     under the Company's 1990 and 1997 Stock Incentive Plan.

(2)  In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
     amounts  shown on this  table  represent  hypothetical  gains that could be
     achieved for the  respective  options if exercised at the end of the option
     term.  These gains are based on assumed rates of stock  appreciation  of 5%
     and 10%  compounded  annually  from the date the  respective  options  were
     granted to their expiration date and do not reflect the Company's estimates
     or  projections  of future common stock prices.  The gains shown are net of
     the option price, but do not include deductions for taxes or other expenses
     associated  with the  exercise.  Actual  gains,  if any,  on  stock  option
     exercises will depend upon the future  performance of the common stock, the
     executive's  continued  employment with the Company or its subsidiaries and
     the date on which the options are  exercised.  The amounts  represented  in
     this table might not necessarily be achieved.

(3)  These options become exercisable when the average of the high and low sales
     prices of the Company's  common stock,  as reported by the Nasdaq  National
     Market System, exceeds $12.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading
     days.

(4)  These options become exercisable when the average of the high and low sales
     prices of the Company's  common stock,  as reported by the Nasdaq  National
     Market System, exceeds $24.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading
     days.

(5)  These options become exercisable when the average of the high and low sales
     prices of the Company's  common stock,  as reported by the Nasdaq  National
     Market System, exceeds $36.00 per share for at least 30 consecutive trading
     days.

(6)  These options  become  exercisable  in as nearly equal as possible  monthly
     installments  over a  36-month  period,  so long as the  executive  remains
     employed by the  Company or one of its  subsidiaries  at that date.  To the
     extent  not  already   exercisable,   these  options   become   immediately
     exercisable  in full upon  certain  changes in control of the  Company  and
     remain exercisable for the remainder of their term.

(7)  These options became immediately exercisable at the date of grant.

(8)  Represents options granted to St. Paul Venture Capital V, LLC, an affiliate
     of St. Paul Venture Capital, Inc., Mr. Hopf's employer.

CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

Under the Company's 1990 Omnibus Stock Option Plan (the "1990 Plan") and the
1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan"), if a "change in control" of the
Company occurs, then, unless the Compensation Committee decides otherwise either
at the time of grant of an incentive award or at any time thereafter, all



                                       11


outstanding options will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain
exercisable for the remainder of their terms, regardless of whether the
participant to whom such options have been granted remains in the employ or
service of the Company or any subsidiary.

In addition, under the 1997 Plan, if a "change in control" of the Company
occurs, then, unless the Compensation Committee decides otherwise either at the
time of grant of an incentive award or at any time thereafter:

o    all outstanding stock appreciation rights will become immediately
     exercisable in full and will remain exercisable for the remainder of their
     terms, regardless of whether the participant to whom such stock
     appreciation rights have been granted remains in the employ or service of
     the Company or any subsidiary;

o    all outstanding restricted stock awards will become immediately fully
     vested and non-forfeitable; and

o    all outstanding performance units and stock bonuses will vest and/or
     continue to vest in the manner determined by the Compensation Committee and
     set forth in the agreement evidencing such performance units or stock
     bonuses.

In addition, the Compensation Committee may pay cash for all or a portion of the
outstanding options. The amount of cash the participants would receive will
equal (a) the fair market value of such shares immediately prior to the change
in control minus (b) the exercise price per share and any required tax
withholding. The acceleration of the exercisability of options under the 1990
and 1997 Plans may be limited, however, if the acceleration would be subject to
an excise tax imposed upon "excess parachute payments."

Under the 1990 and 1997 Plans, a "change in control" will include any of the
following:

o    a merger involving the Company where the pre-merger shareholders own less
     than 50% of the surviving company's voting stock (whether or not approved
     by the Board of Directors);

o    a transfer of substantially all of the Company's assets or liquidation of
     the Company;

o    ownership by any person or group of more than 50% of the Company's voting
     stock;

o    the "continuity" directors (directors as of the effective date of the Plan
     and their future nominees) ceasing to constitute a majority of the Board of
     Directors; or

o    any change of control that is required by the Securities and Exchange
     Commission to be reported.

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, solely for purposes
of options granted under such plans prior to July 27, 1999, no change in control
will be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the 1990 and 1997 Plans by
virtue of any transaction which was approved by the affirmative vote of at least
a majority of the "continuity" directors, as defined above. For options granted
on or after July 27, 1999, each of the transactions constituting a change in
control as defined above will constitute a change in control for purposes of the
plans regardless of whether the transaction was approved by the continuity
directors.

             COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

                               -------------------

The Compensation Committee is comprised solely of non-employee directors and
consisted of Ervin R. Shames, Patrick A. Hopf and William J. Lansing through
March of 2000, and thereafter consisted of Thomas J. Albani and David T. Kollat.
The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors
concerning the compensation and benefits of the Company's directors, executive
officers and key employees, and acts on such other matters relating to their
compensation as it deems appropriate. The Compensation Committee administers our
stock option plans, pursuant to which incentive stock options, non-statutory
stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance
units and stock bonuses may be granted to eligible employees, officers,
directors and consultants. The Compensation Committee also administers our
executive and key employee incentive plan, pursuant to which eligible employees
may be granted incentive compensation for achievement of Company and individual
performance targets.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

The philosophy underlying the decisions and recommendations of the Compensation
Committee is to encourage, recognize and reward results and achievements, at
both Company and individual levels, that are aligned with the interests of our
shareholders. Consistent with this philosophy, the objectives for the Company's
executive compensation programs are to:

o    Motivate executives to achieve desired Company performance goals by
     rewarding such achievements.

o    Provide compensation that is competitive with comparable companies to
     enable the Company to attract and retain key executive talent.

o    Align the interests of the Company's executives with the interests of the
     Company's shareholders.

In determining its recommendations as to the compensation of the Company's
executives, the Compensation Committee considers factors, such as Company
performance, both in isolation and in comparison to companies of comparable
size, development and complexity; the individual performance of executive
officers; historical compensation levels at the Company; the overall competitive
environment for executives and the level of compensation necessary to attract
and retain the talent necessary to achieve the Company's objectives. The
Compensation Committee places primary emphasis on Company performance (rather
than individual performance) as measured against goals approved by the
Compensation Committee. In analyzing these factors, the Compensation Committee
from time to time reviews competitive compensation data gathered in comparative
surveys or collected by independent consultants.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM COMPONENTS

The three principal components of Select Comfort's executive compensation
programs are base salary, annual incentive bonuses, and long-term incentive
opportunities under our stock option plans. Each of these components is
discussed in greater detail below.

BASE SALARY. The Compensation Committee's recommendations regarding the base
salary of the executive officers of the Company, including the compensation of
the President and Chief Executive Officer, are based on a number of factors,
including each executive officer's experience and qualifications, the potential
impact of the individual on the Company's performance, the level of skill and
responsibility



                                       13


required fulfill the individual's responsibilities and the other factors
described above. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and the Compensation
Committee seeks to set executive officer base salaries at moderately to
aggressively competitive levels in relation to the companies with which the
Company competes for executives. Base salaries for the executive officers were
increased at the beginning of 2000 in order to retain key members of the
management team to pursue the Company's turnaround plans. For 2001, base
salaries for the executive officers have been maintained at the same levels as
in 2000.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUS. The Company's annual incentive bonus program is designed
to provide a direct financial incentive to the Company's executive officers,
including the President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as other key
employees, for achievement of specific Company performance goals. Consistent
with the requirements of the Company's Executive and Key Employee Incentive
Plan, at the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee
determines:

o    The employees by grade level that are eligible to participate in the plan
     for the year;

o    The quarterly and/or annual performance goal or goals (from among sales
     growth and volume, net operating profit, cash flow, earnings per share,
     return on capital, and/or return on assets) for the year; and

o    For each eligible employee, (A) the target bonus level as a percentage of
     base compensation, (B) the portion of the target bonus level that is based
     on achievement of objective company performance goals, and (C) the portion
     of the target bonus level, if any, that is based on achievement of
     objective individual performance goals.

In fiscal 2000, the Compensation Committee established incentive compensation
for executive officers based on Company-wide operating profit and cash flow
targets, and also established minimum bonus levels in order to retain key
management team members to enable the Company to pursue its turnaround plans.
Payment of incentive compensation to executive officers related to fiscal 2000
has been deferred pending the return of the Company to quarterly profitability.
For fiscal 2001, incentive compensation for the executive officers is based
exclusively on Company-wide annual operating profit and cash flow performance
targets.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION. The Compensation Committee makes long-term
incentive compensation available to the Company's executive officers, as well as
to many other employees of the Company, through the grant of stock options. The
purpose of stock option grants is to advance the interests of the Company and
its shareholders by enabling the Company to attract and retain persons of
ability to perform services for the Company, including persons performing
services for the Company as executive officers. By granting stock options to
executive officers and other employees, the Compensation Committee seeks to
align the long-term interests of these individuals with those of the Company's
shareholders by creating a strong and direct nexus between compensation and
shareholder return and to enable executive officers and key managers to develop
and maintain a significant ownership position in the Company. The Compensation
Committee determines the number of options and the terms and conditions of such
options based on certain factors, including (for grants to executive officers)
the past performance of the executive officer, the executive officer's potential
impact on the achievement of the Company's objectives, past grants or awards of
stock-based compensation, and comparative compensation data regarding option
grants by companies of comparable size and complexity. Additionally, options may
be granted to an executive officer as an incentive at the time the executive
officer joins the Company.

All options have an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. In past periods,

options have typically become exercisable in 36 equal monthly increments over a
36-month period from the date of grant. For option grants made in 2001, the
options typically become exercisable in three equal increments on each of the
first three anniversaries of the date of grant. Options typically remain
exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, provided the
individual continues to be employed by the Company during such period.
Alternatively, some option grants have been "performance-based" and become fully
exercisable upon the trading price of the Company's common stock reaching or
exceeding certain levels for at least 30 days or upon the end of a five-year
period from the date of grant.

In 2000, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of options to all
executive officers and key managers of the Company. The primary purposes of the
2000 stock option grants was to provide an incentive to newly hired executive
officers and managers, to retain previously employed executive officers and
managers, and to align the interests of all such executive officers and key
managers with the interests of the shareholders of the Company.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

During fiscal 2000, two different people served in the capacity of President and
CEO for different parts of the year.

Patrick A. Hopf served as interim President and CEO from mid-July 1999 until
mid-March 2000, pending the search for a permanent President and CEO. Mr. Hopf
did not serve as, and was not compensated as, an employee of the Company. In
consideration for Mr. Hopf's service as interim President and CEO, the
Compensation Committee granted to St. Paul Venture Capital V, LLC, which is an
affiliate of Mr. Hopf's employer, 10,000 options per month for the first six
months and 27,000 options per month for the final two months of Mr. Hopf's
tenure.

William R. McLaughlin was hired as President and CEO in March 2000. The
principal terms of Mr. McLaughlin's compensation package include: (A) an annual
base salary of $500,000; (B) a cash bonus of between 0% and 100% of base salary;
and (C) options to purchase an aggregate of up to 600,000 shares of common
stock, including (i) up to 300,000 shares vesting in equal monthly increments
over 36 months, (ii) 50,000 shares vesting at such time that the trading price
of Select Comfort common stock exceeds $12.00 per share for 30 consecutive
trading days, (iii) 100,000 shares vesting at such time that the trading price
of Select Comfort common stock exceeds $24.00 per share for 30 consecutive
trading days, and (iv) 150,000 shares vesting at such time that the trading
price of Select Comfort common stock exceeds $36.00 per share for 30 consecutive
trading days. The payment to Mr. McLaughlin of incentive compensation in the
amount of $146,390 accrued in 2000 has been deferred pending the achievement of
a quarterly operating profit by the Company.

In addition to the foregoing, Mr. McLaughlin (i) is entitled to participate in
standard employee benefit plans offered by the Company, (ii) was entitled to and
received reimbursement of relocation and temporary living expenses aggregating
$121,322 in 2000, (iii) is entitled to severance compensation in certain
circumstances, and (iv) is eligible for additional stock options as may be
granted from time to time by the Compensation Committee. See "Executive
Compensation and Other Benefits - Employment and Consulting Agreements."

The terms of Mr. McLaughlin's compensation were determined in part on the basis
of a survey completed by an independent consultant of compensation and benefits
payable to CEOs for companies of comparable size and complexity to Select
Comfort.

SECTION 162(M)

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of certain
compensation paid to the chief executive officer and each of the four other most
highly compensated executives of a publicly held corporation to


                                       15


$1,000,000. In 2000, the Company did not pay "compensation" within the meaning
of Section 162(m) to any such executive officers in excess of $1,000,000.

The $1,000,000 limit on deductibility does not apply to compensation that meets
certain requirements for qualified performance-based compensation as further
described in the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan,
as well as the Executive and Key Employee Incentive Plan submitted for approval
by shareholders at the Annual Meeting, are designed to permit stock options or
cash incentive awards granted under the respective plans to qualify as
deductible performance-based compensation under the Internal Revenue Code. In
reviewing and adopting other executive compensation programs, the Compensation
Committee plans to continue to consider the impact of Section 162(m) limitations
in light of the materiality of the deductibility of potential benefits and the
impact of such limitations on other compensation objectives. Because the
Compensation Committee seeks to maintain flexibility in accomplishing the
Company's compensation goals, however, it has not adopted a policy that all
compensation must be fully deductible.

to a certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated December
28, 1995, as amended, among the Company and the other parties thereto.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

For a discussion of the employment agreements entered into by the Company and
certain Named Executive Officers, see "Executive Compensation and Other
Benefits--Employment Agreements."

GE FINANCING AND RESTRUCTURING OF GE WARRANTS

In March 1997, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with General Electric
Capital Corporation ("GECC"), pursuant to which we issued to GECC a senior
subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $15.0 million. We repaid
this note in full in December 1998 with a portion of the net proceeds of our
initial public offering. In addition to this note, we issued to GECC a warrant
to purchase 1,100,000 shares of common stock exercisable through March 31, 2005
at an exercise price of $10.50 and a warrant providing contingent rights to
purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.01
after May 1, 1999, subject to adjustment and cancellation upon the occurrence of
certain events.

Effective in March 1998, the Company and GECC restructured these warrants by
combining them into one warrant to purchase 1,309,583 shares of common stock at
an exercise price of $8.82. In November 1998, in connection with the reduction
of the conversion price of our Series E preferred stock, we issued an additional
warrant to GECC to purchase 5,513 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$8.82 per share. In December 1998, in connection with our initial public
offering, GECC exercised a portion of this warrant and as of January 1, 2000,
held a combined warrant to purchase 1,076,098 shares of common stock. By
operation of certain anti-dilution provisions in GECC's warrant, as of December
31, 2000, GECC's warrant represented the rights to acquire 1,131,357 shares at
an exercise price of $8.39 per share. GECC has certain demand and incidental
registration rights covering the shares


                                       21


of common stock issuable upon exercise of this warrant.

ACQUISITION OF ASSETS OF SLEEPTEC, INC.

In May 1999, the Company entered into a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement pursuant to which the Company invested $2,000,000 in SleepTec, Inc., a
developer and manufacturer of sofa sleepers with air supported mattresses, in
exchange for 57% of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of SleepTec,
representing approximately 10.3% of the fully diluted equity of SleepTec at that
time. In December 1999, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of SleepTec was
split on a 1.45714 for 1 basis. As a result of this stock split, the Company's
investment in the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of SleepTec represented
approximately 13.55% of the fully diluted equity of SleepTec at that time.

Affiliates of St. Paul Venture Capital, Inc. own a majority of the outstanding
capital stock of SleepTec. Patrick A. Hopf, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Select Comfort, is the President of St. Paul Venture Capital, Inc.
and a member of the Board of Directors of SleepTec, Inc.

In November 2000, the Company acquired substantially all of the business and
assets of SleepTec. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Company for the
assets of SleepTec consisted of (i) a non-interest-bearing subordinated
convertible debenture in the original principal amount $4,000,000 due November
10, 2005 and convertible at any time into shares of the Company's common stock
at the rate of $5.50 per share; (ii) $400,000 in cash; and (iii) $250,000 in a
combination of cash and equity (in the form of options) to employees of SleepTec
for transition services and severance compensation.

In fiscal 2000, the Company purchased product in the amount of $377,000 from
SleepTec.

All of the terms of the Company's relationship with and acquisition of SleepTec
were determined through arm's-length negotiations and management believes that
all such terms are no less favorable than terms available from any unrelated
party.
