TEMPUR-PEDIC TO HOST WEBCAST OF ANALYST DAY

- Company Comments on Recent Business Trends

LEXINGTON, KY, September 5, 2007– Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of premium mattresses and pillows worldwide, today provided the following update related to its analyst day event at the Company’s new manufacturing facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The event will begin at 10:00 a.m. ET on September 6, 2007. The Company will provide a webcast link on the Investor Relations section of its website at www.tempurpedic.com. In addition, the Company will file the presentation in a Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In anticipation of questions regarding recent business trends, President & CEO H. Thomas Bryant commented, “We are pleased with order trends to date in the third quarter. In fact, throughout the quarter, U.S. retail consumer demand has been running ahead of our prior expectations across our mattress line.”

Bryant continued, “With consumer demand outpacing expectations, while our manufacturing facilities continue to operate very smoothly, some of our suppliers have been stretched beyond their short-term capacity. As a result, we have experienced some sporadic product shortages. We have taken actions to mitigate this situation and we currently anticipate shortages will be eliminated within the next several weeks.”

Separately, Mr. Bryant commented on the Company’s on-going stock repurchase authorization. Bryant stated, “As disclosed in early August, we expanded our credit facility as we had been aggressive buyers of our stock since the adoption of our most recent stock repurchase authorization. We continue to be active in the market utilizing a 10b5-1 plan, as we continue to view share repurchases as an excellent means to return value to shareholders. Consistent with our prior practice, we will update share count, interest expense and earnings per share implications when we publish our next quarterly report.”
