Simmons Bedding Company LLC has been sued by a consumer who accused the company of selling bedding and linens that falsely inflated their "thread count," duping buyers over the purported higher quality and durability of the products.
In the proposed class action, California resident Loriann Staples said she would not have purchased Beautyrest bed sheets, or would have paid less for them, had Simmons disclosed the alleged actual count. A representative from Simmons parent Serta Simmons Bedding LLC, based in Georgia, did not immediately respond to a message on Thursday seeking comment. An attorney for Simmons had not yet made an appearance in the case.Staples' lawsuit is among at least a handful of others that have accused manufacturers or retailers of deceptively marketing thread-sheet counts. Macy's Inc agreed in March to settle a class action in Ohio federal court for US$10.5 million .
In January, Serta Simmons Bedding filed for bankruptcy protection in Texas in a bid to eliminate most of its debt. Serta Simmons Bedding's brands include Serta, Simmons, Beautyrest and Tuft & Needle. In the year ending June 30, 2022, the company's sales topped US$2.4 billion.
