In the middle of 2009, a group of individuals filed a lawsuit in San Jose against Select Comfort Corporation saying that the company’s Sleep Number beds have a defect that can lead to mold growth. The lawsuit also alleges that Select Comfort was aware of the defect and tried to hide it rather than have it fixed.

The lawsuit is not saying that all the mattresses will have mold, but the suit does indicate that the defect creates the perfect environment for mold to grow. In other words, under the right conditions mold will likely grow in the mattresses.

The lawsuit does not specify the amount of damage the plaintiffs are seeking.

Select Comfort Corporation denies any wrongdoing. They say that defect is not, in fact, a defect but rather just inherent in all upholstered furniture. Select Comfort says that the Plaintiffs can provided no evidence that this defect has anything to do with the design rather that fabric.
