Emily Chebul v. Tuft & Needle, LLC

• The Settlement resolves a lawsuit alleging that Defendant deceptively advertised various discounts of its mattress products on its website, tuftandneedle.com.
• The two sides disagree on whether Plaintiff and the Settlement Class could have prevailed at trial. By entering into the Settlement, Defendant has not conceded the truth or validity of any of the claims against it and denies any liability or wrongdoing.
• Defendant has agreed to pay settlement awards, and other expenses, as described below, to fully resolve and release the claims of all consumers who purchased one or more mattresses advertised at a discount on Defendant’s website (tuftandneedle.com) while in the state of California, from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2024.
• Under the terms of the Settlement, Settlement Class Members will each receive a Settlement Award in either (a) cash, paid by check or electronic payment (“Cash Benefit”); or (b) store credit that can be applied towards any purchase made on tuftandneedle.com (“Website Credit”). Class Members can decide whether to receive a Cash Benefit or Website Credit. In either case, each Settlement Class Member will receive a Settlement Award equal to 45% of the discount Defendant represented they would receive on each mattress they purchased on tuftandneedle.com during the Class Period. The Parties estimate that Settlement Class Members purchased approximately 40,147 mattresses advertised at a discount from Defendant during Class Period, and that the total value of the Cash Benefits and Website Credits provided to Class Members under the Settlement is approximately $2,995,000. As a result, the average Cash Benefit or Website Credit provided to a Settlement Class Member will be approximately $75 per mattress purchase.
• In addition to these benefits, Defendant has also agreed to pay notice and administration costs estimated to be $48,000, an incentive award of up to $5,000 to the Class Representative, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of up to $748,824, as approved by the Court. Payment of these costs and fees will not reduce the value of the Cash Benefits and Website Credits that Settlement Class Members will receive. More information about the settlement benefits is available here.
• To be eligible to receive a Cash Benefit, Settlement Class Members must submit a valid Claim Form, as instructed below. Settlement Class Members who placed more than one qualifying mattress order during the Class Period, you need only submit one Claim Form to receive a Cash Benefit that includes the amount owed for each mattress purchase during the Class Period. Settlement Class Members who do not choose to receive the Cash Benefit by submitting a valid Claim Form shall instead automatically receive the Website Credit.
