American Textile Co. inflates the thread count of a Sealy brand sheet set it manufactures, markets and sells, a new class action lawsuit alleges. 

Plaintiff James Bruno claims the Sealy Premium Comfort 1250 thread count sheet sets have an actual thread of only 223. 

Bruno argues Sealy used its own method of counting thread counts rather than the standard set by the industry. 

“By counting the plied yarns individually, the Product’s thread count is inflated by several times over what it would be if industry standard methods were used,” the Sealy class action states. 

Bruno claims consumers purchased a worse sheet set product than they otherwise would have if Sealy had not allegedly inflated its thread count. 

“The Product was of lower quality, softness, comfort, durability and longevity than they otherwise would if they were the represented thread count and quality as stated on the labeling,” the Sealy class action states. 

Bruno claims the value of the Sealy sheet set was “materially less” than what was represented, which ultimately misled “reasonable consumers.” 

Bruno alleges Sealy is guilty of fraud, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment and in violation of Illinois’ Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, multiple state consumer fraud acts and the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. 

Bruno wants to represent an Illinois class and multistate consumer fraud subclass of individuals who have purchased a Sealy Premium Comfort 1250 thread count sheet set. 

Plaintiff is demanding a jury trial and requesting declaratory and injunctive relief along with monetary and statutory and/or punitive damages for himself and all class members. 

In 2020, consumers filed a separate lawsuit against several mattress companies, including Serta, over claims they committed state and federal antitrust law violations by making allegedly false and defamatory statements to the government and public.

The plaintiff is represented by Spencer Sheehan of Sheehan & Associates PC. 

The Sealy sheet set class action lawsuit is Bruno v. American Textile Co. Inc. , Case No. 1:22-cv-02937, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
