Frequently Asked Questions

Has the claim deadline for the Ashley mattress fiberglass settlement passed?

The claim deadline in Todd v. Ashley Furniture Industries LLC was July 17, 2026 and it has passed, so no new claims can be filed. The exclusion and objection deadlines are separate and later: the administrator lists both as September 16, 2026.

What is the Ashley mattress fiberglass settlement about?

It resolves a false-advertising claim that fiberglass used as a fire retardant in certain Ashley, Nectar, DreamCloud and Siena mattresses was not adequately disclosed to buyers. It is not a data breach; no personal information was involved.

Who is included in the settlement class?

The class covers consumers who purchased an affected Ashley, Nectar, DreamCloud or Siena mattress containing fiberglass fire retardant between October 1, 2017 and June 30, 2024. The court's Preliminary Approval Order describes the class as comprised of millions of individuals, without a more specific count.

How much money will class members in the Ashley mattress settlement get?

Most class members receive a Voucher, not cash, representing a pro-rata share of a $9 million Common Voucher Fund. A pro-rata cash payment is possible only if the court approves attorneys fees below $3 million, and the value of any individual voucher depends on how many valid claims were filed. The Voucher expires one year after distribution and must be used in a single transaction, with no remaining balance available afterward.

Did I need proof of purchase to file a claim in this settlement?

No, not for most class members. The settlement required documentation only from class members who did not receive email notice of the case.

When will vouchers or payments from the Ashley mattress settlement actually go out?

Not yet. As of September 9, 2026, the settlement has not received final court approval. That hearing is set for September 24, 2026, and no payout date has been published.

What happens if I missed the July 17, 2026 deadline for the Ashley mattress settlement?

There is no published process for filing a late claim; the claim deadline closed that day, while the exclusion and objection deadlines run separately to September 16, 2026. Be cautious of any site or message offering to file a late claim for you, since the settlement itself does not appear to reopen its own deadlines.

Is a voucher or cash payment from the mattress settlement taxable?

It depends on what the payment is meant to replace, so it is not automatically tax-free or automatically taxable. The IRS explains how settlement payments are generally treated on IRS.gov, and a tax professional can review the specifics of your voucher or payment.

Is this the same case as a fiberglass mattress lawsuit against a different brand?

No. This settlement, Todd v. Ashley Furniture Industries LLC, case No. 3:24-cv-00615 in the Western District of Wisconsin, covers only Ashley, Nectar, DreamCloud and Siena mattresses. Other brands facing similar fiberglass claims are separate cases with their own deadlines and terms.

How to tell a settlement notice is real

Check the case name, case number, and court against the official settlement site. Go to that site directly instead of clicking a link in an email or text. Nobody legitimate will call, text, or email out of the blue asking for your Social Security number, bank account, or card details, and nobody will charge you to file. Report anyone who does at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Filing a legitimate claim is free. No legitimate settlement or administrator will charge you a fee to file, or ask for your Social Security number, bank, or card details by unsolicited call, text, or email. If someone does, it is likely a scam. Report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
