This investor presentation contains "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which include information concerning one or more of the Company's plans,
objectives, goals, strategies, and other information that are not historical information. When used in this presentation, the words "estimates," "expects," "guidance," "anticipates," "projects,"
"plans," "proposed," "intends," "believes," and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, statements relating to the Company’s expectations regarding adjusted EBITDA for 2017 and performance generally for 2017 and subsequent periods, expectations regarding
the Company’s strategy to recapture market share in the U.S. including expected levels of advertising spending, and expectations regarding the Company’s target leverage ratio, share repurchase
program and the capital allocation strategy and expectations regarding the ability to reduce costs in a reduced sales or recession scenario. All forward-looking statements are based upon current
expectations and beliefs and various assumptions. There can be no assurance that the Company will realize these expectations or that these beliefs will prove correct.
Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed as forward-looking statements. These risk factors
include risks associated with the termination of the Company's relationship with Mattress Firm; risks associated with the Company's capital structure and debt level; general economic, financial
and industry conditions, particularly in the retail sector, as well as consumer confidence and the availability of consumer financing; changes in product and channel mix and the impact on the
Company's gross margin; changes in interest rates; the impact of the macroeconomic environment in both the U.S. and internationally on the Company's business segments; uncertainties arising
from global events; the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company's reported earnings; consumer acceptance of the Company's products; industry competition; the efficiency
and effectiveness of the Company's advertising campaigns and other marketing programs; the Company's ability to increase sales productivity within existing retail accounts and to further
penetrate the Company's retail channel, including the timing of opening or expanding within large retail accounts and the timing and success of product launches; the effects of consolidation of
retailers on revenues and costs; changes in demand for the Company's products by significant retailer customers; the Company's ability to expand brand awareness, distribution and new
products; the Company's ability to continuously improve and expand its product line, maintain efficient, timely and cost-effective production and delivery of its products, and manage its growth;
the effects of strategic investments on the Company's operations; changes in foreign tax rates and changes in tax laws generally, including the ability to utilize tax loss carry forwards; the
outcome of various pending tax audits or other tax, regulatory or investigation proceedings; changing commodity costs; the effect of future legislative or regulatory changes; and disruptions to
the implementation of the Company's strategic priorities and business plan caused by abrupt changes in the Company's senior management team and Board of Directors.
There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those
expressed as forward-looking statements in this investor presentation, including the risk factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" under ITEM 1A of Part 1 of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There may be other factors that may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made.

8. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are a non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Constant Currency Information"
beginning on slide 21 for more information regarding the definitions of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, including the adjustments from the corresponding GAAP
information. Amount shown for 2017 represents management estimates of adjusted EBITDA performance based on the Company’s guidance provided on February
16, 2017. Please refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Limitations on Guidance”. The Company further noted that it is unable to reconcile this forward-
looking non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP net income, its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable efforts,
because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact
GAAP net income in 2017 but would not impact adjusted EBITDA. These items that impact comparability may include restructuring activities, the impact of the recent
termination of contracts with Mattress Firm, foreign currency exchange rates, income taxes, and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant
impact on the Company's full year 2017 GAAP financial results.
9. Adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, leverage, and leverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and
Constant Currency” beginning on slide 21 for more information regarding the definition of these non-GAAP financial measures, including the adjustments from the
corresponding GAAP information.
10. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as
management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, financing and regulatory
requirements and other market conditions. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified or
discontinued at any time without prior notice. Repurchases may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the
Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under federal securities laws.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Constant Currency Information
In this investor presentation and certain of its press releases and SEC filings, the Company provides information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and
consolidated funded debt and leverage ratio which are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income and earnings per share as a measure of
operating performance or an alternative to total debt. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with performance measures that better reflect the Company's
underlying operations and trends, including trends in changes in margin and operating expenses, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income and operating income.
The adjustments management makes to derive the non-GAAP measures include adjustments to exclude items that may cause short-term fluctuations in the nearest GAAP measure, but
which management does not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of its business, including restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions and store
closures, stock compensation benefits representing changes in estimate to reduce accumulated performance based stock compensation amortization, costs associated with the completion of
a new senior secured credit facility and senior notes offering in the second quarter of 2016, costs associated with its 2013 acquisition of Sealy Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Sealy
Acquisition") and the exclusion of other costs associated with the 2015 Annual Meeting (including executive management transition and retention compensation), legal settlements, and
other costs.
The Company believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying results from continuing operations and trends, and
management uses these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company's business, to evaluate its consolidated and business segment
performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, to establish operational goals and management incentive goals, and to provide continuity to investors for comparability
purposes. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in
accordance with GAAP and these non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as more significant than comparable measures defined by
GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For more information
regarding the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the Company’s SEC filings.
Constant Currency Information
In this presentation the Company refers to, and in other communications with investors the Company may refer to, net sales or earnings or other historical financial information on a
"constant currency basis," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. These references to constant currency basis do not include operational impacts that could result from fluctuations in
foreign currency rates. To provide information on a constant currency basis, the applicable financial results are adjusted based on a simple mathematical model that translates current period
results in local currency using the comparable prior corresponding period's currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries where the functional currency is the local country
currency. This information is provided so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period
comparisons of business performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are provided on slide 22. Management believes that the use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA also provides
investors with useful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance and comparisons from period to period, as well as general information about the Company's
progress in reducing its leverage.
Leverage
Consolidated funded debt less qualified cash to adjusted EBITDA, which the Company may refer to as leverage, is provided on slides 23 and is calculated by dividing consolidated funded debt
less qualified cash, as defined by the Company’s senior secured credit facilities, by adjusted EBITDA. Although not relevant for purposes of assessing compliance with the Company's current
financial covenants, the Company provides this as supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and comparisons from period to period, as well as
general information about the Company's progress in reducing its leverage.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS
A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP net income to adjusted net income and a calculation of adjusted EPS are provided on slides 24. Management believes that the use of adjusted net
income and adjusted EPS also provides investors with useful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance and comparisons from period to period.
