OF THE 2012 FORM 10-K

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Tempur-Pedic International Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tempur-Pedic International Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Tempur-Pedic International Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Tempur-Pedic International Inc. and Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 1, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

TEMPUR-PEDIC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation and Description of Business. Tempur-Pedic International Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is a U.S. based, multinational company. The term “Tempur-Pedic International” refers to Tempur-Pedic International Inc. only, and the term “Company” refers to Tempur-Pedic International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Tempur World, Inc. was formed on January 1, 2000 to combine the manufacturing facilities and the global distribution capabilities of all TEMPUR^® products, and Tempur-Pedic International Inc. was formed in 2002 to acquire Tempur World, Inc. This acquisition (“Tempur Acquisition”) was effective as of November 1, 2002.

The Company manufactures, markets and sells products including pillows, mattresses and other related products. The Company manufactures essentially all its pressure-relieving TEMPUR^® products at three manufacturing facilities, with one located in Denmark and two in the U.S. The Company has sales distribution subsidiaries operating in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America and has third party distribution arrangements in certain other countries where it does not have subsidiaries. The Company sells its products through four sales channels: Retail, Direct, Healthcare and Third party.

The Company reclassified certain accrued expenses and other current liabilities to other non-current liabilities and current deferred income tax assets and non-current deferred income tax liabilities to non-current deferred tax assets and current deferred income tax liabilities to conform to the 2012 presentation of consolidated financial statements. This change does not materially impact previously reported subtotals or totals within the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for any previous period presented.

(b) Basis of Consolidation. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Tempur-Pedic International and its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. As of December 31, 2012, the Company does not hold any interest in variable-interest entities.

(c) Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s results are affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory and legal actions. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, interest and monetary exchange rates, government fiscal policies and changes in the prices of raw materials, can have a significant effect on operations. While the Company maintains reserves for anticipated liabilities and carries various levels of insurance, the Company could be affected by civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims or proceedings.

(d) Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“OCL”), a component of stockholders’ equity, and included in net earnings only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign subsidiary or affiliated company. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchanges rates on the transaction date and on the settlement date.

(e) Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company is required to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the

7

TEMPUR-PEDIC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of accumulated OCL in stockholders’ equity and subsequently recognized in net income when the hedged item affects net income. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of a financial instrument is recognized in net income immediately. The gain or loss related to financial instruments that are not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in net income.

Derivative financial instruments are used in the normal course of business to manage interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks. Credit risk is managed through the selection of sound financial institutions as counterparties. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to the foreign currency forward contracts used to offset currency-related changes in the fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. These contracts are marked-to-market through earnings.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

(g) Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined by the first-in, first-out method and consist of the following:

	December 31,
(in millions)	2012		2011
Finished goods	$	68.5	$	65.4
Work-in-process		7.9		9.1
Raw materials and supplies		16.6		16.7
	$	93.0	$	91.2

(h) Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost at acquisition date and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

	Estimated Useful Lives
Buildings		25-30 years
Computer equipment and software		3-5 years
Leasehold improvements		4-7 years
Machinery equipment		3-7 years
Office furniture and fixtures		5-7 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or seven years. The Company allocates depreciation and amortization to cost of sales and within each line item of operating expenses.

(i) Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets, the asset is considered impaired and an expense is recorded in an amount required to reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its then fair value. Fair value generally is determined from estimated discounted future net cash flows (for assets held for use) or net realizable value (for assets held for sale).

(j) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. The Company performs an annual impairment test on all existing goodwill and other indefinite lived assets on October 1 of each year and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. The Company reviewed goodwill for impairment based on its identified reporting units, which include the Company’s North American and International operating segments. In conducting the impairment test, the fair value of each of the Company’s

8

TEMPUR-PEDIC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

reporting units is compared to its respective carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, further analysis is performed to assess impairment. The Company’s determination of fair value of the reporting units is based on an income approach, with an appropriate risk adjusted discount rate, and a market approach. Any identified impairment would result in an adjustment to the Company’s results of operations. The Company also tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets, principally trademarks, for impairment using a “relief-from-royalty” method. Significant assumptions inherent in the methodologies are employed and include such estimates as royalty and discount rates. The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2012, 2011 and 2010, none of which resulted in the recognition of impairment charges. For further information on goodwill and other intangible assets see Note 4, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

(k) Accrued Sales Returns. The Company allows product returns up to 90 days following a sale through certain sales channels and on certain products. Estimated sales returns are provided at the time of sale based on historical sales channel return rates. The level of sales returns differs by channel with the Direct channel typically experiencing the highest rate of return. Estimated future obligations related to these products are provided by a reduction of sales in the period in which the revenue is recognized. Accrued sales returns are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company had the following activity for sales returns from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012:

(m) Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax loss carry forwards. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in the period in which the enactment dates change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary on a jurisdictional basis to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain foreign and domestic tax positions utilizing a proscribed recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

(n) Revenue Recognition. Sales of products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, products are shipped and title passes to customers and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company extends volume discounts to certain customers and reflects these amounts as a reduction of sales. The Company also reports sales net of tax assessed by qualifying governmental authorities. The Company extends credit based on the creditworthiness of its customers. No collateral is required on sales made in the normal course of business.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and current economic conditions and also considers factors such as customer credit, past transaction history with the customer and changes in customer payment terms when determining whether the collection of a receivable is reasonably assured. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts included in accounts receivable, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets was $8.2 million and $6.8 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company reflects all amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling in net sales and the costs incurred from shipping and handling product in cost of sales. Amounts included in net sales for shipping and handling were approximately $4.9 million, $6.0 million and $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amounts included in cost of sales for shipping and handling were $99.7 million, $101.2 million and $87.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(o) Cost of Sales. Costs associated with net sales are recorded in cost of sales. Costs of sales includes the costs of receiving, producing, inspecting, warehousing, insuring, and shipping goods during the period, as well as depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets used in these processes.

(p) Sales promotions and incentives. At the time of sale, the Company records an estimate for sales promotion and incentive costs. Examples of sales promotion and incentive programs include cash discounts, funds for promotional and market activities, volume-based incentive programs and other sales discounts and promotional programs. For customer incentives that must be earned, the Company makes estimates related to the contractual terms, customer performance and sales volume to determine the total amounts earned. The expense of each program is classified either as a reduction from revenues and presented within net sales, or as a component of selling and market expenses, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

(q) Advertising Costs. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred except for production costs and advance payments, which are deferred and expensed when advertisements run for the first time. Direct response advance payments are deferred and amortized over the life of the program. Advertising costs are included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Advertising costs charged to expense were $164.5 million, $148.8 million and $96.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Advertising costs include expenditures for shared advertising costs that the Company reimburses to customers under its integrated advertising program. These obligations are accrued and expensed when the related revenues are recognized. Advertising costs deferred and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets were $8.2 million and $9.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(r) Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred and included in general, administrative and other expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Research and development costs charged to expense were approximately $15.6 million, $9.9 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(s) Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based payment transactions in which the Company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the Company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and deferred stock units (“DSUs”) is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost as expense for awards other than its PRSUs ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost associated with its PRSUs over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. The Company will recognize a benefit from stock-based compensation in equity if an incremental tax benefit is realized by following the ordering provisions of the tax law. Further information regarding stock-based compensation can be found in Note 10, “Stock-Based Compensation.”

(t) Treasury Stock. The Board of Directors may authorize share repurchases of the Company’s common stock (“Share Repurchase Authorizations”). Share repurchases under these authorizations may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchase or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as the Company, and a committee of the Board, deem appropriate. Shares repurchased under Share Repurchase Authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee share-based award plans. Treasury shares are accounted for under the cost method and reported as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Share Repurchase Authorizations may be suspended, limited or terminated at any time without notice.

(u) Fair Value Measurements. The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update which allows companies to assess qualitative factors to determine the likelihood of indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test currently required. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3) Acquisitions

Sealy Corporation

On September 27, 2012, the Company announced it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) to acquire Sealy Corporation (“Sealy”), by merging Sealy with a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Sealy, headquartered in Trinity, North Carolina, owns one of the largest bedding brands in the world, and manufactures and markets a complete line of bedding products. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of Sealy issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled and (other than shares held by Sealy or Tempur-Pedic or their subsidiaries or Sealy stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights) converted into the right to receive $2.20 in cash. The Company anticipates that the total consideration to be paid, including payments on account of existing Sealy options and equity share units and the assumption of outstanding indebtedness of Sealy less cash assumed, will be approximately $1,300.0 million. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of calendar 2013 and is subject to regulatory clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and other customary conditions. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Sealy and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, Sealy may be obligated to pay the Company a termination fee of $25.0 million. In addition, if antitrust enforcement agencies either commence or inform the parties that they intend to commence an action to enjoin the Merger, (i) the Company may be required to pay Sealy a termination fee of $90.0 million if both parties elect to terminate the Merger Agreement or (ii) a termination fee of $90.0 million (or $40.0 million if the Company elects to terminate the Merger Agreement but Sealy does not so elect to terminate) if the Merger does not close due to a failure to receive antitrust approval in the nine months following the execution of the Merger Agreement, subject to certain extensions.

Third Party Distributors

On July 5, 2012, the Company acquired its third party distributor in Brazil. The Company paid $2.2 million in cash to acquire this entity, with future payments due to the former owners if certain operational targets are met. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed include accounts receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, property, plant and equipment, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

On April 2, 2012, the Company acquired its third party distributor in Poland. The Company paid $1.7 million in cash to acquire this entity, with future payments due to the former owners if certain operational targets are met. Assets acquired include certain intangible assets, inventories and prepaid expenses and other current assets.

2011 Credit Facility

On October 18, 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2011 Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. On June 28, 2011, the Company amended and restated its 2011 Credit Facility, as amended, which increased the total availability under the 2011 Credit Facility to an aggregate of $770.0 million, added an option to increase domestic availability by an additional $250.0 million, extended the maturity date to June 28, 2016, and increased the applicable margins and certain fees to current market conditions.

The 2011 Credit Facility consists of domestic and foreign credit facilities (the “2011 Revolvers”) that provide for the incurrence of indebtedness up to an aggregate principal amount of $770.0 million. The domestic credit facility is a five-year, $745.0 million revolving credit facility. The foreign credit facility is a five-year, $25.0 million revolving credit facility. The 2011 Revolvers provide for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees (“Contingent Liabilities”) which, when issued, constitute usage and reduce availability under the 2011 Revolvers. The aggregate amount of Contingent Liabilities outstanding under the 2011 Revolvers was $1.0 million at December 31, 2012. After giving effect to Contingent Liabilities and $650.0 million in borrowings under the 2011 Revolvers, total availability under the 2011 Revolvers was $119.0 million as of December 31, 2012. Both credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin, as determined in accordance with a performance pricing grid set forth in the 2011 Credit Facility, plus one of the following indexes: London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) and for U.S. dollar-denominated loans only, a base rate. The base rate of U.S. dollar-denominated loans is defined as the higher of the Bank of America prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The Company also pays an annual commitment fee on the unused amount of the Credit Facility. The commitment fee is calculated based on the consolidated leverage ratio and ranges from 0.375% to 0.50%.

The 2011 Credit Facility is guaranteed by Tempur-Pedic International, as well as certain other subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International, and is secured by certain fixed and intangible assets of Dan-Foam ApS and substantially all the Company’s U.S. assets. The 2011 Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants and requirements affecting the Company, including a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio. The Company amended the 2011 Credit Facility to exclude the Senior Notes and related interest described below from the covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2012.

In conjunction with the Company amending and restating its 2011 Credit Facility, $6.2 million of deferred financing costs were capitalized and will be amortized over the five year extension.

Senior Notes

On December 19, 2012, Tempur-Pedic International issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2020 (the “Senior Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 19, 2012 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Tempur-Pedic International and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors. Upon the anticipated close of the Sealy Acquisition, Sealy and certain of its subsidiaries will become guarantors of the Senior Notes.

The Senior Notes mature on December 15, 2020, and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15, beginning on June 15, 2013. As part of the escrow arrangements described below, the Company funded into escrow $20.2 million to fund interest through October 1, 2013. At December 31, 2012, $19.3 million remained as prepaid interest and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Tempur-Pedic International has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at any time on or after December 15, 2016. The initial redemption price is 103.438% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The redemption price will decline each year after 2016 and will be 100.0% of the principal amount beginning on December 15, 2018. In addition, Tempur-Pedic International has the option at any time prior to December 15, 2016 to redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at 100.0% of the original principal amount plus a

TEMPUR-PEDIC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

“make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Tempur-Pedic International may also redeem up to 35.0% of the Senior Notes prior to December 15, 2015 under certain circumstances with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at 106.875% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Tempur-Pedic International may make such redemptions only if, after any such redemption, at least 65.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes issued remains outstanding.

The Indenture restricts the ability of Tempur-Pedic International and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur, directly or indirectly, debt; (ii) make, directly or indirectly, certain investments and restricted payments; (iii) incur or suffer to exist, directly or indirectly, liens on its properties or assets; (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, assets; (v) create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of certain of the subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International to pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of their capital stock; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; (vii) engage in sale-leaseback transactions; (viii) purchase or redeem capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (ix) issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries; and (x) effect a consolidation or merger. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications.

Concurrently with the closing of the Senior Notes, Tempur-Pedic International entered into an escrow and security agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with the Trustee, as escrow agent. The gross proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes, together with additional cash necessary to fund the redemption of the Senior Notes at the stated redemption rate and pay accrued interest to October 1, 2013, have been deposited into the escrow account. If the Sealy Acquisition is consummated on or prior to September 26, 2013, the amounts held in escrow will be released to Tempur-Pedic International to finance the cash purchase price of the Sealy Acquisition. If the Sealy Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to September 26, 2013, the Senior Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a redemption price of 100.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and the amounts held in the escrow account will be used to fund the redemption.

Also in conjunction with the issuance and sale of the Senior Notes, Tempur-Pedic International and the Guarantors have agreed through a Registration Rights Agreement to exchange the Senior Notes for a new issue of substantially identical registered notes under the Securities Act. Tempur-Pedic International and the Guarantors are required to pay additional interest if the Senior Notes are not registered within the specified time periods outlined within the Registration Rights Agreement.

2012 Credit Agreement

On December 12, 2012, Tempur-Pedic International and certain subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International as borrowers and guarantors, entered into a credit agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The 2012 Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility of $350.0 million (the “Revolver”), (ii) a term A facility of $550.0 million (the “Term A Facility”) and (iii) a term B facility of $870.0 million (the “Term B Facility”). The Revolver includes a sublimit for letters of credit and swingline loans, subject to certain conditions and limits. The Revolver and the Term A Facility will mature on the fifth anniversary of the closing and the Term B Facility will mature on the seventh anniversary of the closing. The Revolver, the Term A Facility and the Term B Facility are expected to close and fund in connection with the Sealy Acquisition. The obligations of the lenders to the 2012 Credit Agreement to make the initial loans at the closing of the Sealy Acquisition, and the loans subsequent to closing, are subject to certain customary closing conditions.

Borrowings under the 2012 Credit Agreement will generally bear interest, at the election of Tempur-Pedic International, at either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) Base Rate plus the applicable margin. For the Revolver and the Term A Facility, (a) the initial applicable margin for LIBOR advances is 3.00% per annum and the initial applicable margin for Base Rate advances is 2.00% per annum, and (b) thereafter following the delivery of financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter after closing, such applicable margins will be determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Company. The Term B Facility applicable margin is 4.00% per annum for LIBOR advances and 3.00% per annum for Base Rate advances.

Obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Tempur-Pedic International’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain limited exceptions; and the 2012 Credit Agreement is secured by first priority perfected security interests in substantially all Tempur-Pedic

TEMPUR-PEDIC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

International’s and the other borrowers’ assets and the assets of each subsidiary guarantor, whether owned as of the closing or thereafter acquired, including a first priority pledge of 100.0% of the equity interests of each subsidiary guarantor that is a domestic entity (subject to certain limited exceptions) and 65.0% of the voting equity interests of any direct first tier foreign entity owned by a subsidiary guarantor. The 2012 Credit Agreement requires compliance with certain financial covenants providing for maintenance of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and maintenance of a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio.

The 2012 Credit Agreement contains certain customary negative covenants, which include limitations on liens, investments, indebtedness, dispositions, mergers and acquisitions, the making of restricted payments, changes in the nature of business, changes in fiscal year, transactions with affiliates, use of proceeds, prepayments of certain indebtedness, entry into burdensome agreements and changes to governing documents and other junior financing documents. The 2012 Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including upon a change of control.

Tempur-Pedic International is required to pay an unused commitment fee, which initially is 0.50% per annum and which steps down to 0.375% per annum if the consolidated total net leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.50:1.00. Such unused commitment fee will be payable quarterly in arrears and on the date of termination or expiration of the commitments under the Revolver. Tempur-Pedic International will also pay customary letter of credit issuance and other fees under the 2012 Credit Agreement. Tempur-Pedic International’s existing credit facilities will remain in place until the closing of the Sealy Acquisition.

Interest Rate Swap

On August 8, 2011, the Company entered into a four-year interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates associated with the 2011 Credit Facility. Refer to Note 7, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments, including this interest rate swap.

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimates fair value of its financial instruments utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:

• Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

• Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.

16

TEMPUR-PEDIC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had an interest rate swap, which fair value was measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and is valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. The following table provides a summary by level of the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis:

			Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2012 Using:
(in millions)	December 31, 2012		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liability:
Interest rate swap	$	4.3	$	—	$	4.3	$	—
			Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2011 Using:
	December 31, 2011		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liability:
Interest rate swap	$	2.6	$	—	$	2.6	$	—

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility are at variable interest rates and accordingly their carrying amounts approximate fair value. Due to fact the Senior Notes were issued December 19, 2012, their carrying value approximates fair value. The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to manage the risk associated with exposures to foreign currency risk related to intercompany debt and associated interest payments. However, these foreign currency forward contracts are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(7) Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks related to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage risks from these market fluctuations. The financial instruments used by the Company are straight-forward, non-leveraged instruments. The counterparties to these financial instruments are financial institutions with strong credit ratings. The Company maintains control over the size of positions entered into with any one counterparty and regularly monitors the credit ratings of these institutions. The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to manage the risk associated with exposures to foreign currency risk related to intercompany debt and associated interest payments. However, these foreign currency forward contracts are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates on its 2011 Credit Facility. In order to manage this risk, on August 8, 2011, the Company entered into a four-year interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The Company designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of floating rate borrowings and expects the hedge to be highly effective in offsetting fluctuations in the designated interest payments resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate. The gains and losses on the designated swap agreement will offset losses and gains on the transactions being hedged. The Company formally documented the effectiveness of this qualifying hedge instrument (both at the inception of the swap and on an ongoing basis) in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transaction. The fair value of the interest rate swap is calculated as described in Note 6, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, taking into consideration current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties or the Company, as applicable.

As a result of this swap, the Company began paying interest at a fixed rate and receiving payment at a variable rate on December 30, 2011. The swap effectively fixes the floating LIBOR-based interest rate to 1.25% on $250.0 million of the outstanding balance under the 2011 Credit Facility, with the outstanding balance subject to the swap declining over time. The interest rate swap expires on December 30, 2015. The Company will select the LIBOR-based rate on the hedged portion of the 2011 Credit Facility during the term of the swap. The effective portion of the change in value of the swap is reflected as a component of comprehensive income and recognized as interest expense, net as payments are paid or accrued. The remaining gain or loss in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of the future cash flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion) or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized as interest expense, net during the current period.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments were recorded as follows:

(10) Stock-based Compensation

Tempur-Pedic International has two stock-based compensation plans which provide for grants of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock unit awards, performance shares, stock grants and performance based awards to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and Company advisors. The plans under which equity awards may be granted are the 2002 Option Plan and the Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “2003 Plan”). Tempur-Pedic International also has a stock-based compensation plan which permits eligible employees to purchase its shares at a discounted price, subject to certain guidelines set forth by its 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (“ESPP”). It is the policy of the Company to issue stock out of Treasury shares upon issuance or exercise of share-based awards. The Company believes that awards and purchases made under these plans better align the interests of the plan participants with those of its stockholders.

The 2002 Option Plan was adopted on November 1, 2002 and provides for grants of stock options to purchase shares of common stock to employees and directors of the Company. Options granted under the 2002 Option Plan that qualify as incentive stock options, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of Tempur-Pedic International’s common stock at the date of grant. Options granted under the 2002 Option Plan provided for vesting terms as determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant, which are generally based on 4 years of continuous service. Options can be exercised up to 10 years from the grant date and up to 5 years from the grant date for any stockholders who own 10.0% or more of the total combined voting power of all shares of stock of Tempur-Pedic International. Upon the exercise of all outstanding options under the 2002 Option Plan, Tempur-Pedic International will issue a maximum of 6.5 million shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustment provisions. In December 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution that prohibited further grants under the 2002 Stock Option Plan.

The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase up to certain limits, as set forth in the ESPP, of Tempur-Pedic International’s common stock annually over the course of two semi-annual offering periods at a price of no less than 85.0% of the price per share of Tempur-Pedic International’s common stock either at the beginning or the end of each six-month offering period, whichever is less. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the ESPP. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the ESPP. The ESPP is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. The Company may issue a maximum of 0.5 million shares of its common stock under the ESPP. Effective February 1, 2010, the Company suspended offerings under the ESPP indefinitely.

The 2003 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which, together with the Board of Directors, has the exclusive authority to administer the 2003 Plan, including the power to determine eligibility to receive awards, the types and number of shares of stock subject to the awards, the price and timing of awards and the acceleration or waiver of any vesting and performance of forfeiture restrictions, in each case subject to the terms of the 2003 Plan. Any of the Company’s employees, non-employee directors, consultants and Company advisors, as determined by the Compensation Committee, may be selected to participate in the 2003 Plan. Tempur-Pedic International may issue a maximum of 11.5 million shares of its common stock under the 2003 Plan.

In 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the terms of a Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”), established under the 2003 Plan. The LTIP awards consist of a mix of stock options and PRSUs. Shares with respect to the PRSUs will be granted and vest following the end of the applicable performance period and achievement of applicable performance metrics as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	5.7		$	16.7

The Company granted PRSUs during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Actual payout under the PRSUs is dependent upon the achievement of certain financial goals, based on net sales and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin targets. The Company recorded a benefit in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income of $10.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, after re-evaluation of the probability of meeting certain required financial metrics.

The following table shows the PRSUs granted under the LTIP:

(shares in millions)	Performance period	Target shares granted (1)		Weighted- average fair value per share
Year ended 2012	January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2014		0.1	$	71.52

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options granted. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are set forth in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the unbiased standard deviation of Tempur-Pedic International’s common stock over the option term. The expected life of the options represents the period of time that the Company expects the options granted to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant of the option for the expected term of the instrument. The dividend yield reflects an estimate of dividend payouts over the term of the award.

On June 20 and 25, 2012, the above suits were filed against the Company and two named executive officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, purportedly on behalf of a proposed class of shareholders who purchased the Company’s stock between January 25, 2012 and June 5, 2012. The complaints assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, alleging, among other things, false and misleading statements and concealment of material information concerning the Company’s competitive position, projected net sales, earnings per diluted share and related financial performance for the Company’s 2012 fiscal year 2012. The plaintiffs seek damages, interest, costs, attorney’s fees, expert fees and unspecified equitable/injunctive relief. The Company strongly believes that the shareholder suits lack merit and intends to defend against the claims vigorously. The outcome of these matters is uncertain, however, and although we do not currently expect to incur a loss with respect to these matters, we cannot currently predict the manner and timing of the resolution of the suits, an estimate of a range of losses or any minimum loss that could result in the event of an adverse verdict in these suits, or whether our applicable insurance policies will provide sufficient coverage for these claims. Accordingly, the Company can give no assurance that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Justewicz v. Sealy Corp., et al. (‘‘North Carolina Action’’) was filed on October 3, 2012, in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division in North Carolina (‘‘North Carolina Court’’). On November 13,

TEMPUR-PEDIC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2012, the Delaware Court of Chancery consolidated all five Delaware actions into a single action, which is now styled as In re Sealy Corporation Shareholder Litigation (‘‘Delaware Action’’). Plaintiff in the North Carolina Action and plaintiffs in the Delaware Action allege, among other things, that the defendants have breached their fiduciary duties to Sealy’s stockholders and that Sealy, the Company and Merger Sub aided and abetted the Sealy directors’ alleged breach of fiduciary duties. The complaints also claim that the consideration to be paid in the Merger to Sealy stockholders (the “Merger Consideration”) is inadequate, that the Merger Agreement contains unfair deal protection provisions, that Sealy’s directors are subject to conflicts of interests, and that the preliminary information statement filed by Sealy with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2012 omits material information concerning the negotiation process leading to the proposed transaction and the valuation of Sealy.

On October 12, 2012, plaintiff in the North Carolina Action brought a Motion for Expedited Discovery and for a Hearing and Briefing Schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. On October 24, 2012, defendants in the North Carolina Action brought a Motion to Stay the North Carolina Action in favor of the Delaware Action. On November 7, 2012, the North Carolina Action plaintiff amended his complaint to add allegations claiming that the preliminary information statement filed by Sealy on October 30, 2012 did not provide sufficient information. Following briefing and a hearing on November 8, 2012, the North Carolina Court stayed the North Carolina Action. On November 19, 2012, plaintiffs in the Delaware Action filed a consolidated amended complaint, a motion for expedited proceedings, and a motion for a preliminary injunction.

The Company believes that the allegations in these lawsuits are entirely without merit. On January 22, 2013, solely to avoid the burden, expense and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the parties to the Delaware Action entered into a memorandum of understanding setting forth an agreement-in-principle providing for a settlement of the Delaware Action (the “Proposed Settlement”). In connection with the Proposed Settlement, Sealy agreed to include certain supplemental disclosures in the information statement to be sent to Sealy stockholders. The Proposed Settlement provides for the release of all claims by Sealy stockholders concerning the Merger Agreement, the Merger, and the disclosures made in connection with the Merger, including all claims that were asserted or could have been asserted in the Delaware Action and the North Carolina Action. The Proposed Settlement does not provide for the payment of any additional monetary consideration to Sealy stockholders and the Proposed Settlement does not affect the rights of any Sealy stockholder to seek appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. The Proposed Settlement is subject to definitive documentation and approval by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

The outcome of the above litigation is uncertain, however, and although the Company does not currently expect to incur a loss with respect to these matters, the Company cannot currently predict the manner and timing of the resolution of the Merger Lawsuits, an estimate of a range or losses or any minimum loss that could result in the event of an adverse verdict in these suits, or whether the Company’s or Sealy’s applicable insurance policies will provide sufficient coverage for these claims. Accordingly, the Company can give no assurance that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to the operations of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results.

Subpart F income represents interest and royalties earned by a foreign subsidiary as well as sales made by certain foreign subsidiaries outside of their country of incorporation. Under the Code, such income is taxable to Tempur-Pedic International as if earned directly by Tempur-Pedic International.

At July 1, 2012, the Company had $352.7 million of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. operations on which no provision for U.S. federal and/or state income tax and foreign withholdings had been provided because Tempur-Pedic International intended to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside of the United States. Subsequent to July 1, 2012, the Company changed the classification of those earnings to reflect a change in management’s strategic objectives that could require the repatriation of foreign earnings. As a result of this change, the Company recognized $48.1 million of additional income tax expense during the year ended December 31, 2012 to record the applicable U.S. deferred income tax liability. As of December 31, 2012, the Company no longer has any undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are classified as permanently reinvested. The Company expects to repatriate non-U.S. cash holdings upon the closing of the proposed Sealy acquisition.

The following sets forth the amount of income before income taxes attributable to each of the Company’s operating segments for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

	Year Ended December 31,

U.S. GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the accounting and financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step requires the Company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires the Company to recognize in the financial statements each tax position that meets the more likely than not criteria, measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50.0% likelihood of being realized. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

(in millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	8.9
Additions based on tax positions related to 2011		1.9
Additions for tax positions of prior years		2.6
Settlements of uncertain tax positions with tax authorities		(0.1	)
Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	13.3
Additions based on tax positions related to 2012		1.1
Settlements of uncertain tax positions with tax authorities		(1.5	)
Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	12.9

The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized approximately $3.0 million, $(0.3) million, and $0.8 million in interest and penalties, respectively, in income tax expense. The Company had approximately $5.8 million and $2.8 million of accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company received an income tax assessment from the Danish Tax Authority (“SKAT”) with respect to the 2001, 2002 and 2003 tax years, an assessment with respect to the 2004 tax year during the third quarter of 2010, and an assessment with respect to the 2005 tax year during the second quarter of 2011, relating to the royalty paid by one of Tempur-Pedic International’s U.S. subsidiaries to a Danish subsidiary. In addition, during the second quarter of 2012, the Company received an income tax assessment with respect to the 2006 tax year of approximately $28.5 million. The position taken by SKAT could apply to subsequent years. The cumulative total tax assessment for all years is approximately $146.2 million including interest and penalties. The Company filed timely protests with the Danish National Tax Tribunal challenging the tax assessments. The National Tax Tribunal formally agreed to place the Danish tax litigation on hold pending the outcome of a Bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (“Bilateral APA”) between the United States and SKAT. A Bilateral APA involves an agreement between the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the taxpayer, as well as a negotiated agreement with one or more foreign competent authorities under applicable income tax treaties. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company filed the Bilateral APA with the IRS and SKAT. U.S. and Danish competent authorities have met to discuss the Company’s Bilateral APA, and additional meetings are expected. SKAT and the IRS met several times since 2011, most recently in September 2012, to discuss the matter. There were no significant changes in the parties’ respective positions during 2012. The parties have agreed to meet again in the spring of 2013 to continue the negotiation process. In the event the discussions and negotiations from that meeting do not yield a satisfactory result for the Company, the next step for the Company to resolve the matter would be to seek resolution of this issue through an administrative proceeding before the Danish National Tax Tribunal (the “Tribunal”). The Tribunal is a branch of SKAT that is independent of the discussions and negotiations that have taken place to date. If the Tribunal does not rule to the satisfaction of one or both parties, the party seeking redress may choose to litigate the issue in the Danish court system. If the Company moves from the Bilateral APA process to the Tribunal or a proceeding in the Danish court system, SKAT could require the Company to post a cash deposit or other security for taxes it has assessed in an amount to be negotiated, up to the full amount of the claim. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the proposed adjustments and will oppose the assessments before the Tribunal and in the Danish courts, as necessary. It is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change in the next twelve months. An estimate of the amount of such change cannot be made at this time. If the Company is not successful in defending its position to SKAT, the Tribunal or in the Danish courts that the Company owes no additional taxes, the Company could be required to pay significant amounts to SKAT, which could impair or reduce its liquidity and profitability.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company was notified of an impending tax examination in the U.S. for the years 2008 and 2009. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by the IRS in the U.S. for periods prior to 2008, U.S. state and local municipalities for periods prior to 2006, and in non-U.S. jurisdictions for periods prior to 2001. Additionally, the Company is currently under examination by various tax authorities around the world. The Company anticipates it is reasonably possible an increase or decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could be made in the next twelve months as a result of the statute of limitations expiring and/or the examinations being concluded on these returns. However, the Company does not presently anticipate that any increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits will be material to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s foreign net operating losses (“NOLs”) were $37.0 million and $36.8 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These NOLs expire at various dates through 2020. The Company has established a valuation allowance for net operating loss carryforwards and certain other deferred tax assets related to certain foreign operations. Management believes that, based on a number of factors, the available objective evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of these foreign NOLs and certain other timing differences related to some of its foreign operations. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets, other than those related to some of its foreign operations as discussed above. However, there can be no assurance that such assets will be realized if circumstances change. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, valuation allowances of $2.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively, were reversed in certain foreign jurisdictions as earnings trends over the last few years now make it more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions will be realized.

The income tax provision includes federal, state, and foreign income taxes currently payable and those deferred or prepaid because of temporary differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company records income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws.

The top five customers accounted for approximately 24.0%, 20.0% and 20.0% of the Company’s net sales for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net sales for one customer in the Company’s North American segment (Mattress Firm) represented more than 10.0% of consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012. The top five customers also accounted for approximately 29.0% and 19.0% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(14) Benefit Plan

The Company has a defined contribution plan (“the 401(k) Plan”) whereby eligible employees may contribute up to 15.0% of their pay subject to certain limitations as defined by the 401(k) Plan. Employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan after 90 days and are eligible to receive matching contributions upon one year of employment with the Company. The 401(k) Plan provides a 100.0% match of the first 3.0% and 50.0% of the next 2.0% of eligible employee contributions. All matching contributions vest immediately. The Company incurred $1.5 million, $1.5 million and $1.1 million of expenses associated with the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(16) Business Segment Information

The Company operates in two business segments: North America and International. These reportable segments are strategic business units that are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. The North American segment consists of the two U.S. manufacturing facilities and the North American distribution subsidiaries. The International segment consists of the manufacturing facility in Denmark, whose customers include all of the distribution subsidiaries and third party distributors outside the North American segment. The Company evaluates segment performance based on net sales and operating income. The Company allocates certain corporate operating expenses to the North America segment, which were $58.0 million, $55.8 million and $49.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no material allocations of corporate operating expenses to the International segment for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010. Substantially all of the net sales from external customers and long-lived assets included in the tables below for the Company’s North American segment relate to the Company’s U.S. operations. The Company’s North American and International segment assets include investments in subsidiaries which are appropriately eliminated in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, International investments in subsidiaries held by the North American segment were $320.1 million and $249.1 million, respectively. North American investments in subsidiaries held by the International segment at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $27.5 million and $23.5 million, respectively. The remaining inter-segment eliminations are comprised of intercompany accounts receivable. The effect of the elimination of the investments in subsidiaries is included in the inter-segment eliminations as shown below.

The sum of the quarterly earnings per common share amounts may not equal the annual amount reported because per share amounts are computed independently for each quarter and for the full year based on respective weighted-average common shares outstanding and other dilutive potential common shares. The Company’s quarterly operating results fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in the Company’s business.

(18) Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information

On March 18, 2013, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Sealy Corporation. As discussed in Note 5, Tempur-Pedic International issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Tempur-Pedic International and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by all of Tempur-Pedic International’s 100% directly or indirectly owned current and future domestic subsidiaries (the “Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The foreign subsidiaries (the “Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) represent the foreign operations of the Company and do not guarantee the Senior Notes. A subsidiary guarantor will be released from its obligations under the indenture governing the notes when: (a) the subsidiary guarantor is sold or sells all of its assets; (b) the subsidiary is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes; (c) the subsidiary’s guarantee of other indebtedness is terminated or released; and (d) the requirements for legal defeasance or to discharge the indenture have been satisfied. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, including transactions with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary guarantors and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Company has accounted for its investments in its subsidiaries under the equity method.

The following financial information presents Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, for the Ultimate Parent, Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries and Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had an interest rate swap, which fair value was measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and is valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. The following table provides a summary by level of the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis:

Business Segment Information

(16) Business Segment Information

The Company operates in two business segments: North America and International. These reportable segments are strategic business units that are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. The North American segment consists of the two U.S. manufacturing facilities and the North American distribution subsidiaries. The International segment consists of the manufacturing facility in Denmark, whose customers include all of the distribution subsidiaries and third party distributors outside the North American segment. The Company evaluates segment performance based on net sales and operating income. The Company allocates certain corporate operating expenses to the North America segment, which were $58.0 million, $55.8 million and $49.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no material allocations of corporate operating expenses to the International segment for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010. Substantially all of the net sales from external customers and long-lived assets included in the tables below for the Company's North American segment relate to the Company's U.S. operations. The Company's North American and International segment assets include investments in subsidiaries which are appropriately eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, International investments in subsidiaries held by the North American segment were $320.1 million and $249.1 million, respectively. North American investments in subsidiaries held by the International segment at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $27.4 million and $23.5 million, respectively. The remaining inter-segment eliminations are comprised of intercompany accounts receivable. The effect of the elimination of the investments in subsidiaries is included in the inter-segment eliminations as shown below.

The following table summarizes total assets by segment:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

(a) Basis of Presentation and Description of Business. Tempur-Pedic International Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is a U.S. based, multinational company. The term "Tempur-Pedic International" refers to Tempur-Pedic International Inc. only, and the term "Company" refers to Tempur-Pedic International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Tempur World, Inc. was formed on January 1, 2000 to combine the manufacturing facilities and the global distribution capabilities of all TEMPUR® products, and Tempur-Pedic International Inc. was formed in 2002 to acquire Tempur World, Inc. This acquisition ("Tempur Acquisition") was effective as of November 1, 2002.

The Company manufactures, markets and sells products including pillows, mattresses and other related products. The Company manufactures essentially all its pressure-relieving TEMPUR® products at three manufacturing facilities, with one located in Denmark and two in the U.S. The Company has sales distribution subsidiaries operating in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America and has third party distribution arrangements in certain other countries where it does not have subsidiaries. The Company sells its products through four sales channels: Retail, Direct, Healthcare and Third party.

The Company reclassified certain accrued expenses and other current liabilities to other non-current liabilities and current deferred income tax assets and non-current deferred income tax liabilities to non-current deferred tax assets and current deferred income tax liabilities to conform to the 2012 presentation of consolidated financial statements. This change does not materially impact previously reported subtotals or totals within the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for any previous period presented.

Basis of Consolidation

(b) Basis of Consolidation. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Tempur-Pedic International and its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. As of December 31, 2012, the Company does not hold any interest in variable-interest entities.

Use of Estimates

(c) Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's results are affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory and legal actions. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, interest and monetary exchange rates, government fiscal policies and changes in the prices of raw materials, can have a significant effect on operations. While the Company maintains reserves for anticipated liabilities and carries various levels of insurance, the Company could be affected by civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims or proceedings.

Foreign Currency

(d) Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("OCL"), a component of stockholders' equity, and included in net earnings only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign subsidiary or affiliated company. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchanges rates on the transaction date and on the settlement date.

Derivative Financial Instruments

(e) Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company is required to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of accumulated OCL in stockholders' equity and subsequently recognized in net income when the hedged item affects net income. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of a financial instrument is recognized in net income immediately. The gain or loss related to financial instruments that are not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in net income.

Derivative financial instruments are used in the normal course of business to manage interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks. Credit risk is managed through the selection of sound financial institutions as counterparties. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to the foreign currency forward contracts used to offset currency-related changes in the fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. These contracts are marked-to-market through earnings.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

Inventories

(g) Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined by the first-in, first-out method and consist of the following:

(in millions)
	December 31,
	2012		2011
Finished goods	$	68.5	$	65.4
Work-in-process		7.9		9.1
Raw materials and supplies		16.6		16.7
	$	93.0	$	91.2

Property, Plant and Equipment

           (h) Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost at acquisition date and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

	Estimated Useful Lives
Buildings	25-30 years
Computer equipment and software	3-5 years
Leasehold improvements	4-7 years
Machinery equipment	3-7 years
Office furniture and fixtures	5-7 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or seven years. The Company allocates depreciation and amortization to cost of sales and within each line item of operating expenses.

Long-Lived Assets

(i) Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets, the asset is considered impaired and an expense is recorded in an amount required to reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its then fair value. Fair value generally is determined from estimated discounted future net cash flows (for assets held for use) or net realizable value (for assets held for sale).

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

(j) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. The Company performs an annual impairment test on all existing goodwill and other indefinite lived assets on October 1 of each year and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. The Company reviewed goodwill for impairment based on its identified reporting units, which include the Company's North American and International operating segments. In conducting the impairment test, the fair value of each of the Company's reporting units is compared to its respective carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, further analysis is performed to assess impairment. The Company's determination of fair value of the reporting units is based on an income approach, with an appropriate risk adjusted discount rate, and a market approach. Any identified impairment would result in an adjustment to the Company's results of operations. The Company also tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets, principally trademarks, for impairment using a "relief-from-royalty" method. Significant assumptions inherent in the methodologies are employed and include such estimates as royalty and discount rates. The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2012, 2011 and 2010, none of which resulted in the recognition of impairment charges. For further information on goodwill and other intangible assets see Note 4, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".

Accrued Sales Returns

(k) Accrued Sales Returns. The Company allows product returns up to 90 days following a sale through certain sales channels and on certain products. Estimated sales returns are provided at the time of sale based on historical sales channel return rates. The level of sales returns differs by channel with the Direct channel typically experiencing the highest rate of return. Estimated future obligations related to these products are provided by a reduction of sales in the period in which the revenue is recognized. Accrued sales returns are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company had the following activity for sales returns from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012:

(in millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	4.4

Warranties

(l) Warranties. The Company provides a 25-year warranty for North American sales and a 15-year warranty for International sales on mattresses, each prorated. The Company also provides a 3-year warranty on pillows. Estimated future obligations related to these products are charged to cost of sales in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Estimates of warranty expenses are based primarily on historical claim experience and product testing. Warranties are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company had the following activity for warranties from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012:

Warranties charged to accrual		(5.5	)
Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	4.8

Income Taxes

(m) Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax loss carry forwards. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in the period in which the enactment dates change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary on a jurisdictional basis to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain foreign and domestic tax positions utilizing a proscribed recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Revenue Recognition

(n) Revenue Recognition. Sales of products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, products are shipped and title passes to customers and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company extends volume discounts to certain customers and reflects these amounts as a reduction of sales. The Company also reports sales net of tax assessed by qualifying governmental authorities. The Company extends credit based on the creditworthiness of its customers. No collateral is required on sales made in the normal course of business.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and current economic conditions and also considers factors such as customer credit, past transaction history with the customer and changes in customer payment terms when determining whether the collection of a receivable is reasonably assured. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts included in accounts receivable, net in theaccompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets was $8.2 million and $6.8 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011,respectively.

The Company reflects all amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling in net sales and the costs incurred from shipping and handling product in cost of sales. Amounts included in net sales for shipping and handling were approximately $4.9 million, $6.0 million and $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amounts included in cost of sales for shipping and handling were $99.7 million, $101.2 million and $87.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Cost of Sales

(o) Cost of Sales. Costs associated with net sales are recorded in cost of sales. Costs of sales includes the costs of receiving, producing, inspecting, warehousing, insuring, and shipping goods during the period, as well as depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets used in these processes.

Sales promotions and incentives

(p) Sales promotions and incentives. At the time of sale, the Company records an estimate for sales promotion and incentive costs. Examples of sales promotion and incentive programs include cash discounts, funds for promotional and market activities, volume-based incentive programs and other sales discounts and promotional programs. For customer incentives that must be earned, the Company makes estimates related to the contractual terms, customer performance and sales volume to determine the total amounts earned. The expense of each program is classified either as a reduction from revenues and presented within net sales, or as a component of selling and market expenses, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Advertising Costs

(q) Advertising Costs. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred except for production costs and advance payments, which are deferred and expensed when advertisements run for the first time. Direct response advance payments are deferred and amortized over the life of the program. Advertising costs are included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Advertising costs charged to expense were $164.5 million, $148.8 million and $96.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Advertising costs include expenditures for shared advertising costs that the Company reimburses to customers under its integrated advertising program. These obligations are accrued and expensed when the related revenues are recognized. Advertising costs deferred and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets were $8.2 million and $9.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses

(r) Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred and included in general, administrative and other expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Research and development costs charged to expense were approximately $15.6 million, $9.9 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

(s) Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based payment transactions in which the Company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the Company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the Company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") and deferred stock units ("DSUs") is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option's fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost as expense for awards other than its PRSUs ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost associated with its PRSUs over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. The Company will recognize a benefit from stock-based compensation in equity if an incremental tax benefit is realized by following the ordering provisions of the tax law. Further information regarding stock-based compensation can be found in Note 10, "Stock-Based Compensation."

Treasury Stock

(t) Treasury Stock. The Board of Directors may authorize share repurchases of the Company's common stock ("Share Repurchase Authorizations"). Share repurchases under these authorizations may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchase or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as the Company, and a committee of the Board, deem appropriate. Shares repurchased under Share Repurchase Authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee share-based award plans. Treasury shares are accounted for under the cost method and reported as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Share Repurchase Authorizations may be suspended, limited or terminated at any time without notice.

Fair Value Measurements

(u) Fair Value Measurements. The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

Stock options valuation assumptions

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options granted. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are set forth in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the unbiased standard deviation of Tempur-Pedic International's common stock over the option term. The expected life of the options represents the period of time that the Company expects the options granted to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant of the option for the expected term of the instrument. The dividend yield reflects an estimate of dividend payouts over the term of the award.

	Year Ended
	December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Expected volatility range of stock		49 -73	%		72 - 74	%		69 - 84	%

The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.

Tempur-Pedic International is authorized to issue up to 0.01 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each such series of preferred stock will have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as determined by the Board of Directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.

            (b) Share Repurchase Programs. During 2012, the Company purchased 5.0 million shares of the Company's common stock for a total cost of $150.0 million pursuant to authorizations made by the Company's Board of Directors in January 2012.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company has $100.0 million remaining under the January 2012 authorization. Share repurchases under this authorization may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as management and a committee of the Board deem appropriate; these repurchases may be funded by operating cash flows and/or borrowings under our debt agreements. This share repurchase program may be limited, suspended or terminated at any time without notice.

Acquisitions

(3) Acquisitions

Sealy Corporation

On September 27, 2012, the Company announced it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") to acquire Sealy Corporation ("Sealy"), by merging Sealy with a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). Sealy, headquartered in Trinity, North Carolina, owns one of the largest bedding brands in the world, and manufactures and markets a complete line of bedding products. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of Sealy issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled and (other than shares held by Sealy or Tempur-Pedic or their subsidiaries or Sealy stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights) converted into the right to receive $2.20 in cash. The Company anticipates that the total consideration to be paid, including payments on account of existing Sealy options and equity share units and the assumption of outstanding indebtedness of Sealy less cash assumed, will be approximately $1,300.0 million. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of calendar 2013 and is subject to regulatory clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and other customary conditions. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Sealy and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, Sealy may be obligated to pay the Company a termination fee of $25.0 million. In addition, if antitrust enforcement agencies either commence or inform the parties that they intend to commence an action to enjoin the Merger, (i) the Company may be required to pay Sealy a termination fee of $90.0 million if both parties elect to terminate the Merger Agreement or (ii) a termination fee of $90.0 million (or $40.0 million if the Company elects to terminate the Merger Agreement but Sealy does not so elect to terminate) if the Merger does not close due to a failure to receive antitrust approval in the nine months following the execution of the Merger Agreement, subject to certain extensions.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-based Compensation

(10) Stock-based Compensation

Tempur-Pedic International has two stock-based compensation plans which provide for grants of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock unit awards, performance shares, stock grants and performance based awards to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and Company advisors. The plans under which equity awards may be granted are the 2002 Option Plan and the Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the "2003 Plan").  Tempur-Pedic International also has a stock-based compensation plan which permits eligible employees to purchase its shares at a discounted price, subject to certain guidelines set forth by its 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended ("ESPP"). It is the policy of the Company to issue stock out of Treasury shares upon issuance or exercise of share-based awards. The Company believes that awards and purchases made under these plans better align the interests of the plan participants with those of its stockholders.

The 2002 Option Plan was adopted on November 1, 2002 and provides for grants of stock options to purchase shares of common stock to employees and directors of the Company. Options granted under the 2002 Option Plan that qualify as incentive stock options, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of Tempur-Pedic International's common stock at the date of grant. Options granted under the 2002 Option Plan provided for vesting terms as determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant, which are generally based on 4 years of continuous service. Options can be exercised up to 10 years from the grant date and up to 5 years from the grant date for any stockholders who own 10.0% or more of the total combined voting power of all shares of stock of Tempur-Pedic International.  Upon the exercise of all outstanding options under the 2002 Option Plan, Tempur-Pedic International will issue a maximum of 6.5 million shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustment provisions. In December 2003, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a resolution that prohibited further grants under the 2002 Stock Option Plan.

The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase up to certain limits, as set forth in the ESPP, of Tempur-Pedic International's common stock annually over the course of two semi-annual offering periods at a price of no less than 85.0% of the price per share of Tempur-Pedic International's common stock either at the beginning or the end of each six-month offering period, whichever is less. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the ESPP. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the ESPP. The ESPP is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. The Company may issue a maximum of 0.5 million shares of its common stock under the ESPP. Effective February 1, 2010, the Company suspended offerings under the ESPP indefinitely.

The 2003 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which, together with the Board of Directors, has the exclusive authority to administer the 2003 Plan, including the power to determine eligibility to receive awards, the types and number of shares of stock subject to the awards, the price and timing of awards and the acceleration or waiver of any vesting and performance of forfeiture restrictions, in each case subject to the terms of the 2003 Plan. Any of the Company's employees, non-employee directors, consultants and Company advisors, as determined by the Compensation Committee, may be selected to participate in the 2003 Plan. Tempur-Pedic International may issue a maximum of 11.5 million shares of its common stock under the 2003 Plan.

In 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the terms of a Long-Term Incentive Program ("LTIP"), established under the 2003 Plan. The LTIP awards consist of a mix of stock options and PRSUs. Shares with respect to the PRSUs will be granted and vest following the end of the applicable performance period and achievement of applicable performance metrics as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Company's stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 included PRSUs, stock options, RSUs and DSUs. A summary of the Company's stock-based compensation expense is presented below:

(in millions)	Year Ended
	December 31,
	2012			2011
PRSU (benefit) expense	$	(0.9	)		$	9.5
Option expense		4.4				5.2
RSU/DSU expense		2.2				2.0
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	5.7			$	16.7

The Company granted PRSUs during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Actual payout under the PRSUs is dependent upon the achievement of certain financial goals, based on net sales and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin targets. The Company recorded a benefit in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income of $10.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012, after re-evaluation of the probability of meeting certain required financial metrics. A summary of the Company's PRSU activity and related information for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is presented below.

The following table shows the PRSUs granted under the LTIP:

(shares in millions)
	Performance period	Target shares granted	(1)		Weighted-average fair value per share
Year ended 2012	January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2014	0.1		$	71.52
Year ended 2011	January 1, 2011 – December 31, 2013	0.1		$	46.68
Year ended 2010	January 1, 2010 – December 31, 2012	0.1		$	28.48

(1) At the end of the performance period, the actual number of shares issuable can range from zero to 300.0% of the target shares granted, which is assumed to be 100.0%.

A summary of the Company's PRSU activity and related information for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is presented below

(1) The current year includes approximately 0.3 million additional shares from the 2010 PRSU grant due to exceeding the initial 100.0% target.

During the year no PRSUs transferred ownership. The aggregate intrinsic value of PRSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2012 was $21.0 million.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options granted. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are set forth in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the unbiased standard deviation of Tempur-Pedic International's common stock over the option term. The expected life of the options represents the period of time that the Company expects the options granted to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant of the option for the expected term of the instrument. The dividend yield reflects an estimate of dividend payouts over the term of the award.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimates fair value of its financial instruments utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:

·   Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·   Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

·   Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had an interest rate swap, which fair value was measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and is valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. The following table provides a summary by level of the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis:

(in millions)
			Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2012 Using:
	December 31, 2012		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liability:
Interest rate swap	$	4.3	$	—	$	4.3	$	—

(in millions)
				Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2011 using:
	December 31, 2011			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)			Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liability:
Interest rate swap		$	2.6		$	—		$	2.6		$	—

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility are at variable interest rates and accordingly their carrying amounts approximate fair value. Due to the fact that the Senior Notes were issued December 19, 2012, their carrying value approximates fair value. The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to manage the risk associated with exposures to foreign currency risk related to intercompany debt and associated interest payments. However, these foreign currency forward contracts are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

2011 Credit Facility

On October 18, 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "2011 Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks. On June 28, 2011, the Company amended and restated its 2011 Credit Facility, as amended, which increased the total availability under the 2011 Credit Facility to an aggregate of $770.0 million, added an option to increase domestic availability by an additional $250.0 million, extended the maturity date to June 28, 2016, and increased the applicable margins and certain fees to current market conditions.

The 2011 Credit Facility consists of domestic and foreign credit facilities (the "2011 Revolvers") that provide for the incurrence of indebtedness up to an aggregate principal amount of $770.0 million. The domestic credit facility is a five-year, $745.0 million revolving credit facility. The foreign credit facility is a five-year, $25.0 million revolving credit facility. The 2011 Revolvers provide for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees ("Contingent Liabilities") which, when issued, constitute usage and reduce availability under the 2011 Revolvers. The aggregate amount of Contingent Liabilities outstanding under the 2011 Revolvers was $1.0 million at December 31, 2012. After giving effect to Contingent Liabilities and $650.0 million in borrowings under the 2011 Revolvers, total availability under the 2011 Revolvers was $119.0 million as of December 31, 2012. Both credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin, as determined in accordance with a performance pricing grid set forth in the 2011 Credit Facility, plus one of the following indexes: London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) and for U.S. dollar-denominated loans only, a base rate. The base rate of U.S. dollar-denominated loans is defined as the higher of the Bank of America prime rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The Company also pays an annual commitment fee on the unused amount of the Credit Facility. The commitment fee is calculated based on the consolidated leverage ratio and ranges from 0.375% to 0.50%.

The 2011 Credit Facility is guaranteed by Tempur-Pedic International, as well as certain other subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International, and is secured by certain fixed and intangible assets of Dan-Foam ApS and substantially all the Company's U.S. assets. The 2011 Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants and requirements affecting the Company, including a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio. The Company amended the 2011 Credit Facility to exclude the Senior Notes and related interest described below from the covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2012.

In conjunction with the Company amending and restating its 2011 Credit Facility, $6.2 million of deferred financing costs were capitalized and will be amortized over the five year extension.

Senior Notes

On December 19, 2012, Tempur-Pedic International issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior notes due 2020 (the "Senior Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 19, 2012 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, certain subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International as guarantors (the "Guarantors") and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Tempur-Pedic International and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors. Upon the anticipated close of the Sealy Acquisition, Sealy and certain of its subsidiaries will become guarantors of the Senior Notes.

The Senior Notes mature on December 15, 2020, and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15, beginning on June 15, 2013. As part of the escrow arrangements described below, the Company funded into escrow $20.2 million to fund interest through October 1, 2013. At December 31, 2012, $19.3 million remained as prepaid interest and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Tempur-Pedic International has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at any time on or after December 15, 2016.  The initial redemption price is 103.438% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.  The redemption price will decline each year after 2016 and will be 100.0% of the principal amount beginning on December 15, 2018.  In addition, Tempur-Pedic International has the option at any time prior to December 15, 2016 to redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at 100.0% of the original principal amount plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any. Tempur-Pedic International may also redeem up to 35.0% of the Senior Notes prior to December 15, 2015 under certain circumstances with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at 106.875% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.  Tempur-Pedic International may make such redemptions only if, after any such redemption, at least 65.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes issued remains outstanding.

The Indenture restricts the ability of Tempur-Pedic International and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur, directly or indirectly, debt; (ii) make, directly or indirectly, certain investments and restricted payments; (iii) incur or suffer to exist, directly or indirectly, liens on its properties or assets; (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, assets; (v) create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of certain of the subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International to pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of their capital stock; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliate; (vii) engage in sale-leaseback transactions; (viii) purchase or redeem capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (ix) issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiairies; and (x) effect a consolidation or merger. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications.

Concurrently with the closing of the Senior Notes,Tempur-Pedic International entered into an escrow and security agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") with the Trustee, as escrow agent. The gross proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes, together with additional cash necessary to fund the redemption of the Senior Notes at the stated redemption rate and pay accrued interest to October 1, 2013, have been deposited into the escrow account.   If the Sealy Acquisition is consummated on or prior to September 26, 2013, the amounts held in escrow will be released to Tempur-Pedic International to finance the cash purchase price of the Sealy Acquisition.  If the Sealy Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to September 26, 2013, the Senior Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a redemption price of 100.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and the amounts held in the escrow account will be used to fund the redemption.

Also in conjunction with the issuance and sale of the Senior Notes, Tempur-Pedic International and the Guarantors have agreed through a Registration Rights Agreement to exchange the Senior Notes for a new issue of substantially identical registered notes under the Securities Act. Tempur-Pedic International and the Guarantors are required to pay additional interest if the Senior Notes are not registered within the specified time periods outlined within the Registration Rights Agreement.

2012 Credit Agreement

On December 12, 2012, Tempur-Pedic International and certain subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International as borrowers and guarantors, entered into a credit agreement (the "2012 Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks. The 2012 Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility of $350.0 million (the "Revolver"), (ii) a term A facility of $550.0 million (the "Term A Facility") and (iii) a term B facility of $870.0 million (the "Term B Facility"). The Revolver includes a sublimit for letters of credit and swingline loans, subject to certain conditions and limits. The Revolver and the Term A Facility will mature on the fifth anniversary of the closing and the Term B Facility will mature on the seventh anniversary of the closing. The Revolver, the Term A Facility and the Term B Facility are expected to close and fund in connection with the Sealy Acquisition. The obligations of the lenders to the 2012 Credit Agreement to make the initial loans at the closing of the Sealy Acquisition and the loans subsequent to closing are subject to certain customary closing conditions.

Borrowings under the 2012 Credit Agreement will generally bear interest, at the election of Tempur-Pedic International, at either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) Base Rate plus the applicable margin. For the Revolver and the Term A Facility, (a) the initial applicable margin for LIBOR advances is 3.00% per annum and the initial applicable margin for Base Rate advances is 2.00% per annum, and (b) thereafter following the delivery of financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter after closing, such applicable margins will be determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Company. The Term B Facility applicable margin is 4.00% per annum for LIBOR advances and 3.00% per annum for Base Rate advances.

Obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Tempur-Pedic International's existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain limited exceptions; and the Credit Agreement is secured by first priority perfected security interests in substantially all Tempur-Pedic International's and the other borrowers' assets and the assets of each subsidiary guarantor, whether owned as of the closing or thereafter acquired, including a first priority pledge of 100.0% of the equity interests of each subsidiary guarantor that is a domestic entity (subject to certain limited exceptions) and 65.0% of the voting equity interests of any direct first tier foreign entity owned by a subsidiary guarantor. The 2012 Credit Agreement requires compliance with certain financial covenants providing for maintenance of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and maintenance of a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio.

The 2012 Credit Agreement contains certain customary negative covenants, which include limitations on liens, investments, indebtedness, dispositions, mergers and acquisitions, the making of restricted payments, changes in the nature of business, changes in fiscal year, transactions with affiliates, use of proceeds, prepayments of certain indebtedness, entry into burdensome agreements and changes to governing documents and other junior financing documents. The 2012 Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including upon a change of control.

Tempur-Pedic International is required to pay an unused commitment fee, which initially is 0.50% per annum and which steps down to 0.375% per annum if the consolidated total net leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.50:1.00. Such unused commitment fee will be payable quarterly in arrears and on the date of termination or expiration of the commitments under the Revolver. Tempur-Pedic International will also pay customary letter of credit issuance and other fees under the 2012 Credit Agreement. Tempur-Pedic International's existing credit facilities will remain in place until the closing of the Sealy Acquisition.

Interest Rate Swap

On August 8, 2011, the Company entered into a four-year interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates associated with the 2011 Credit Facility.

Derivative Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

(7) Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks related to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage risks from these market fluctuations. The financial instruments used by the Company are straight-forward, non-leveraged instruments. The counterparties to these financial instruments are financial institutions with strong credit ratings. The Company maintains control over the size of positions entered into with any one counterparty and regularly monitors the credit ratings of these institutions. The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to manage the risk associated with exposures to foreign currency risk related to intercompany debt and associated interest payments. However, these foreign currency forward contracts are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates on its 2011 Credit Facility. In order to manage this risk, on August 8, 2011, the Company entered into a four-year interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The Company designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of floating rate borrowings and expects the hedge to be highly effective in offsetting fluctuations in the designated interest payments resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate. The gains and losses on the designated swap agreement will offset losses and gains on the transactions being hedged. The Company formally documented the effectiveness of this qualifying hedge instrument (both at the inception of the swap and on an ongoing basis) in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transaction. The fair value of the interest rate swap is calculated as described in Note 6, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments", taking into consideration current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties or the Company, as applicable.

As a result of this swap, the Company began paying interest at a fixed rate and receiving payment at a variable rate on December 30, 2011. The swap effectively fixes the floating LIBOR-based interest rate to 1.25% on $250.0 million of the outstanding balance under the 2011 Credit Facility, with the outstanding balance subject to the swap declining over time. The interest rate swap expires on December 30, 2015. The Company will select the LIBOR-based rate on the hedged portion of the 2011 Credit Facility during the term of the swap. The effective portion of the change in value of the swap is reflected as a component of comprehensive income and recognized as interest expense, net as payments are paid or accrued. The remaining gain or loss in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of the future cash flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion) or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized as interest expense, net during the current period.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments were recorded as follows:

Income Taxes

(12) Income Taxes

The Company's effective income tax provision differs from the amount calculated using the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate, principally due to the following:

Subpart F income represents interest and royalties earned by a foreign subsidiary as well as sales made by certain foreign subsidiaries outside of their country of incorporation. Under the Code, such income is taxable to Tempur-Pedic International as if earned directly by Tempur-Pedic International.

At July 1, 2012, the Company had $352.7 million of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. operations on which no provision for U.S. federal and/or state income tax and foreign withholdings had been provided because Tempur-Pedic International intended to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside of the United States. Subsequent to July 1, 2012, the Company changed the classification of those earnings to reflect a change in management's strategic objectives that could require the repatriation of foreign earnings. As a result of this change, the Company recognized $48.1 million of additional income tax expense during the year ended December 31, 2012 to record the applicable U.S. deferred income tax liability. As of December 31, 2012, the Company no longer has any undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are classified as permanently reinvested. The Company expects to repatriate non-U.S. cash holdings upon the closing of the proposed Sealy acquisition.

The following sets forth the amount of income before income taxes attributable to each of the Company's operating segments for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

(in millions)
	Year Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2010
Income before income taxes:
North America	$	126.2	$	224.6	$	137.7
International		103.0		103.8		93.2
Consolidated	$	229.2	$	328.4	$	230.9

U.S. GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the accounting and financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step requires the Company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires the Company to recognize in the financial statements each tax position that meets the more likely than not criteria, measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50.0% likelihood of being realized.  A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

(in millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	8.9
Additions based on tax positions related to 2011		1.9
Additions for tax positions of prior years		2.6
Settlements of uncertain tax positions with tax authorities		(0.1	)
Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	13.3
Additions based on tax positions related to 2012		1.1
Settlements of uncertain tax positions with tax authorities		(1.5	)
Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	12.9

The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized approximately $3.0 million, $(0.3) million, and $0.8 million in interest and penalties, respectively, in income tax expense.  The Company had approximately $5.8 million and $2.8 million of accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company received an income tax assessment from the Danish Tax Authority ("SKAT") with respect to the 2001, 2002 and 2003 tax years, an assessment with respect to the 2004 tax year during the third quarter of 2010, and an assessment with respect to the 2005 tax year during the second quarter of 2011, relating to the royalty paid by one of Tempur-Pedic International's U.S. subsidiaries to a Danish subsidiary. In addition, during the second quarter of 2012, the Company received an income tax assessment with respect to the 2006 tax year of approximately $28.5 million. The position taken by SKAT could apply to subsequent years. The cumulative total tax assessment for all years is approximately $146.2 million including interest and penalties. The Company filed timely protests with the Danish National Tax Tribunal challenging the tax assessments. The National Tax Tribunal formally agreed to place the Danish tax litigation on hold pending the outcome of a Bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement ("Bilateral APA") between the United States and SKAT. A Bilateral APA involves an agreement between the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the taxpayer, as well as a negotiated agreement with one or more foreign competent authorities under applicable income tax treaties. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company filed the Bilateral APA with the IRS and SKAT. U.S. and Danish competent authorities have met to discuss the Company's Bilateral APA, and additional meetings are expected. SKAT and the IRS met several times since 2011, most recently in September 2012, to discuss the matter. There were no significant changes in the parties' respective positions during 2012. The parties have agreed to meet again in the spring of 2013 to continue the negotiation process. In the event the discussions and negotiations from that meeting do not yield a satisfactory result for the Company, the next step for the Company to resolve the matter would be to seek resolution of this issue through an administrative proceeding before the Danish National Tax Tribunal (the "Tribunal"). The Tribunal is a branch of SKAT that is independent of the discussions and negotiations that have taken place to date. If the Tribunal does not rule to the satisfaction of one or both parties, the party seeking redress may choose to litigate the issue in the Danish court system. If the company moves from the Bilateral APA process to the Tribunal or a proceeding in the Danish court system, the SKAT could require the Company to post a cash deposit or other security for taxes it has assessed in an amount to be negotiated, up to the full amount of the claim. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the proposed adjustments and will oppose the assessments before the Tribunal and in the Danish courts, as necessary. It is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change in the next twelve months. An estimate of the amount of such change cannot be made at this time. If the Company is not successful in defending its position to SKAT, the Tribunal or in the Danish courts that the Company owes no additional taxes, the Company could be required to pay significant amounts to SKAT, which could impair or reduce its liquidity and profitability.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company was notified of an impending tax examination in the U.S. for the years 2008 and 2009. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by the IRS in the U.S. for periods prior to 2008, U.S. state and local municipalities for periods prior to 2006, and in non-U.S. jurisdictions for periods prior to 2001. Additionally, the Company is currently under examination by various tax authorities around the world. The Company anticipates it is reasonably possible an increase or decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could be made in the next twelve months as a result of the statute of limitations expiring and/or the examinations being concluded on these returns. However, the Company does not presently anticipate that any increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits will be material to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company's foreign net operating losses ("NOLs") were $37.0 million and $36.8 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These NOLs expire at various dates through 2020. The Company has established a valuation allowance for net operating loss carryforwards and certain other deferred tax assets related to certain foreign operations. Management believes that, based on a number of factors, the available objective evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realizability of these foreign NOLs and certain other timing differences related to some of its foreign operations. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets, other than those related to some of its foreign operations as discussed above. However, there can be no assurance that such assets will be realized if circumstances change. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, valuation allowances of $2.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively, were reversed in certain foreign jurisdictions as earnings trends over the last few years now make it more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions will be realized.

The income tax provision includes federal, state, and foreign income taxes currently payable and those deferred or prepaid because of temporary differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company records income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws.

The income tax provision consisted of the following:

(in millions)

	2012			2011			2010

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation and Description of Business. Tempur-Pedic International Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is a U.S. based, multinational company. The term "Tempur-Pedic International" refers to Tempur-Pedic International Inc. only, and the term "Company" refers to Tempur-Pedic International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Tempur World, Inc. was formed on January 1, 2000 to combine the manufacturing facilities and the global distribution capabilities of all TEMPUR® products, and Tempur-Pedic International Inc. was formed in 2002 to acquire Tempur World, Inc. This acquisition ("Tempur Acquisition") was effective as of November 1, 2002.

The Company manufactures, markets and sells products including pillows, mattresses and other related products. The Company manufactures essentially all its pressure-relieving TEMPUR® products at three manufacturing facilities, with one located in Denmark and two in the U.S. The Company has sales distribution subsidiaries operating in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America and has third party distribution arrangements in certain other countries where it does not have subsidiaries. The Company sells its products through four sales channels: Retail, Direct, Healthcare and Third party.

The Company reclassified certain accrued expenses and other current liabilities to other non-current liabilities and current deferred income tax assets and non-current deferred income tax liabilities to non-current deferred tax assets and current deferred income tax liabilities to conform to the 2012 presentation of consolidated financial statements. This change does not materially impact previously reported subtotals or totals within the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for any previous period presented.

(b) Basis of Consolidation. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Tempur-Pedic International and its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. As of December 31, 2012, the Company does not hold any interest in variable-interest entities.

(c) Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's results are affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory and legal actions. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, interest and monetary exchange rates, government fiscal policies and changes in the prices of raw materials, can have a significant effect on operations. While the Company maintains reserves for anticipated liabilities and carries various levels of insurance, the Company could be affected by civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims or proceedings.

(d) Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("OCL"), a component of stockholders' equity, and included in net earnings only upon sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign subsidiary or affiliated company. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchanges rates on the transaction date and on the settlement date.

(e) Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company is required to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of accumulated OCL in stockholders' equity and subsequently recognized in net income when the hedged item affects net income. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of a financial instrument is recognized in net income immediately. The gain or loss related to financial instruments that are not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in net income.

Derivative financial instruments are used in the normal course of business to manage interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks. Credit risk is managed through the selection of sound financial institutions as counterparties. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to the foreign currency forward contracts used to offset currency-related changes in the fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. These contracts are marked-to-market through earnings.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

(g) Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined by the first-in, first-out method and consist of the following:

(in millions)
	December 31,
	2012		2011
Finished goods	$	68.5	$	65.4
Work-in-process		7.9		9.1
Raw materials and supplies		16.6		16.7
	$	93.0	$	91.2

           (h) Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost at acquisition date and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

	Estimated Useful Lives
Buildings	25-30 years
Computer equipment and software	3-5 years
Leasehold improvements	4-7 years
Machinery equipment	3-7 years
Office furniture and fixtures	5-7 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or seven years. The Company allocates depreciation and amortization to cost of sales and within each line item of operating expenses.

(i) Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If estimated future undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets, the asset is considered impaired and an expense is recorded in an amount required to reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its then fair value. Fair value generally is determined from estimated discounted future net cash flows (for assets held for use) or net realizable value (for assets held for sale).

(j) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. The Company performs an annual impairment test on all existing goodwill and other indefinite lived assets on October 1 of each year and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. The Company reviewed goodwill for impairment based on its identified reporting units, which include the Company's North American and International operating segments. In conducting the impairment test, the fair value of each of the Company's reporting units is compared to its respective carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, further analysis is performed to assess impairment. The Company's determination of fair value of the reporting units is based on an income approach, with an appropriate risk adjusted discount rate, and a market approach. Any identified impairment would result in an adjustment to the Company's results of operations. The Company also tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets, principally trademarks, for impairment using a "relief-from-royalty" method. Significant assumptions inherent in the methodologies are employed and include such estimates as royalty and discount rates. The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2012, 2011 and 2010, none of which resulted in the recognition of impairment charges. For further information on goodwill and other intangible assets see Note 4, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".

(k) Accrued Sales Returns. The Company allows product returns up to 90 days following a sale through certain sales channels and on certain products. Estimated sales returns are provided at the time of sale based on historical sales channel return rates. The level of sales returns differs by channel with the Direct channel typically experiencing the highest rate of return. Estimated future obligations related to these products are provided by a reduction of sales in the period in which the revenue is recognized. Accrued sales returns are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(m) Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the estimated future effects of tax loss carry forwards. The effect of changes in tax rates on deferred taxes is recognized in the period in which the enactment dates change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary on a jurisdictional basis to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain foreign and domestic tax positions utilizing a proscribed recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

(n) Revenue Recognition. Sales of products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, products are shipped and title passes to customers and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company extends volume discounts to certain customers and reflects these amounts as a reduction of sales. The Company also reports sales net of tax assessed by qualifying governmental authorities. The Company extends credit based on the creditworthiness of its customers. No collateral is required on sales made in the normal course of business.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and current economic conditions and also considers factors such as customer credit, past transaction history with the customer and changes in customer payment terms when determining whether the collection of a receivable is reasonably assured. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts included in accounts receivable, net in theaccompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets was $8.2 million and $6.8 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011,respectively.

The Company reflects all amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling in net sales and the costs incurred from shipping and handling product in cost of sales. Amounts included in net sales for shipping and handling were approximately $4.9 million, $6.0 million and $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amounts included in cost of sales for shipping and handling were $99.7 million, $101.2 million and $87.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(o) Cost of Sales. Costs associated with net sales are recorded in cost of sales. Costs of sales includes the costs of receiving, producing, inspecting, warehousing, insuring, and shipping goods during the period, as well as depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets used in these processes.

(p) Sales promotions and incentives. At the time of sale, the Company records an estimate for sales promotion and incentive costs. Examples of sales promotion and incentive programs include cash discounts, funds for promotional and market activities, volume-based incentive programs and other sales discounts and promotional programs. For customer incentives that must be earned, the Company makes estimates related to the contractual terms, customer performance and sales volume to determine the total amounts earned. The expense of each program is classified either as a reduction from revenues and presented within net sales, or as a component of selling and market expenses, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

(q) Advertising Costs. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred except for production costs and advance payments, which are deferred and expensed when advertisements run for the first time. Direct response advance payments are deferred and amortized over the life of the program. Advertising costs are included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Advertising costs charged to expense were $164.5 million, $148.8 million and $96.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Advertising costs include expenditures for shared advertising costs that the Company reimburses to customers under its integrated advertising program. These obligations are accrued and expensed when the related revenues are recognized. Advertising costs deferred and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets were $8.2 million and $9.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(r) Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred and included in general, administrative and other expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Research and development costs charged to expense were approximately $15.6 million, $9.9 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(s) Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based payment transactions in which the Company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the Company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the Company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") and deferred stock units ("DSUs") is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option's fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost as expense for awards other than its PRSUs ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost associated with its PRSUs over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. The Company will recognize a benefit from stock-based compensation in equity if an incremental tax benefit is realized by following the ordering provisions of the tax law. Further information regarding stock-based compensation can be found in Note 10, "Stock-Based Compensation."

(t) Treasury Stock. The Board of Directors may authorize share repurchases of the Company's common stock ("Share Repurchase Authorizations"). Share repurchases under these authorizations may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchase or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as the Company, and a committee of the Board, deem appropriate. Shares repurchased under Share Repurchase Authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee share-based award plans. Treasury shares are accounted for under the cost method and reported as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Share Repurchase Authorizations may be suspended, limited or terminated at any time without notice.

(u) Fair Value Measurements. The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.

Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information

(18) Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information (in millions)

 

               On March 18, 2013, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Sealy Corporation. As discussed in Note 5, Tempur-Pedic International issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of Tempur-Pedic International and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by all of Tempur-Pedic International's 100% directly or indirectly owned current and future domestic subsidiaries (the "Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The foreign subsidiaries (the "Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") represent the foreign operations of the Company and do not guarantee the Senior Notes. A subsidiary guarantor will be released from its obligations under the indenture governing the notes (a) the subsidiary guarantor is sold or sells all of its assets; (b) the subsidiary is declared "unrestricted" for covenant purposes; (c) the subsidiary's guarantee of other indebtedness is terminated or released; and (d) the requirements for legal defeasance or to discharge the indenture have been satisfied. The principal elimination entries relate to its investments in its subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, including transactions with the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary guarantors and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Company has accounted for investments in subsidiaries under the equity method.

The following financial information presents Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, for the Ultimate Parent, Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries and Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Reconciliation of beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits

U.S. GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the accounting and financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step requires the Company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires the Company to recognize in the financial statements each tax position that meets the more likely than not criteria, measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized.  A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

(in millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	8.9
Additions based on tax positions related to 2011		1.9
Additions for tax positions of prior years		2.6
Settlements of uncertain tax positions with tax authorities		(0.1	)
Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	13.3

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

(11) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Lease Commitments. The Company has various operating leases that call for annual rental payments due in equal monthly installments and a lease with a rent free occupancy period. The Company's policy is to recognize expense for lease payment, including those with escalating provisions and rent free periods, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease expenses were $9.5 million, $8.4 million, and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 2012 under these non-cancelable leases are as follows:

(in millions)
Year Ended December 31,
2013	$	7.9
2014		5.1
2015		3.5
2016		2.5
2017		2.3
Thereafter		3.2
	$	24.5

(b) Purchase Commitments. The Company will, from time to time, enter into limited purchase commitments for the purchase of certain raw materials. Amounts committed under these programs are not significant as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

(c) Norfolk County Retirement System, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. Tempur-Pedic International Inc., Mark A. Sarvary and Dale E. Williams; filed June 20, 2012

Arthur Benning, Jr., Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. Tempur-Pedic International Inc., Mark A. Sarvary and Dale E. Williams; filed June 25, 2012

On June 20 and 25, 2012, the above suits were filed against the Company and two named executive officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, purportedly on behalf of a proposed class of shareholders who purchased the Company's stock between January 25, 2012 and June 5, 2012.  The complaints assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, alleging, among other things, false and misleading statements and concealment of material information concerning the Company's competitive position, projected net sales, earnings per diluted share and related financial performance for the Company's fiscal year 2012.  The plaintiffs seek damages, interest, costs, attorney's fees, expert fees and unspecified equitable/injunctive relief. The Company strongly believes that the shareholder suits lack merit and intends to defend against the claims vigorously. The outcome of these matters is uncertain, however, and although we do not currently expect to incur a loss with respect to these matters, we cannot currently predict the manner and timing of the resolution of the suits, an estimate of a range of losses or any minimum loss that could result in the event of an adverse verdict in these suits, or whether our applicable insurance policies will provide sufficient coverage for these claims. Accordingly, the Company can give no assurance that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Nelson, Richard Roedel, Deborah G. Ellinger, John B. Replogle, Paul J. Norris, Sealy Corporation, Tempur-Pedic, International Inc., KKR Millennium GP LLC, KKR & Co. L.P., and Silver Lightning Merger Company, filed October 17, 2012

The Company is aware of six purported class action lawsuits relating to the Merger with Sealy, one in North Carolina state court and five in the Delaware Court of Chancery, filed by purported stockholders of Sealy against Sealy, Sealy's directors, the Company and Silver Lightning Merger Company, a subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger Sub"). Justewicz v. Sealy Corp., et al. (''North Carolina Action'') was filed on October 3, 2012, in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division in North Carolina (''North Carolina Court''). On November 13, 2012, the Delaware Court of Chancery consolidated all five Delaware actions into a single action, which is now styled as In re Sealy Corporation Shareholder Litigation (''Delaware Action''). Plaintiff in the North Carolina Action and plaintiffs in the Delaware Action allege, among other things, that the defendants have breached their fiduciary duties to Sealy's stockholders and that Sealy, the Company and Merger Sub aided and abetted the Sealy directors' alleged breach of fiduciary duties. The complaints also claim that the consideration to be paid in the Merger to Sealy stockholders (the "Merger Consideration") is inadequate, that the Merger Agreement contains unfair deal protection provisions, that Sealy's directors are subject to conflicts of interests, and that the preliminary information statement filed by Sealy with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2012 omits material information concerning the negotiation process leading to the proposed transaction and the valuation of Sealy.

On October 12, 2012, plaintiff in the North Carolina Action brought a Motion for Expedited Discovery and for a Hearing and Briefing Schedule on Plaintiff's Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. On October 24, 2012, defendants in the North Carolina Action brought a Motion to Stay the North Carolina Action in favor of the Delaware Action. On November 7, 2012, the North Carolina Action plaintiff amended his complaint to add allegations claiming that the preliminary information statement filed by Sealy on October 30, 2012 did not provide sufficient information.  Following briefing and a hearing on November 8, 2012, the North Carolina Court stayed the North Carolina Action. On November 19, 2012, plaintiffs in the Delaware Action filed a consolidated amended complaint, a motion for expedited proceedings, and a motion for a preliminary injunction.

The Company believes that the allegations in these lawsuits are entirely without merit.  On January 22, 2013, solely to avoid the burden, expense and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the parties to the Delaware Action entered into a memorandum of understanding setting forth an agreement-in-principle providing for a settlement of the Delaware Action (the "Proposed Settlement"). In connection with the Proposed Settlement, Sealy agreed to include certain supplemental disclosures in the information statement to be sent to Sealy stockholders. The Proposed Settlement provides for the release of all claims by Sealy stockholders concerning the Merger Agreement, the Merger, and the disclosures made in connection with the Merger, including all claims that were asserted or could have been asserted in the Delaware Action and the North Carolina Action. The Proposed Settlement does not provide for the payment of any additional monetary consideration to Sealy stockholders and the Proposed Settlement does not affect the rights of any Sealy stockholder to seek appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. The Proposed Settlement is subject to definitive documentation and approval by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

The outcome of the above litigation is uncertain, however, and although the Company does not currently expect to incur a loss with respect to these matters, the Company cannot currently predict the manner and timing of the resolution of the Merger Lawsuits, an estimate of a range or losses or any minimum loss that could result in the event of an adverse verdict in these suits, or whether the Company's or Sealy's applicable insurance policies will provide sufficient coverage for these claims. Accordingly, the Company can give no assurance that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to the operations of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity, or operating results.
