Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that Sealy Dreamlife mattresses marketed with removable, washable covers may not perform as consumers reasonably expect after the covers are removed and laundered according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Consumers report that covers shrink, become difficult or impossible to reinstall, lose their original fit, develop wrinkles or bunching, or otherwise fail to return to their original condition after washing. Some consumers further report that these issues affect the mattress’s appearance, comfort, or usability despite following the recommended care instructions.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Mattress covers shrinking after washing.
- Difficulty reinstalling the cover after laundering.
- Covers no longer fitting properly.
- Wrinkling or bunching that affects comfort.
- Damage occurring despite following care instructions.
- Difficulty obtaining warranty coverage or replacement covers.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Consumers purchasing mattresses with removable, washable covers reasonably expect those covers to withstand ordinary laundering when cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Washability is often promoted as a significant feature that improves hygiene, convenience, and long-term product value.
Some consumers allege that Sealy Dreamlife washable covers fail to maintain their original fit or condition after ordinary laundering, reducing the usefulness of the advertised feature. This investigation seeks to determine whether these covers consistently perform as represented under normal household use.
Potential Claims May Include
