Note 3--Restructuring Charge

   During the first quarter of 2001, the Company commenced a plan to shutdown
its Memphis facility and recorded a $0.5 million charge primarily for
severance. The Company plans to cease operations early in the second quarter
of 2001. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company also recorded a $0.7
million charge for severance related to a management reorganization. All
payments related to these charges are expected to be made by the end of fiscal
2001.

Note 4--Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

   FAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended, requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at
fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value
through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the
hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the
change in the fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through
earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is
recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in
fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company adopted FAS 133
on November 27, 2000 and recorded a $0.2 million gain net of income tax
expense which is recorded in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements
of income as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.

Note 7--Contingencies

   The Company is currently conducting an environmental cleanup at a formerly
owned facility in South Brunswick, New Jersey pursuant to the New Jersey
Industrial Site Recovery Act. The Company and one of its subsidiaries are
parties to an Administrative Consent Order issued by the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection. Pursuant to that order, the Company and its
subsidiary agreed to conduct soil and groundwater remediation at the property.
The Company does not believe that its manufacturing processes were the source
of contamination. The Company sold the property in 1997. The Company and its
subsidiary retained primary responsibility for the required remediation. The
Company has completed essentially all soil remediation with the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection approval, and have concluded a pilot
test of groundwater remediation system.

   The Company is also remediating soil and groundwater contamination at an
inactive facility located in Oakville, Connecticut. Although the Company is
conducting the remediation voluntarily, it obtained Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection approval of the remediation plan. The Company has
completed essentially all soil remediation under the remediation plan and is
currently monitoring groundwater at the site. The Company believes the
contamination is attributable to the manufacturing operations of previous
unaffiliated occupants of the facility.

   While the Company cannot predict the ultimate timing or costs of the South
Brunswick and Oakville remediation, based on facts currently known, the
Company believes that the accruals recorded are adequate and does not believe
the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the
financial position or future operations of the Company; however, in the event
of an adverse decision, these matters could have a material adverse effect.

   The Company has been identified as a potential responsible party pursuant
to the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act
with regard to two waste disposal sites and under analogous state legislation
with regard to a third. Although liability under these statutes is generally
joint and several, as a practical matter, liability is usually allocated among
all financially responsible parties. Based on the nature and quantity of the
Company's wastes, the Company believes that liability at each of these sites
in unlikely to be material.

Note 8--Related Party Transactions

   The Company made sales of $35.5 million and $30.8 million of finished
mattress products for the quarters ended February 25, 2001 and February 27,
2000, respectively, pursuant to multi-year supply contracts, to affiliated and
related parties of Bain Capital, Inc., the Company's largest stockholder. The
Company believes that the terms on which mattresses are supplied to related
parties are not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably be
obtained in a comparable transaction at such time in an arm's-length basis
from a person that is not an affiliate or related party.

   In January, 2001, pursuant to an employment agreement, an executive of the
Company transferred 891,630 shares of the Company's Class A common stock for
$10.7 million. In addition, the Company acquired 54,563 shares of Class A
common stock for $655,000 from an executive of the Company upon separation
from the Company.

Note 9--Subsequent Events

   On April 6, 2001, the Company completed an acquisition of Sapsa Bedding
S.A., of Paris, France. The purchase price for the acquisition was EUR 45.8
million (approximately $41.3 million), less estimated assumed debt of EUR 11.8
million (approximately $10.6 million). The acquisition will be accounted for
under the purchase method.

Note 9--Subsequent Events--(Continued)

   On April 10, 2001, the Company completed a private placement of $125
million of 9.875% senior subordinated notes. These notes, which are due and
payable on December 15, 2007, require semi-annual interest payments commencing
June 15, 2001. The proceeds from the placement were used to repay existing
bank debt.

Note 10--Segment Information

   The Company operates predominately in one industry segment, that being the
manufacture and marketing of conventional bedding.

Note 11--Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information

   The Parent and each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries has fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, the obligation to
pay principal and interest with respect to the Senior Subordinated and Senior
Subordinated Discount Notes of Sealy Mattress Company (the "Issuer").
Substantially all of the Issuer's operating income and cash flow is generated
by its subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet the Issuer's debt
service obligations are provided in part by distributions or advances from its
subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, contractual and legal restrictions,
as well as the financial condition and operating requirements of the Issuer's
subsidiaries, could limit the Issuer's ability to obtain cash from its
subsidiaries for the purpose of meeting its debt service obligations,
including the payment of principal and interest on the Notes. Although holders
of the Notes will be direct creditors of the Issuer's principal direct
subsidiaries by virtue of the guarantees, the Issuer has subsidiaries ("Non-
Guarantor Subsidiaries") that are not included among the Guarantor
Subsidiaries, and such subsidiaries will not be obligated with respect to the
Notes. As a result, the claims of creditors of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries
will effectively have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such
companies over the claims of creditors of the Issuer, including the holders of
the Notes.

   The following supplemental consolidating condensed financial statements
present:

  1. Consolidating condensed balance sheets as of February 25, 2001 and
     November 26, 2000, consolidating condensed statements of operations and

     Company (the "Issuer"), combined Guarantor Subsidiaries and combined
     Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries with their investments in subsidiaries
     accounted for using the equity method.

  3. Elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent and all of its
     subsidiaries.

                               SEALY CORPORATION

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2--Quarter Ended February 25, 2001 Compared with Quarter Ended February
27, 2000

   Net Sales. Net sales increased $9.2 million, or 3.6% for the quarter ended
February 25, 2001, when compared to the quarter ended February 27, 2000. The
increase is attributable to an increase in volume of 5.0%, and a decrease in
average unit selling price of 1.4%. Volume growth was primarily attributable
to the acquisitions of the Bassett brand bedding products and the Argentina
operation. The lower average unit selling price is primarily attributable to
growth in the international business as those products typically carry a lower
unit selling price.

   Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold for the quarter, as a percentage of
net sales, decreased to 55.0% from 55.1%, primarily due to lower material
costs.

   Selling, General, and Administrative. Selling, general, and administrative
expenses increased $3.5 million to $87.2 million, or 32.8% of net sales,
compared to $83.7 million, or 32.6% of net sales. This increase is
attributable to additional costs associated with the acquired business in
Argentina. In addition, Argentina incurs costs associated with its retail
store operations. The Company also incurred increased delivery costs of $1.0
million primarily associated with increased fuel costs.

   Stock Based Compensation. The Company has an obligation to repurchase
certain securities of the Company held by an officer at the greater of fair
market value or original cost. The Company recorded a $0.5 million and $1.0
million charge during the quarter ended February 25, 2001 and February 27,
2000, respectively, to revalue this obligation to reflect an increase in the
fair market value of the securities.

   Restructuring Charges. During the quarter of 2001, the Company commenced a
plan to shutdown its Memphis facility and recorded a $0.5 million charge
primarily for severance. Additionally, the Company recorded a $0.7 million
charge for severance due to a management reorganization.

   Interest Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $0.2
million as a result of lower effective interest rates, partially offset by
higher average debt balances.

   Income Tax. The Company's effective income tax rates in 2001 and 2000
differ from the Federal statutory rate principally because of the application
of purchase accounting, the effect of certain foreign tax rate differentials,
and state and local income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate for 2001 is
approximately 47.0% compared to 46.0% for 2000.

   Net Income. For the reasons set forth above, the Company recorded net
income of $4.9 million for the quarter ended February 25, 2001 versus net
income of $5.6 million for the quarter ended February 27, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Company's principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations and
borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company's principal use of
funds consists of payments of principal and interest on its Senior Credit
Agreements, capital expenditures and interest payments on its outstanding
Notes. Capital expenditures totaled $2.5 million for the quarter ended
February 25, 2001. Management believes that annual capital expenditure
limitations in its current debt agreements will not significantly inhibit the
Company from meeting its ongoing capital needs. At February 25, 2001, the
Company had approximately $44.6 million available under its Revolving Credit
Facility including Letters of Credit issued totaling approximately $9.2
million. The Company's net weighted average borrowing cost was 9.6% for the
three months ended February 25, 2001. The Revolving Credit Facility expires in
December 2002. The Company expects it will have the ability to renew the

                                      15


existing revolving credit facility or have the ability to find new financing
with comparable terms. On April 10, 2001, the Company completed a private
placement of $125 million of 9.875% senior subordinated notes. These notes,
which are due and payable on December 15, 2007, require semi-annual interest
payments commencing June 15, 2001. The proceeds from the placement were used
to repay existing bank debt.

   During the first quarter, the Company secured an additional revolving
credit facility with a separate banking group. This facility provides for
borrowing in Canadian currency up to C$25 million. The revolving credit
facility expires in fiscal 2004.

   On April 6, 2001, the Company completed an acquisition of Sapsa Bedding
S.A., of Paris, France. The purchase price for the acquisition was EUR 45.8
million (approximately $41.3 million), less estimated assumed debt of EUR 11.8
million (approximately $10.6 million). Funding of the EUR 34 million
(approximately $30.7 million) net purchase price was provided through
approximately $8.6 million of existing cash, a $12.5 million draw on the new
Canadian facility and a $9.6 million draw on the existing Revolving Credit
Facility.

   Management believes that the Company will have the necessary liquidity
through cash flow from operations, and availability under the Revolving Credit
Facility for the next several years to fund its expected capital expenditures,
obligations under its credit agreement and subordinated note indentures,
environmental liabilities, and for other needs required to manage and operate
its business.

Forward Looking Statements

   This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Report Act of
1995. Although the Company believes its plans are based upon reasonable
assumptions as of the current date, it can give no assurances that such
expectations can be attained. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the Company's expectations include: general business
and economic conditions, competitive factors, raw materials pricing, and
fluctuations in demand.

Item 3--Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

   Information relative to the Company's market risk sensitive instruments by
major category at November 26, 2000 is presented under Item 7a of the
registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 26,
2000.

Foreign Currency Exposures

   The Company's earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of its
subsidiaries' functional currency as compared to the currencies of its foreign
denominated purchases. Foreign currency forward, swap and option contracts are
used to hedge against the earnings effects of such fluctuations. The result of
a uniform 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to currencies of
countries in which the Company manufactures or sells its products would not be
material to earnings or financial position. This calculation assumes that each
exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

   Because the Company's obligations under the bank credit agreement bear
interest at floating rates, the Company is sensitive to changes in prevailing
interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its long-
term debt interest rate exposure, rather than for trading purposes. A 10%
increase or decrease in market interest rates that effect the Company's
interest rate derivative instruments would not have a material impact on
earnings during the next fiscal year.
