What happened
Leesa, Helix, Bear, and Brooklyn Bedding are mattress brands owned by Night US, LLC and Brooklyn Bedding LLC, sometimes referred to together as 3Z Brands. A lawsuit called Grossman v. Night US accused the companies of advertising mattress discounts against inflated "was" or reference prices, so that a price that was in effect most or all of the time was marketed as a limited-time sale.
That kind of pricing claim falls under California's false advertising law and the type of pricing practices the Federal Trade Commission has long warned against in its guidance on former-price comparisons. The theory in cases like this one is straightforward: if a "sale" price is really the everyday price, and the "regular" price listed next to it was rarely or never actually charged, the discount itself is the misleading part, not the mattress.
The companies deny wrongdoing. As of July 2026, they have agreed to a settlement to resolve the claims rather than continue litigating, which is common in consumer pricing cases and is not, by itself, an admission that the allegations are true. Settling avoids the cost and uncertainty of a trial for both sides.
Where the case stands right now
The settlement is not final. As of July 2026, it is in the pending-final-approval phase, meaning a judge still has to review the deal, hear any objections, and decide whether to approve it. That hearing is scheduled for October 16, 2026, at the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego (case number 26CU017232N).
Because the court has not yet given final approval, no payment date has been set. The claim deadline of September 25, 2026 falls before that hearing, which is normal: claims are collected first, and the fund is distributed only after the judge signs off. If you are waiting on a check or store credit, there is nothing to track yet beyond filing your own claim.
It is worth being clear about what "pending final approval" does and does not mean. It does not mean the deal is dead, and it does not mean it is guaranteed. A judge can approve it as written, require changes, or, less commonly, reject it outright if objections raise serious problems. Until the October hearing happens, treat the terms described on this page as the current proposal, not a locked-in outcome.
Who is included
The class covers people who, while physically in California or as California residents, purchased a discounted mattress from the four brands, and each brand has its own separate purchase window. Check your receipt or order history against these dates:
- Leesa: July 28, 2019 through March 11, 2024
- Brooklyn Bedding: September 5, 2020 through March 31, 2024
- Helix: October 2, 2020 through March 31, 2024
- Bear: June 4, 2021 through April 1, 2024
If your purchase falls inside the window for the brand you bought from, and you were either physically in California at the time or a California resident, you may be eligible. Purchases outside these windows are not covered by this settlement.
Notice that the four windows do not line up. Leesa's window opens years before the other three and closes about three weeks before Brooklyn Bedding's and Helix's. Bear's window is the shortest and the most recent. If you bought mattresses from more than one of these brands, check each purchase separately against its own brand's dates rather than assuming one set of dates covers all four.
How much you could get, cash or voucher
This is the part of the settlement that trips people up. The stated award is $110.00 per qualifying mattress purchase, but what you actually receive depends on one choice you have to make.
If you do nothing, you are automatically enrolled to receive a store-credit voucher, good for three years, redeemable with the same companies you are suing. If you want cash instead, either a check or an electronic payment, you have to actively file a claim form by September 25, 2026. Missing that deadline does not remove you from the settlement, it just switches your award from cash to store credit by default.
Think about what that default actually means before you decide to let it happen. A store-credit voucher only has value if you plan to buy another mattress, pillow, or accessory from Leesa, Helix, Bear, or Brooklyn Bedding within the next three years. If you do not expect to buy from any of these brands again, letting the deadline pass and accepting the voucher effectively converts a cash award into a coupon you may never use.
That $110.00 figure is also an estimate, not a promise. It comes out of an $8,163,000 common settlement fund and is subject to pro-rata adjustment based on how many people file valid claims and what the court ultimately approves for attorney fees and administrative costs. If far more or far fewer people file than expected, the per-claim amount could be adjusted up or down.
If you bought more than one qualifying mattress, the award is described per qualifying mattress purchase, so you may be able to file a claim tied to each one. Every claim is still subject to that same pro-rata adjustment, and this page cannot tell you in advance how many purchases you will be able to claim for or what the final per-claim total will be once the fund is divided.
What you need to do
The verified settlement details available for this page do not spell out a specific documented-proof requirement, such as a receipt upload, for filing a claim. The core decision is simply whether to let the default store-credit voucher happen or to file a claim form to request cash instead. If you want cash, mark your calendar for the September 25, 2026 claim deadline and file through the official site well ahead of it, since claims submitted at the last minute carry more risk of a processing problem.
If you would rather leave the class entirely and preserve your right to sue on your own, separate from this settlement, the deadline to exclude yourself is August 26, 2026, which is a full month earlier than the claim deadline. If instead you want to stay in the class but disagree with its terms, the deadline to file an objection with the court is also August 26, 2026, a separate step from excluding yourself. Excluding yourself means you get nothing from this settlement fund, cash or voucher, while objecting keeps you in the class and your claim intact. If you are unsure which option fits your situation, that August 26 date is the one to plan around first, since both close before the claim window does.
If you missed a deadline or just found this settlement
If a deadline described here has already passed by the time you are reading this, check the official settlement site for the current status before assuming you are out of options; deadlines are sometimes extended by court order. If you are not sure whether you are covered by this or any other mattress-industry pricing settlement, it is still worth freezing your credit at all three bureaus and monitoring your accounts as routine practice, since the same purchase history that makes you eligible here is also the kind of data that circulates after unrelated data incidents.

Filing on the official settlement site is free, so reach the claim form directly by typing nightbbsettlement.com into your browser rather than clicking a link in an unsolicited text or email, which is a common way scams ride on a real settlement's name.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Leesa, Helix, Bear, Brooklyn Bedding settlement about?
The Leesa, Helix, Bear, Brooklyn Bedding settlement resolves a lawsuit, Grossman v. Night US, that accused the mattress brands' parent companies of advertising discounts off inflated reference prices rather than genuine limited-time sales. As of July 2026, the companies have not admitted wrongdoing and agreed to settle to resolve the claims.
Am I included in the class for this settlement?
You may be eligible if, while physically in California or as a California resident, you purchased a discounted mattress from one of the four brands during that brand's specific window: Leesa from July 28, 2019 to March 11, 2024, Brooklyn Bedding from September 5, 2020 to March 31, 2024, Helix from October 2, 2020 to March 31, 2024, or Bear from June 4, 2021 to April 1, 2024. Check your purchase date against the brand you bought from, since each window is different.
How much money will I get from the settlement?
The settlement is structured as an estimated $110.00 award per qualifying mattress purchase, but that figure comes out of an $8,163,000 common fund and is subject to pro-rata adjustment depending on how many valid claims are filed and what the court approves for fees and costs. No specific dollar amount is guaranteed to any individual claimant.
What happens if I bought more than one qualifying mattress?
The settlement award is stated per qualifying mattress purchase, so if you bought more than one covered mattress in the eligible windows, you may be able to submit a claim tied to each purchase. The pro-rata adjustment described above still applies to whatever amount is ultimately paid.
What happens if I do nothing?
If you take no action by the claim deadline, you are automatically enrolled to receive a store-credit voucher good for three years, rather than a cash payment. To get cash instead, in the form of a check or electronic payment, you must actively file a claim form by September 25, 2026.
Can I opt out of the settlement or object to it?
Yes. The deadline to exclude yourself from the class, which lets you keep your right to sue separately but forfeits any settlement payment, is August 26, 2026. If you want to stay in the class but disagree with its terms, the deadline to file an objection with the court is also August 26, 2026. Excluding yourself and objecting are different steps from each other and from filing a claim, and should not be confused.
When will the settlement be finalized and when will people get paid?
As of July 2026, the settlement has not received final court approval. A final approval hearing is scheduled for October 16, 2026, and no payment date has been set or announced, since the judge could approve, modify, or reject the deal at that hearing.
Is the settlement payment taxable?
It depends on what the payment is meant to replace, so the Leesa, Helix, Bear, Brooklyn Bedding settlement does not have a single blanket tax answer. For guidance on how lawsuit settlement payments are generally treated, see the IRS resources linked in the sources below, and consult a tax professional about your specific situation.
