. If the court awards less, the difference is distributed to class members as pro rata cash on top of their vouchers.⁴

Vouchers won’t be sent out until after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved. The settlement notice warns that could take a year or more.⁵

What the Lawsuit Alleged

The complaint, filed August 30, 2024, by lead plaintiff Jaime Todd, alleged that Ashley Furniture Industries, Ashley Global Retail, and Resident Home sold mattresses with a fiberglass inner sock used as a fire-retardant barrier. Consumers who unzipped and removed the outer cover, often to wash it, could release fiberglass fibers into their homes. The suit brought claims for failure to warn, design defect, negligence, breach of warranty, unjust enrichment, violations of state consumer protection statutes, and violation of the Consumer Product Safety Act under 15 U.S.C. § 2073.³

A September 2022 complaint filed with the Consumer Product Safety Commission described the aftermath on a 12-inch Signature Design Chime Memory Foam mattress. After the zippered cover was removed, a “plume of fiberglass” left the home “covered in millions of tiny shards” and, in the consumer’s words, “unliveable.” A two-year-old in the household was treated in an emergency department for wheezing and a persistent cough. The consumer said there were “ZERO warning labels” advising against removing the cover.⁶

A 2023 investigation by Pittsburgh station WTAE documented similar reports: burning eyes, itchy skin, rashes, and one child whose asthma flared badly enough to require an emergency room visit. Dr. Deborah Gentile, an asthma and allergy specialist, told the station that children are a “special potential risk group.” Fibers embedded in furniture, curtains, clothing, and air ducts, and one family reported remediation and replacement costs above $25,000.⁷

The defendants deny all the claims and any wrongdoing. According to the settlement notice, they agreed to resolve the case “for purposes of judicial efficiency” and to “avoid the cost, risk, and time of continued litigation.” The court has not found that any law was violated.⁸

Key Dates and Current Status

The case, Todd v. Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC, et al., is pending before Judge William M. Conley in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. Preliminary approval was granted on March 19, 2026.⁹

Three dates matter for class members:

July 17, 2026 — deadline to file a claim, object to the settlement, or opt out.²
September 24, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. CDT — final approval hearing at the U.S. Federal Courthouse, 120 N. Henry St., Madison, Wisconsin.⁵
After final approval and the resolution of any appeals — vouchers are distributed.⁵

If you do nothing, you’ll be bound by the settlement and give up the right to sue the defendants over these claims, but you won’t receive a voucher. Two class members have already filed objections: Michael Trimm on May 11, 2026, and Jeffery Carl Gealow on May 14, 2026.¹⁰
