The Select Comfort Story
Select Comfort (NASDAQ: SCSS) was founded by an inventor and former innerspring mattress maker who simply wanted a better night's sleep. He created a mattress that uses air chamber technology, the best medium for providing comfort and support, with the unique attribute of personalized adjustability.

Founded in 1987, the Minneapolis-based company delivers net sales of $691 million annually, and has 30 U.S.-issued or pending patents. The company was recently ranked by Furniture/Today as the number-one bedding retailer in the nation for the seventh consecutive year. In addition to the company's headquarters in Minnesota, Select Comfort also has manufacturing and distribution facilities in South Carolina and Utah and 428 showroom stores across the USA. The company employs more than 2,500 people nationally.

Products: There are five models of The Sleep Number Bed by Select Comfort™. Mattresses are available in standard Twin, Full, Queen, Expanded Queen, King, California King and Grand King® sizes. In addition, the company sells pillows, blankets, bedding, mattress pads and other bedding accessories.

Studies show that The Sleep Number Bed by Select Comfort relieves back pain and improves sleep quality. More than 50,000 customers have provided testimonials, many saying that they are sleeping better on their Sleep Number bed than on their old innerspring mattress.

Partnerships: Select Comfort has been the "Official Bed Provider" for Ronald McDonald House Charities® since January 2001. The company has donated more than 3,700 Sleep Number beds to the 156 Ronald McDonald Houses in the U.S. to date. In addition to the beds, Select Comfort, along with its employees and vendor partners, has donated more than 5,500 employee volunteer hours and $640,000 in contributions from employee payroll deductions, retail promotions and other fundraising activities. The total value of these goods, services and cash contributions exceeds $3.2 million.

Select Comfort also has an exclusive partnership with Radisson Hotels and Resorts, which was announced in May 2004. The Radisson Sleep Number bed can now be found at Radisson properties in locations throughout the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.

Additionally, Select Comfort has a partnership with Winnebago Industries, which provides a more comfortable ride for its motor home owners by offering Sleep Number beds on selected Winnebago Industries models.

Distribution: The Sleep Number bed and accessories are available nationwide at 428 Select Comfort retail stores, at select furniture retailers (in the U.S. and Canada), through the company's national direct marketing operations (800-535-BEDS), and online at www.selectcomfort.com.




Message from our CEO

Not that long ago, I too was evaluating a career change. It was a difficult decision to leave behind the safely of a great company, good friends and mentors. However, in early 2000, I joined Select Comfort because I saw a unique opportunity.

Select Comfort has exceeded expectations, and the opportunities ahead are exciting. We are revolutionizing an industry- improving lives through personalized comfort and SLEEP NUMBER beds. Others have changed industries- CDs changed they way we listen to music and wireless phones transformed the way we communicate. These opportunities are infrequent and we are fortunate to have the opportunity that we have a Select Comfort. If you have a pioneer sprit and possess skills to support our large-scale growth potential, then you should consider joining our team.

Select Comfort strives to maintain a unique culture, and much of our motivation comes from helping others. We are building a “Select Force,” a lean organization of sales experts and business leaders, dedicated to customer satisfaction and to building a profitable, fast-growing company.

If you are skilled, passionate and interested in working hard to revolutionize how the world sleeps, then I look forward to having you join our team. Select Comfort is all I was looking for in a career and more.
