What happened
Plaintiffs allege that American Textile Company falsely advertised, labeled, and marketed the thread count of its Sealy-branded textile products, including the “Ultimate Indulgence,” “Premium Comfort,” “Cool Comfort,” “Premium Cooling,” and “Superior Cooling” lines with 1250 thread counts listed on the packaging, in violation of federal and state consumer protection laws. The Settlement consolidates four related lawsuits filed in different federal courts: Santiago v. ATC (W.D. Pa.), Bruno v. ATC (N.D. Ill.), Lancaster v. ATC (N.D.N.Y.), and Shaw v. ATC (S.D.N.Y.), covering U.S. consumers who purchased the qualifying Products between October 19, 2016 and October 30, 2025.
American Textile denies the allegations and denies any wrongdoing or liability, and the Court has not made any determination that American Textile violated any law. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and time of continued litigation. The Settlement creates a $750,000 non-reversionary common fund from which Settlement Class Members who submit a Valid Claim will be paid, after deductions for attorneys’ fees, service awards, and notice and administration costs.

Where the money is going
This is a non-reversionary common fund. Attorneys’ fees, service awards, and notice and administration costs come out of the $750,000 before payments are calculated for class members. The $750,000 is the limit of what American Textile will pay; if total Valid Claims exceed the net fund, payments are reduced pro rata, and if Valid Claims fall short, payments are increased pro rata.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. Payments will be increased or decreased on a pro rata basis depending on total Valid Claims filed against the net Settlement Fund.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
Each valid claim is paid at $5 per qualifying Sealy 1250 thread count Product purchased between October 19, 2016 and October 30, 2025. Without Proof of Purchase, you can claim up to 8 Products per Household for a maximum of $40. With Proof of Purchase, you can claim an unlimited number of Products. If valid claims exceed what remains of the $750,000 net Settlement Fund after attorneys’ fees, costs, service awards, and administration costs, payments will be reduced on a pro rata basis; if valid claims fall short of the net fund, payments will be increased on a pro rata basis. Actual payments may therefore differ from $5 per product depending on claim volume.
Do I need to submit proof of purchase?
Proof of Purchase is not required for the basic claim of up to 8 Products per Household ($40 maximum). Class Members who attach Proof of Purchase documentation can claim an unlimited number of Products. The two types of claims can be combined on the same Claim Form. Review the Claim Form at threadcountsettlement.com for the specific verification fields and accepted documentation (typically receipts, packaging photos, or order confirmations).
What if I didn’t receive a notice?
You can still file a claim even if you did not receive a direct notice. Notice in this case was distributed primarily by publication and online, since American Textile did not have direct customer records for retail purchasers. If you bought one of the qualifying Sealy 1250 thread count bedding products in the United States between October 19, 2016 and October 30, 2025, you are likely a Settlement Class Member and can submit a Claim Form. For help, visit threadcountsettlement.com or call the Settlement Administrator toll-free at 1-855-858-5886.
Does staying in the class affect my right to sue later?
Yes. The opt-out deadline was January 21, 2026, which has passed. If you did not exclude yourself by that date, you will be bound by the Settlement and you will release the legal claims at issue in this lawsuit against American Textile and the other Released Parties, which include American Textile’s licensors such as Tempur Pedic Management, LLC, Tempur World, LLC, and Sealy Technology, LLC, along with their affiliates, distributors, and licensees. That means you cannot sue American Textile separately about the same alleged thread count misrepresentations. The full release language is in the Settlement Agreement, available at threadcountsettlement.com.
When will payments be sent out?
The Court held the Final Approval Hearing on February 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET via telephonic conference before Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand in the Western District of Pennsylvania. Payments will only be issued after the Court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved. The appeal process can take a year or more. No action is required after a valid Claim Form is submitted; check threadcountsettlement.com for updates.
