The Federal Trade Commission announced on July 25, 2023 a claims process for consumers who bought a DreamCloud mattress and were influenced by the company’s claims that it was made with USA materials.
The case
- DreamCloud mattresses were advertised as “proudly made with 100% USA-made premium quality materials.”
- The FTC said all DreamCloud mattresses contain significant imported materials, and many are wholly imported.
- The FTC sued Resident Home LLC and owner Ran Renske in 2021. The company settled, paid $753,000 and agreed to fund refunds.
- Resident Home’s Nectar brand had already agreed to a 2018 FTC order over “Assembled in USA” claims on imported mattresses.
