                        SELECT COMFORT ANNOUNCES RESULTS
                        OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

MINNEAPOLIS - (May 11, 2005) - Select Comfort Corporation (Nasdaq:SCSS), the
nation's leading bed retailer and creator of the Sleep Number(R) bed, announced
results of its annual meeting of shareholders, held today at the company's
corporate headquarters.

        In his presentation, Select Comfort chairman and chief executive officer
Bill McLaughlin, said, "2004 marked yet another year of market growth and
expansion for Select Comfort, with 2005 off to an even stronger start - marking
the company's fourth consecutive year of double-digit revenue and earnings
growth."

        In addition to these double-digit growth rates, McLaughlin said he is
particularly pleased that the company is so well-positioned for long-term,
sustainable growth. "We have a differentiated product, an advantaged business
model, proven growth programs, demonstrated leadership across all levels and
positive consumer trends on which to grow," McLaughlin said. "When you combine
that with some of the highest customer loyalty scores in the industry today,
you've got a winning combination."

        In the formal business portion of the meeting, shareholders elected
Christopher P. Kirchen, Brenda J. Lauderback, Michael A. Peel and Jean-Michel
Valette to new three-year terms on the board of directors. In addition,
shareholders approved amendments to Select Comfort's employee stock plan and
ratified the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent auditors for the current
fiscal year.

        Select Comfort expects to provide a second quarter update on Wednesday,
