What happened

Todd v. Ashley Furniture Industries LLC is a product-safety and failure-to-warn class action in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, case number 3:24-cv-00615. The suit centers on mattresses sold under the Ashley, Nectar, DreamCloud and Siena brand names that contained fiberglass as a fire retardant. The claim is that the presence of fiberglass, and the risk it poses if a mattress cover is ever removed, unzipped or damaged, was not adequately disclosed to buyers.

The defendants are Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC, Ashley Global Retail, LLC, and Resident Home LLC. Resident Home is the company behind the Nectar, DreamCloud and Siena lines. This is not a data breach. No personal information, account numbers or passwords were exposed. It is a product-labeling and disclosure dispute that the parties resolved through a proposed class settlement instead of a trial.

Where the case stands right now

As of September 9, 2026, the claim deadline for this settlement has passed. It was July 17, 2026, so no new claims can be filed. The deadlines to exclude yourself from the class or to object to the settlement terms are separate and later: the administrator lists both as September 16, 2026, so those two choices are still open for a short window.

That does not mean money has moved yet. A federal judge still has to grant final approval before any vouchers or cash go out. That hearing is scheduled for September 24, 2026. Until the judge rules, and until the settlement administrator finishes validating the claims already filed, there is no confirmed payout date. A gap of several months between a claim deadline and the first payments is normal for a common-fund settlement of this size.

Who was covered by the 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 puts the class at about 6.2 million individual consumers. If you bought one of those four brands in that window and the specific model contained fiberglass, you were likely part of the class whether or not you ever filed a claim.

A purchase outside that date range, or a mattress model from these companies that never used fiberglass, falls outside the class as defined here. Eligibility ties to the brand names and the purchase window described in the settlement, not to every mattress either company has ever sold.

What class members may actually receive

This is not a cash settlement in the ordinary sense. The benefit is a Voucher, one per affected mattress purchased, paid as a pro-rata share of a $9 million Common Voucher Fund. The court's order describes the overall deal as a $12 million settlement fund: the $9 million in vouchers plus $3 million requested for attorneys fees and costs. Pro rata means the fund is divided among everyone who filed a valid claim, so what an individual voucher is worth depends on how many claims were ultimately submitted. It is not a fixed dollar figure set in advance.

There is one path to cash instead of a voucher. If the court approves attorneys fees of less than $3 million, a figure not yet decided, the difference becomes available as a pro-rata cash payment rather than store credit. Whether that happens depends entirely on what the judge awards at or after the September 24 hearing.

The Voucher also comes with conditions worth knowing before you plan around it. It expires one year after distribution and must be used in a single transaction, meaning there is no partial use and no remaining balance carried over afterward.

Treat any dollar figure tied to this settlement as an estimate rather than a promise. The settlement describes these amounts as subject to adjustment depending on how many valid claims were filed and what the court ultimately approves in fees and costs. No specific voucher value or cash amount is guaranteed to any individual claimant.

What proof was required

Most class members did not need to submit documentation to file a claim. The one exception in the settlement materials: class members who did not receive email notice of the case had to show something to establish their claim, since the standard notice process for most eligible purchasers relied on email records tied to the mattress purchase.

How the claims process worked

Filing happened only through the official settlement website for this case, run by the settlement administrator, Epiq, never by phone call, text message, or a third-party claims site. That claim window is now closed, and new claims cannot be submitted after the July 17, 2026 deadline. Exclusions and objections run on a separate, later schedule; the administrator lists both of those deadlines as September 16, 2026, and they are filed with the court rather than through the claim form.

If you missed the deadline, or you are just finding out now

If this is the first time you are hearing about the settlement, and it is after July 17, 2026, there is no published path to file a new claim; the deadline has passed and the settlement materials do not describe a late-claim process. Be skeptical of anything that says otherwise. A settlement does not reopen its own deadline on its own, and an offer to submit a 'late claim' for a fee is a pattern worth recognizing on its own, separate from any settlement-specific scam warning.

If you believe you were an eligible purchaser and never received notice by email, that is the one situation the settlement materials call out separately, so it is worth checking a spam folder for anything from this case before assuming there is nothing left to do.

Beyond that, the next dated events are the September 16, 2026 exclusion and objection deadlines and the final approval hearing on September 24, 2026. Until a judge approves the settlement and the administrator finishes processing the claims already on file, no vouchers or payments will be issued, and there is currently no published date for when that changes.

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 product-safety and failure-to-warn claims 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 puts the class at about 6.2 million individual consumers.

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.
