Nectar Mattress Fiberglass Class Action Lawsuit, Fiberglass Alleged to Leak Into Consumers’ Homes Are You Affected?

A proposed class action lawsuit alleges that certain Nectar mattresses are falsely advertised as safe and fit for normal use, given that the products can “leak” or risk leaking toxic fiberglass into consumers’ homes. If you own a Nectar Classic, Premier, Luxe, or Ultra mattress — or ever washed the outer cover — this lawsuit may include you.

What Is the Nectar Mattress Lawsuit About? Aldrich v. Resident Home, LLC, No. 5:25-cv-01791

The 40-page Nectar lawsuit contends that the mattress company — purportedly “Trusted by 5.5 Million American Sleepers” — has failed to warn consumers that its memory foam mattresses, including the Nectar Classic, Nectar Premier, Nectar Luxe, and Nectar Ultra models, pose a significant health and safety risk. These mattresses come with a flame-retardant sleeve made of fiberglass that can leak or “seep” tiny glass fibers into the surrounding environment.

Here is why fiberglass ends up inside a mattress in the first place. Memory foam mattresses like those sold by Nectar are inherently more flammable than traditional mattresses and, as a result, are sold with a fire-retardant sleeve made of woven fiberglass to comply with federal Open Flame Resistance Standards. The fiberglass sleeve is meant to suffocate the oxygen a fire needs for fuel, while the fiberglass melts to keep the inside of a mattress from catching fire. It is a common, cost-effective solution in the bed-in-a-box mattress industry — but the lawsuit argues the safety tradeoffs were hidden from buyers.

The complaint notes that although an outer mattress tag on a Nectar mattress reads “Glass Fiber…23%,” that tag nevertheless fails to warn consumers that the products are likely to leak or risk leaking toxic fiberglass through regular use. Twenty-three percent fiberglass — listed on a tag, but without any warning about what happens when that fiberglass gets out. The lawsuit calls that omission deliberate and legally indefensible.

This is a product liability lawsuit and a false advertising class action combined. The core legal theory is that Nectar sold mattresses it knew posed a contamination risk while marketing them as safe for normal household use.

What Happens When Fiberglass Leaks From a Nectar Mattress?

The complaint paints a specific, alarming picture — and backs it up with a real account from a 2020 consumer complaint cited directly in the filing.

A main point of contention in the Nectar class action lawsuit is the company’s allegedly inaccurate and irresponsible representations that the outer mattress covers are safe to remove and clean. Nectar’s website indicated that the outer cover was removable, although when one consumer removed it to clean after a spill, her entire apartment was covered in fiberglass that was “almost impossible” to remove. The consumer described the situation: “Our apartment is sparkly with fiberglass. We have had to drop money on a HEPA filter vacuum that could safely remove some of it, and on new non-permeable mattress covers to contain the worst of the source. We have had to garbage-bag up almost everything in her room. No amount of runs through the laundry seems to get it all out of clothes, and we have to thoroughly wipe out the washer and dryer drums every load.”

Fiberglass is especially pernicious because it is “virtually impossible” to remove from a space once it spreads. Loose glass fibers can travel through ventilation systems and become airborne, eventually settling and contaminating furniture, drapery, carpeting, clothing, towels, and innumerable other items throughout the entirety of a consumer’s home. Experts generally recommend that individuals vacate a home contaminated with fiberglass until it can be professionally cleaned. That professional remediation can cost thousands — sometimes tens of thousands — of dollars in severe cases.

The lawsuit also alleges that when consumers asked directly about fiberglass, Nectar claimed the fiberglass inside was not “the harmful type” — even though there exist no non-irritating types of fiberglass. Nectar in 2019 denied that there was any fiberglass in its mattresses at all, and admitted they used fiberglass only after being prompted by consumer complaints.

Are You Part of the Nectar Fiberglass Class Action?

If you own a Nectar mattress, here is how to know whether this lawsuit likely covers you. The case seeks to represent all U.S. consumers who purchased the named Nectar models.

You may be part of this class if:

• You purchased a Nectar Classic, Nectar Premier, Nectar Luxe, or Nectar Ultra mattress in the United States
• You purchased the mattress for personal household use, not for commercial resale
• You removed the outer cover at any point — or noticed symptoms such as skin irritation, eye itchiness, or respiratory issues after sleeping on the mattress
• You paid a professional cleaning service or bought a HEPA vacuum or encasement cover due to suspected fiberglass exposure

You are likely NOT included if:

• You purchased a different brand of mattress not manufactured or distributed by Resident Home LLC or Ashley
• You purchased a Nectar mattress outside the United States

The Nectar class action lawsuit looks to cover all individuals in the United States who purchased the Nectar mattress products at issue from the beginning of any applicable statute of limitations through the date of judgment in the case. The specific statute of limitations period will be determined by the court.

According to the class action, exposure to fiberglass can cause acute adverse health symptoms including intense eye and skin itchiness, breathing difficulties or exacerbation of existing asthma or bronchitis, stomach irritation, and mouth, nose, and throat irritation. The fiberglass may become embedded in skin and require surgical intervention. Should glass fibers invade the lower part of a person’s lungs, the risk of adverse health effects is significantly increased.

If you are researching “is there a class action lawsuit against Nectar for fiberglass” — yes, Aldrich v. Resident Home, LLC, Case No. 5:25-cv-01791, is active in the Central District of California.

What Plaintiffs Are Seeking in the Nectar Lawsuit

This is not a settled case — no money is available yet and no claim form exists for the Aldrich lawsuit specifically. Here is what the plaintiffs are asking the court to do.

The lawsuit charges that the Nectar mattresses at issue are “worthless,” or at the very least worth less than consumers paid — and that Nectar has deceived and misled consumers because “just laying on the mattress” poses an “unreasonable safety hazard.”

The complaint seeks compensatory damages for the purchase price of the mattresses, property damage remediation costs, and personal injury damages for consumers who suffered health effects. Plaintiffs are also seeking injunctive relief — a court order requiring Nectar to change how it discloses fiberglass content on its products and website. A product liability attorney can assess whether your individual damages from fiberglass contamination are significant enough to pursue outside the class action, particularly if you incurred substantial remediation costs.

What Should You Do If You Have a Nectar Mattress?

You do not need to take any action right now to remain part of the Aldrich class action. Class membership will be automatic for those who meet the eligibility criteria once the class is certified. Here is what is practical to do today:

• Do not remove the outer cover. If you have not already done so, leave the cover zipped and in place. Removal is the most common trigger for mass fiberglass dispersal.
• If fiberglass has already spread in your home, ventilate the space, avoid running HVAC systems that could spread particles further, and contact a professional remediation service. A HEPA-rated vacuum is the appropriate tool — standard vacuums can spread fiberglass further.
• Document everything. Photograph the mattress, any fiberglass residue you can see, medical receipts, and cleaning costs. This documentation matters if the case results in a settlement with tiered payouts based on documented harm.
• See a doctor if you or anyone in your household has developed respiratory symptoms, rashes, or eye irritation that coincided with mattress purchase or cover removal.
• Monitor the court docket. The case is assigned to Judge Sunshine Suzanne Sykes in the Central District of California, Case No. 5:25-cv-01791. Updates are public on PACER.

There Is Also a $9 Million Settlement You Can Claim Right Now — Deadline July 17, 2026

This is critical. Separate from the new Aldrich lawsuit, a $9 million class action settlement already reached in Todd v. Ashley Furniture Industries, LLC, Case No. 3:24-cv-00615, covers Nectar mattress buyers from a defined prior period — and the claim window closes July 17, 2026.

The $9 million Ashley fiberglass class action settlement received preliminary approval on March 19, 2026. The settlement covers all consumers who, between October 1, 2017, and June 30, 2024, purchased an affected mattress in the United States that was designed, manufactured, produced, distributed, sold, or marketed by the retailers and contained fiberglass as a fire-retardant material in the inner sock of the mattress. Consumers can determine their eligibility for the class action settlement by browsing the list of affected mattresses, which include those from the Nectar, Siena, DreamCloud, and Ashley brands. Approximately 6.2 million consumers nationwide are covered by the settlement.

End consumers in the United States who purchased an affected mattress between October 1, 2017, and June 30, 2024, can claim one voucher per mattress, redeemable at AshleyFurniture.com, NectarSleep.com, DreamCloudSleep.com, or SienaSleep.com with no minimum purchase.

The voucher amount is pro rata — it will be calculated by dividing $9 million by the total number of valid claims submitted. The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the settlement following a hearing on September 24, 2026. Vouchers will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval is granted and any appeals are resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a class action lawsuit against Nectar for fiberglass?

 Yes. Aldrich v. Resident Home, LLC, Case No. 5:25-cv-01791, was filed July 15, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The suit claims Nectar failed to disclose that its Classic Nectar mattresses contain fiberglass that poses serious safety risks including skin, eye, and respiratory irritation.

Do I need to do anything right now to be part of the Aldrich lawsuit?

 No. Class membership in Aldrich v. Resident Home will be automatic for qualifying purchasers once the class is certified. Save your purchase documentation and watch for court notices. No claim form exists yet for this specific case.

Is there a separate Nectar mattress settlement I can claim money from right now? 

Yes — but only if you purchased a Nectar mattress between October 1, 2017, and June 30, 2024. The $9 million Todd v. Ashley Furniture settlement covers Nectar, DreamCloud, Siena, and Ashley mattress buyers from that period. The claim deadline is July 17, 2026, and the court-approved website is MattressClassActionSettlement.com.

What if I already removed the outer cover and fiberglass spread in my home? 

Document all costs — cleaning services, replacement items, medical visits — and save those records. If the Aldrich case results in a settlement with tiered recovery tiers for documented property damage, this documentation will be essential. If your losses are significant, consult a product liability attorney about individual remedies.

When will a settlement be reached in the Aldrich Nectar lawsuit? 

TBD — Aldrich v. Resident Home is in early litigation as of May 2026. No settlement has been proposed or negotiated. Class action cases of this complexity typically take one to several years to resolve.

Did Nectar know about the fiberglass risk?

 According to the lawsuit, Nectar in 2022 or 2023 added a tag warning that removal of the cover created a “risk of injury or death” — but still omitted a clear disclosure about fiberglass. The lawsuit notes that Nectar “added this disclaimer to the outer cover and continued to manufacture the outer cover with a zipper that made the cover removable,” which “minimized the effect of any possible warning.”

Can I opt out of the Todd settlement and sue Nectar individually instead?

 Yes. Unless you exclude yourself from the Todd settlement by mailing a written exclusion request postmarked by July 17, 2026, you remain a class member and release your right to sue the defendants separately for the claims in that lawsuit. If you suffered serious personal injury or significant property damage from fiberglass exposure, consult a consumer rights lawyer before the opt-out deadline to understand whether your individual damages justify separate legal action.
