SEALY MATTRESS CORPORATION        Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1:Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures related thereto normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted in accordance with Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared following the same policies and procedures used in the
preparation of the audited financial statements and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Sealy Mattress
Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 28, 2004.

The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets
and liabilities and disclosures on contingent assets and liabilities at quarter end and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.

On
April 6, 2004, Sealy Corporation, owner of 100% of the Company's common stock, completed a merger with affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("KKR") whereby
KKR acquired 92% of Sealy Corporation's capital stock for $740.5 million. Certain of Sealy Corporation's previous stockholders, including affiliates of Bain Capital, LLC and others, retained an
8% interest in Sealy Corporation's stock. The merger was accounted for as a recapitalization. Subsequent to the recapitalization, the Company received as contributed capital all of Sealy Corporation's
100% interest in Sealy Mattress Company. The Company also replaced Sealy Corporation as the parent-guarantor of the 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 issued by Sealy Mattress Company.
Accordingly, the Company is now the reporting guarantor-parent company and as a result of being an entity under
common control has reflected the operations of Sealy Corporation prior to April 6, 2004 in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. Additionally, all assets,
liabilities, and stockholders' deficit of Sealy Corporation existing upon the completion of the recapitalization as of April 6, 2004 have been pushed down to and included with those of the
Company for all periods presented. Subsequent to the recapitalization, none of the activity of Sealy Corporation has been or will be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company
and its subsidiaries.

Certain
reclassifications of previously reported financial information were made to conform to the 2005 presentation.

Note 2:Subsequent Event

On June 30, 2005, the Company's parent, Sealy Corporation, filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with a proposed initial public offering of its common stock. The proceeds from any such offering are anticipated to be used, among other things, to redeem a portion of the
Company's senior subordinated notes due in 2014.

Note 3:Recapitalization Expense

In connection with the recapitalization of April 6, 2004, the Company incurred approximately $132.7 million of expense during the three months ended
May 30, 2004. Included in recapitalization expense was $70.2 million related to debt breakage costs, merger advisory fees, management retention

bonuses
and other costs, $45.6 million of stock compensation expense resulting from the settlement or modification of existing options, $11.8 million primarily related to the
write-off of previous debt issuance costs, and various other non-cash charges of approximately $5.1 million.

Note 4:Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plans

Certain employees of the Company have been granted options to purchase the common stock of the Company's parent, Sealy Corporation. Such options are accounted for
by the Company and reported herein as if granted by the Company. As permitted by FAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company continues to account for its stock option and
stock incentive plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and makes no charges (except to the extent required by
APB Opinion No. 25) against earnings with respect to options granted. FAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 123" does however require interim disclosure of pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the
fair value method.

For
purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized as an expense over the options' vesting periods.

The
Company recognized approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million of expense during the three and six months ended May 29, 2005, respectively, resulting from
accretion of an obligation to three executives of the Company for their right to put to Sealy Corporation, upon their retirement, shares of Sealy Corporation currently held as vested or partially
vested options.

Note 6:Assets Held for Sale

Property, plant and equipment being held for disposal is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Such assets which meet the
criteria of FAS 144 to be reported as "assets held for sale" are shown as such in the accompanying balance sheets, and consist of land and buildings at the Company's closed manufacturing
facilities which are being actively marketed for sale and which the Company expects to sell within one year. The $4.7 million decline in assets held for sale from November 28, 2004 to
May 27, 2005 primarily results from the December, 2004 sale of the Company's Randolph, Massachusetts facility, which was closed in May, 2004. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately
$0.2 million, which is included in income from operations for the six months ended May 27, 2005.

Note 7:Warranty Costs

The Company's warranty policy provides a 10-year non-prorated warranty service period on all currently manufactured Sealy Posturepedic,
Stearns & Foster and Bassett bedding products and some other Sealy-branded products, and a 20-year warranty on its new TrueForm product line introduced late in the
first quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company's policy is to accrue the estimated cost of warranty coverage at the time the sale is recorded. The change in the company's accrued warranty obligations for
the periods ending May 29, 2005, November 28, 2004, and May 30, 2004 was as follows (in thousands):

Note 8:Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with FAS 142, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of goodwill and certain other intangibles for impairment at least annually, or when
events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable from future cash flows. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges during the six months ended May 29,
2005 or May 30, 2004.

The
changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended May 29, 2005, are as follows (in thousands):

Total
other intangibles of $4.5 million (net of accumulated amortization of $4.7 million) as of May 29, 2005 primarily consist of acquired licenses, which are
amortized on the straight-line method over periods ranging from 5 to 15 years, and an intangible asset consisting of unamortized pension prior service costs of $1.2 million.

Note 9:Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net for the three and six months ended May 29, 2005 includes approximately $6.2 million of expense incurred in connection
with the refinancing of the Company's senior secured credit agreement on April 14, 2004 (see Note 10Long-Term Obligations).

Other
(income) expense, net includes interest income of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended May 29, 2005 and $0.3 million and
$0.7 million for the three and six months ended May 30, 2004, respectively.

Note 10:Long-Term Obligations

The
total borrowing capacity under the senior revolving credit facility is $125 million, of which up to $25 million may be borrowed in Canada. At May 29, 2005,
amounts outstanding under the senior revolving credit facility included $10.0 million under the Canadian portion of the facility. At May 29, 2005, the Company had approximately
$85.2 million total available under the revolving credit facility after taking into account letters of credit issued totaling $29.8 million.

Annually,
the Company may be required to make principal prepayments equal to 50% of excess cash flow for the preceding fiscal year, as defined in its senior secured credit agreement. At
May 29, 2005, the Company estimates that the amount of such required prepayment (net of voluntary prepayments made during the six months ended May 29, 2005), that would be due in the
first quarter of fiscal 2006 with respect to any excess cash flow for the 2005 fiscal year is approximately $8.8 million. Such amount is classified as part of the current portion of
long-term obligations at May 29, 2005.

On
April 14, 2005, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), which amended and restated the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2004 (the "Existing Credit Agreement"). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended the Existing Credit Agreement to
refinance the $465 million outstanding under the existing senior secured term loans plus an additional $100 million new term loan borrowings, the proceeds of which were used to repay the
$100 million outstanding under the Company's senior unsecured term loan due April 6, 2013. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also reduced the applicable interest rate
margin charged on the senior secured term loan, provided certain financial leverage ratio tests are met. In addition, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides the Company with greater
flexibility to make dividend distributions to its parent, Sealy Corporation, or to repay certain

8

subordinated
debt, provided certain leverage ratio tests and other conditions are met. The terms and conditions of the Company's $125 million senior revolving credit facility were unchanged by
the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. In connection with the amendment and restatement, the Company incurred a charge of $6.2 million during the three months ended May 29,
2005, including $3.3 million for the write-off of deferred finance charges primarily related to the senior unsecured term loan, $2.0 million of prepayment penalties related
to the senior unsecured term loan, and $0.9 million of related fees and expenses (see Note 9Other (Income) Expense, Net).

Note 11:Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November of 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 151, "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43 Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage) and requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition,
this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt this statement as of the beginning of fiscal 2006, and does not expect that it will have a material impact on our financial position
or results of operations.

In
December 2004, the FASB issued FAS 123 (Revised), "Share-Based Payment" ("FAS 123R") which replaces FAS 123 and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). This statement requires compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in financial statements based upon the
fair value of the award. FAS 123R eliminates the option to account for the cost of stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method as allowed under APB 25. Having no publicly traded
equity securities, the Company is considered a "nonpublic entity" as defined in the statement. FAS 123R is effective for nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2005. Therefore, the Company expects to adopt FAS 123R as of the beginning of its fiscal year ending December 2, 2007. The Company currently measures compensation costs related to its
share-based awards under APB 25, as allowed by FAS 123, and provides pro forma disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of the effects of accounting for share-based payments
under FAS 123, as required by that standard (Note 4). The Company expects the adoption of FAS 123R to have an impact on its results of operations. The Company is still in the
process of evaluating the extent of such impact.

Note 12:Hedging Strategies

In 2000, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converted $236 million of its floating-rate debt to a
fixed-rate basis through December 2006, thereby hedging against the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense (forecasted cash flows). Use of hedging contracts
allows the Company to reduce its overall exposure to interest rate changes, since gains and losses on these contracts will offset losses and gains on the transactions being hedged. The Company
formally documents all hedged transactions and hedging instruments, and assesses, both at inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are effective in offsetting
changes in cash flows of the hedged transaction. The fair values of the interest rate agreements are estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers and are the estimated amounts that the Company would
receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into consideration current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. Effective June 3,
2002, the Company dedesignated the interest rate swap agreement for hedge accounting. As a result of the dedesignation, $12.9 million previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss

9

---



as
of the date of dedesignation was being amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreement. Due to the retirement of the existing debt in connection with the
April 2004 recapitalization, the remaining $4.7 million previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss was charged to expense during the second fiscal quarter of 2004. Prior
to the recapitalization, for the three and six months ended May 30, 2004, $0.2 and $0.9 million was amortized into interest expense. Prior to June 3, 2002, the changes in the fair
market value of the interest rate swap were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Subsequent to June 3, 2002, changes in the fair market value of the interest rate swap are
recorded in interest expense. For the three and six months ended May 29, 2005, $(0.1) million and $0.3 million, and for the three and six months ended May 30, 2004,
$1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was recorded as net interest expense as a result of the cash requirements of the swap net of the non-cash interest associated
with the change in its fair market value. At May 29, 2005 and November 28, 2004, the fair value carrying amount of this instrument was recorded as follows:

During
the second quarter of 2002, the Company entered into another interest rate swap agreement that has the effect of reestablishing as floating rate debt the $236 million of
debt previously converted to fixed rate debt through December 2006. This interest rate swap agreement has not been designated for hedge accounting and, accordingly, any changes in the fair
value are recorded in interest expense. For the three and six months ended May 29, 2005, a deminimis amount and $0.4 million, and for the three and six months ended May 30, 2004,
$1.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was recorded as a reduction of net interest expense as a result of the cash interest received on the swap net of the non-cash
interest associated with the change in its fair market value. At May 29, 2005 and November 28, 2004, the fair value carrying amount of this instrument was $0.6 million and
$2.2 million, respectively, with $0.6 million and $1.8 million recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a deminimis amount and $0.3 million recorded in
noncurrent assets, respectively.

The
Company also entered into an interest rate cap agreement during the second quarter of 2002 with a notional amount of $175.0 million that capped the LIBOR rate on which certain
of its previous floating-rate debt was based at 8% through June 2005. This agreement has not been designated for hedge accounting and, accordingly, any changes in the fair value are
recorded in interest expense. The fair value of this instrument is not material.

In
June 2004, the Company entered into an additional swap agreement that has the effect of converting $200 million of the floating-rate debt under the Company's
new senior credit facilities to a fixed-rate basis through November 2005, declining to $150 million through November 2007. The Company has formally designated this
swap agreement as a cash flow hedge and expects the hedge to be highly effective in offsetting fluctuations in the designated interest payments resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate.
Accordingly, the effective portion of changes in the market value of the swap is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). For the three and six months ended May 29,

10

2005,
$0.4 and $1.1 million was recorded in interest expense. At May 29, 2005 and November 28, 2004, the fair value carrying amount of the instrument was recorded as follows:

At
May 29, 2005 and November 28, 2004, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with the interest rate swaps was $0.5 million and $(0.6) million,
respectively.

To
protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from purchases in a foreign currency, the Company has instituted a forecasted cash flow
hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its purchases denominated in foreign currencies with forward and
option contracts. The Company does not designate its foreign currency hedges for accounting purposes, therefore all changes in fair value are charged to earnings. At May 29, 2005, the Company
had forward contracts to sell a total of 18.0 million Canadian dollars with expiration dates ranging from May 31, 2005 through November 15, 2005. At May 29, 2005 and
November 28, 2004, the fair value of the Company's net obligation under the forward contracts was a liability of $0.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively. For the three and six
months ended May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004, the Company recognized foreign currency transaction gains of $0.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for 2005 and
$0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for 2004.

Note 15:Income Taxes

As allowed under SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", the Company has historically not provided for income taxes on the undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries that are considered to be permanently invested outside of the United States. However, the Company has evaluated the impact of the one-time favorable foreign dividend
provisions enacted on October 22, 2004, as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and determined that it qualifies for certain favorable foreign withholding rates and may repatriate
earnings of some of its foreign subsidiaries during the 2005 fiscal year. During the second fiscal quarter of 2005, the Company adopted the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRP"). Under the DRP, the
Company plans to repatriate $50 million pursuant to Section 965 of the 1986 Internal Revenue Code, as amended. There are no plans to repatriate foreign earnings after the close of the
2005 fiscal year. The estimated income tax liability associated with the repatriation is $7.2 million, which has been included in income tax expense for the three and six months ended
May 29, 2005. During the three months ended May 29, 2005, the Company repatriated $25.1 million, net of $1.3 million foreign withholding taxes.

Note 16:Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently
not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

The
Company is currently conducting an environmental cleanup at a formerly owned facility in South Brunswick, New Jersey pursuant to the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act. The
Company and one of its subsidiaries are parties to an Administrative Consent Order issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Pursuant to that order, the Company and its
subsidiary

12

---



agreed
to conduct soil and groundwater remediation at the property. The Company does not believe that its manufacturing processes were the source of contamination. The Company sold the property in
1997. The Company and its subsidiary retained primary responsibility for the required remediation. The Company has completed essentially all soil remediation with the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection approval, and has concluded a pilot test of the groundwater remediation system. The Company has received approval from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection of
a remediation plan for the sediment in Oakeys Brook adjoining the site, which the Company expects to start in 2005. The Company is also monitoring ground water at the site. The Company has recorded a
reserve for $2.3 million ($2.9 million prior to discounting at 4.75%) associated with this remediation project, and it is reasonably possible that up to an additional $0.3 million
may be incurred to complete the project.

The
Company is also remediating soil and groundwater contamination at an inactive facility located in Oakville, Connecticut. Although the Company is conducting the remediation
voluntarily, it obtained Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection approval of the remediation plan. The Company has completed essentially all soil remediation under the remediation plan and
is currently monitoring groundwater at the site. The Company has identified cadmium in the ground water at the site and intends to address that during 2005. The Company has recorded a reserve of
approximately $0.4 million associated with the additional work and ongoing monitoring. The Company believes the contamination is attributable to the manufacturing operations of previous
unaffiliated occupants of the facility.

The
Company removed three underground storage tanks previously used for diesel, gasoline, and waste oil from its South Gate, California facility in March 1994 and remediated the
soil in the area. Since August 1998, the Company has been working with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region to monitor ground water at the site.

While
the Company cannot predict the ultimate timing or costs of the South Brunswick, Oakville, and South Gate environmental matters, based on facts currently known, the Company believes
that the accruals recorded are adequate and does not believe the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or future operations of the Company; however,
in the event of an adverse decision, these matters could have a material adverse effect.

The
state of California adopted new flame retardant regulations related to manufactured mattresses and box springs which became effective January 1, 2005. The Company believes
that it is in full compliance with those regulations. The Company does not expect the impact of those regulations to be significant to the Company's results of operations or financial position.

Significant
judgment is required in evaluating the Company's federal, state and foreign tax positions and in the determination of its tax provision. Despite the Company's belief that the
its tax return positions are fully supportable, reserves have been established where the Company believes that certain tax positions are likely to be challenged and the Company may not fully prevail
in overcoming these challenges. The Company may adjust these reserves as relevant circumstances evolve, such as guidance from the relevant tax authority, the Company's tax advisors, or resolution of
issues in the courts. The Company's tax expense includes the impact of reserve positions and changes to reserves that it considers appropriate, as well as related interest. Because the Company is not
currently undergoing examinations of any of its corporate income tax returns by tax authorities, the Company believes that it is unlikely that an audit could be initiated which would result in
assessment and payment of taxes related to these positions during the remainder of 2005. The Company also cannot predict when or if any other future tax payments related to these tax positions may
occur. Therefore,

13

---



substantially
all of the reserves for these positions are classified as noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet.

Note 17:Related Party Transactions

The Company previously contributed cash and other assets to Mattress Holdings International LLC ("MHI"), a company which was controlled by the Company's previous
largest stockholder, Bain Capital, LLC ("Bain"), in exchange for a non-voting interest. MHI was formed to invest in domestic and international loans, advances and investments in joint
ventures, licensees and retailers. The equity ownership of MHI was transferred from Bain to the Company in November 2002. In 1999, MHI, indirectly through a Bain controlled holding company,
acquired a minority interest in Mattress Holdings Corporation ("MHC"). MHC owns an interest in Mattress Discounters Corporation ("Mattress Discounters"), a domestic mattress retailer.

In
October 2002, Mattress Discounters filed a voluntary joint petition with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code and was operating as a debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code. Effective March 14, 2003, Mattress Discounters emerged from bankruptcy. At the time Mattress Discounters
filed for bankruptcy protection, the Company had recorded in its financial statements a $12.5 million participation in Mattress Discounters' banking facility and $16.0 million in trade
receivables. The Company had fully-reserved the trade receivables. As part of the approved bankruptcy settlement, the Company received a non-controlling minority interest in Mattress
Discounters and a $12.9 million secured note, guaranteed by MHC. Other entities affiliated with Bain also received a minority interest in Mattress Discounters. Sealy consummated the sale to MHC
of the $12.9 million note and the equity interest that the Company received in the Mattress Discounters bankruptcy, as well as MHI's equity interest in MHC for $13.6 million. As a result
of these transactions, the Company no longer has any direct interest in Mattress Discounters other than trade receivables in the normal course of business. In addition, as a result of the acquisition
by KKR on April 6, 2004, Bain relinquished its controlling interest in the Company and Mattress Discounters ceased to be considered an affiliate of the Company subsequent to that date. Fiscal
2004 sales and cost of sales to Mattress Discounters during its period of affiliation with the Company up to April 6, 2004 are reported in the statement of operations as sales and cost of sales
to affiliate. The Company believes that the terms on which mattresses were supplied to Mattress Discounters while an affiliate were not materially different than those that might reasonably be
obtained in a comparable transaction on an arm's length basis from a person that is not an affiliate or related party.

During
the three and six months ended May 29, 2005, the Company incurred management fees of $0.5 million and $1.0 million to KKR, respectively. Also during the three
and six months ended May 29, 2005, the Company incurred $0.5 million and $1.2 million for consulting services provided by Capstone Consulting LLC, the chief executive officer of
which is on the Company's board of directors.

Note 18:Segment Information

The Company has determined that it has two operating segments, domestic and international, that qualify for aggregation as prescribed in SFAS 131.
Accordingly, the Company has one reportable industry segment, the manufacture and marketing of conventional and specialty bedding. For the three and six months of 2005 and 2004, no one customer
represented 10% or more of total net sales. Sales outside the United States for the three and six months ended May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004 were $71.6 million and
$63.8 million and $143.9 million and $127.5 million, respectively. In addition,

14

long-lived
assets (principally property, plant and equipment and other investments) outside the United States were $50.7 million and $53.5 million as of May 29, 2005
and November 28, 2004, respectively.

Note 19:Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information

The Parent (as defined below) and each of the subsidiaries of Sealy Mattress Company (the "Issuer") that guarantee the Notes (as defined below) (the "Guarantor
Subsidiaries") have fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, the obligation to pay principal and interest with respect to the 8.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the
"Notes") of the Issuer. Substantially all of the Issuer's operating income and cash flow is generated by its subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the Issuer's debt service obligations
are provided in part by distributions or advances from its subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, contractual and legal restrictions, as well
as the financial condition and operating requirements of the Issuer's subsidiaries, could limit the Issuer's ability to obtain cash from its subsidiaries for the purpose of meeting its debt service
obligations, including the payment of principal and interest on the Notes. Although holders of the Notes will be direct creditors of the Issuer's principal direct subsidiaries by virtue of the
guarantees, the Issuer has subsidiaries ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") that are not included among the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and such subsidiaries will not be obligated with respect to
the Notes. As a result, the claims of creditors of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries will effectively have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such companies over the claims
of creditors of the Issuer, including the holders of the Notes.

The
following supplemental consolidating condensed financial statements present:



Separate
financial statements of each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management believes that these financial statements would not be material to investors.

SEALY MATTRESS CORPORATION

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

Sealy Mattress Corporation, through our subsidiaries, is the largest bedding manufacturer in the world, with a wholesale domestic market share of 21.3% in 2004.
We estimate that our market share has increased slightly through May 29, 2005. We manufacture and market a complete line of bedding (innerspring and non-innerspring) products
including mattresses and box springs, holding leading positions in key market segments such as luxury bedding products and among leading retailers. According toHome Furnishing
Newsin 2003, the Sealy brand ranked 9th among the top 150 home products brands. Our conventional bedding products include the SEALY®, SEALY
POSTUREPEDIC®, STEARNS & FOSTER® and BASSETT® brands and account for approximately 88.4% of the our total net sales for the year ended November 28,
2004. In addition to our innerspring bedding, we also produce a variety of visco-elastic (memory foam) and latex foam bedding products. Though sales of such products were not significant in the first
quarter of 2005, we expect to experience growth in these product lines in 2005 as we seek to strengthen our competitive position in the specialty bedding (non-innerspring mattress) market.
We distinguish ourselves from our major competitors by maintaining our own component parts manufacturing capability and producing substantially all of our mattress innerspring requirements and
approximately 46% of our boxspring component parts requirements. We believe that our industry is resilient to economic downturns due in part to the large portion of purchases, approximately 70%, which
are for mattress replacements. The growth of the bedding industry has been supported by economic and demographic factors such as increasing disposable income among the "baby boomer" segment of the
population, an increase in the number of bedrooms per home and also second home purchases, and growing awareness of the health benefits of quality sleep.

On
April 6, 2004 our parent company, Sealy Corporation, completed a merger with affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("KKR") whereby KKR acquired approximately
92% of Sealy
Corporation's capital stock. In connection with the merger, we recapitalized substantially all of our outstanding debt. A full description of the effects of the merger and recapitalization is included
in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2005. Although we incurred substantially increased levels of debt in
the recapitalization, our cost of capital was reduced due to lower interest rates on the new debt compared with our earlier financing, and our total interest costs have remained comparable with those
prior to the recapitalization. On April 14, 2005, we further reduced our cost of capital by amending and restating our senior secured credit agreement. The amendment provided an additional
$100 million of senior secured term loans which were used to repay our senior unsecured term loans, reducing our interest costs going forward. Due to our strong operating cash flow since the
recapitalization, we have been able to repay $125 million of our senior secured term debt significantly ahead of schedule. Our strategy for the remainder of 2005 is to continue to deleverage
our business through additional prepayments of our long-term debt as permitted by our senior credit agreements and our operating cash flow.

On
June 30, 2005, our parent company, Sealy Corporation, filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection
with a proprosed initial public offering of its common stock. The proceeds from any such offering are anticipated to be used, among other things, to redeem a portion of our senior subordinated notes
due in 2014.

In
2004, we successfully completed the rollout of our new single-sided, "no-flip" Sealy UniCased® and Stearns & Foster TripLCased® product
lines in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, representing the broadest product redesign in our history. The manufacture and sale of these products for our Sealy Posturepedic lines began in
mid-2003, followed by the introduction of the new Stearns &

Foster
lines in the first fiscal quarter of 2004. Our initial profitability from the sales of these new products was limited as we worked to gain manufacturing efficiency with the new designs and
supported our customers' transition to the new products with price rollbacks. In 2004, with these issues substantially behind us, we began to realize the anticipated contribution of these products to
our sales growth and profitability, which has continued into the first half of 2005. Our profitability has been further enhanced by rapid growth among our high-end price point ($1,000 and
up) luxury bedding lines. Our shares of the Luxury and Ultra-Luxury product segments are greater than our overall market share, and our Stearns & Foster and Luxury Posturepedic lines directly
target these segments.

Late
in the first quarter of 2005, we introduced our new TrueForm visco-elastic bedding product line to take advantage of the rapid growth of the specialty bedding category.
This market, which includes latex foam, visco-elastic and air-adjustable mattress products, has experienced substantial growth both domestically and internationally. We believe that by
successfully leveraging our strong brand advantage and our marketing and distribution capabilities, we have the potential to make significant gains in the specialty bedding category.

Our
industry continues to be challenged by the high cost of steel and petroleum products, which affect the cost of our steel innerspring and our polyurethane foam and polyethylene
component parts. Thus far, we have been able to successfully address these cost pressures through a price increase announced in May of 2004 and cost reduction efforts. During the first half of 2005,
the cost of these components has continued to remain elevated above their recent historical averages, and we expect this trend to continue throughout the remainder of 2005.

Historically,
the bedding industry has had limited exposure to competition from imports due to high shipping costs, short lead times, the large number of finished goods SKUs and the
importance of brands. Although Asian bedding manufacturers have begun to explore the feasibility of exporting their products into the United States, we do not expect that competition from Asian
bedding imports will have a significant impact on our business. We believe that by focusing on further improvements in the efficiency of our supply chain, controlling costs, and continuing to invest
in product innovation and our brands, we can ensure that our domestically produced products will remain competitive with Asian bedding imports. Furthermore, we believe that the relatively low labor
content of our domestically produced mattresses lessens any competitive advantage provided by lower Asian labor costs.

$39.3 million, or 12.4% from the quarter ended May 30, 2004. Total domestic sales were $284.3 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $252.8 million for the
second quarter of 2004. The domestic sales increase of $31.5 million was attributable to a 2.4% increase in volume and a 9.9% increase in average unit selling price, due primarily to price
increases announced in May 2004 to offset the effects of rising steel costs, and an improved sales mix from our new UniCased® Posturepedic and

TripLCased®
Stearns & Foster lines. Total international sales were $71.6 million for the second quarter of 2005 compared to $63.8 million for the second quarter of
2004, an increase of $7.8 million, or 12.2%. This increase was significantly influenced by favorable exchange rate fluctuations, most notably in our European and Canadian markets, where a local
currency sales gain of 2.5% and decline of (0.1)%, respectively, translated into gains of 9.5% and 7.8%, respectively, in US Dollars. Local currency changes in our Canadian market were driven by a
10.0% increase in average unit selling price resulting from price increases implemented in response to increased material costs, the successful introduction of our UniCased® product line
and improved sales mix, offset by a 10.1% decline in volume. Sales gains in the European market were primarily attributable to a 3.7% increase in volume, partially offset by a 1.1% decline in average
unit selling price.

Cost of Goods Sold.Cost of goods sold for the quarter, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 0.9 percentage points
to 55.9%. Cost of goods sold for the domestic business, as a percentage of net
sales, decreased 1.5 percentage points to 53.9%. This decrease (as a percentage of net sales) is due primarily to the increase in average unit selling price as discussed above, partially offset
by increased material costs. On a per unit basis, material costs increased 17.2% relative to the second quarter of 2004 due primarily to increased steel and foam product costs as well as changes in
the sales mix toward higher price-point products. Variable conversion costs, however, decreased 8.0%, primarily due to increased manufacturing efficiency and lower product return costs. Cost of goods
sold for the international business, as a percentage of net sales, increased 0.8 percentage points to 63.7%, primarily due to higher product return costs.

Selling, General, and Administrative.Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $4.7 million to
$110.5 million, or 31.0% of net sales, compared to $105.8 million, or 33.4% of net sales. As a percentage of net sales, the 2.4 percentage point decrease has been driven by lower
national advertising costs and reduced provisions for customer utilization of promotional funds. In addition, product delivery costs and plant administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net
sales as sales gains have primarily been recognized through higher average unit selling prices as opposed to volume gains.

Recapitalization Expense.In the quarter ended May 30, 2004, we incurred approximately $132.7 million of
recapitalization expenses in connection with its merger with affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., L.P., completed April 6, 2004 (see Note 3 to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this quarterly report).

Royalty Income, net of royalty expense.Royalty income for the three months ended May 29, 2005 increased
$0.4 million over the three months ended May 30, 2004. The increase is due to higher royalties earned on product licensing arrangements, partially offset by higher royalty expense under
the Pirelli licensing arrangement at our European subsidiary.

Interest Expense.Interest expense increased $1.5 million over the three months ended May 30, 2004 primarily
due to higher debt levels resulting from the April 6, 2004 recapitalization as well as higher rates on the variable portion of our floating rate debt, partially offset by lower fixed interest
rates. Our weighted-average borrowing cost for the three months ended May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004 was 7.5% and 7.4%, respectively.

Income Tax.Our effective tax rate for the three months ended May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004 was 70.2% and
28.8%, respectively. Our effective income tax rate generally differs from the federal statutory rate due to the effects of certain foreign tax rate differentials and state and local income taxes. For
the quarter ended May 29, 2005, the rate was significantly increased due to the provision of approximately $7.2 million of income taxes on foreign earnings expected to be repatriated to
the United States during fiscal 2005 (see Note 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this quarterly report). In the second fiscal quarter
of 2004, the rate was affected by certain non-deductible expenses associated with the recapitalization.

Net Sales.Net sales for the six months ended May 29, 2005 were $714.9 million, an increase of
$80.1 million, or 12.6% from the six months ended May 30, 2004. Total domestic sales were $571.0 million for the first six months of 2005 compared to $507.3 million for the
first six months of 2004. The domestic sales increase of $63.7 million was attributable to a 2.0% increase in volume and a 10.3% increase in average unit selling price. The increase in average
unit selling price is due primarily to price increases announced in May 2004 to offset the effects of rising steel costs, and an improved sales mix from our new UniCased®
Posturepedic and TripLCased® Stearns & Foster lines. Also, net

sales
for the first quarter of 2004 were reduced by the effects of close-out pricing on existing products in conjunction with the roll-out of our new Stearns & Foster
product lines. Total international sales were $143.9 million for the six months ended May 29, 2005 compared to $127.5 for the six months ended May 30, 2004, an increase of
$16.4 million, or 12.9% This increase was significantly influenced by favorable exchange rate fluctuations, most notably in our European and Canadian markets, where local currency sales gains
of 3.4% and 3.5%, respectively, translated into gains of 10.4% and 12.5%, respectively, in US Dollars. Local currency sales gains in our Canadian market were driven by a 5.8% increase in average unit
selling price resulting from price increases implemented in response to increased material costs and the successful introduction of our UniCased® product line, partially offset by a 2.2%
decrease in volume. Sales gains in the European market were primarily attributable to a 4.5% increase in average unit selling price, partially offset by a 1.1% decline in volume.

Cost of Goods Sold.Cost of goods sold for the six months ended May 29, 2005, as a percentage of net sales, decreased
1.5 percentage points to 55.8%. Cost of goods sold for the domestic business, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 2.2 percentage points to 53.7%. This decrease (as a percentage of
net sales) is due primarily to the increase in average unit selling price as discussed above, partially offset by increased material costs. On a per unit basis, material costs increased 15.7% relative
to the first half of 2004 due primarily to increased steel and foam product costs as well as changes in the sales mix toward higher price-point products. Variable conversion costs, however, decreased
8.2%, primarily due to increased manufacturing efficiency, lower health insurance costs, and lower product return costs. Cost of goods sold for the international business, as a percentage of net
sales, increased 1.1 percentage points to 63.9%. This increase is primarily due to higher material costs and increased product return costs, partially offset by increased manufacturing
efficiency in Canada associated with the new product lines and improved product mix in Argentina.

Selling, General, and Administrative.Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $11.4 million to
$218.8 million, or 30.6% of net sales, compared to $207.4 million or 32.7% of net sales. As a percentage of net sales, the 2.1 percentage point decrease has been driven by lower
national advertising costs and reduced provisions for customer utilization of promotional funds. In addition, product delivery costs and plant administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net
sales as sales gains have primarily been recognized through higher average unit selling prices as opposed to volume gains.

Recapitalization Expense.During the six months ended May 30, 2004, we incurred approximately $132.7 million of
recapitalization expenses in connection with our merger with affiliates of Kohlberg
Kravis Roberts & Co., L.P., completed April 6, 2004 (see Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this quarterly report).

Royalty Income, net of royalty expense.Royalty income, net of expense, for the six months ended May 29, 2005
decreased $0.4 million over the six months ended May 30, 2006, primarily due to higher royalty expense under the Pirelli licensing arrangement at our European subsidiary.

Interest Expense.Interest increased $2.3 million over the six months ended May 30, 2004 primarily due to
higher debt levels resulting from the April 6, 2004 recapitalization as well as higher rates on the variable portion of our floating rate debt, partially offset by lower fixed interest rates.
Our weighted-average borrowing cost for the six months ended May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004 was 7.4% and 8.1%, respectively.

Income Tax.Our effective tax rate for the six months ended May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004 was 51.7% and 26.1%,
respectively. Our effective income tax rate generally differs from the federal statutory rate due to the effects of certain foreign tax rate differentials and state and local income taxes. For the six
months ended May 29, 2005, the rate was significantly increased due to the provision of approximately $7.2 million of income taxes on foreign earnings expected to be repatriated to the

United
States during fiscal 2005 (see Note 15 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this quarterly report). In the first half of 2004, the
rate was affected by certain non-deductible expenses associated with the recapitalization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Our principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility. Our principal use of funds
consists of operating expenditures, payments of principal and interest on our senior credit agreements, capital expenditures and interest payments on our outstanding senior subordinated notes. Capital
expenditures totaled $14.8 million for the six months ended May 29, 2005. We expect total 2005 capital expenditures to be approximately $30 million. We
believe that annual capital expenditure limitations in our current debt agreements will not significantly prevent us from meeting our ongoing capital needs. At May 29, 2005, we had
approximately $85.2 million available under our revolving credit facility after taking into account letters of credit issued totaling $29.8 million. Our net weighted average borrowing
cost was 7.4% and 8.1% for the six months ended May 29, 2005 and May 30, 2004, respectively. The decline in our borrowing cost was due to lower rates on our new debt as compared with
that retired in the April 2004 recapitalization and amendments to our senior credit facilities, partially offset by increases in the variable component of our floating rate debt.



As part of the April 2004 recapitalization we incurred substantial debt, including new senior credit facilities consisting of a $125 million senior
secured revolving credit facility with a six-year maturity, and a $560 million senior secured term loan facility with an eight-year maturity. We also borrowed
$100 million under a senior unsecured term loan, due in 2013, and issued $390 million aggregate principal amount of new Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014. Since the recapitalization and
through May 29, 2005, we have repaid $125.0 million of the original $560.0 million outstanding under our senior secured term loan. In doing so, we have effectively prepaid all
principal payments due prior to the maturity of the loan in 2012. Most of the prepayments have been funded out of our operating cash flow, along with $10.0 million outstanding under our senior
secured revolving credit facility at May 29, 2005. As of July 12, 2005, we have $12.8 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Borrowings
under our new senior secured credit facilities bear interest at our choice of the Eurodollar rate or adjusted base rate ("ABR"), in each case, plus an applicable margin,
subject to adjustment based on a pricing grid. Annually, we may be required to make principal prepayments equal to 50% of excess cash flow for the preceding fiscal year, as defined in our senior
secured credit agreement. At May 29, 2005, we estimate that the amount of such required prepayment (net of voluntary prepayments made during the six months ended May 29, 2005), that
would be due in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 with respect to any excess cash flow for the 2005 fiscal year is approximately $8.8 million, such amount being classified as part of the current
portion of long-term obligations at May 29, 2005.

On
April 14, 2005, we amended our senior secured credit agreement to provide for an additional $100 million of senior secured term borrowings. The proceeds from the
additional borrowing were used to repay the $100 million outstanding under our senior unsecured term loan, effectively reducing the interest rate on this amount of debt by 275 basis points. The
amendment also reduced the applicable interest rate margin charged on our senior secured term loan, provided certain financial leverage ratio tests are met. This amendment, along with a prior
amendment on August 6, 2004, reduced the applicable margin by a total of 50 basis points. In addition, this amendment provides us with greater flexibility to make dividend distributions to our
parent, Sealy Corporation, or to repay certain

32

---



subordinated
debt, provided certain leverage ratio tests and other conditions are met. The terms and conditions of the our $125 million senior revolving credit facility were unchanged by the
amendment. In connection with the amendment, we incurred a charge of $6.2 million during the three months ended May 29, 2005, including a non-cash charge of
$3.3 million for the write-off of deferred finance charges primarily related to the senior unsecured term loan, $2.0 million of prepayment penalties related to the senior
unsecured term loan, and $0.9 million of related fees and expenses.

On
June 3, 2004, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement effective July 6, 2004 effectively fixing the floating portion of the interest rate at 3.725% on
$200 million of the outstanding balance under the senior secured term loan through November 2005, declining to $150 million through November 2007. To retain the designation
of this swap as a hedging instrument, we must select the Eurodollar rate on the hedged portion of the senior secured term loan during the term of the swap.

The
outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes consist of $390 million aggregate principal amount maturing June 15, 2014, bearing interest at 8.25% per annum payable
semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2004. On September 29, 2004, we completed an exchange offer whereby all of the Senior
Subordinated Notes were exchanged for publicly traded, registered securities with identical terms (other than certain terms relating to registration rights and certain interest rate provisions
otherwise applicable to the original senior subordinated notes).

At
May 29, 2005 we were in compliance with the covenants contained within our senior credit agreements and note indenture.

As
part of our ongoing evaluation of our capital structure, we continually assess opportunities to reduce our debt, which opportunities may from time to time include voluntary
prepayments of our senior secured term debt, or redemption or repurchase of a portion of our senior subordinated notes to the extent permitted by our debt covenants.

Six Months Ended May 29, 2005 Compared With Six Months Ended May 30, 2004

Cash Flows from Operating Activities.Our cash flow from operations increased $79.6 million to $34.7 for the six
months ended May 29, 2005, compared to $(44.9) million for the six months ended May 30, 2004. This improvement was primarily due to effects of the recapitalization on cash used in
operating activities during the six months ended May 30, 2004, which included approximately $78.1 million associated with recapitalization expenses.

33

---



Cash Flows from Investing Activities.Our cash flows from investing activities decreased
approximately $13.8 million
to a net use of $10.2 million for the six months ended May 27, 2005, compared with a net source of $3.6 million for the six months ended May 30, 2004. Cash flows provided
by investing activities during the 2004 period included $13.6 million of proceeds from the sale of a note receivable from an affiliate in connection with the recapitalization. Cash flows
related to investment in property, plant and equipment included purchases and disposal proceeds of $14.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended May 29,
2005, and $11.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended May 30, 2004. Disposal proceeds in fiscal 2005 were primarily due to the sale of the our Randolph,
Massachusetts facility which was closed in the second fiscal quarter of 2004.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities.Our cash flow used in financing activities for the six months ended May 29, 2005
decreased $13.0 million from the six months ended May 30, 2004. Net cash used for 2004 financing activities was primarily the result of $35.2 million of debt issuance costs
resulting from the recapitalization that were not funded with recapitalization proceeds. In 2005, cash used for financing activates included $35.0 million in voluntary prepayments of our senior
secured term debt, offset by $5.3 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $8.1 million of borrowings by our European subsidiary.



Significant judgment is required in evaluating our federal, state and foreign tax positions and in the determination of our tax provision. Despite our belief that
our tax return positions are fully supportable, we have established reserves where we believe that certain tax positions are likely to be challenged and we may not fully prevail in overcoming these
challenges. We may adjust these reserves as relevant circumstances evolve, such as guidance from the relevant tax authority, our tax advisors, or resolution of issues in the courts. Our tax expense
includes the impact of reserve positions and changes to reserves that we consider appropriate, as well as related interest. Because we are not currently undergoing examinations of any of our corporate
income tax returns by tax authorities, we believe that it is unlikely that an audit could be initiated which would result in assessment and payment of taxes related to these positions during the
remainder of 2005. We also cannot predict when or if any other future tax payments related to these tax positions may occur. Therefore, substantially all of the reserves for these positions are
classified as noncurrent liabilities in our balance sheet.

We
have evaluated the impact of the one-time favorable foreign dividend provisions enacted on October 22, 2004, as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and
determined that we qualify for certain favorable foreign withholding rates and may repatriate earnings of some of our
foreign subsidiaries during the 2005 fiscal year. During the second fiscal quarter of 2005, we adopted the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRP"). Under the DRP, we plan to repatriate $50 million
pursuant to Section 965 of the 1986 Internal Revenue Code, as amended. There are no plans to repatriate foreign earnings after the close of the 2005 fiscal year. The estimated income tax
liability associated with the repatriation is $7.2 million, which has been included in income tax expense for the three and six months ended May 29, 2005. During the three months ended
May 29, 2005, we repatriated $25.1 million, net of $1.3 million withholding taxes.



Our long-term obligations contain various financial tests and covenants. The senior secured credit facilities require us to meet a minimum interest
coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes also requires us to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio in order to incur additional indebtedness,
subject to certain exceptions. We are currently in compliance with all debt covenants. The specific covenants and related definitions can be found in the

34

---



applicable
debt agreements, each of which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain
covenants contained in the senior secured credit facilities and senior subordinated notes are based on what we refer to herein as "Adjusted EBITDA." In those agreements, EBITDA
is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in
calculating covenant compliance. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein as it is a material component of these covenants. For instance, the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes and the
agreement governing the senior secured credit facilities of Sealy Mattress Company ("SMC") each contain financial covenant ratios, specifically leverage and interest coverage ratios, that are
calculated by reference to Adjusted EBITDA. Non-compliance with the financial ratio maintenance covenants contained in SMC's senior secured credit facilities could result in the
requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under such facilities, while non-compliance with the debt incurrence ratios contained in the indenture governing the senior
subordinated notes would prohibit SMC and its subsidiaries from being able to incur additional indebtedness other than pursuant to specified exceptions. In addition, under the restricted payment
covenants contained in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes, the ability of SMC to pay dividends is restricted by formula based on the amount of Adjusted EBITDA. While the
determination of "unusual items" is subject to interpretation and requires judgment, we believe the adjustments listed below are in accordance with the covenants discussed above.

EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating
activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, they are not intended to be measures of operating cash flows available for management's discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash
requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures of other companies.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information relative to the Company's market risk sensitive instruments by major category at November 28, 2004 is presented under Item 7a of the our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 28, 2004.



Our earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of our subsidiaries' functional currency as compared to the currencies of our foreign denominated
purchases. Foreign currency forward, swap and option contracts are used to hedge against the earnings effects of such fluctuations. The result of a uniform 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar
relative to currencies of countries in which we manufacture or sell our products would not be material to our earnings or financial position. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would
change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar.

To
protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from purchases in a foreign currency, we have instituted a forecasted cash flow hedging
program. We hedge portions of our purchases denominated in foreign currencies with forward and option contracts. At May 29, 2005, we had forward contracts to sell a total of 18.0 million
Canadian dollars with expiration dates ranging from May 31, 2005 through November 15, 2005. At May 29, 2005, the fair value of our net obligation under the forward contracts was
$0.8 million. We do not designate our foreign currency hedges for accounting purposes, therefore all changes in fair value are charged to earnings.



As more fully discussed in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 included herein), we had entered into two
interest rate swap agreements associated with debt existing prior to the April 2004 recapitalization. Although the related debt was repaid in connection with the recapitalization, the related
swaps remain in effect and are scheduled to expire in December 2006. Because the first swap converted a portion of our floating rate debt to a fixed rate and a subsequent swap effectively
re-established a floating rate on the same debt, the effect of the two instruments on both cash flows and earnings is largely off-setting. The combined fair value carrying
amount of these swap instruments at May 29, 2005 and November 28, 2004 was a net obligation of $3.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

We
had also entered into an interest rate cap agreement associated with previous debt that caps the floating rate on the debt at 8% through June 2005. The agreement also remains
in effect following the repayment of the related debt. This agreement has not been designated for hedge accounting and, accordingly, any changes in the fair value are recorded in interest expense. The
fair value of this instrument is not material.

On
June 3, 2004, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement effective July 6, 2004 effectively fixing the floating portion of the interest rate at 3.725% on
$200 million of our outstanding balance under the senior secured term loan through November 2005, declining to $150 million through November 2007. The fair value of this
swap instrument was an asset of $0.4 million at May 29, 2005 and an obligation of $2.0 million at November 28, 2004.

A
10% increase or decrease in market interest rates that affect our interest rate derivative instruments would not have a material impact on our earnings during the next fiscal year.

Based
on the unhedged portion of our variable rate debt outstanding at May 29, 2005, a 12.5 basis point increase or decrease in variable interest rates would have an approximately
$0.4 million dollar impact on our annual interest expense.



The cost of our steel innerspring and our polyurethane foam and polyethylene component parts are impacted by volatility in the price of steel and petroleum. We
expect the cost of the components to remain elevated above their recent historical averages throughout 2005. Thus far, we have been able to successfully address these cost pressures through a price
increase announced in May of 2004 and cost reduction efforts. We do not engage in commodity hedging programs.

Item 4.Internal Control and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to
be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and
(ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

In
connection with the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures for the year ended November 28, 2004, and in connection with observations by our independent registered
public accountants identified in their audit of our consolidated financial statements, management identified certain deficiencies in our financial statement close process primarily related to the
review and approval process for various account analyses and reserve/accrual calculations and the consolidated financial/balance sheet review process. Management has discussed these deficiencies with
our Audit Committee and we are currently addressing these deficiencies. Beginning with the financial statement close process for the first fiscal quarter of 2005, we instituted an enhanced management
review and approval process for various reserves and accruals. In addition, we enhanced our balance sheet review procedures for the individual plant locations. The Company continued these enhanced
procedures for the financial statement close process for the quarter ended May 29, 2005. We expect to continue improving the financial statement close process in 2005 as we continue to prepare
for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Due to the recently announced one-year delay in the required compliance schedule for non-accelerated
filers, we will be required to issue a management report on our assessment of internal controls over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
November 26, 2006.

There
were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation that occurred during the first quarter of 2005 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
