DreamCloud's current mattresses are fiberglass-free, but a $9 million class action settlement covers older models sold from October 2017 through June 2024. Here's how to check your bed and file a claim by July 17, 2026.
Short answer: DreamCloud mattresses sold today are fiberglass-free (and, for the record, designed in the USA but assembled mostly in China). The brand confirms it on the product page, and independent labs that previously listed DreamCloud as "unclear" have updated their classification after reviewing the company's current materials. The wrinkle is the back catalog: in May 2026, Resident Home (the parent of DreamCloud, Nectar, and Siena) and Ashley Furniture agreed to a $9 million class action settlement covering more than 70 mattresses sold between October 1, 2017 and June 20, 2024. The brands say they discontinued fiberglass by the end of 2023, but if you bought a DreamCloud in that window, you're likely eligible for a voucher or cash payout. Claims close July 17, 2026.
On May 7, 2026, Forbes reported that Ashley Furniture Industries, Ashley Global Retail, and Resident Home formally agreed to settle a long-running class action over fiberglass in their mattresses. Plaintiffs alleged that fiberglass strands could escape the inner cover - particularly when owners unzipped and washed the outer cover - and that some buyers suffered property damage and respiratory irritation as a result. The defendants deny wrongdoing, and the court has not made a finding of liability. They settled, the filing says, to avoid the cost of further litigation.
Two practical takeaways from the agreement. First, the brands stopped using fiberglass at the end of 2023, so any DreamCloud purchased new in 2024 or later should already use the rayon/wood-pulp fire barrier the company markets today. Second, eligibility for the payout extends through June 20, 2024 - the cutoff lines up with sell-through of older inventory, not the 2023 manufacturing change.
There are three reliable checks. None require unzipping the cover - and you should not unzip it, because that's the move plaintiffs alleged released the fibers in the first place.
No. DreamCloud's current mattresses are advertised as fiberglass-free, and independent reviewers (NapLab, NCOA, Mattress Reviews) confirm the law label lists no glass fiber or silica. The brand uses a rayon and polyester fire barrier instead.
Fifteen models: DreamCloud Classic Hybrid, Classic Memory Foam, Hybrid, Luxe Hybrid, Luxe Memory Foam, Memory Foam, Premier, Premier Hybrid, Premier Hybrid 3.1, Premier Mattress, Premier Memory Foam, Premier Rest, Premier Rest Hybrid, Premier Rest Memory Foam, and the original DreamCloud Mattress - if purchased between October 1, 2017 and June 20, 2024.
A store voucher to Ashley, Nectar, DreamCloud, or Siena. The voucher amount depends on how many valid claims are filed against the $9 million fund. Cash payments are possible if leftover money remains after legal fees.
Submit online at mattressclassactionsettlement.com or by mail before July 17, 2026. Class members who already received an email with a Unique ID and PIN can use those to fill out the short form. Without an email notice, you'll need proof of purchase - a receipt, store record, or a clear photo of the law label and SKU.
When fiberglass is sealed inside an inner fire-barrier sock, it sits behind the outer cover and isn't exposed to skin or air. The risk shows up when owners unzip and wash the outer cover - or when the cover tears - releasing tiny strands. The CPSC has not banned fiberglass in mattresses, but most major brands have moved away from it because of the cleanup cost when it does escape.
If the cover is intact and unwashed, most testers and the settlement's own materials suggest the immediate exposure risk is low. If you've already unzipped or washed the cover and see fibers, stop using it, seal it in plastic, and contact a remediation service - and document everything for your claim.
If you're shopping a new DreamCloud in 2026, the fiberglass question is largely settled - the current build doesn't use it. If you already own one bought before mid-2024, check the law label, look up your SKU on the settlement site, and file a claim before July 17, 2026. And in either case, leave the outer cover zipped up; the fire barrier - whatever material it's made of - is designed to stay sealed inside the bed.
