A. Basis of Presentation

For purposes of this report, the “Company” refers to Simmons Bedding Company and its subsidiaries, collectively. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 25, 2005, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented herein. All adjustments in the periods presented herein are normal and recurring in nature unless otherwise disclosed. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2004. Operating results for the periods ended June 25, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of future results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 or for any future period.

The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal year 2005 is a 53 week year, whereas fiscal year 2004 was a 52 week year. The fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005 will be comprised of 14 weeks, whereas each of the first, second and third quarters are comprised of 13 weeks.

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP includes some amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments. Future actual results could differ from such current estimates.

Certain amounts previously reported in the 2004 consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

C. Acquisitions and Dispositions

In December 2003, THL Bedding Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of THL Bedding Holding Company (now known as Simmons Company) and an affiliate of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., acquired Simmons Holdings, Inc. for approximately $1.115 billion, including

related acquisition costs (the “Acquisition”). Concurrently with the closing of this transaction on December 19, 2003, each of THL Bedding Company and the operating company of Simmons Holdings, Inc., then named Simmons Company, merged with and into Simmons Holdings, Inc. with Simmons Holdings, Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation (now known as Simmons Bedding Company).

The Company sold its Gallery Corp. (“Mattress Gallery”) retail operations in a stock transaction on May 1, 2004 to Pacific Coast Mattress, Inc. (“PCM”) for cash proceeds of $6.3 million plus the cancellation of all intercompany debt with the exception of current trade payables owed by Mattress Gallery to the Company. The cancellation of intercompany debt was recorded as a capital contribution to Mattress Gallery. No gain or loss was recorded on the sale since Mattress Gallery was recorded at fair value in connection with the Acquisition. As of June 25, 2005, the Company continued to guarantee approximately $1.3 million of Mattress Gallery’s obligations under certain store leases that expire over various periods through 2010. The Company does not record a liability for this obligation on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a supply agreement through April 2009 with PCM.

Prior to the sale of Mattress Gallery, the Company did not reflect Mattress Gallery’s results of operations as discontinued operations since the Company has an ongoing interest in the cash flows of the operations through the long-term supply agreement. For the quarter ended June 26, 2004, Mattress Gallery’s net sales and net loss were $3.0 million and $(0.9) million, respectively. For the six months ended June 26, 2004, Mattress Gallery’s net sales and net loss were $12.9 million and $(3.3) million, respectively.

On August 27, 2004, one of the Company’s then current subsidiaries, Simmons Juvenile Company, LLC (“Simmons Juvenile”), acquired certain assets and liabilities of the crib mattress and related soft goods business of Simmons Juvenile Products Company, Inc. (“Simmons Juvenile, Inc.” or “the Seller”), a then-current licensee of the Company, for $19.7 million in cash, including transaction costs (the “Juvenile Acquisition”), plus contingent consideration based on Simmons Juvenile’s operating performance for the six months ended February 2005. The Company paid $3.3 million of contingent consideration in the second quarter of 2005 and adjusted the purchase price allocation by such payment. On May 3, 2005, Simmons Juvenile merged with and into The Simmons Manufacturing Co., LLC, with The Simmons Manufacturing Co., LLC continuing as the surviving corporation.

Simmons Juvenile, Inc. manufactured and sold Simmons branded crib mattresses and related soft goods to the U.S. infant market. The Juvenile Acquisition provides the Company access to the U.S. infant market.

The Company recorded the Juvenile Acquisition using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market values. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition, adjusted for the contingent consideration paid in 2005 (in thousands):


Current assets	$	3,665
Property, plant and equipment		23
Goodwill		4,034
Intangibles		18,000

Total assets acquired		25,722

Current liabilities		(2,476	)
Non-current liabilities		(224	)

Total liabilities assumed		(2,700	)

Purchase price	$	23,022

The intangible assets acquired include non-contractual customer agreements of $8.8 million and trademarks of $9.2 million. The non-contractual customer agreements have a weighted average life of eleven years. The trademarks have an indefinite life. The goodwill was assigned to the Company’s wholesale segment. The tax-deductible goodwill was $6.3 million and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The tax benefit associated with the excess of tax-deductible goodwill over the reported amount of goodwill will be recognized when realized on the Company’s tax return and will reduce the reported amount of goodwill associated with the Juvenile Acquisition. There were no pre-acquisition contingencies related to the Juvenile Acquisition.

The Juvenile Acquisition is not considered significant to the Company’s balance sheets and statements of operations; therefore, pro forma information has not been presented.

D. Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the quarter and six months ended June 25, 2005 are as follows (in thousands):

During the second quarter of 2005, the Company changed its estimate of the ultimate treatment by a tax authority of certain tax contingencies that existed as of the date of the Acquisition. This change in estimate resulted in an increase in the Company’s goodwill and tax liability.

E. Warranties

The Company’s wholesale segment warranty policy provides a 10-year non-prorated warranty service period on all first quality conventional bedding products. The Company’s juvenile bedding products have warranty periods ranging from five years to a lifetime. The Company’s policy is to accrue the estimated cost of warranty coverage at the time the sale is recorded. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s warranty liability for the quarters and six months ended June 25, 2005 and June 26, 2004 (in thousands):

		747,313			752,139
Less current portion		(839	)		(4,124	)

	$	746,474		$	748,015

As of June 25, 2005, the Company had availability to borrow $64.9 million under the revolving loan after giving effect to $10.1 million that was reserved for the Company’s reimbursement obligations with respect to outstanding letters of credit. The remaining availability under the revolving loan may be utilized to meet the Company’s current working capital requirements, including issuance of stand-by and trade letters of credit. The Company

also may utilize the remaining availability under the revolving loan to fund distributions, acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, the Company may be required to prepay the tranche C term loan with up to 50% of the Company’s excess cash flow (as defined in the senior credit facility) from each fiscal year. As a result of the Company’s fiscal year 2004 excess cash flow, the Company made a $3.7 million mandatory prepayment on the tranche C term loan in March 2005. The Company prepaid $1.0 million of the tranche C term loan in the second quarter of 2005. The next quarterly principal payment required on the tranche C term loan will be in June 2006.

The senior credit facility and the senior unsecured term loan bear interest at the Company’s choice of the Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate (both as defined), plus the applicable interest rate margins as follows:


	Eurodollar			Base
	Rate			Rate
Revolving loan		2.50	%		1.50	%
Tranche C term loan		2.50	%		1.50	%
Senior unsecured term loan		3.75	%		2.75	%

The weighted average interest rates per annum in effect as of June 25, 2005 for the tranche C term loan and senior unsecured term loan were 5.84% and 7.00%, respectively.

The Company has developed and implemented a policy to utilize extended Eurodollar contracts to minimize the impact of near term Eurodollar rate increases. For approximately $325 million of the tranche C term loan and $140 million of the senior unsecured term loan, the Company set the interest rate at the twelve month Eurodollar Rate on January 26, 2005, which fixed the Eurodollar Rate at 3.25% through January 26, 2006. To further address interest rate risk, the Company has an interest rate cap agreement for a notional amount of $170 million which capped the Eurodollar Rate at 5.0% for the period of January 26, 2005 through January 26, 2006. The interest rate cap 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 the interest rate cap agreement is less than $0.3 million. The execution of these debt instruments resulted in the Company fixing or capping the interest rate on approximately 87% of its floating rate debt as of June 25, 2005.

The 7.875% senior subordinated notes due 2014 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, and on an unsecured, senior subordinated basis by all the Company’s active domestic subsidiaries. All the subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned by the Company. The following supplemental consolidating condensed financial statements provide additional guarantor/non-guarantor information.

Note: The Company has revised its presentation of the previously reported supplemental consolidating condensed guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries’ balance sheets as of December 25, 2004 to reflect the following:

	•		The change in classification of a $515.0 million credit balance previously reported in the Guarantor subsidiaries’ line item “net investment in and advances to (from) affiliates” and a $515.0 million debit balance previously reported in the Guarantor subsidiaries’ “stockholder’s equity”, to the Eliminations line items “net investment in and advances to (from) affiliates” and “stockholder’s equity”. The adjustment relates principally to the push down of certain purchase accounting adjustments to subsidiaries;

	•		The correction of intercompany balances previously netted in error against the Guarantor subsidiaries’, Non-Guarantor subsidiaries’, and Eliminations line item “stockholder’s equity” totaling a $491.9 million credit balance, a $1.7 million debit balance, and a $490.2 million debit balance, respectively. The amounts have been correctly classified in this revised presentation in the line items “net investment in and advances to (from) affiliates” and “stockholder’s equity”; and

	•		The combining of a $366.1 million credit balance previously reported in the Guarantor subsidiaries’ line item “net due to (from) subs” and a $366.1 million debit balance previously reported in the Eliminations line item “net due to (from) subs” into the line item “net investment in and advances to (from) affiliates”.

The net effect of the above changes in classification and corrections was to increase Guarantor subsidiaries’ total assets by $640.8 million, decrease the Non-Guarantor subsidiaries’ total assets by $1.7 million and decrease the Eliminations total assets by $639.1 million. The change in classifications, combining of balance sheet line items and corrections had no effect on the audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 2004.

G. Segment Information

The Company’s operating segments are generally organized internally by whether the products are sold to a reseller or to an end consumer. The Company has aggregated similar operating segments into two reportable segments: (1) wholesale bedding and (2) retail bedding.

The wholesale bedding segment consists of (i) the manufacture, sale and distribution of premium bedding products to retail customers and institutional users of bedding products, such as the hospitality industry; (ii) the manufacture and distribution of branded juvenile bedding and related soft good products; (iii) the licensing of intellectual property to domestic and international companies that manufacture and sell the Company’s premium branded bedding products or products which complement the bedding products manufactured by the Company; and (iv) the sale to consumers of product returns, off-quality product and excess inventory through retail outlet stores.

The retail bedding segment currently operates specialty sleep stores in Oregon and Washington that sell to consumers principally premium branded bedding products. On May 1, 2004, the Company sold its retail bedding subsidiary, Mattress Gallery (see Note C to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further explanation).

The Company evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on net sales and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA differs from the term “EBITDA” as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income to exclude interest expense, income taxes, depreciation

and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA also adjusts net income by excluding items or expenses not typically excluded in the calculation of “EBITDA” such as management fees, non-cash stock compensation expenses, and other unusual or non-recurring items as defined by the Company’s senior credit facility. Management believes the aforementioned approach is the most informative representation of how management evaluates performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs.

The following tables summarize segment information:

H. People Realignment Plan

In connection with a Company cost savings initiative, a people realignment plan for the Company’s salaried associates was implemented in the second and third quarters of 2005. The people realignment plan consisted of three phases. In the first phase, a voluntary early retirement program was offered to eligible salaried associates. Those associates participating in the early retirement program were offered benefits including severance payments and continued health insurance. The Company recorded the costs of the early retirement program when associates accepted the offer, which was during the second quarter of 2005. The cost of this early retirement program was $0.7 million and is reflected in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The second and third phases of the people realignment plan included voluntary and involuntary permanent reductions of the Company’s salaried associates. Associates terminated under these two phases were offered certain benefits which included severance payments,

outplacement services and health insurance. The Company recorded the costs of the voluntary permanent terminations once the associate offered their resignation and the Company accepted, which was in the third quarter of 2005. The Company recorded the costs of the involuntary permanent terminations once the Company determined the final number of employees to be involuntarily separated and the plan was communicated to the associates, which was in the third quarter of 2005. The costs of the second and third phases of the people realignment plan are currently estimated to be $1.7 million in the aggregate and will be recorded in the Company’s third quarter 2005 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company anticipates the people realignment plan will result in annualized compensation, fringe and benefit savings of approximately $5.0 million.

I. Plant Closing and Opening Charges

The Company’s Columbus, Ohio manufacturing facility was closed in April 2004. The Company incurred plant closure charges of approximately $0.8 million of severance, retention, rent, and transfer of equipment costs during the second quarter of fiscal year 2004 related to this closing. The Company wrote off inventory and incurred other miscellaneous charges of $0.2 million as a result of the closure of the plant, which was included in cost of goods sold during the second quarter of 2004. Additionally, the Company dismantled and abandoned equipment resulting in a $0.2 million charge to selling, general and administrative expenses during the second quarter of 2004.

The Company opened a new manufacturing facility in Hazleton, Pennsylvania on March 15, 2004. The Company incurred non-recurring start-up costs, net of local and state training grants, related to the openings of approximately $3.0 million and $5.8 million for the quarter and six months ended June 26, 2004. The start-up costs include travel and relocation, rent, utilities, repair and maintenance, and training expenses totaling $1.5 million and $3.2 million for the quarter and six months ended June 26, 2004, which are included in cost of products sold, and incremental distribution costs of $1.5 million and $2.6 million for the quarter and six months ended June 26, 2004, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The incremental distribution expense resulted from the extra miles driven to service the customers that were previously serviced by the Company’s closed manufacturing facilities.

In May 2005 and at the end of the lease term, the Company moved its juvenile manufacturing facility formerly located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to a temporary manufacturing facility. The Company anticipates moving to a permanent facility in Neenah, Wisconsin during the third quarter of 2005.

J. Contingencies

From time to time, the Company has been involved in various legal proceedings. The Company believes that all current litigation is routine in nature and incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business, and that none of this litigation, if determined adversely to the

Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations.

K. Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment – An Amendment of FAS 123 and FAS 95, (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements based upon the fair value of the award. SFAS 123R eliminates the option to account for the cost of stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method as allowed under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company is considered a non-public entity as defined by SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R is effective for non-public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 123R as of the beginning of its fiscal year 2006. The Company does not anticipate that SFAS 123R will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153, in contrast to APB No. 29, requires exchanges of nonmonetary assets to be accounted for based on the fair market value of the assets exchanged, rather than at their historical cost. The provisions of SFAS 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 153 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2006 and does not anticipate that SFAS 153 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

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

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 25, 2004, including related notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the unaudited interim financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Recent Events

People Realignment Plan

In connection with our cost savings initiative, a people realignment plan for our salaried associates was implemented in the second and third quarters of 2005. The people realignment plan consisted of three phases. In the first phase, a voluntary early retirement program was offered to eligible salaried associates. Those associates participating in the early retirement program were offered benefits including severance payments and continued health insurance. We recorded the costs of the early retirement program when associates accepted the offer, which was during the second quarter of 2005. The cost of this early retirement program was $0.7 million and is reflected in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The second and third phases of the people realignment plan included voluntary and involuntary permanent reductions of our salaried associates. Associates terminated under these two phases were offered certain benefits which included severance payments, outplacement services and health insurance. We recorded the costs of the voluntary permanent terminations once the associate offered their resignation and we accepted, which was in the third quarter of 2005. We recorded the costs of the involuntary permanent terminations once we determined the final number of employees to be involuntarily separated and the plan was communicated to the associates, which was in the third quarter of 2005. The costs of the second and third phases of the people realignment plan are currently estimated to be $1.7 million in the aggregate and will be recorded in our third quarter 2005 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

We anticipate the people realignment plan will result in annualized compensation, fringe and benefit savings of approximately $5.0 million.

Restructuring of our Corporate Management Team

In connection with the people realignment plan, we restructured our corporate management team. As a result of the restructuring, our then President, Robert W. Hellyer, left the Company to pursue other professional opportunities and our Chairmen and CEO, Charles R. Eitel, assumed certain of Mr. Hellyer’s responsibilities.

Additionally, we appointed Timothy F. Oakhill as our Senior Vice President of Marketing and Licensing. Mr. Oakhill, who has been with the Company for eight years, was instrumental in growing the BackCare® and BackCare Kids® brands. Most recently, Mr. Oakhill was Vice President of International and Domestic Licensing.

On July 30, 2005, we hired Robert P. Burch as our Executive Vice President – Operations. Mr. Burch comes to Simmons after 26 years with office furniture manufacturer, Steelcase, Inc., where Mr. Burch most recently held the position of Vice President of Order Fulfillment for North America.

On August 9, 2005, we named Stephen G. Fendrich as our Executive Vice President – Sales. Mr. Fendrich has been Chief Executive Officer and President of our SC Holdings, Inc. and Sleep Country USA, Inc. subsidiaries since September 2002. Mr. Fendrich will continue in his Sleep Country role until a successor is named. Kevin Damewood, previously Senior Vice President – Sales, will assume the duties of Divisional Vice President – Sales for the Northeast Region.

Labor Unions

Both the Steelworkers and Teamsters labor unions at our Los Angeles manufacturing facility ratified 4-year collective bargaining agreements in July 2005. These agreements are effective starting in October 2005 through September 2009. We do not expect either contract to have a significant impact on our future operating results.

Net sales. The following table presents our net sales and the dollar and percentage change by segment for the quarter ended June 25, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 26, 2004:


							$ increase			% increase
	2005			2004			(decrease)			(decrease)
	(in millions)
Wholesale bedding segment	$	192.7		$	187.7		$	5.0			2.6	%
Retail bedding segment		18.8			19.2			(0.4	)		-2.3	%
Eliminations		(3.5	)		(5.1	)		1.6			-31.4	%

Consolidated net sales	$	208.0		$	201.8		$	6.2			3.1	%

Wholesale bedding segment net sales increased $5.0 million, or 2.6%, due primarily to the addition of $6.2 million of net sales of juvenile products as a result of the acquisition of the crib mattress and related soft goods of Simmons Juvenile Products Company, Inc. in

August 2004 (the “Juvenile Acquisition”). Our conventional bedding net sales declined $0.9 million, or 0.5%, principally due to our unit volume declining 7.4%, or an estimated $16.1 million, for the quarter ended June 25, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 26, 2004. Partially offsetting our decline in conventional bedding unit volume, our conventional bedding average unit selling price (“AUSP”) increased 6.0%, or an estimated $12.4 million, for the quarter ended June 25, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 26, 2004. Our improvement in conventional bedding AUSP was primarily attributable to the shipment of our new product lines in 2005 which, on average, sell at higher prices that our 2004 product lines.

The second quarter conventional bedding unit decline of 7.4% was an improvement compared to the 15.2% unit decline in the first quarter of 2005 versus the comparable period of 2004. The second quarter unit decline was due principally to less units sold at “velocity” retail price points below $500 and premium retail price points above $2,000. To address these volume declines, we have introduced a new Deep Sleep® product line at the recently completed Las Vegas Furniture Market that better targets velocity retail price points which will be rolled-out between August 2005 and January 2006. Additionally, during the second quarter, we introduced new innerspring premium priced products to complement our HealthSmart^TM products, and the Beautyrest^® Caresse^® visco elastic (“memory foam”) products. Our increase in the second quarter unit sales versus the first quarter 2005 was a result of these new products introduced during the second quarter, as well as other pricing and product modifications which were made commencing in March 2005.

For the quarters ended June 25, 2005 and June 26, 2004, our wholesale bedding segment net sales reflect a reduction of $17.7 million and $19.5 million, respectively, for cash consideration paid to our customers for certain promotional programs, allowances and volume rebates. Our sales reductions decreased principally due to more of our co-op advertising costs meeting the criteria of a selling expense versus a sales reduction. For the quarter ended June 25, 2005, as a percentage of our sales, our aggregate co-op advertising expenditures, regardless of whether reported as a selling expense or a sales reduction were 0.3 percentage points lower than the aggregate co-op advertising expenditures for the quarter ended June 26, 2004.

Retail bedding segment sales in the second quarter 2005 decreased $0.4 million, or 2.3%, compared to the second quarter 2004 as a result of the sale of our Mattress Gallery retail operations on May 1, 2004. Mattress Gallery contributed $3.0 million of retail sales for the quarter ended June 26, 2004. On a comparable store basis, sales for our retail stores increased 14.6% for the quarter ended June 25, 2005 versus the quarter ended June 26, 2004. Retail segment same store sales have benefited from increased advertising by our retail segment and an improved retail sales environment in Washington and Oregon.

Gross Margin. The following table presents our gross profit by segment, gross margin as a percentage of segment net sales, and the gross margin percentage point change by segment for the quarter ended June 25, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 26, 2004:


											Margin %
	Gross Profit				Gross Margin						Point
	2005		2004		2005			2004			Change
	(in millions)
Wholesale bedding segment	$	80.7	$	81.6		41.9	%		43.4	%		-1.5	%
Retail bedding segment		10.0		9.7		53.1	%		50.4	%		2.7	%
Eliminations		0.1		0.3		-2.8	%		-5.9	%		3.1	%

Consolidated	$	90.8	$	91.6		43.6	%		45.4	%		-1.8	%

Our wholesale bedding segment gross margin declined 1.5 percentage points due primarily to (i) an increase in our conventional bedding material costs of 1.5 percentage points due principally to the inflation of raw material costs and the added material costs to make our products sold in the State of California meet California’s new open flame resistance standards which became effective January 1, 2005 and (ii) the selling in 2005 of juvenile products, which sell at lower margins, as a result of the Juvenile Acquisition, which resulted in a 0.6 percentage point decline in gross margin. Partially offsetting the decrease in our wholesale bedding segment gross margin, our conventional bedding labor and overhead costs in the aggregate decreased 0.6 percentage points primarily due to charges incurred in the second quarter of 2004 of $1.7 million, or 0.9 percentage points, related to the opening of Hazleton, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and the closure of our Columbus, Ohio manufacturing facility.

Our retail bedding segment gross margin improved 2.7 percentage points principally due to (i) the sale of our Mattress Gallery retail operations in May 2004, which had a lower margin product sales mix than our Sleep Country retail operations; and (ii) the gross margins at our Sleep Country retail operations improving due to a shift in sales mix to products that have higher gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). The following table presents our SG&A dollar amount by segment, as a percentage of segment net sales and the percentage point change by segment for the quarter ended June 25, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 26, 2004:


											Margin %
	SG&A				As a % of Segment Net Sales						Point
	2005		2004		2005			2004			Change
	(in millions)
Wholesale bedding segment	$	64.2	$	63.8		33.3	%		34.0	%		-0.7	%
Retail bedding segment		8.9		9.8		47.2	%		50.8	%		-3.6	%

Consolidated	$	73.1	$	73.6		35.1	%		36.5	%		-1.3	%

Our wholesale bedding segment SG&A for the second quarter of 2004 included $1.5 million, or 0.8 percentage points, of non-recurring distribution expense related to the incremental miles driven to service customers from existing manufacturing facilities while we were opening and closing manufacturing facilities during 2004. Exclusive of the impact of the incremental distribution expense on our SG&A for the second quarter of 2004, our 2005 wholesale bedding segment SG&A increased 0.1 percentage points principally due to higher (i) distribution expense of $2.0 million, or 0.9 percentage points, due principally to higher fuel costs and more miles driven; (ii) national advertising expenditures of $1.5 million, or 0.7 percentage points, due to the completion of advertising commitments related to our HealthSmart^TM national advertising campaign that was curtailed at the end of the first quarter of 2005; (iii) co-op advertising expenses of $2.0 million, or 0.9 percentage points, due to more of our expenditures meeting the criteria of a selling expense versus a sales reduction; (iv) consulting fees of $1.0 million, or 0.5 percentage points, due to our use of outside consultants in connection with our cost savings initiative and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts; and (v) severance expense of $0.7 million, or 0.3 percentage points, due to the voluntary early retirement phase of our people realignment plan.

Partially offsetting these increases, our wholesale bedding segment SG&A benefited from lower (i) provisions for bad debts of $2.3 million, or 1.3 percentage points, as a result of our improved customer credit profile and receivables aging, combined with the favorable settlement of a customer bankruptcy claim; (ii) bonus expense of $1.2 million, or 0.7 percentage points, due to lower anticipated management bonus payouts for 2005 than in 2004; and (iii) selling expenses of $0.9 million, or 0.7 percentage points, due to our lower sales volume.

Our retail segment SG&A decreased 3.6 percentage points primarily due to the sale of our Mattress Gallery retail operations as discussed above and our Sleep Country retail operations growing their same store sales which allows Sleep Country to better leverage their fixed costs, such as salaries, advertising and rent.

Plant Closure Charges. For the quarter ended June 25, 2005, we incurred less than $0.1 million of plant closure charges related to the closing of our juvenile manufacturing facility located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and the relocation to a temporary manufacturing facility. We anticipate moving from the temporary manufacturing facility into a permanent facility in Neenah, Wisconsin during the third quarter of 2005. For the quarter ended June 26, 2004, we incurred $0.8 million of plant closure charges related to the closing of our Columbus, Ohio manufacturing facility in April. The plant closure charges consisted of severance, retention, rent and costs to transfer equipment.

Amortization of Intangibles. For the quarter ended June 25, 2005, amortization of intangibles increased $2.6 million to $1.4 million from $(1.2) million for the quarter ended June 26, 2004. The increase in amortization expense is attributable to the purchase price allocation associated with the Acquisition which was not finalized until the second quarter of 2004. Prior to the finalization of the purchase price allocation, the amortization of intangibles was recorded based upon a preliminary valuation of the intangible assets.

Transaction Expenses. For the quarter ended June 25, 2005, we incurred $0.2 million in costs related to an acquisition that was not consummated. For the quarter ended June 26, 2004, we incurred transaction expenses of $0.7 million related to the sale of Mattress Gallery in May 2004.

Licensing Fees. For the quarter ended June 25, 2005, licensing fees increased $0.3 million, or 13.5%, to $2.8 million from $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 26, 2004. Licensing fees increased primarily due to improved sales for certain of our domestic licensees during the second quarter 2005 and additional royalties identified through a sales audit of a domestic licensee.

Interest Expense, Net. For the quarter ended June 25, 2005, interest expense increased $2.3 million, or 21.3%, to $13.2 million from $10.9 million for the quarter ended June 26, 2004. Interest expense increased due to higher LIBOR base rates on our senior credit facility, partially offset by lower average outstanding borrowings for the quarter ended June 25, 2005 compared to the quarter ended June 26, 2004.

Income Taxes. The combined estimated federal, state, and foreign effective income tax rate of 35.5% for the quarter ended June 25, 2005 differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to (i) tax benefits realized as a result of a decrease in the rate applicable to our Puerto Rico subsidiary’s deferred tax assets and liabilities and (ii) state income tax expense. The combined estimated federal, state, and foreign effective income tax rate of 36.0% for the quarter ended June 26, 2004 differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to (i) state tax rate benefits realized as a result of a decrease in the rate at which our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities were recorded; (ii) the tax effect of a valuation allowance increase for Sleep Country’s net deferred tax assets; and (iii) state income tax expense.

Six Months Ended June 25, 2005 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 26, 2004

Net sales. The following table presents our net sales and the dollar and percentage change by segment for the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004:


							$ increase			% increase
	2005			2004			(decrease)			(decrease)
	(in millions)
Wholesale bedding segment	$	382.3		$	394.8		$	(12.5	)		-3.2	%
Retail bedding segment		37.9			44.3			(6.4	)		-14.5	%
Eliminations		(6.6	)		(14.0	)		7.4			-53.2	%

Consolidated net sales	$	413.6		$	425.1		$	(11.5	)		-2.7	%

Wholesale bedding segment net sales decreased $12.5 million, or 3.2%, due principally to a decline in conventional bedding net sales of $23.5 million, or 6.0%, partially offset by an additional $11.9 million of net sales resulting from sales of juvenile products. Our decrease in conventional bedding net sales was principally due to a decline in our conventional bedding unit volume of 11.4%, or an estimated $51.4 million in sales, for the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004. Partially offsetting our decline in conventional bedding unit volume, our AUSP increased 6.3%, or an estimated $23.9 million in sales, for the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004. Our improvement in conventional bedding AUSP was primarily attributable to the shipment of our new product lines in 2005 which, on average, sell for higher prices than our 2004 product lines.

The first six months 2005 unit decline was due principally to (i) less units sold at “velocity” retail price points below $500; (ii) for the first quarter of 2005 all of our premium priced products included the HealthSmart^TM feature, which was not as successful as our previous premium priced products; and (iii) the rollout of our 2005 product lines which were initially not competitively priced at certain retail price points between $500 to $1,000. During the second quarter 2005, we introduced new innerspring premium priced products to complement our HealthSmart^TM products, and the Beautyrest® Caresse® visco elastic (“memory foam”) products. As a result of these new product introductions, as well as other pricing and product modifications made commencing in March 2005, our second quarter unit sales increased versus the first quarter of 2005. To further address the volume declines at velocity retail price points, we introduced a new Deep Sleep® product line at the recently completed Las Vegas Furniture Market that better targets velocity retail price points. This new product line will be rolled-out between August 2005 and January 2006.

For the six months ended June 25, 2005 and June 26, 2004, our wholesale bedding segment net sales reflect a reduction of $34.7 million and $32.1 million, respectively, for cash consideration paid to our customers for certain promotional programs, allowances and volume rebates. Our sales reductions increased principally due to more of our co-op advertising spending meeting the criteria of a sales reduction versus a selling expense. As a percentage of our sales, our aggregate co-op advertising expenditures, regardless of whether reported as a selling expense or a sales reduction, for the six months ended June 25, 2005, were comparable with the aggregate co-op advertising expenditures for the six months ended June 26, 2004.

Retail bedding segment sales decreased as a result of the sale of our Mattress Gallery retail operations on May 1, 2004. Mattress Gallery contributed $12.9 million of retail sales for the six months ended June 26, 2004. On a comparable store basis, sales for our retail stores increased 18.4% for the six months ended June 25, 2005 versus the six months ended June 26, 2004. Retail segment same store sales have benefited from increased advertising and an improved retail sales environment in Washington and Oregon.

Gross Margin. The following table presents our gross profit, gross margin as a percentage of segment net sales, and the gross margin percentage point change by segment for the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004.


												Margin %
	Gross Profit					Gross Margin						Point
	2005		2004			2005			2004			Change
	(in millions)
Wholesale bedding segment	$	161.7	$	176.8			42.3	%		44.8	%		-2.5	%
Retail bedding segment		20.2		18.4			53.4	%		41.6	%		11.8	%
Eliminations		0.3		(0.2	)		-3.7	%		1.9	%		-5.6	%

Consolidated	$	182.2	$	195.0			44.1	%		45.9	%		-1.8	%

For the six months ended June 26, 2004, our wholesale bedding segment gross margin was negatively impacted by (i) $2.6 million, or 0.7 percentage points, as a result of the selling of inventory recorded at fair market value in connection with the purchase accounting associated with the December 19, 2003 acquisition of the company by affiliates of Thomas H. Lee Equity Fund V (the “Acquisition”); and (ii) $3.4 million, or 0.9 percentage points, as a result of charges related to the opening of our Hazleton, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility in March 2004 and the closure of our Jacksonville, Florida and Columbus, Ohio manufacturing facilities in December 2003 and April 2004, respectively. Exclusive of the effects of the selling of the marked-up inventory and the plant opening and closing charges in the six months ended June 26, 2004, our wholesale bedding segment gross margin declined 4.1 percentage points in the first six months of 2005. Our decline in gross margin was due primarily to (i) an increase in our conventional bedding material costs of 2.2 percentage points due principally to the inflation of raw material costs and the added material costs to make our products sold in the State of California meet California’s new open flame resistance standards that became effective January 1, 2005; (ii) an increase in overhead costs of 1.3 percentage points due principally to the decline in our unit volume as discussed above and operating inefficiencies resulting from the ramp-up of production at our manufacturing facilities in Waycross, Georgia and Hazleton, Pennsylvania, which opened in March 2004 and August 2004, respectively; and (iii) the selling of juvenile products, which sell at lower margins, in 2005 as a result of the Juvenile Acquisition, which resulted in a 0.5 percentage point decline in gross margin.

Our retail bedding segment gross margin improved 11.8 percentage points principally due to the selling of inventory in 2004 recorded at fair market value in connection with Acquisition. Exclusive of the effects of the selling of the marked-up inventory in the six months ended June 26, 2004, our retail bedding segment gross margin improved 3.1 percentage points. Our retail bedding segment gross margin benefited from (i) the sale of our Mattress Gallery retail operations in May 2004, which had a lower margin product sales mix than our Sleep Country retail operations; and (ii) our Sleep Country retail operations shift in sales mix to products that have higher gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). The following table presents our SG&A dollar amount by segment, as a percentage of segment net sales and the percentage point change by segment for the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004:


											Margin %
	SG&A				As a % of Segment Net Sales						Point
	2005		2004		2005			2004			Change
	(in millions)
Wholesale bedding segment	$	134.8	$	136.1		35.3	%		34.5	%		0.8	%
Retail bedding segment		17.3		22.8		45.8	%		51.5	%		-5.7	%

Consolidated	$	152.1	$	158.9		36.8	%		37.4	%		-0.6	%

Our wholesale bedding segment SG&A for the first six months 2004 included $2.6 million, or 0.7 percentage points, of non-recurring distribution expense related to the incremental miles driven to service customers from existing manufacturing facilities while we were opening and closing manufacturing facilities during 2004. Exclusive of the impact of the incremental distribution expense on our SG&A for the first six months of 2004, our 2005 wholesale bedding segment SG&A increased 1.5 percentage points principally due to higher (i) national advertising of $6.1 million, or 1.6 percentage points, due to our HealthSmart^TM national advertising campaign that was curtailed at the end of the first quarter of 2005; (ii) distribution costs of $3.0 million, or 0.9 percentage points, resulting from higher fuel costs and more miles driven to service our customers; (iii) corporate function expenses of $2.2 million, or 0.6 percentage points, due to our biannual national leadership meeting which occurred in January 2005; (iv) consulting fees of $1.3 million, or 0.4 percentage points, due to our use of outside consultants in connection with our cost savings initiative and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts; and (v) severance expense of $0.7 million, or 0.2 percentage points, due to the voluntary early retirement phase of our people realignment plan.

Partially offsetting these increases, our wholesale bedding segment SG&A benefited from lower (i) non-cash stock compensation expense of $3.3 million, or 0.8 percentage points, as a result of the change in the fair market value of the equity held in our indirect parent’s, Simmons Company, deferred compensation plan that was terminated in June 2004; (ii) provision for bad debts of $2.3 million, or 0.6 percentage points, as a result of improved customer credit profile and receivables aging, combined with the favorable settlement of a customer bankruptcy claim; (iii) selling expenses of $3.0 million, or 0.5 percentage points, due principally to our lower sales volume; (iv) bonus expense of $2.9 million, or 0.7 percentage points, due to a lower anticipated management bonus payout for 2005 than in 2004.

Our retail segment SG&A decreased 5.7 percentage points primarily due to the sale of our Mattress Gallery retail operations as discussed above and our Sleep Country retail operations growing their same store sales which allows Sleep Country to better leverage their fixed costs, such as salaries, advertising and rent.

Plant Closure Charges. For the six months ended June 25, 2005, we incurred less than $0.1 million of plant closure charges related to the closing of our juvenile manufacturing facility located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and the relocation to a temporary manufacturing facility. The Company anticipates moving into a permanent facility in Neenah, Wisconsin during the third quarter of 2005. For the six months ended June 26, 2004, we incurred $0.8 million of plant closure charges related to the closing of our Columbus, Ohio manufacturing facility in April. The plant closure charges consisted of severance, retention, rent and costs to transfer equipment.

Amortization of Intangibles. For the six months ended June 25, 2005, amortization of intangibles increased $0.6 million, or 24.9%, to $2.9 million from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 26, 2004. The increase is attributable to the amortization of the customer contracts obtained in the Juvenile Acquisition.

Transaction Expenses. For the six months ended June 25, 2005, we incurred $0.2 million in costs related to an acquisition that was not consummated. For the six months ended June 26, 2004, we incurred transaction expenses of $0.7 million related to the sale of Mattress Gallery in May 2004.

Licensing Fees. For the six months ended June 25, 2005, licensing fees decreased $0.2 million, or 3.9%, to $4.9 million from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 26, 2004. The decrease in licensing fees was primarily due to lower sales of licensed products by a domestic licensee for the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004 partially offset by additional royalties identified through a sales audit of a domestic licensee.

Interest Expense, Net. For the six months ended June 25, 2005, interest expense increased $3.4 million, or 15.5%, to $25.4 million from $22.0 million for the six months ended June 26, 2004. Interest expense increased due to higher LIBOR base rates on our senior credit facility, partially offset by lower average outstanding borrowings for the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004.

Income Taxes. The combined estimated federal, state, and foreign effective income tax rate of 35.7% for the six months ended June 25, 2005 differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to (i) tax benefits realized as a result of a decrease in the rate applicable to our Puerto Rico subsidiary’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were recorded and (ii) state income tax expense. The combined estimated federal, state, and foreign effective income tax rate of 36.0% for the six

months ended June 26, 2004 differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to (i) state tax rate benefits realized as a result of a decrease in the rate at which our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities were recorded; (ii) the tax effect of a valuation allowance increase for Sleep Country’s net deferred tax assets; and (iii) state income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of cash to fund liquidity needs are (i) cash provided by operating activities and (ii) borrowings available under our senior credit facility. Our primary use of funds consists of payments to fund working capital increases, principal and interest for our debt, capital expenditures, customer supply agreements, and acquisitions. Barring any unexpected significant external or internal developments, we expect current cash balances on hand, cash provided by operating activities, and borrowings available under our senior credit facility to be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

The following table summarizes our changes in cash (in millions):

Six Months Ended June 25, 2005 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 26, 2004

Cash flows provided by Operating Activities. For the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004, our cash flows from operations decreased $19.7 million primarily due to a $6.3 million decline in net income combined with a $6.5 million decrease in cash provided by working capital changes.

Cash flows used in Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004, our cash flows used in investing activities increased $5.8 million. Our first six months 2005 uses included $3.3 million of contingent consideration paid related to the Juvenile Acquisition and capital expenditures of $2.6 million, $4.1 million less than in the first six months of 2004. Our capital expenditures were higher in 2004 primarily due to our opening a new manufacturing facility in Hazleton, PA during the second quarter. Our 2004 cash flows from investing activities benefited from $6.5 million

received from the sale of Mattress Gallery.

Cash flows used in Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 25, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 26, 2004, our cash flows used in financing activities decreased $12.3 million due primarily to reduced principal payments of on our debt of $12.9 million.

Debt

The terms of our senior credit facility required a mandatory prepayment of our tranche C term loan of $3.7 million, based upon our Consolidated Excess Cash Flows (as defined in the senior credit facility) for the year ended December 25, 2004. This payment was made in March 2005. In addition, we voluntarily prepaid $1.0 million of our tranche C term loan in June 2005. As a result of these prepayments, our next scheduled quarterly tranche C term loan principal payment will be in June 2006.

As of June 25, 2005, we had availability to borrow $64.9 million under our revolving loan facility after giving effect to $10.1 million that was reserved for our reimbursement obligations with respect to outstanding letters of credit. The weighted average interest rates per annum in effect as of June 25, 2005 for the tranche C term loan and senior unsecured term loan were 5.84% and 7.0%, respectively.

We have developed and implemented a policy to utilize extended Eurodollar contracts to minimize the impact of near term Eurodollar rate increases. For approximately $325 million of the tranche C term loan and $140 million of the senior unsecured term loan, we set the interest rate at the twelve month Eurodollar Rate on January 26, 2005, which fixed the Eurodollar Rate at 3.25% through January 26, 2006. To further address interest rate risk, we have an interest rate cap agreement for a notional amount of $170 million which capped the Eurodollar Rate at 5.0% for the period of January 26, 2005 through January 26, 2006. The interest rate cap 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 the interest rate cap agreement is less than $0.3 million. The execution of these debt instruments resulted in us fixing or capping the interest rate on approximately 87% of our floating rate debt as of June 25, 2005.

Our long-term obligations contain various financial tests and covenants. We were in compliance with such covenants as of June 25, 2005. However, if our operating results fall below current expectations, we may not be able to meet such covenants in future periods. If we are not in compliance with such covenants in future periods, we would be required to obtain a waiver from our lenders to avoid being in default. We may not be able to obtain such a waiver on a timely basis or at all. The most restrictive covenants relate to ratios of adjusted EBITDA to interest coverage (interest coverage ratio) and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA (leverage ratio), all as defined in the senior credit facility. There is also a maximum capital expenditure limitation in the senior credit facility. The minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio are computed based on our results for the last twelve months ended, adjusted for any acquisitions or dispositions. More specifically, the senior credit facility’s covenants, as amended, require:

	•		a minimum interest coverage ratio, with compliance levels ranging from an interest coverage of no less than 2.30:1.00 from June 30, 2005 through December 31, 2005; 2.40:1.00 from March 31, 2006 through December 31, 2006; 2.55:1.00 from March 31, 2007 through December 31, 2007; 2.75:1.00 from March 31, 2008 through December 31, 2008; and 3.00:1.00 from March 31, 2009 through each fiscal quarter ending thereafter.

	•		A maximum leverage ratio, with compliance levels ranging from total leverage of no greater than 6.50:1.00 from June 30, 2005 through December 31, 2005; 6.00:1.00 from March 31, 2006 through June 30, 2006; 5.75:1.00 from September 30, 2006 through December 31, 2006; 5.00:1.00 from March 31, 2007 through December 31, 2007; 4.50:1.00 from March 31, 2008 through December 31, 2008; and 4.00:1.00 from March 31, 2009 through each fiscal quarter ending thereafter.

	•		a maximum capital expenditure limitation of $30.0 million per fiscal year, with the ability to roll forward to future years unused amounts from the previous fiscal year, and also subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions and other events.

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the senior credit facility) differs from the term “EBITDA” as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income to exclude interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA also adjusts net income by excluding items or expenses not typically excluded in the calculation of “EBITDA” such as management fees; the aggregate amount of the fees, costs and cash expenses paid by us in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition (including without limitation, bonus and option payments); other non-cash items reducing consolidated net income (including, without limitation, non-cash purchase accounting adjustments and debt extinguishment costs); any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses or charges or credits; and any reasonable expenses or charges related to any issuance of securities, investments permitted, permitted acquisitions, recapitalizations, asset sales permitted or indebtedness permitted to be incurred, less other non-cash items increasing consolidated net income, all of the foregoing as determined on a consolidated basis for us in conformity with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because it is a material component of the covenants contained within the aforementioned credit agreements. Non-compliance with such covenants could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under such agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow. While the determination of “unusual and nonrecurring losses” is subject to interpretation and requires judgment, we believe the Adjusted EBITDA presented below is in accordance with the senior credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs.

The following is a calculation of our minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios under our senior credit facility as of June 25, 2005 (dollar amounts in millions, except ratios). The terms and related calculations are defined in our senior credit facility.


	June 25,
	2005
Calculation of minimum cash interest coverage ratio:
Twelve months ended Adjusted EBITDA(1)	$	112,139

Consolidated cash interest expense(2)	$	44,926

Actual interest coverage ratio(3)		2.50
Minimum permitted interest coverage ratio		2.30
Calculation of maximum leverage ratio:
Consolidated indebtedness	$	747,313
Less: Cash and cash equivalents(4)		30,000

Net debt	$	717,313

Adjusted EBITDA(1)	$	112,139

Actual leverage ratio(5)		6.40
Maximum permitted leverage ratio		6.50


(1)		Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended June 25, 2005 adds back to net income the following items: income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction related expenditures, plant opening and closing charges, certain litigation and insurance charges relating to previous periods, retail segment charges relating to previous periods, management fees, and other non-recurring/non-cash charges as permitted under our senior credit facility. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted to include the operating results of our Simmons Juvenile division as though we operated this division as of the beginning of the twelve months ended June 25, 2005.

(2)		Consolidated cash interest expense, as defined in the senior credit facility, for the twelve months ended June 25, 2005, as follows (in millions):


Interest expense, net	$	47,170
Interest income		114

Gross interest expense		47,284
Less: Non-cash interest expense		(2,358	)

	$	44,926

(3)		Represents ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense.

(4)		Our senior credit facility permits a maximum of $30.0 million of cash to be netted against our debt for purposes of this covenant computation. Actual cash at June 25, 2005 totaled $31.4 million.

(5)		Represents ratio of consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents to Adjusted EBITDA.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On December 15, 2004, our indirect parent, Simmons Company, completed a private placement of $269.0 million of 10% senior discount notes due 2014 (the “Discount Notes”) with an effective yield of 10.2%. The aggregate proceeds from the issuance of the Discount Notes was $165.1 million. The proceeds from the offering were used to make a dividend distribution to Simmons Company class A stockholders and to pay certain expenses related to the sale and distribution of the Discount Notes. The Discount Notes bear interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, which will be payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year commencing on June 15, 2010. Prior to December 15, 2009, interest will accrue on the Discount Notes in the form of an increase in the accreted value of the Discount Notes. Simmons Company’s ability to make payments on the Discount Notes is dependent on our earnings and distributions of funds to Simmons Company. As of June 25, 2005, the aggregate amount of Discount Notes outstanding was $173.9 million, which is not reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In connection with the sale of Mattress Gallery, we continue to guarantee approximately $1.3 million of Mattress Gallery’s obligations under certain store and warehouse leases that expire over various periods through 2010. We have no liability recorded for this obligation on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 25, 2005.

Seasonality/Other

For the past several years, there has not been significant seasonality to our wholesale bedding business. Our retail bedding business, which accounted for $37.9 million, or 9.2%, of our consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2005, has historically experienced, and we expect will continue to experience, seasonal and quarterly fluctuations in net sales, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. As is the case with many bedding retailers, our retail business is subject to seasonal influences, typically characterized by higher sales for the months of May through September, which impacts our second and third quarter financial results.

Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements based upon the fair value of the award. SFAS 123R eliminates the option to account for the cost of stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method as allowed under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We are considered a non-public entity as defined by SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R is effective for non-public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We expect to adopt SFAS 123R as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2006. We do not anticipate that SFAS 123R will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, (“SFAS 153”).

SFAS 153, in contrast to APB No. 29, requires exchanges of nonmonetary assets to be accounted for based on the fair market value of the assets exchanged, rather than at their historical cost. The provisions of SFAS 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005 and companies must apply the standard prospectively. We expect to adopt SFAS 153 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2006 and do not anticipate that SFAS 153 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information relative to our market risk sensitive instruments by major category as of December 25, 2004 is presented under Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2004.

Market Risk

The principal market risks to which we are exposed that may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position include changes in future raw material prices, fuel prices, and interest rates. We seek to minimize or manage these market risks through normal operating and financing activities and through the use of interest rate cap agreements, where practicable. We do not trade or use instruments with the objective of earning financial gains on the interest rate fluctuations, nor do we use instruments where there are not underlying exposures.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. In order to address this risk, the senior credit facility requires us to adopt interest rate protection measures on our variable rate indebtedness through December 19, 2005 such that 50% of our consolidated funded indebtedness is either fixed or protected.

not been designated for hedge accounting and, accordingly, any changes in the fair value are recorded in interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreement is less than $0.3 million. The execution of these debt instruments resulted in us fixing or capping the interest rate on approximately 87% of our floating rate debt as of June 25, 2005.

All other factors remaining unchanged, a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates for one year on our variable rate financial instruments would not have a material impact on earnings during 2005, but would result in an additional $3.7 million of interest expense in 2006.

Commodity Price Risks

The major raw materials that we purchase for production are wire, spring components, lumber, cotton, insulator pads, innersprings, fabrics and roll goods consisting of foam, fiber, ticking and non-wovens. The price and availability of these raw materials are subject to market conditions affected by supply and demand. In particular, many of our goods can be impacted by fluctuations in petrochemical and steel prices. Additionally, our distribution costs can be impacted by fluctuations in diesel fuel prices. We currently do not have a hedging program in place to manage fluctuations in commodity prices.

Item 4. Internal Controls 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 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.
