This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock,
par value of $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of Sealy Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), which has its principal executive office
at Sealy Drive, One Office Parkway, Trinity, North Carolina 27370. This
Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the initial
Schedule 13D, filed January 9, 2012, and the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D,
filed February 14, 2012, filed by BART Partners, LLC, relating to the Common
Stock (collectively, the "Schedule 13D").
This Amendment No. 2 constitutes an "exit" filing with respect to the
Schedule 13D by BART Partners, LLC but not as to FPR Partners, LLC. BART
Partners, LLC has delegated its authority as the Reporting Person with respect
to the Common Stock to FPR Partners, LLC.
Item 2. Identity and Background
-----------------------
This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly on behalf of FPR
Partners, LLC and BART Partners, LLC (each a "Reporting Person"). The
agreement among the Reporting Persons relating to the joint filing of this
Schedule 13D is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto.
Each Reporting Person is a limited liability company organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware. The principal business of each
Reporting Person is that of investment management. The address of the
principal office of each Reporting Person is 199 Fremont Street, Suite 2500,
San Francisco, CA 94105-2261
During the last five years, the Reporting Persons have not (i) been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
-------------------------------------------------
The source of funds used to purchase the securities of the Issuer
reported herein was the working capital of certain advisory clients of the
Reporting Persons. No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Common Stock,
other than any borrowed funds used for working capital purposes in the
ordinary course of business.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
----------------------
The securities of the Issuer as to which this schedule is filed were
acquired for investment purposes, and such purchases have been made in the
ordinary course of business.
In pursuing such investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may further
purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in the Common Stock at
times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable to benefit from changes in
market prices of such Common Stock, changes in the Issuer's operations,
business strategy or prospects, or from sale or merger of the Issuer. To
evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons will routinely monitor the
Issuer's operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive
and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions,
as well as alternative investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of
the Reporting Persons and other investment considerations. Consistent with
its investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons
may discuss such matters with management or directors of the Issuer,
other shareholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic
partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of
credit and other investors. Such factors and discussions may materially
affect, and result in, the Reporting Person's modifying their ownership of
Common Stock, exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate
confidentiality or similar agreements, proposing changes in the Issuer's
operations, governance or capitalization, or in proposing one or more of the
other actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D.
------------------------- -------------------------
CUSIP NO. 812139301 Page 5 of 7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate other plans and/or
make other proposals, and take such actions with respect to their investment
in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in paragraphs
(a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, or acquire additional Common Stock
or dispose of all the Common Stock owned by them, in the public market or
privately negotiated transactions. The Reporting Persons may at any time
reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.
Accordingly, on March 29, 2012, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to
Gary E. Morin, member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, which is
attached as Exhibit 1 hereto.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
------------------------------------

CUSIP NO. 812139301 Page 6 of 7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Reporting Persons hold 965,019 of Issuer's 8% Senior Secured Third
Lien Convertible Notes due 2016 (the "Notes"). The Notes are convertible into
29,352,329 shares of Issuer's Common Stock. However, based on the
Prospectus Supplement of Sealy Corporation dated April 9, 2009 (the
"Prospectus"), the Reporting Persons are required to provide 61 days' notice
to the Issuer in order to receive shares of Issuer's Common Stock upon
conversion of the Notes. According to the Prospectus, no holder of the Notes
(other than Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., its affiliates and certain
members of management) will be permitted to receive shares upon conversion of
the Notes to the extent such conversion will result in such holder becoming a
"beneficial owner" under the securities laws by owning 5% or more of the
shares of Issuer's Common Stock. In addition, no holder of more than 5% of
Issuer's Common Stock at May 27, 2009 (other than Kohlberg Kravis Roberts
& Co. L.P., its affiliates and certain members of management) may receive
shares upon conversion of the Notes to the extent such conversion will
result in such holder becoming a "beneficial owner," directly or indirectly,
of more than an additional 1% of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion
of the Notes. These limitations on beneficial ownership shall be terminated
(i) upon 61 days' notice to the Issuer by any holder of Notes, solely with
respect to the Notes beneficially owned by such holder, (ii) immediately upon
delivery by the Issuer of notice of its election to terminate conversion
rights to the extent permitted by the indenture governing the Notes,
(iii) immediately upon delivery by the Issuer of notice of a fundamental
change or (iv) on June 15, 2016.
Except as described above, there are no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting
Persons or between such persons and any other person with respect to any
securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or
voting of any securities of the Issuer, finder's fees, joint ventures,
loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions
of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
