Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 of Select Comfort Corporation and 100%-owned subsidiaries (“Select Comfort” or the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 28, 2014, and December 28, 2013, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly consolidated results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales, expenses and income taxes during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Our critical accounting policies consist of stock-based compensation, asset impairment charges, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select Comfort Corporation and our 100%-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, we will adopt this new guidance beginning in fiscal 2017. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new guidance and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. Management does not expect this new guidance to materially impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

	8,978		25,654		—		34,632
	$	23,989	$	62,802	$	—	$	86,791

We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the periods presented.

At June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, we had $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of debt and equity securities that funded our deferred compensation plan and are classified in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $1.1 million and $1.1 million at June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, which are included in other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The majority of the debt and equity securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains/(losses) on the debt and equity securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities.

6. Credit Agreement

Our $20.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as amended, is an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on August 31, 2016. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the amount of the line from $20.0 million to up to $50.0 million in total availability, subject to lender approval.

Any borrowings under the Credit Agreement will, at our request, be classified as either LIBOR Loans or Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) Loans (both as defined in the Credit Agreement). The rate of interest payable by us in respect of loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility is: (i) with respect to LIBOR Loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the interest period then in effect, plus 1.25%; or (ii) with respect to ABR Loans, the ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then in effect for the Daily One-Month LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.50%, or the prime rate. We are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, including minimum tangible net worth, a requirement to maintain a minimum amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, and to maintain at the administrative agent cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities equal to the amount the lenders are committed to lend under the Credit Agreement.

At both June 28, 2014, and December 28, 2013, $20.0 million was available under the Credit Agreement, we had no borrowings and we were in compliance with all financial covenants. We had no outstanding letters of credit as of June 28, 2014 or December 28, 2013.

Total amount repurchased	$	11,234	$	11,887	$	21,470	$	22,031

As of June 28, 2014, the remaining authorization under our Board of Directors ("Board") approved share repurchase program was $116.7 million. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares. Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status.

The cost of stock repurchases is first charged to additional paid-in-capital. Once additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, any additional amounts are charged to retained earnings.

Warranty Liabilities

We provide a 25-year limited warranty on our beds. The customer participates over the last 23 years of the warranty period by paying a portion of the retail value of replacement parts. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of sales, are based on historical trends and warranty claims rates incurred by us and are adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. We regularly assess and adjust the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs.

The activity in the accrued warranty liabilities account was as follows (in thousands): 

	Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
Balance at beginning of year	$	4,153		$	4,858
Additions charged to costs and expenses for current-year sales	3,237			2,113

Balance at end of period	$	4,433		$	4,944

⁽¹⁾ Acquired warranty reserve resulted from the acquisition of Comfortaire Corporation in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

On August 23, 2013, we filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in the District of Minnesota against Gentherm, Inc. seeking a declaratory judgment that Select Comfort be named as an assignee of certain patents asserted against Select Comfort by Gentherm or in the alternative that the asserted patents are not enforceable or are invalid or that Select Comfort and its products do not infringe any valid claim of the asserted patents. This complaint was filed after Gentherm asserted in a letter that Select Comfort’s recently introduced DualTemp™ layer product infringed certain patents owned by Gentherm. Subsequently, Gentherm filed counterclaims alleging infringement of its patents and seeking various legal and equitable remedies, including injunctive relief, treble damages and attorney’s fees. We believe the claims asserted by Gentherm are without merit, and we intend to vigorously pursue our claims and defend the claims asserted by Gentherm.

Results of Operations

Quarterly and Annual Results

Quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including increases or decreases in sales, the timing, amount and effectiveness of advertising expenditures, changes in sales return rates or warranty experience, timing of store openings/closings and related expenses, changes in net sales resulting from changes in our store base, the timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity costs, any disruptions in supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales, timing and volume of QVC shows, consumer confidence and general economic conditions. Therefore, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.

Highlights

Financial highlights for the three months endedJune 28, 2014 were as follows:

• Net sales increased13% to $234.8 million, compared with $207.4 million for the same period one year ago. Strong sales of our innovative new products contributed to the 13% net sales increase. The 13% net sales increase was driven by sales from 38 net new stores opened in the past 12 months and a 7% comparable sales increase in our Company-Controlled channel.

• Retail sales-per-store (for stores open at least one year), on a trailing twelve-month basis, of $2.1 million increased 2% compared with the prior-year trailing twelve-month period.

• Operating income decreased to $12.7 million, or 5.4% of net sales, compared with $15.1 million, or 7.3% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The decline in operating income was primarily due to a 2.7 percentage point (ppt.) decrease in our gross profit rate, partially offset by the additional operating income generated by the 13% increase in net sales. See page 19 for additional details on our gross profit rate.

• Net income decreased15% to $8.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with net income of $9.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the same period one year ago.

16

• Cash provided by operating activities totaled $49.6 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2014, compared with $36.1 million for the same period one year ago.

• At June 28, 2014, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $120.8 million and we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In the second quarter of 2014, we repurchased 531,943 shares of our common stock under our Board-approved share repurchase program at a cost of $10.0 million (an average of $18.82 per share). As of June 28, 2014, the remaining authorization under our Board-approved share repurchase program was $116.7 million.

The following table sets forth our results of operations expressed as dollars and percentages of net sales. Figures are in millions, except percentages and per share amounts. Amounts may not add due to rounding differences.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 28, 2014 with Three Months Ended June 29, 2013

Net sales

Net sales increased13% to $234.8 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014, compared with $207.4 million for the same period one year ago. Strong sales of our innovative new products contributed to the 13% net sales increase. The net sales increase was primarily driven by sales from 38 net stores opened in the past 12 months and a 7% comparable sales increase in our Company-Controlled channel.

The $27.4 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $14.7 million sales increase resulting from net store openings; (ii) a $13.0 million increase in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable retail stores; and (iii) a $0.5 million increase in Wholesale/Other channel sales, partially offset by (iv) a $0.8 million decrease in Direct and E-Commerce sales. Company-Controlled mattress units decreased 3% compared to the prior-year period. Average revenue per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by 17%. The 17% increase reflects our highly effective selling process and the strong sales of our innovative new products, including our new FlexFit adjustable bases.

18

Gross profit

Gross profit of $142.4 millionincreased by $11.0 million, or 8%, compared with the same period one year ago. The gross profit rate decreased to 60.7% of net sales for the three months ended June 28, 2014, compared with 63.4% for the prior-year period. The 2.7 ppt. decrease in the gross profit rate was primarily due to: (i) a higher sales mix of lower-margin rate products, including FlexFit adjustable bases; (ii) increased sales return and exchange costs resulting from the second quarter 2013 change in our 30-night trial policy to 100 nights; and (iii) certain supply chain inefficiencies related to the strong demand for our new products. In addition, our gross profit rate can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of other factors, including manufacturing and logistics efficiencies, warranty expenses and performance-based incentive compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses

The sales and marketing expense rate for the three months ended June 28, 2014 decreased to 45.5% of net sales, compared with 47.4% of net sales for the same period one year ago. The 1.9 ppt. decrease in the sales and marketing expense rate in the current period was mainly due to leveraging our media spending which was consistent with last year, while net sales increased 13%.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased$5.9 million to $21.3 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014, compared with $15.4 million in the same period one year ago, and increased to 9.1% of net sales, compared with 7.4% of net sales last year. The $5.9 million increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to: (i) a $2.1 million increase in performance-based incentive compensation; (ii) a $1.3 million increase in employee compensation to support business growth initiatives; (iii) $0.8 million of additional depreciation expense resulting from the increase in capital expenditures to support the growth of the business, including our new digital website which was launched in the second quarter of 2014; and (iv) a $1.7 million increase in miscellaneous other expenses. The G&A expense rate increased by 1.7 ppt. in the current period compared with the same period one year ago due to the increase in expenses, partially offset by the 13% increase in net sales.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 28, 2014 were $1.7 million, or 0.7% of net sales, compared with $2.6 million, or 1.2% of net sales, for the same period one year ago.

Other income, net

Other income, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014, consistent with the comparable period one year ago.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $4.3 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014 compared with $5.3 million for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2014 was 33.7%, compared with the prior-year period rate of 34.6%.

Comparison of Six Months EndedJune 28, 2014 with Six Months EndedJune 29, 2013

Net sales

Net sales increased 10% to $511.2 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2014, compared with $465.6 million for the same period one year ago. The net sales increase was primarily driven by sales from 38 net new stores opened in the past 12 months and a 4% comparable sales increase in our Company-Controlled channel.

The $45.5 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $31.1 million sales increase resulting from net new store openings; and (ii) a $17.3 million increase in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable retail stores; partially offset by (iii) a $2.3 million decrease in Wholesale/Other channel sales; and (iv) a $0.6 million decrease in Direct and E-Commerce sales. Company-Controlled mattress units decreased 1% compared to the prior-year period. Average revenue per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by 12%. The 12% increase reflects our highly effective selling process and the strong sales of our innovative new products, including our new FlexFit adjustable bases.

19

Gross profit

Gross profit of $313.8 millionincreased by $19.0 million, or 6%, compared with the same period one year ago.The gross profit rate decreased to 61.4% of net sales for the six months endedJune 28, 2014, compared with 63.3% for the prior-year period. The 1.9 ppt. decrease in the gross profit rate was primarily due to: (i) a higher sales mix of lower-margin rate products, including FlexFit adjustable bases; (ii) increased sales return and exchange costs resulting from the second quarter 2013 change in our 30-night trial policy to 100 nights; and (iii) certain supply chain inefficiencies related to the strong demand for our new products. In addition, our gross profit rate can fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of other factors, including manufacturing and logistics efficiencies, warranty expenses and performance-based incentive compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses

The sales and marketing expense rate for the six months endedJune 28, 2014increased to 45.3% of net sales, compared with 44.7% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The 0.6 ppt. increase in the sales and marketing expense rate in the current period was primarily due to an increase in fixed selling expenses related to new, repositioned and remodeled stores, partially offset by leveraging our media spending which increased 2% compared with the prior year period, while net sales increased 10%.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased$9.0 million to $40.2 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2014, compared with $31.2 million in the prior year, and increased to 7.9% of net sales, compared with 6.7% of net sales one year ago. The $9.0 million increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to: (i) a $4.6 million increase in performance-based incentive compensation; (ii) a $1.5 million increase in employee compensation resulting from headcount increases to support business growth initiatives; (iii) $1.1 million of additional depreciation expense resulting from the increase in capital expenditures to support the growth of the business, including our new digital website which was launched in the second quarter of 2014; and (iv) a $1.8 million net increase in miscellaneous other expenses. The G&A expense rate increased by 1.2 ppt. in the current period compared with the same period one year ago due to the increase in expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the six months endedJune 28, 2014 were $3.4 million, or 0.7% of net sales, compared with $5.1 million, or 1.1% of net sales, for the same period one year ago.

The effective tax rate for the six months endedJune 28, 2014 increased to 34.2% compared with 33.9% for the prior-year period. The 2013 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the retroactive reinstatement of the 2012 R&D tax credit in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, the R&D tax credit expired at the end of 2013 and has not yet been extended by Congress. As a result, our 2014 effective tax rate does not include any benefit from the R&D tax credit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 28, 2014, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $120.8 million compared with $145.0 million as of December 28, 2013. The $24.3 milliondecrease was primarily due to $49.6 million of cash provided by operating activities which was more than offset by $39.8 million of cash used to purchase property and equipment, $21.5 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock ($20.0 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $1.4 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants), and a $6.2 million decrease in short-term borrowings. The $83.7 million of marketable debt securities held as of June 28, 2014 are all highly liquid and include U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt securities and municipal bonds.

The following table summarizes our cash flows (dollars in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:

	Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	49.6		$	36.1
Investing activities	(45.1		)	(48.5		)
Financing activities	(25.6		)	(17.3		)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(21.1	)	$	(29.7	)

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months endedJune 28, 2014 was $49.6 million compared with $36.1 million for the six months endedJune 29, 2013. The $13.4 million year-over-year increase in cash from operating activities was comprised of a $20.1 millionincrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities and a $1.3 millionincrease in adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by a $7.9 milliondecrease in net income for the six months endedJune 28, 2014 compared with the same period one year ago.

Net cash used in investing activities was $45.1 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2014, compared with $48.5 million for the same period one year ago. Investing activities for the current-year period included $39.8 million of property and equipment purchases, compared with $37.1 million for the same period one year ago. On a net basis, we increased our investments in marketable debt securities by $4.9 million during the six months endedJune 28, 2014 compared with a net reduction of $7.0 million during the comparable period one year ago.

Net cash used in financing activities was $25.6 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2014, compared with $17.3 million for the same period one year ago. During the six months endedJune 28, 2014, we repurchased $21.5 million of our stock ($20.0 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $1.4 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants) compared with $22.0 million ($20.0 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $2.0 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants) during the same period one year ago. Changes in book overdrafts are included in the net change in short-term borrowings. Financing activities for both periods reflect the vesting of employee restricted stock awards and exercise of employee stock options along with the associated excess tax benefits.

Under the Board-approved $290 million share repurchase program, we repurchased 1,098,486 shares at a cost of $20.0 million (an average of $18.23 per share) during the six months endedJune 28, 2014. During the six months endedJune 29, 2013, we repurchased 930,369 shares at a cost of $20.0 million (an average of $21.52 per share). As of June 28, 2014, the remaining authorization under our Board-approved share repurchase program was $116.7 million. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares.

Our $20.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as amended, is an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures August 31, 2016. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the amount of the line from $20.0 million to up to $50.0 million in total availability, subject to lender approval. As of June 28, 2014 we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Our business model, which can operate with minimal working capital, does not require additional capital from external sources to fund operations or organic growth. The $120.8 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, cash generated from ongoing operations, and cash available under our revolving credit facility are expected to be adequate to maintain operations and fund anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future.

We have an agreement with Synchrony Bank (formerly GE Capital Retail Bank) to offer qualified customers revolving credit arrangements to finance purchases from us (“Synchrony Agreement”). The Synchrony Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement and a minimum working capital requirement. As of June 28, 2014 we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Under the terms of the Synchrony Agreement, Synchrony Bank sets the minimum acceptable credit ratings, the interest rates, fees and all other terms and conditions of the customer accounts, including collection policies and procedures, and is the owner of the accounts.

Non-GAAP Data Reconciliations

Reported to Adjusted Statements of Operations Data (in thousands, except per share amounts)

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we also disclose non-GAAP results that exclude certain significant charges or credits. Our "as adjusted" data is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and is not in accordance with, or preferable to, "as reported," or GAAP financial data. However, we believe that the disclosure of results excluding certain significant charges or credits provides additional insights into underlying business performance and facilitates year-over-year comparisons. Below are our reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

	Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013

⁽¹⁾ In February 2012, we announced that William R. McLaughlin, then President and Chief Executive Officer would retire from the Company effective June 1, 2012. In recognition of Mr. McLaughlin’s contributions, the Compensation Committee approved the modification of Mr. McLaughlin’s currently unvested stock awards, including performance-based stock awards. The performance-based stock awards are subject to applicable performance adjustments through 2014 based on actual performance versus performance targets. In the first six months of 2013, we recorded a non-cash compensation benefit of $0.4 million ($0.3 million, net of income tax) resulting from performance-based stock award adjustments.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash from operating activities. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Our Adjusted EBITDA calculations are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Trailing-Twelve Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013

Free Cash Flow

Our “free cash flow” data is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and is not in accordance with, or preferable to, “net cash provided by operating activities,” or GAAP financial data. However, we are providing this information as we believe it facilitates analysis for investors and financial analysts.

The following table summarizes our free cash flow calculations (dollars in thousands): 

	Six Months Ended					Trailing-Twelve Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013			June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of June 28, 2014, we were not involved in any unconsolidated special purpose entity transactions. Other than our operating leases, we do not have any off-balance-sheet financing. There were no outstanding letters of credit at June 28, 2014.

There has been no material change in our contractual obligations since the end of fiscal 2013. See Note 6, Credit Agreement, of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our credit agreement. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 for additional information regarding our other contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since the end of fiscal 2013.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Changes in the overall level of interest rates affect interest income generated from our short-term and long-term investments in marketable debt securities. If overall interest rates were one percentage point lower than current rates, our annual interest income would not change by a significant amount based on our investments in marketable debt securities as of June 28, 2014 and the current low interest-rate environment. We do not manage our investment interest-rate volatility risk through the use of derivative instruments.

As of June 28, 2014, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

On August 23, 2013, we filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in the District of Minnesota against Gentherm, Inc. seeking a declaratory judgment that Select Comfort be named as an assignee of certain patents asserted against Select Comfort by Gentherm or in the alternative that the asserted patents are not enforceable or are invalid or that Select Comfort and its products do not infringe any valid claim of the asserted patents. This complaint was filed after Gentherm asserted in a letter that Select Comfort’s recently introduced DualTemp™ layer product infringed certain patents owned by Gentherm. Subsequently, Gentherm filed counterclaims alleging infringement of its patents and seeking various legal and equitable remedies, including injunctive relief, treble damages and attorney’s fees. We believe the claims asserted by Gentherm are without merit, and we intend to vigorously pursue our claims and defend the claims asserted by Gentherm.

24

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business, financial condition and operating results are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including both those that are specific to our business and others that affect all businesses operating in a global environment. Investors should carefully consider the information in this report under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and also the information under the heading, “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional risk factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

As of June 28, 2014, the remaining authorization under our Board-approved share repurchase program was $116.7 million.

(a) As part of Retailer’s obligations to Bank in connection with the Program, Retailer agrees to transmit to Bank, promptly, but in any event, no longer than five (5) days after the transaction date, complete information about all charges and credits to Accounts (“Charge Transaction Data”) occurring since the immediately previous transmission, as provided in the Operating Procedures. Upon receipt of the Charge Transaction Data, and provided no circumstance exists that would entitle Bank to give notice of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 19 (b), Bank will deposit to a bank account designated by Retailer the total amount of all charges reflected in such Charge Transaction Data, less the total of (i) any credits reflected in such Charge Transaction Data, (ii) any amounts being charged back to Retailer, and (iii) any Retailer Fees, which Bank may choose to deduct on a daily or monthly basis, in its discretion (and corrections to any such fees based on erroneous information submitted by Retailer), unless Bank elects to separately bill Retailer for such fees. Retailer will transmit Charge Transaction Data to Bank as provided above and otherwise in accordance with the Operating Procedures. If Charge Transaction Data is received by Bank’s processing center before 5:00 p.m. (central time) on any business day, Bank will process the Charge Transaction Data and initiate payment on the same business day. If the Charge Transaction Data is received after 5:00 p.m. (central

3

EX10.1

time) on any business day, or at any time on a day other than a business day, Bank will process the Charge Transaction Data and initiate payment on the first business day thereafter.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Bank will have the right to net, setoff or recoup any amounts due to it under this Agreement against any amounts owing to Retailer under this Agreement; provided, however, that Bank will XXXX. If at any time, the amount Bank owes Retailer is less than the amount Retailer owes Bank (without regard to any Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof), Retailer agrees to pay Bank the net difference. Retailer hereby authorizes Bank to initiate ACH credits and debits to Retailer’s designated bank account for purposes of settling transactions hereunder. Nothing in this Section 4(b) or any other provision of this Agreement is intended to limit either party’s common law rights of setoff and recoupment. Each party further acknowledges that, for purposes of determining their rights of recoupment hereunder, Retailer’s payment obligations to Bank hereunder, including Bank’s right to receive chargebacks and credits under this Agreement, and Bank’s obligation to settle with Retailer for Charge Transaction Data pursuant to the preceding Section 4(a) shall be deemed to be a “single integrated transaction”. [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”. A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(c) If Bank determines that Retailer has breached a Financial Covenant on Appendix B and has not provided a Letter of Credit, then Bank may withhold from the settlement payments otherwise due Retailer an amount Bank deems necessary to fund a non-interest bearing reserve account (the “Reserve Account”). Bank shall be the sole owner of the Reserve Account (if any), and may (but need not) debit the Reserve Account from time to time to satisfy any amounts owed by Retailer to Bank. However, Bank will return to Retailer any amounts remaining in the Reserve Account no later than XXXX after termination of Retailer’s participation in the Program (the “Final Liquidation Date”). [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”. A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(d) Retailer will not process any charge for more than the sale price of the goods or services (including taxes) or impose any surcharge on transactions made under the Program, and will not require the Accountholder to pay any part of any charge assessed by Bank to Retailer, whether through any increase in price or otherwise, or to pay any contemporaneous finance charge in connection with the transaction charged to an Account. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Retailer may offer discounts from the selling price for payments made with cash. Additionally, Retailer will not accept any payments from an Accountholder for charges billed on an Account, and will instead refer the Accountholder to Bank’s payment address. If for any reason, Retailer inadvertently receives an Accountholder payment, Retailer will hold such payment in trust for Bank and will promptly forward such payment to Bank for processing. Additionally, Retailer hereby grants Bank a limited power of attorney to cash and retain for its own account any Accountholder payments on Accounts which are erroneously made out to Retailer.

5.Bank to Extend Credit.

(a) Accountholder Terms. Bank, in its reasonable discretion, after consultation and notice to Retailer (which notice may be made by email), may establish and modify, from time to time, (i) the ordinary finance charge rates applicable to credit extended to Accountholders, and (ii) all other terms upon which credit will be extended to Accountholders, including without limitation, repayment terms, default finance charges, late fees, overlimit charges, returned check charges, and other ordinary fees and charges.

(b) Credit Review Point. Bank shall provide an internal credit allocation for the Program in the amount of the Credit Review Point. Bank shall not be obligated to make any extension of credit under the

4

EX10.1

Program if, after such extension, the aggregate indebtedness for all Accounts would exceed the Credit Review Point then in effect. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the aggregate indebtedness with respect to all Accounts equals or exceeds XXXX of the Credit Review Point then in effect (“CRP Threshold Date”), Bank will (i) promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the CRP Threshold Date, notify Retailer, (ii) review the Program and the Credit Review Point, and (iii) either increase the then existing Credit Review Point to accommodate existing indebtedness with respect to Accounts and anticipated growth or leave such Credit Review Point at its existing level. Bank will select one of the foregoing options in clause (iii) within 90 days after such CRP Threshold Date, and will give Retailer written notice of such election, including, in the case of an election to increase the Credit Review Point, the amount of such increase. If at any time Bank notifies Retailer of its election not to increase the then applicable Credit Review Point pursuant to this Section, Retailer shall have the termination rights set forth in Section 19(b)(iii). Following the Bank’s election not to increase the Credit Review Point under this section, Bank shall provide Retailer with reports at the end of each month setting forth the amount of the Aggregate Outstanding Indebtedness as of the end of such month. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Credit Review Point” means XXXX or such other higher amount as Bank, in its discretion, may from time to time specify to Retailer in writing. [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”. A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(c) Credit Criteria. Bank shall establish in its discretion and Bank, in its reasonable discretion, after consultation and notice to Retailer (which notice may be made by email), may modify from time to time any or all of the credit criteria used in evaluating applicants under the Program (including, without limitation, the creditworthiness of individual applicants, the range of credit limits to be made available to individual Accountholders and whether to suspend or terminate the credit privileges of any Accountholder). Bank may, in its sole and lawful discretion, approve or decline any application submitted. Bank shall not administer or otherwise apply its credit criteria to Account applicants and Accountholders in an unlawful or illegal manner. Specifically and without limiting the foregoing, Bank will consult with Retailer regarding and at least XXXX prior to XXXX. [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”.

6.Credit-Based Promotions; Retailer Fees; Volume Discounts.

(a) Bank initially will make available under the Program those credit-based promotions and corresponding Retailer Fee Percentagesdescribed on the attached Schedule 6(a). Subject to the qualifications set forth below in this 6(a), Retailer shall have the right to reduce any Retailer Fee Percentage on Schedule 6(a) (as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 6(c) or Section 6(e)) so as to reduce such Retailer Fee Percentage by XXXX below the Retailer Fee Percentage actually set forth on such Schedule (each such reduced rate is referred to as a “Special Discount Rate”); provided, that (i) such reduction shall be subject to the Special Discount Cap (as defined below), and (ii) for clarity, the application of such XXXX reduction shall in no way result in any Retailer Fee Percentage being less than 0.00%. For purposes of calculating each Special Discount Rate, such Special Discount Rate shall be carried out to two decimal places and rounded to the nearest basis point. If, as of the end of any calendar year, Net Program Sales with respect to which one or more Special Discount Rates applied at any time during such calendar year (“Special Discount Sales”) exceed XXXX of total Net Program Sales for such period (the “Special Discount Cap”), Retailer will pay to Bank, within thirty (30) calendar days, the difference between the non-discounted Program Fees Percentages and the Special Discount Rates for the Special Discount Sales that exceed XXXX of Net Program Sales for the calendar year. In addition, at the end of any calendar quarter, if Special Discount Sales exceed XXXX of the Net Program Sales for the calendar year to date period, Bank and Retailer will discuss a reasonable plan to ensure the Special Discount Sales will decrease in the remaining calendar quarters of the respective calendar year in accordance with the XXXX limit on Net Program Sales. In no event may Special Discount Sales exceed XXXX in any calendar month. [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities

5

EX10.1

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”. A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(b) In connection with all credit-based promotions and non-promotional credit offers, Retailer agrees to pay to Bank the Retailer Fees applicable to each submission to Bank of Charge Transaction Data.

(c) At the end of the XXXX and each XXXX thereafter, Bank and Retailer will review and evaluate the effectiveness of the Program generally (including the credit-based promotion sales mix, the overall level of sales charged to Accounts, and Account fraud and credit losses during such period), as well as the performance of each credit-based promotion during such period. Based on such review, Bank may, after consultation with and notice to Retailer, adjust the Retailer Fee Percentages and, for any credit-based promotion, terminate such promotion or adjust the Retailer Fee Percentage applicable thereto. In addition, Retailer acknowledges that Bank may modify, terminate, or replace one or more credit-based promotions due to changes in applicable law (including Regulation Z) or regulatory guidance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may review and adjust the Retailer Fee Percentages applicable to internet and telephone sales at the end of the XXXX and each XXXX thereafter after complying with consultation and notice requirements of this section. As used herein, “XXXX” means the XXXX commencing on the Effective Date and each such XXXX thereafter during the term hereof and any shorter prior from the beginning of XXXX until the termination of this Agreement. [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”. A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(d) If Bank and Retailer agree to offer any additional credit-based promotions not included on Schedule 6(a), Bank will establish in writing, with acknowledgment by Retailer, the Retailer Fee Percentage applicable to the calculation of the Retailer Fee payable by Retailer for qualifying purchases, as well as such other terms and conditions as the parties shall agree. Bank’s approval of any billing and credit terms for any promotion is not intended to be and will not be construed to be an approval of any materials used in advertising or soliciting participation in such promotion.

(e) Without limiting Bank’s right to adjust Retailer Fee Percentages as set forth in Section 6(c), as of the end of the first XXXX following the Effective Date, and as of the end of each XXXX thereafter, Bank may adjust the Retailer Fee Percentage for each credit-based promotion then offered to Accountholders by Bank based on movements in the Twelve Month LIBOR. As of the end of each XXXX, the Retailer Fee Percentages set forth on Schedule 6(a) may be adjusted as follows: (x) any prior adjustment to such Retailer Fee Percentages pursuant to this Section 6(e) shall be eliminated, and (y) with respect to each such Retailer Fee Percentage, Bank shall adjust (either up or down) such Retailer Fee Percentage by: [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(f) For purposes of effecting the above calculation, Bank shall establish the Twelve Month LIBOR for any XXXX (the “COFXXXX”) as of the last business day of the calendar XXXX immediately preceding the COF XXXX and shall apply the revised Retailer Fee Percentages resulting from such calculation as of the first day of the second month in the COF XXXX. If the cost of funds adjustment calculation set forth in Section 6(f) results in a Retailer Fee Percentage that is less than zero, such Retailer Fee Percentage shall, irrespective of such calculation, be deemed to equal zero and Bank shall have no obligation to rebate any amounts to Retailer in connection with the applicable credit-based promotion related to such Retailer Fee Percentage. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the adjustment (either up or down) to any Retailer Fee Percentage pursuant to this Section will be in addition to any other prior adjustments (either up or down) made to any Retailer Fee Percentage pursuant to any provision of this Section 6, and (ii) no adjustment pursuant to this Section shall eliminate any prior adjustments (either up or down) made to any Retailer Fee Percentage pursuant to any provision of this Section 6. [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”.

(g) Each adjustment to the Retailer Fee Percentages pursuant to Section 6 (e) shall be applied prospectively only.

(h) XXXX [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”.

(i) For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings: “Base Twelve Month LIBOR” means XXXX; “Net Program Sales” means, for any given period, the aggregate amount of sales to Accountholders under the Program and any new program as Bank may establish and which Retailer elects to participate in and resulting in charges to Account during such period less aggregate credits to Accounts during such period, in each case reflected in Charge Transaction Data. “Retailer Fee” means (A) in the case of the fee applicable to each purchase pursuant to a credit-based promotion, the product of (i) the applicable promotional Retailer Fee Percentage , multiplied by (ii) the amount of the charge subject to the promotion less the amount of all credits pertaining to such promotional charges; and (B) in the case of the fee applicable to each purchase not subject to a credit-based promotion, the product of (i) the applicable non-promotional Retailer Fee Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the amount of all such charges, less the amount of all credits pertaining to non-promotional charges. “Retailer Fee Percentage” means the percentage set by Bank used in calculating the Retailer Fee payable in connection with each submission by Retailer to Bank of Charge Transaction Data pertaining to a promotional or non-promotional purchase. “Twelve Month LIBOR” means, for any date, the twelve (12) month “London Interbank Offered Rate” (LIBOR) as published in The Wall Street Journal in its “Money Rates” section (or if The Wall Street Journal shall cease to be published or to publish such rates, in such other publication as Bank may, from time to time, specify) on such date, or if The Wall Street Journal is not published on such date, on the last day before such date on which The Wall Street Journal is published whether or not such rate is actually ever charged or paid by any entity.

7.Inserts and Billing Messages.

7

EX10.1

(a) For each billing statement sent to Accountholders during a billing cycle during the Term, Bank will make available to Retailer a space for two (2) customized messages on the billing statement and Bank will include as many Retailer inserts into each billing statement as possible (but in no event more than six (6) without causing the weight of the billing statement package to exceed one ounce); provided that if Bank is required by applicable law to send a notice in such month (or if Bank reasonably believes a notice is necessary or desirable to protect Bank's interest in the Accounts), then such notice shall take priority over any proposed insert or statement message as applicable. If Retailer wishes Bank to include Retailer's inserts in any billing statements in which the inclusion of such inserts will cause the postage on such billing statements to exceed one ounce, then Retailer will provide at least five (5) days prior notice to Bank to enable Bank to adjust its process and Retailer will pay the overweight postage charges resulting therefrom. In any event, Bank shall inform Retailer in advance of incurring any overweight postage charges. The foregoing notwithstanding, Bank is not required to include any Retailer statement messages or billing inserts unless Bank receives such statement messages or copies of the billing inserts at least fifteen (15) days prior to the calendar month for the scheduled mailing date. Retailer will provide copies of all billing inserts to Bank at its own cost. At the time that such billing inserts are scheduled for insertion, Retailer and Bank will agree as to which party shall bear the cost of such inserts.

(b) The form of customized messages and all billing inserts will comply with Bank's specifications as provided to Retailer from time to time, and Bank shall have the right to reject any statement message or insert that Bank reasonably believes is detrimental to the image of the Bank or the Program. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Retailer's rights under this Section, only billing inserts and statement messages regarding the Program, or goods and services available for purchase from Retailer under the Program, shall qualify for inclusion in Accountholder billing statements.

8.Letter of Credit.

(a) Within XXXX after Bank notifies Retailer that it is in breach of the Financial Covenant(s) contained in Appendix B and provided that Retailer has not remedied such breach during such XXXX period by providing evidence reasonably acceptable to Bank that the applicable Financial Covenant(s) has been cured before the end of such XXXX period, Retailer shall deliver to Bank an Eligible Letter of Credit in the amount of the Letter of Credit Amount. If, at any time, an event shall occur which would cause any Letter of Credit previously delivered to Bank to cease to be an Eligible Letter of Credit or no longer be in an amount equal to or greater than the Letter of Credit Amount (including without limitation, as a result of increased aggregate Net Program Sales during the Term), within XXXX of the earlier of (i) the date on which Retailer first learns of the occurrence of such event; or (ii) the date on which Retailer first receives notice thereof from Bank, Retailer shall cause a substitute Eligible Letter of Credit to be issued and delivered to Bank in a face amount equal to or greater than the Letter of Credit Amount. On or before XXXX prior to the expiration of each Letter of Credit provided to Bank, Retailer shall cause a substitute Eligible Letter of Credit to be issued and delivered to Bank in a face amount equal to or greater than the Letter of Credit Amount. The obligations under this Section shall apply at all times until a day XXXX after the expiration of the Agreement at which time, Bank shall surrender any outstanding Letter of Credit to Retailer and return any balance in the Collateral Account to Retailer. [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”. A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(b) Any amounts drawn under a Letter of Credit hereunder in excess of the amounts due Bank hereunder shall be held by Bank in a non-interest bearing account on Bank’s books (the “Collateral Account”) and shall secure Retailer’s full and prompt payment of all further amounts due hereunder. If Retailer fails to pay any amounts hereunder when due or a Letter of Credit Event shall occur, Bank may immediately, and without prior notice to Retailer, further draw on the Letter of Credit or, if applicable, debit any such unpaid amount from any amounts then remaining in the Collateral Account. In addition, if Retailer fails to provide a substitute or replacement Eligible Letter of Credit as required by this Section 8 or if Retailer is in default under this Agreement or a Letter of Credit Event should occur, Bank may draw on the full amount available under the Letter of Credit, apply any amounts received in such drawing against Retailer’ outstanding obligations hereunder, and credit the Collateral Account with the amount equal to

8

EX10.1

any remaining balance. Bank’s security interest in the Collateral Account shall be in addition to any right of setoff or recoupment that Bank may otherwise have under this Agreement or applicable law.

(c) If, following Retailer’s delivery of an Eligible Letter of Credit to Bank in compliance with this Section 8, Retailer is able to obtain and maintain compliance with the Financial Covenant(s) contained in Appendix B for a period of three (3) consecutive fiscal quarters of Retailer, and no Letter of Credit Event is ongoing, then Bank shall return the Letter of Credit and/or any proceeds in the Collateral Account within thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable fiscal quarter.

(d) Bank agrees to pay for the fees required by the issuing bank for any Letter of Credit requested by Bank hereunder; provided, that the maximum amount payable by Bank in respect of each such fee shall not exceed XXXX of the applicable Letter of Credit Amount. [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”. A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(e) So long as Bank approves of the Substitute Collateral Documentation which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, Retailer may, in lieu of an eligible Letter of Credit, provide substitute collateral in the form of cash and/or securities (the “Substitute Collateral”). The Substitute Collateral shall be held in a deposit account subject to Bank’s control in accordance with the Substitute Collateral Documentation. The provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Retailer’s and Bank’s rights and obligations regarding a Letter of Credit shall equally apply to the Substitute Collateral.

(f) For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Eligible Letter of Credit” means a standby irrevocable Letter of Credit in form reasonably acceptable to Bank, satisfying the following conditions:

(i) the Letter of Credit shall not expire earlier than the first anniversary of the date of its issuance or the date of any renewal thereof;

(ii) the Letter of Credit shall be issued or confirmed by a bank reasonably acceptable to Bank which is chartered under the laws of the United States and maintains offices located in the continental United States;

(iii) the Letter of Credit shall expressly permit multiple draws;

(iv) the Letter of Credit shall be assignable and transferable; and

(v) payment under the Letter of Credit shall be made at the issuing or confirming bank’s counters at one or more offices located in the continental United States upon presentation of a draft with an accompanying certificate from any officer of the Letter of Credit beneficiary to the effect either:

(A) that Retailer has failed to renew the Letter of Credit or provide a substitute Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement and that the amount of the draft is less than or equal to the full undrawn amount of the Letter or Credit, or

(B) that Retailer has failed to pay any amounts due under this Agreement and that the amount of the draft is equal to or less than the past due amounts, or

(C) that Retailer is in default under this Agreement or a Letter of Credit Event has occurred and that the amount of the draft is less than or equal to the full undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit.

“Letter of Credit” means each letter of credit provided by Retailer to Bank in support of Retailer’ obligations under this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time.

“Letter of Credit Event” means any of the following:

(i) the occurrence of any default by Retailer under this Agreement where Bank has determined, in its discretion, that such default creates a financial risk to Bank;

9

EX10.1

(ii) to the extent not otherwise constituting a default hereunder, the identification of a material adverse change in the operations, financial condition, business or prospects of Retailer which Bank has determined, in its discretion, has impaired or is reasonably likely to impair, the ongoing operation or continued viability of the Program, or Retailer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; or

(iii) Retailer files or is otherwise placed in bankruptcy.

“Letter of Credit Amount” means, as of the date of a request by Bank for a Letter of Credit, Net Program Sales for the XXXX immediately preceding the date of such request multiplied by XXXX). [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”. A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

“Substitute Collateral Documentation” means any agreements that govern the control and disposition of the Substitute Collateral.

9.Chargeback Rights of Bank.

(a) Bank will bear all Accountholder credit losses. However, Bank may charge back to Retailer any transaction when, after giving Retailer an opportunity to investigate and respond, one or more of the following occurs:

(i) The Accountholder disputes the charge and Bank reasonably determines after considering Retailer’s response and supporting documentation, including Retailer’s return and exchange policies, that the Accountholder’s dispute is valid.

(ii) The charge does not fully comply with any of (i) this Agreement (or any representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein), (ii) the Operating Procedures, or (iii) applicable law.

(iii) The charge is disputed and Retailer cannot supply a copy of an underlying sales receipt and any disclosures required by the Operating Procedures.

(iv) Bank reasonably determines that any charge does not represent a bona fide sale by Retailer or otherwise involves fraudulent activities by Retailer’s employees, contractors or agents.

(v) The Accountholder alleges that the Retailer provided false or misleading information (e.g., incorrect information about credit promotions) and Bank reasonably determines after considering Retailer’s response and supporting documentation, including Retailer’s return and exchange policies, that the Accountholder’s dispute is valid.

(vi) The goods or services purchased have not been delivered, provided or shipped.

(vii) Any credit is submitted where there is no corresponding charge transaction.

(viii) Any disputed or fraudulent charge or credit related to an Absentee Purchase and Bank reasonably determines after considering Retailer’s response and supporting documentation that the Accountholder’s dispute is valid or the charge was fraudulent.

(ix) The Accountholder disputes the amount or existence of, or otherwise refuses to pay, all or any portion of the indebtedness resulting from a Card‑Not‑Present Purchase and Bank reasonably determines after considering Retailer’s response and supporting documentation the Accountholder’s dispute is valid. “Card‑Not‑Present Purchase” means a purchase of Retailer’s products or services financed on an Account where the person transacting such purchase does not present a Card relating to such Account, but states that he or she is an Accountholder or an authorized user. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Card-Not-Present Purchase shall not

10

EX10.1

include the initial purchase financed on an Account on the same day and at the same store location where Accountholder applied to obtain such Account.

(x) The Accountholder or any person disputes the existence of an Account, Bank has used commercially reasonable efforts to review all applications received from Retailer at the time period in question and is unable to locate the executed application that resolves the dispute, and Retailer cannot otherwise provide Bank with an executed application that resolves the dispute within twenty (20) days after Bank’s request.

(b) If any portion of any charge is charged back to the Retailer by the Bank, Bank hereby assigns all rights to payment for the amount charged back to Retailer, without recourse or warranty, except that such rights are free and clear of any lien or encumbrance of Bank.

10.Fraud Losses on Accounts.

(a) Notwithstanding Bank's right to chargeback to Retailer any Indebtedness under Section 9, if Bank determines in its reasonable discretion that the basis for such chargeback right constitutes Uncontrollable Fraud, then, with respect to each such incidence of Uncontrollable Fraud during any Program Year (and without limiting Retailer's obligation with respect to amounts payable for any other reason under Section 9, including without limitation amounts payable as a result of fraud performed by or in collusion with Retailer's employees, contractors or agents), Bank's right to chargeback the related charge or credit under Section 9 shall be limited to XXXX until the Fraud Cap then in effect for such Program Year has been reached. Once the Fraud Cap has been reached for any Program Year, Retailer shall be responsible and liable for all subsequent chargebacks attributable to Uncontrollable Fraud and shall pay Bank such amount as set forth in Section 10(b). As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) "Uncontrollable Fraud" shall mean acts of fraud perpetrated by persons other than employees, contractors or agents of Retailer, which acts of fraud occur despite Retailer's full compliance with this Agreement and the Operating Procedures then in effect (in calculating fraud losses, an incident of Uncontrollable Fraud will be attributed to the Program Year in which the fraudulent act was discovered); and (ii) "Fraud Cap" means, for any Program Year, an amount equal to the product of (A) average aggregate outstanding indebtedness for such Program Year, and (B) XXXX. For purposes of this Section, Bank acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to its chargeback rights under Sections 9(a)(ix) and 9(a)(x) in connection with any Account application the information for which was provided over the telephone or through the Internet, so long as Retailer followed any applicable Operating Procedures with respect to the completion of such application, Bank's chargeback rights shall be subject to the Uncontrollable Fraud provisions of this Section notwithstanding that Retailer cannot provide to Bank a copy of such application. [Portions of this Section have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The confidential portions of this Section that have been omitted are marked with “XXXX”. A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(b) To the extent, for any Program Year, Bank's losses resulting from Uncontrollable Fraud exceed the Fraud Cap for such Program Year, Retailer shall pay to Bank promptly upon demand, the amount by which such losses exceed the Fraud Cap.

11.Ownership of Accounts and Information; Sales Taxes and Related Record Retention.

(a) Retailer acknowledges that Bank owns all Accounts, and all information concerning Accountholders, applicants and Accounts obtained in connection with the Program (collectively, “Accountholder Information”), and that Retailer has no ownership rights therein. Accordingly, Retailer will not represent itself as the owner of, or the creditor on, any Account or Accountholder Information. Both (i) as a precaution, to confirm Bank’s ownership of Accounts and related documentation, and (ii) to secure payment of and performance by Retailer of any and all indebtedness, liabilities or obligations, now existing or hereafter arising pursuant to this Agreement, including indebtedness, liabilities and obligations that may be deemed to exist in the event of the applicability of Article 9 of the UCC to, and any recharacterization of, any transactions contemplated hereby, Retailer hereby grants to Bank a first priority continuing security interest in any right, title or interest that Retailer may now have or may

11

EX10.1

hereafter be deemed to have in the Accounts and related documentation, in the Reserve Account, and in any goods charged to Accounts which have been returned to Retailer but for which Retailer has not submitted a corresponding credit transaction to Bank, and the proceeds of all of the foregoing. Retailer authorizes Bank to prepare and file any documentation required to evidence and enforce this security interest, including UCC financing statements, and will sign any related documentation requested by Bank, including without limitation, any intercreditor agreements necessary to ensure that none of Retailer’s other creditors asserts any claim on the Accounts, the Reserve Account or any related documentation.

14

EX10.1

disclose Accountholder Information to any third party without Bank’s prior written consent. While Retailer may not make use of Accountholder Information provided to Bank in connection with applications for the Program, nothing in this paragraph is intended to restrict Retailer’s use of its own customer list, or Retail Shopper Data, in any way. Any Accountholder Information provided to Retailer by Bank may not be used to augment Retailer’s own customer files, even where Retailer transmitted this information to Bank on Bank’s behalf.

(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Retailer’s right in or use of any such Retailer Shopper Data, regardless of whether some of the information contained in Retailer Shopper Data is also information contained in Accountholder Information.

(e) Retailer and Bank shall notify the other party immediately following discovery or notification of any actual or threatened breach of security of the systems maintained by the Retailer and Bank, respectively, that relate to or are utilized under the Program or that contain Accountholder Information or Retail Shopper Data.

The Affected Party also will provide the other party with all available information regarding such breach to assist that other party in implementing its information security response program and, if applicable, in notifying affected Accountholders. For the purposes of this subparagraph (d), the term “breach of security” or “breach” means the unauthorized access to or acquisition of any record containing personally identifiable information relating to an Accountholder or applicant, whether in paper, electronic, or other form, in a manner that renders misuse of the information reasonably possible or that otherwise compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of the information.

Retailer acknowledges and agrees that the following terms and conditions will apply with respect to any third party vendor or contractor Retailer engages in any capacity in connection with its rights or obligations hereunder if such third party would receive or have access to any non-public personal information about any Accountholder or applicant, including, but not limited to, through Retailer’s website or call-center (each such third party is referred to herein as a “Third Party Vendor”):

(i) prior to engaging any Third Party Vendor, Retailer will (x) notify Bank of its intention to engage such Third Party Vendor, (y) ensure that such Third Party Vendor has sufficient controls in place to comply with clauses (iii) and (iv) below, and (z) ensure that the employees of such Third Party Vendor who will be responsible for fulfilling Retailer’s obligations under the Program have been trained sufficiently so as to be able to properly fulfill Retailer’s responsibilities hereunder;

(ii) for each Third Party Vendor authorized to process Card transactions through Retailer’s website, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including those applicable to settlement, chargeback rights and indemnities, will apply to all transactions in which such Third Party Vendor processes any Card transaction or otherwise participates in the Program on behalf of Retailer and Retailer will have the same responsibility and liability under this Agreement with respect to such transactions and participation as if Retailer had accepted the Account and sold the merchandise or services;

(iii) without limiting the preceding clause (ii), Retailer will be responsible for each Third Party Vendor’s compliance with the provisions of Section 15 and 25(p) notwithstanding that Bank, and not Retailer, may have provided the applicable Accountholder Information to such Third Party Vendor;

(iv) the provisions of Section 15(e) will apply to the Third Party Vendor and any breach of its systems, and Retailer will be responsible for satisfying the obligations of the Affected Party in any case in which there has been any actual or threatened breach of such Third Party Vendor’s systems;

30

EX10.1

(v) as between Bank and the Third Party Vendor, Bank is and will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to all Accountholder Information;

(vi) to the extent the Third Party Vendor has access to Accountholder Information in connection with the processing of Card transactions, including through Retailer’s website, it will only use such Accountholder Information for the limited purpose of processing Card transactions, and will not, without the express written consent of Bank, in each instance, commingle any Accountholder Information with any other data or information; and

(vii) Bank may terminate the functionality of the Cards through any medium operated by a Third Party Vendor at any time upon notice to Retailer if Bank determines that (A) such Third Party Vendor is failing to comply in all material respects with (1) the terms of the Agreement, as applicable to it through this Section 25(t), or (2) applicable law, or (B) allowing the Third Party Vendor to continue to receive or have access to Accountholder Information, including in connection with processing Card transactions, is likely to result in reputational or business harm to Bank.

(u) Obligations Subject to Law.

All obligations of either party hereunder shall be subject to all applicable laws, including any changes or amendments thereto and either party may take, subject to any notice provisions contained herein, any actions that it in good faith believes are required by then applicable law or the direction of any regulatory authority or, in Bank’s case, to prevent the occurrence of an “unsafe or unsound” banking practice (as defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1818).

(v) Joint and Several Obligations.

(i) Unless the context otherwise suggests, (a) all references to “Retailer” shall mean each of the Retailer-parties listed in the preamble paragraph above and shall also mean both such parties collectively, (b) all duties, liabilities and obligations of Retailer hereunder shall be the joint and several obligations of each Retailer party listed in the preamble paragraph above, and (c) all representations and warranties made by Retailer hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by each Retailer party individually, as well as by both such parties collectively.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, (a) any discretionary action or election that is authorized or permitted to a party hereunder may be made or taken only by Select Comfort and (b) notice given or demand made upon either Retailer party shall be deemed to be notice given to or demand made upon both Retailer parties. Retailer covenants for the benefit of Bank to enter into such agreements and to make such other arrangements as may be necessary to provide Select Comfort the power and authority to exercise all rights provided to Retailer hereunder and to ensure that each Retailer party receives copies of all such notices or demands from any other Retailer party hereunder. Whenever this Agreement requires that payments be made to Retailer, Bank may make such payments directly to either Retailer party, which Retailer party shall receive such payment in trust for itself and the other Retailer party entitled to all or any portion thereof. Bank shall have no obligation to ensure and no liability for the correct application of any payments made by it among the different Retailer parties. Bank may exercise its chargeback rights against either Retailer party, regardless of which of the Retailer parties originated the corresponding Account or purchase transaction.

Bank shall give Retailer written notice of any changes to the terms and conditions of the New Program at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such changes. It is the intention of Bank and Retailer that the provisions of the Agreement that relate to the acceptance of Cards, the submission of Charge Transaction Data to Bank in connection therewith, the issuance of related credits, the resolution of disputes and the processing of related chargebacks and all provisions relating to the confidentiality, privacy and security of the resulting information shall apply to the New Program to the greatest extent possible. For the avoidance of doubt, any limitations or prohibitions set forth in the Agreement on financing a particular product or service (or category of products or services) on Accounts shall apply equally to financing any such product or service on New Accounts.

(i)Except as set forth in the next sentence, the settlement provisions of Section 4 and the Retailer Fee payment provisions of Section 6 shall apply to Charge Transaction Data submitted by Retailer in connection with the acceptance of New Accounts to the same extent as Charge Transaction Data submitted in connection with Accounts originated under the Program. The foregoing notwithstanding, for any purchase financed on a New Account that is equal to or greater than XXXX, Retailer shall apply a credit based promotion with an interest deferral period of twelve (12) months (a “12 Month WPDI Promotion”); provided that, if the New Accountholder declines such promotional offer (or the purchase is less than XXXX then the standard, non-promotional New Accountholder terms (including the Base Rate) shall apply to such purchase.

A copy of this Exhibit with all sections intact has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.]

(ii)The initial Retailer Fee Percentage for the 12 Month WPDI Promotion offered to New Accountholders shall be the same as the Retailer Fee Percentage offered to Accountholders under the Program as of the date hereof; provided, that Bank shall have the right, in its discretion, to alter the 12 Month WPDI Promotion Retailer Fee Percentage solely with respect to the New Program at any time upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Retailer. Bank shall also have the right to revise the rate for the non-promotional purchases with respect to the New Program upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Retailer. In either such case, if Retailer rejects the revised Retailer Fee Percentage or the revised non-promotional purchase rate, as the case may be, Retailer’s sole remedy shall be to terminate the New Program pursuant to Section G of this Appendix. If Retailer accepts the revised Retailer Fee Percentage for the 12 Month WPDI Promotion to be offered under the New Program, or the revised non-promotional purchase rate, any such increase shall not be taken into account with respect to Retailer’s termination right under Section 19(b)(viii).

In any case in which a party shall have terminated the New Program pursuant to this Section or the New Program shall have been terminated under the preceding sentence, the parties acknowledge that their respective obligations under the Agreement with respect to transactions occurring on New Accounts prior to such termination shall continue (e.g., chargeback and credit processing). Without limiting the foregoing, following any termination of the New Program, Bank shall have the sole right to liquidate any or all of the New Accounts in any manner Bank reasonably determines

We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the periods presented.

At June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, we had $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of debt and equity securities that funded our deferred compensation plan and are classified in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $1.1 million and $1.1 million at June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, which are included in other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The majority of the debt and equity securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains/(losses) on the debt and equity securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities.

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 of Select Comfort Corporation and 100%-owned subsidiaries (“Select Comfort” or the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 28, 2014, and December 28, 2013, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly consolidated results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales, expenses and income taxes during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Our critical accounting policies consist of stock-based compensation, asset impairment charges, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select Comfort Corporation and our 100%-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, we will adopt this new guidance beginning in fiscal 2017. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new guidance and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. Management does not expect this new guidance to materially impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Sales Returns

The accrued sales returns estimate is based on historical return rates, which are reasonably consistent from period to period, and is adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. If actual returns vary from expected rates, sales in future periods are adjusted.

The activity in the sales returns liability account was as follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
Balance at beginning of year	$	9,433		$	5,330
Additions that reduce net sales	32,923			23,388
Deductions from reserves	(33,162		)	(22,963		)
Acquired sales return reserve(1)	—			50
Balance at end of period	$	9,194		$	5,805

⁽¹⁾ Acquired sales return reserve resulted from the acquisition of Comfortaire Corporation in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Warranty Liabilities

We provide a 25-year limited warranty on our beds. The customer participates over the last 23 years of the warranty period by paying a portion of the retail value of replacement parts. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of sales, are based on historical trends and warranty claims rates incurred by us and are adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. We regularly assess and adjust the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs.

The activity in the accrued warranty liabilities account was as follows (in thousands): 

	Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
Balance at beginning of year	$	4,153		$	4,858

Acquired warranty reserve(1)	—			658
Balance at end of period	$	4,433		$	4,944

⁽¹⁾ Acquired warranty reserve resulted from the acquisition of Comfortaire Corporation in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

On August 23, 2013, we filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in the District of Minnesota against Gentherm, Inc. seeking a declaratory judgment that Select Comfort be named as an assignee of certain patents asserted against Select Comfort by Gentherm or in the alternative that the asserted patents are not enforceable or are invalid or that Select Comfort and its products do not infringe any valid claim of the asserted patents. This complaint was filed after Gentherm asserted in a letter that Select Comfort’s recently introduced DualTemp™ layer product infringed certain patents owned by Gentherm. Subsequently, Gentherm filed counterclaims alleging infringement of its patents and seeking various legal and equitable remedies, including injunctive relief, treble damages and attorney’s fees. We believe the claims asserted by Gentherm are without merit, and we intend to vigorously pursue our claims and defend the claims asserted by Gentherm.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Debt

Our $20.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as amended, is an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on August 31, 2016. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the amount of the line from $20.0 million to up to $50.0 million in total availability, subject to lender approval.

Any borrowings under the Credit Agreement will, at our request, be classified as either LIBOR Loans or Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) Loans (both as defined in the Credit Agreement). The rate of interest payable by us in respect of loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility is: (i) with respect to LIBOR Loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the interest period then in effect, plus 1.25%; or (ii) with respect to ABR Loans, the ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then in effect for the Daily One-Month LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.50%, or the prime rate. We are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, including minimum tangible net worth, a requirement to maintain a minimum amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, and to maintain at the administrative agent cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities equal to the amount the lenders are committed to lend under the Credit Agreement.

At both June 28, 2014, and December 28, 2013, $20.0 million was available under the Credit Agreement, we had no borrowings and we were in compliance with all financial covenants. We had no outstanding letters of credit as of June 28, 2014 or December 28, 2013.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Business and Basis of Presentation, Policy

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 of Select Comfort Corporation and 100%-owned subsidiaries (“Select Comfort” or the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 28, 2014, and December 28, 2013, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly consolidated results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 and other recent filings with the SEC.

Use of Estimates, Policy

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales, expenses and income taxes during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Our critical accounting policies consist of stock-based compensation, asset impairment charges, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

Consolidation, Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select Comfort Corporation and our 100%-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, we will adopt this new guidance beginning in fiscal 2017. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new guidance and management is currently evaluating which transition approach to use. Management does not expect this new guidance to materially impact our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Stockholders' Equity, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The cost of stock repurchases is first charged to additional paid-in-capital. Once additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, any additional amounts are charged to retained earnings.
