(In thousands, except per common share amounts)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation and Description of Business—Tempur-Pedic International Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries is a U.S. based, multinational company. The term “Tempur-Pedic International” refers to Tempur-Pedic International Inc. only, and the term “Company” refers to Tempur-Pedic International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company manufactures, markets and sells products including pillows, mattresses and other related products. The Company manufactures essentially all its pressure-relieving TEMPUR® products at three manufacturing facilities, with one located in Denmark and two in the U.S. The Company has sales distribution subsidiaries operating in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific and has third party distribution arrangements in certain other countries where it does not have subsidiaries. The Company sells its products through four sales channels: Retail, Direct, Healthcare and Third party.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. It is the opinion of management that all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.

(b) Basis of Consolidation—The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Tempur-Pedic International, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is held. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity interests of consolidated affiliates not owned by the Company. On January 29, 2010, the Company established a 51% interest in Tempur Shanghai Holding Ltd (a Hong Kong company).

(c) Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s results are affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory and legal actions. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, interest and monetary exchange rates, government fiscal policies and changes in the prices of raw materials, can have a significant effect on operations. While the Company maintains reserves for anticipated liabilities and carries various levels of insurance, the Company could be affected by civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims or proceedings.

(d) Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined by the first-in, first-out method, and consist of the following:

	June 30, 2010		December 31, 2009
Finished goods	$	47,636	$	41,805
Work-in-process		5,431		6,654
Raw materials and supplies		12,243		9,227

(In thousands, except per common share amounts)

(e) Accrued Sales Returns—The Company allows product returns up to 120 days following a sale through certain sales channels and on certain products. Estimated sales returns are provided at the time of sale based on historical sales channel return rates. The level of sales returns differs by channel with the Direct channel typically experiencing the highest rate of return. Estimated future obligations related to these products are provided by a reduction of sales in the period in which the revenue is recognized. Accrued sales returns are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company had the following activity for sales returns from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010:

Balance as of December 31, 2009	$	4,233
Amounts accrued		22,758
Returns charged to accrual		(21,994	)
Balance as of June 30, 2010	$	4,997

(f) Warranties—The Company provides a 20-year warranty for U.S. sales and a 15-year warranty for non-U.S. sales on mattresses, each prorated for the last 10 years. The Company also provides a 2-year to 3-year warranty on pillows. Estimated future obligations related to these products are charged to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Estimates of warranty expenses are based primarily on historical claim experience and product testing. Warranties are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company had the following activity for warranties from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010:

Balance as of December 31, 2009	$	4,052
Amounts accrued		2,223
Warranties charged to accrual		(2,287	)
Balance as of June 30, 2010	$	3,988

(g) Revenue Recognition—Sales of products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, products are shipped and title passes to customers and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company extends volume discounts to certain customers and reflects these amounts as a reduction of sales. The Company also reports sales net of tax assessed by qualifying governmental authorities. The Company extends credit based on the creditworthiness of its customers. No collateral is required on sales made in the normal course of business.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and current economic conditions and also considers factors such as customer credit, past transaction history with the customer and changes in customer payment terms when determining whether the collection of a receivable is reasonably assured. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts included in Accounts receivable, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $8,221 and $9,030 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

On April 1, 2010, the Company acquired its third party distributor in Canada. The total amount of cash paid for the acquisition was approximately $18,692. Additional payments may be made to the former owners if certain financial targets are met, the present value of these payments as of the acquisition date was $6,241. Accordingly, the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $24,933. We estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model, which represents Level 3 fair value measure under U.S. GAAP.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of finalizing its purchase price allocation and accordingly, fair value estimates may change as valuations and assessments are completed.

Intangible assets		7,529
Goodwill		18,822

The domestic credit facility is a five-year, $615,000 revolving credit facility (Domestic Revolver). The foreign credit facility is a five-year $25,000 revolving credit facility (Foreign Revolver). The Revolvers provide for the issuance of letters of credit which, when issued, constitute usage and reduce availability under the Revolvers. The aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding under the Revolvers was $11,827 at June 30, 2010. After giving effect to letters of credit and $435,000 in borrowings under the Revolvers, total availability under the Revolvers was $193,173 as of June 30, 2010.

The 2005 Senior Credit Facility is guaranteed by Tempur-Pedic International, as well as certain other subsidiaries of Tempur-Pedic International, and is secured by certain fixed and intangible assets of Dan-Foam ApS and substantially all the Company’s U.S. assets. The 2005 Senior Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants and requirements affecting the Company, including a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2010.

In May 2008, the Company entered into a three year interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates associated with the 2005 Senior Credit Facility. Refer to Note 5, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments, including this interest rate swap.

(4) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimates fair value of its financial instruments utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:

·	Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·	Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

·	Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. At June 30, 2010, the Company had an interest rate swap and foreign currency forward contracts recorded at fair value. The fair values of these instruments were measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. The following table provides a summary by level of the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis:

			Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2010 Using:
	June 30, 2010		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities:
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	31	$	—	$	31	$	—
Interest rate swap	$	4,142	$	—	$	4,142	$	—

			Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2009 Using:
	December 31, 2009		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities:
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	438	$	—	$	438	$	—
Interest rate swap	$	6,865	$	—	$	6,865	$	—

The carrying value of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable and Accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Borrowings under the 2005 Senior Credit Facility (as defined in Note 3(b)) are at variable interest rates and accordingly their carrying amounts approximate fair value.

(5) Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks related to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses various derivative contracts, primarily interest rate swaps and foreign currency exchange forward contracts, to manage risks from these market fluctuations. The financial instruments used by the Company are straight-forward, non-leveraged instruments. The counterparties to these financial instruments are financial institutions with strong credit ratings. The Company maintains control over the size of positions entered into with any one counterparty and regularly monitors the credit ratings of these institutions.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates on its 2005 Senior Credit Facility. In order to manage this risk, in May 2008, the Company entered into a three year interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The Company designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of floating rate borrowings and expects the hedge to be highly effective in offsetting fluctuations in the designated interest payments resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate. The gains and losses on the designated swap agreement will offset losses and gains on the transactions being hedged. The Company formally documented the effectiveness of this qualifying hedge instrument (both at the inception of the swap and on an ongoing basis) in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged transaction. The fair value of the interest rate swap is calculated as described in Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements” taking into consideration current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties or the Company, as applicable.

As a result of this swap, the Company pays at a fixed rate and receives payment at a variable rate. The swap effectively fixed the floating LIBOR-based interest rate to 3.755% on $350,000 of the outstanding balance under the 2005 Senior Credit Facility, with the outstanding balance subject to the swap declining over time. The amount of the outstanding balance subject to the swap amortizes as follows: to $300,000 on November 28, 2008 (through November, 2009); to $200,000 on November 28, 2009 (through November, 2010); and to $100,000 on November 28, 2010 (through November 28, 2011). The Company will select the LIBOR-based rate on the hedged portion of the 2005 Senior Credit Facility during the term of the swap. The effective portion of the change in value of the swap is reflected as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss (OCL) and recognized as Interest expense, net as payments are paid or accrued. The remaining gain or loss in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of the future cash flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion) or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized as Interest expense, net during the current period.

As of June 30, 2010 the total notional amount of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement is $200,000. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify $4,142 of deferred losses on derivative instruments from Accumulated OCL to earnings due to the payment of variable interest associated with the 2005 Senior Credit Facility.

Foreign Currency Exposures

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily related to intercompany debt and associated interest payments. To manage the risk associated with fluctuations in foreign currencies, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts. The Company does not designate any of these foreign currency forward contracts as hedging instruments, however, the Company considers the contracts as economic hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments affect earnings during the current period. These foreign currency forward contracts protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from payments in foreign currencies. The fair value of foreign currency agreements are estimated as described in Note 4, “Fair Value Measurements” taking into consideration foreign currency rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties or the Company, as applicable.

(8) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company currently has three stock-based compensation plans: the 2002 Option Plan (2002 Plan), the Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2003 Plan) and the 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which are described under the caption “Stock-based Compensation” in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Effective February 1, 2010, the Company suspended offerings under the ESPP indefinitely.

In the first quarter of 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the terms of a Long-Term Incentive Program (LTIP), established under the 2003 Plan. For 2010, the LTIP awards consist of a mix of stock options and performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs). Shares with respect to the PRSUs will be granted and vest following the end of the applicable performance period and achievement of applicable performance metrics as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Company granted PRSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The maximum number of shares to be awarded under the PRSUs granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 will be 12 and 418 shares, respectively, and will vest, if earned, at the end of the three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2012. Actual payout under the PRSUs granted in 2010 is dependent upon the achievement of certain financial goals, based on Net sales and Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) margin targets. The Company recognized compensation expense of $356 and $463 associated with the 2010 PRSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Based on current estimates of the performance metrics, unrecognized compensation expense with respect to the PRSUs was $3,419, as of June 30, 2010, which is expected to be recorded over the weighted average remaining life of 2.51 years. No PRSUs were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company granted options to purchase 33 and 162 shares of common stock during the three and six months ending June 30, 2010. The Company recognized compensation expense of $221 and $280 associated with the 2010 grants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company granted new options to purchase 278 and 1,694 shares of common stock during the three and six months ending June 30, 2009, respectively. The Company recognized compensation expense of $406 and $477 associated with the 2009 grants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, there was $1,910 of unrecognized compensation expense associated with the options granted in 2010, which is expected to be recorded over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.42 years. The options granted in the three months ended June 30, 2010 had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $15.31 per option, as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

The Company granted 12 and 188 awards during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 that consisted of restricted stock units (RSUs) and deferred stock units (DSUs). The Company recognized compensation expense of $504 and $643 associated with the 2010 RSUs and DSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, there was $4,618 of unrecognized compensation expense associated with the RSUs and DSUs granted in 2010, which is expected to be recorded over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.4 years. No RSUs or DSUs were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company recorded $2,928 and $2,190 of total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The Company recorded $5,339 and $4,093 of total stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Purchase Commitments—The Company will, from time to time, enter into limited purchase commitments for the purchase of certain raw materials. Amounts committed under these programs were not significant as of June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

(b) Antitrust Action—On January 5, 2007, a purported class action was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Rome Division (Jacobs v. Tempur-Pedic International, Inc. and Tempur-Pedic North America, Inc., or the Antitrust Action). The Antitrust Action alleges violations of federal antitrust law arising from the pricing of Tempur-Pedic mattress products by Tempur-Pedic North America and certain distributors. The action alleges a class of all purchasers of Tempur-Pedic mattresses in the United States since January 5, 2003, and seeks damages and injunctive relief. Count Two of the complaint was dismissed by the court on June 25, 2007, based on a motion filed by the Company. Following a decision issued by the United States Supreme Court in Leegin Creative Leather Prods., Inc. v. PSKS, Inc. on June 28, 2007, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the remaining two counts of the Antitrust Action on July 10, 2007. On December 11, 2007, that motion was granted and, as a result, judgment was entered in favor of the Company and the plaintiffs’ complaint was dismissed with prejudice. On December 21, 2007, the plaintiffs filed a “Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment,” which was fully briefed. On May 1, 2008, that motion was denied. The Jacobs appealed the dismissal of their claims, and the parties argued the appeal before the United States Circuit Court for the Eleventh Circuit on December 11, 2008. The matter has been taken under advisement by the court. The Company continues to strongly believe that the Antitrust Action lacks merit, and intends to defend against the claims vigorously. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of the Antitrust Action at this time, and can give no assurance that these claims will not have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. Accordingly, the Company cannot make an estimate of the possible ranges of loss.

(c) New York Attorney General—In December 2008, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York, Antitrust Bureau (OAG) requested that the Company consider discontinuing its unilateral retail price policy (UPPL) in the State of New York, and informed the Company that it may bring an enforcement action against the Company under New York law if the Company chose not to do so. On March 29, 2010, the Office of the Attorney General filed suit in New York state court against the Company with respect to this matter. The complaint does not charge the Company with any violation of state or federal antitrust law; instead it claims the Company violated a 1975 New York state law which declares certain contractual provisions to be unenforceable. The Company believes that its UPPL complies with state and federal law and intends to vigorously defend it. However, due to the inherent uncertainties of this matter, the Company cannot at this time predict the outcome of the enforcement action and can give no assurance that these claims will not have a material adverse affect on its financial position or results of operation. Accordingly, the Company cannot make an estimate of the possible range of loss.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to the operations of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse affect on its business, financial condition, liquidity or operating results.

(10) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was 33.0% and 32.5% respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was 32.7% and 35.2% respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% principally because of certain foreign tax rate differentials, state and local income taxes, foreign income currently taxable in the U.S., the production activities deduction and certain other permanent differences.

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and/or state income and foreign withholding taxes on $179,600 of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. operations as of June 30, 2010 because Tempur-Pedic International intends to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside of the United States. If these earnings were to be distributed, foreign tax credits may become available under current law to reduce the resulting U.S. income tax liability.

On October 24, 2007, the Company received an income tax assessment from the Danish Tax Authority with respect to the 2001, 2002 and 2003 tax years and an assessment with respect to the 2004 tax year on April 29, 2010. The tax assessments relate to the royalty paid by one of Tempur-Pedic International’s U.S. subsidiaries to a Danish subsidiary and the position taken by the Danish Tax Authority could apply to subsequent years. The total tax assessment is approximately $69,300 including interest and penalties. On January 23, 2008 and May 26, 2010, the Company filed timely complaints with the Danish National Tax Tribunal denying the tax assessments. The National Tax Tribunal formally agreed to place the Danish tax litigation on hold pending the outcome of a Bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (Bilateral APA) between the United States and the Danish Tax Authority. A Bilateral APA involves an agreement between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the taxpayer, as well as a negotiated agreement with one or more foreign competent authorities under applicable income tax treaties. On August 8, 2008 the Company filed the Bilateral APA with the IRS and the Danish Tax Authority. The IRS began analyzing the Bilateral APA in the first quarter of 2009 and expects to finalize its position during 2010. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the proposed adjustment and will oppose the assessment in the Danish courts, as necessary. It is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change in the next twelve months. An estimate of the amount of such change cannot be made at this time.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities in the U.S. for periods prior to 2006, U.S. state and local municipalities for periods prior to 2004, and in non-U.S. jurisdictions for periods prior to 2001. Additionally, the Company is currently under examination by various tax authorities around the world. The Company anticipates it is reasonably possible an increase or decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could be made in the next twelve months as a result of the statute of limitations expiring and/or the examinations being concluded on these returns. However, the Company does not presently anticipate that any increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits will be material to the consolidated financial statements.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased by $609 primarily related to interest on previously recorded liabilities.

(12) Business Segment Information

The Company operates in two business segments: North America and International. These reportable segments are strategic business units that are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.

ITEM 2.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this Form 10-Q. Unless otherwise noted, all of the financial information in this report is condensed consolidated information for Tempur-Pedic International Inc. or its predecessor. The forward-looking statements in this discussion regarding the mattress and pillow industries, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements in this discussion include numerous risks and uncertainties, as described under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained herein.

In this discussion and analysis, the Company discusses and explains the financial condition and results of operations for Tempur-Pedic International Inc. for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 that includes the following points:

·	An overview of our business and strategy;

·	Our Net sales and costs in the periods presented as well as changes between periods;

·	Discussion of new initiatives that may affect our future results of operations and financial condition;

·	Expected future expenditures for capital projects and sources of liquidity for future operations; and

·	The effect of the foregoing on our overall financial performance and condition, as well as factors that could affect our future performance.

Executive Overview

General—We are the leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of premium mattresses and pillows which we sell in approximately 80 countries under the TEMPUR® and Tempur-Pedic® brands. We believe our premium mattresses and pillows are more comfortable than standard bedding products because our proprietary pressure-relieving TEMPUR® material is temperature sensitive, has a high density and therapeutically conforms to the body.

We sell our premium mattresses and pillows through four distribution channels in each operating business segment: Retail (furniture and bedding, specialty and department stores); Direct (direct response and internet); Healthcare (chiropractors, medical retailers, hospitals and other healthcare markets); and Third party distributors in countries where we do not sell directly through our own subsidiaries.

Business Segment Information—We have two reportable business segments: North America and International. These reportable segments are strategic business units that are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their geographies. The North American operating segment consists of two U.S. manufacturing facilities and our North American distribution subsidiaries. The International segment consists of our manufacturing facility in Denmark, whose customers include all of our distribution subsidiaries and third party distributors outside the North American operating segment. We evaluate segment performance based on Net sales and Operating income.

On April 1, 2010, we purchased our third party distributor in Canada. Accordingly, net sales in the Canadian market are reported in the appropriate channels within the North American segment. As Canada represented essentially all sales through the North American third party channel, we will no longer be reporting third party sales in this segment.

Strategy and Outlook

Our goal is to become the world’s favorite mattress and pillow brand. In order to achieve this long-term goal while managing through the current economic environment, we expect to continue to pursue the key strategic goals using the related goals using the related strategies discussed below.

·	Make sure there is a Tempur-Pedic bed and pillow that appeals to everyone – we plan to continue to maintain our focus on premium mattresses and pillows and regularly introducing new products.

·	Make sure that Tempur-Pedic is available to everyone – we plan to expand our points of distribution and the effectiveness of our distribution channels.

Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $263.0 million from $185.2 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $77.9 million, or 42.1%. During the second quarter of 2010, we experienced a significant improvement in Net sales. We believe our revenues are gaining momentum primarily as a result of investments made in marketing, research and development and product introductions. We were well positioned to make these investments because we maintained our financial flexibility during the economic downturn. In 2009 our industry was adversely affected by an unstable macroeconomic environment which had an adverse impact on our Net sales, however, at the end of 2009 and into 2010 we have experienced signs of improvement. Consolidated Mattress sales increased $54.3 million, or 43.7% compared to the second quarter of 2009. The increase in Mattress sales occurred primarily in our Retail channel, with Net sales increasing to $227.2 million from $155.6 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $71.6 million, or 46.0%. Consolidated Pillow sales increased approximately $3.9 million, or 16.3%, from the second quarter of 2009. Consolidated Other, which includes adjustable bed bases, foundations and other related products, increased $19.7 million, or 53.4%. Many of our Pillows and Other products are sold with mattress purchases. Therefore, when Mattress sales increase, Pillows and Other products are also impacted. The principal factors that impacted Net sales for each segment are discussed below, in the respective segment discussion.

North America. North American Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $192.2 million from $120.7 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $71.5 million, or 59.2%. Our North American Retail channel contributed $173.2 million in Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 for an increase of $67.6 million, or 64.0%, compared to the same period in 2009. The introduction of our new product line, the TEMPUR-CloudTM collection, in the third quarter of 2009 has been well received by retailers and consumers. We believe these products appeal to a new consumer segment and has increased our Net sales. Additionally, we have experienced revenue growth in our pre-existing product line in the second quarter of 2010. North American mattress sales in the second quarter of 2010 increased $50.4 million, or 58.4%, over the same period in 2009, driven by an increase in our Retail channel. Net sales in the Direct channel increased by $6.8 million, or 71.9%. We believe increased sales in the Direct channel are a result of our focus on generating internet leads and investing in internet and direct mail advertising. Pillow sales increased $3.0 million, or 27.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Other Net sales increased $18.1 million, or 77.1%, compared to the same period in 2009. Many of our Pillows and Other products are sold with mattress purchases. Therefore, when Mattress sales increase, Pillows and Other products are also impacted. Additionally, we have emphasized improved attach rates on adjustable bed bases which are sold at a higher price point than traditional foundations.

International. International Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $70.8 million from $64.4 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $6.4 million, or 9.9%. On a constant currency basis, our International Net sales increased approximately 14.4%. We have experienced some stabilization of the global economic slowdown in our international markets, which also impacted Net sales in the second quarter of 2009. The International Retail channel increased $4.0 million, or 8.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Third party Net sales increased $2.4 million or 31.6%. Our introduction of the Sensation mattress line in the International segment has continued to be well accepted by retailers and consumers. As a result, International Mattress sales in the second quarter of 2010 increased $3.9 million, or 10.2%, over the second quarter of 2009. Pillow sales for the second quarter of 2010 increased $0.9 million, or 6.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Other Net sales increased $1.6 million, or 12.0%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Many of our Pillows and Other products are sold with mattress purchases. Therefore, when Mattress sales increase, Pillows and Other products are also impacted.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $128.0 million from $86.3 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $41.7 million, or 48.3%. The Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 48.7% as compared to 46.6% for the same period in 2009. The principal factors that impacted Gross profit margin during the quarter are identified and discussed below in the respective segment discussions. Additionally, Gross profit margin is impacted by geographic mix between segments.

North America. North American Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $88.0 million, an improvement of $37.5 million, or 74.2%. The Gross profit margin in our North American segment was 45.8% and 41.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. Improvements in our North American Gross profit margin were primarily driven by fixed cost leverage related to higher production volumes and improved efficiencies in manufacturing. These factors were partially offset by new product introductions and higher commodity costs. Additionally, the North American segment pays a royalty to our International segment based on its production volume, which has the effect of lowering the segment's reported Gross profit margin. North American Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $104.3 million from $70.3 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $34.0 million, or 48.4%.

International. International Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $40.1 million, an improvement of $4.2 million, or 11.8%. The Gross profit margin in our International segment was 56.6% and 55.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. Improvements in our International Gross profit margin were primarily driven by fixed cost leverage related to higher production volumes and improved efficiencies in manufacturing. These factors were partially offset by new product introductions and higher commodity costs. Additionally, the International segment receives a royalty from our North American segment based on their production volume, which has the effect of increasing the segment's reported Gross profit margin. Our International Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $30.7 million from $28.6 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $2.2 million, or 7.6%.

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses include advertising and media production associated with our Direct channel, other marketing materials such as catalogs, brochures, videos, product samples, direct customer mailings and point of purchase materials and sales force compensation. We also include in Selling and marketing expense certain new product development costs, including market research and new product testing. In the second quarter of 2010, Selling and marketing expenses increased to $46.8 million as compared to $35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of Net sales were 17.8% and 19.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. Our objective is to align advertising costs to reflect our sales expectations. During the second quarter of 2010 we continued to make investments in advertising to support future growth. For example, our new marketing and advertising campaign “Ask Me,” which launched in 2009, focuses on increasing awareness of our products and the benefits they offer through word-of-mouth and social networking outlets.

General, administrative and other expenses. General, administrative and other expenses include management compensation, information technology, professional fees, depreciation of furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and computer equipment, expenses for administrative functions and research and development costs. General, administrative and other expenses increased to $27.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $22.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in General, administrative and other expenses are primarily a result of a larger bonus pool in the second quarter of 2010 compared to 2009 and an increase in legal fees incurred in the same period related to the acquisition of our former third party distributor in Canada. The effects of these items have been partially offset by a lower level of bad debt expense in 2010 compared to 2009. Additionally, in 2010 we have increased our investment in research and development in order to improve our existing product lines and continue to introduce new and differentiated products. General, administrative and other expenses as a percentage of Net sales were 10.4% and 11.9% in the second quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, includes the interest costs associated with our borrowings and the amortization of deferred financing costs related to those borrowings. Interest expense, net, decreased to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 15.4%. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in the underlying debt related to our interest rate swap, offset slightly by an increase in debt outstanding not subject to the interest rate swap. As we increase our borrowings, we are subject to variable rate debt that is not protected under the interest rate swap described below. Accordingly, if interest rates increase we may incur a higher level of interest expense. The variable interest rate and certain fees that we pay in connection with the 2005 Senior Credit Facility are subject to periodic adjustment based on changes in our consolidated leverage ratio. In May 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. Under this swap, we pay at a fixed rate and receive payments at a variable rate. The swap effectively fixes the floating London Inter-bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) based interest rate to 3.755% on $200.0 million of the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2010 under the 2005 Senior Credit Facility, with the outstanding balance subject to the swap declining over time. The amount of the outstanding balance subject to the swap amortizes as follows: to $300.0 million on November 28, 2008 (through November 2009); to $200.0 million on November 28, 2009 (through November 28, 2010); and to $100.0 million on November 28, 2010 (through November 28, 2011).

Income tax provision. Income tax provision includes income taxes associated with taxes currently payable and deferred taxes, and it includes the impact of net operating losses for certain of our domestic and foreign operations. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was 33.0% and 32.5% respectively. The difference between the June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 effective tax rate is primarily related to the mix of earnings before taxes between U.S. and International with the U.S. making up a greater percent during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

On October 24, 2007, we received an income tax assessment from the Danish Tax Authority with respect to the 2001, 2002 and 2003 tax years and an assessment with respect to the 2004 tax year on April 29, 2010. The tax assessments relate to the royalty paid by one of Tempur-Pedic International’s U.S. subsidiaries to a Danish subsidiary and the position taken by the Danish Tax Authority could apply to subsequent years. The total tax assessment is approximately $69.3 million including interest and penalties. On January 23, 2008 and May 26, 2010 we filed timely complaints with the Danish National Tax Tribunal denying the tax assessments. The National Tax Tribunal formally agreed to place the Danish tax litigation on hold pending the outcome of a Bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (Bilateral APA) between the United States and the Danish Tax Authority. A Bilateral APA involves an agreement between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the taxpayer, as well as a negotiated agreement with one or more foreign competent authorities under applicable income tax treaties. On August 8, 2008 we filed the Bilateral APA with the IRS and the Danish Tax Authority. The IRS began analyzing the Bilateral APA in the first quarter of 2009 and expects to finalize its position during 2010. We believe we have meritorious defenses to the proposed adjustment and will oppose the assessment in the Danish courts, as necessary.

Net sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $516.9 million from $362.3 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $154.7 million, or 42.7%. During 2010 we have experienced a significant improvement in Net sales. We believe our revenues are gaining momentum primarily as a result of investments made in marketing, research and development and product introductions. We were well positioned to make these investments because we maintained our financial flexibility during the economic downturn. In 2009 our industry was adversely affected by an unstable macroeconomic environment which had an adverse impact on our Net sales, however, at the end of 2009 and into 2010 we have experienced signs of improvement. Consolidated Mattress sales increased $104.2 million, or 42.8% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in Mattress sales occurred primarily in our Retail channel with net sales for the six months increasing to $439.9 million from $306.1 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $133.8 million, or 43.7%. Consolidated Pillow sales increased to $58.7 million from $47.1 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $11.6 million, or 24.7%. Consolidated Other Net sales increased to $110.6 million from $71.7 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $38.8 million or 54.1%. Many of our Pillows and Other products are sold with mattress purchases. Therefore, when Mattress sales increase, Pillows and Other products are also impacted. The principal factors that impacted Net sales for each segment are discussed below, in the respective segment discussion.

North America. North American Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $358.8 million from $227.2 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $131.6 million, or 57.9%. Our North American Retail channel contributed $316.4 million in Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 for an increase of $117.4 million, or 59.0%, compared to the same period in 2009. The introduction of our new product line, the TEMPUR-Cloud™ collection, in the third quarter of 2009 has been well received by retailers and consumers. We believe these products appeal to a new consumer segment and has increased our Net sales. Additionally, we have experienced revenue growth in our pre-existing product line in 2010. In January 2010, we launched the second mattress in this line, the TEMPUR-Cloud™. North American mattress sales increased $92.1 million, or 56.8%, over the same period in 2009, driven by the increase in our Retail channel. Net sales in the Direct channel increased to $30.8 million from $17.9 million during the same period in 2009, an increase of $12.9 million, or 71.8%. We believe increased sales in the Direct channel are a result of our focus on generating internet leads and investing in internet and direct mail advertising. Pillow sales increased $7.3 million, or 35.0%, over the same period in 2009. Other Net sales increased $32.2 million, or 72.7%, compared to the same period in 2009. Many of our Pillows and Other products are sold with mattress purchases. Therefore, when Mattress sales increase, Pillows and Other products are also impacted. Additionally, we have emphasized improved attach rates on adjustable bed bases which are sold at a higher price point than traditional foundations.

International. International Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $158.2 million from $135.1 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $23.1 million, or 17.1%. On a constant currency basis, our International Net sales increased approximately 14.8%. We have experienced some stabilization of the global economic slowdown in our international markets, which also impacted Net sales in 2009. The International Retail channel increased $16.4 million, or 15.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Third party Net sales increased $5.6 million or 40.9%. Our introduction of the Sensation mattress line in the International segment has continued to be well accepted by retailers and consumers. As a result, International mattress sales increased $12.2 million, or 14.9%, as compared to 2009. Pillow sales for 2010 increased $4.3 million, or 16.4%, compared to the same period in 2009. Other product Net sales increased $6.6 million, or 24.1%, as compared to 2009. Many of our Pillows and Other products are sold with mattress purchases. Therefore, when Mattress sales increase, Pillows and Other products are also impacted

Gross profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $252.9 million from $168.2 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $84.7 million, or 50.3%. The Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 48.9% as compared to 46.4% for the same period in 2009. The principal factors that affected Gross profit margin during the year are identified and discussed below, in the respective segment discussion. Additionally, Gross profit margin is impacted by geographic mix between segments.

North America. North American Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $161.9 million from $93.2 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $68.7 million, or 73.6%. The Gross profit margin in our North American segment was 45.1% and 41.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. Improvements in our North American Gross profit margin were primarily driven by fixed cost leverage related to higher production volumes and improved efficiencies in manufacturing. These factors were partially offset by new product introductions and higher commodity costs. Additionally, the North American segment pays a royalty to our International segment based on its production volume, which has the effect of lowering the segment's reported Gross profit margin. Our North American cost of sales increased to $196.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $133.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $62.9 million, or 47.0%.

International. International Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $90.9 million from $74.9 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $16.0 million, or 21.3%. The Gross profit margin in our International segment was 57.5% and 55.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, improvements in our International Gross profit margin were primarily driven by fixed cost leverage related to higher production volumes and improved efficiencies in manufacturing. These factors were partially offset by new product introductions and higher commodity costs. Additionally, the International segment receives a royalty from our North American segment based on their production volume, which has the effect of increasing the segment's reported Gross profit margin. Our International Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $67.2 million from $60.2 million for the same period in 2009, an increase of $7.1 million, or 11.7%.

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased to $93.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $69.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of Net sales decreased to 18.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from 19.1% for the same period for 2009. During 2010 we have continued to make investments in advertising to support future growth. For example, our new marketing and advertising campaign “Ask Me,” which launched in 2009, focuses on increasing awareness of our products and the benefits they offer through word-of-mouth and social networking outlets.

General, administrative and other expenses. General, administrative and other expenses increased to $53.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $44.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $9.6 million, or 21.7%. The increase in General, administrative and other expenses are primarily a result of a larger bonus pool in 2010 compared to 2009 and an increase in legal fees incurred in the same period related to the acquisition of our former third party distributor in Canada. The effects of these items have been partially offset by a lower level of bad debt expense in 2010 compared to 2009. Additionally, in 2010 we have increased our investment in research and development in order to improve our existing product lines and continue to introduce new and differentiated products. General, administrative and other expenses as a percentage of Net sales was 10.4% and 12.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, decreased to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 22.9%. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in the underlying debt related to our interest rate swap, offset slightly by an increase in debt outstanding not subject to the interest rate swap. As we increase our borrowings, we are subject to variable rate debt that is not protected under the interest rate swap described below. Accordingly, if interest rates increase we may incur a higher level of interest expense. The variable interest rate and certain fees that we pay in connection with the 2005 Senior Credit Facility are subject to periodic adjustment based on changes in our consolidated leverage ratio. In May 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. Under this swap, we pay at a fixed rate and receive payments at a variable rate. The swap effectively fixes the floating London Inter-bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) based interest rate to 3.755% on $200.0 million of the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2010 under the 2005 Senior Credit Facility, with the outstanding balance subject to the swap declining over time. The amount of the outstanding balance subject to the swap amortizes as follows: to $300.0 million on November 28, 2008 (through November 2009); to $200.0 million on November 28, 2009 (through November 28, 2010); and to $100.0 million on November 28, 2010 (through November 28, 2011).

Income tax provision. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 32.7%. For the same period in 2009, the effective tax rate was 35.2%. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the tax charge on a previously recognized foreign tax benefit taken in the first quarter of 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations and borrowings made pursuant to our credit facility. Principal uses of funds consist of share repurchases made from time to time pursuant to share repurchase authorizations, acquisition of certain former third party distributors, payments of principal and interest on our debt facilities and capital expenditures. At June 30, 2010, we had working capital of $84.9 million including Cash and cash equivalents of $15.4 million compared to working capital of $72.5 million including $14.0 million in Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009. Working capital increased in the second quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of increased levels of both Accounts receivable and Inventory, slightly offset by an increase in Income taxes payable.

Our cash flow from operations increased to $67.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $65.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily driven by Net income growth, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increases in Accounts receivable, Inventories and Income taxes payable are related to increased sales.

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily related to the acquisition of our former third party distributor in Canada and an increase in capital expenditures. In 2010 we are investing in capital projects that we believe will create operational efficiencies and support future growth.

Cash flow used by financing activities was $38.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $49.2 million used for the six months ended June 30, 2009, representing a decrease in cash flow used of $10.3 million, primarily related to an increase in current borrowings under our credit facility. These borrowings were utilized to complete $200.0 million in share repurchases of our common stock. Additionally, we received $19.5 million in proceeds from stock option exercises during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to no proceeds for the same period in 2009.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We currently expect our 2010 capital expenditures to range from $20.0 to $22.0 million. This expected increase in capital expenditures in 2010 is attributable to projects that we believe will create operational efficiencies and support future growth.

Debt Service

Our Long-term debt increased to $435.0 million as of June 30, 2010 from $297.5 million as of December 31, 2009 due primarily to our share repurchase program. After giving effect to $435.0 million in borrowings under the 2005 Senior Credit Facility and letters of credit outstanding, total availability under the Revolvers was $193.2 million as of June 30, 2010.

As of June 30, 2010, we are in compliance with our debt covenants. The table below sets forth the calculation of our compliance with the Funded debt to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) covenant. Both Funded debt and Adjusted EBITDA are terms that are not recognized under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to Net income as a measure of operating performance or Total debt.

In accordance with our 2005 Senior Credit Facility, this amount is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of calculating compliance with the ratio of Funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA.

Reconciliation of Total debt to Funded debt

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company’s reported Total debt to the calculation of Funded debt and Funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio as of June 30, 2010:

	As of

Funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA	1.88 times

The ratio of Funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.88 times, within the covenant in the 2005 Senior Credit Facility, which requires this ratio not exceed 3.0 times.

The interest rate and certain fees that we pay in connection with the 2005 Senior Credit Facility are subject to periodic adjustment based on changes in our consolidated leverage ratio. In May 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. Under this swap, we pay at a fixed rate and receive payments at a variable rate. The swap effectively fixes the floating LIBOR-based interest rate to 3.755% on $200.0 million of the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2010 under the 2005 Senior Credit Facility, with the outstanding balance subject to the swap declining over time. The amount of the outstanding balance subject to the swap declines as follows: to $300.0 million on November 28, 2008 (through November, 2009); to $200.0 million on November 28, 2009 (through November, 2010) and to $100.0 million on November 28, 2010 (through November 28, 2011).

Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Program—On October 16, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase authorization of up to $300.0 million of our common stock. On January 13, 2010 our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of our common stock which replaced the October 2007 authorization. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we repurchased 3.7 million shares of our common stock for $100.0 million and completed the January 2010 authorization. On April 15, 2010 our Board of Directors approved an additional authorization to purchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 we repurchased 3.0 million shares of our common stock for $100.0 million and completed the April 2010 authorization. Share repurchases under authorizations may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchase or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as management and a committee of the Board deem appropriate.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We provide information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Funded debt which are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to Net income as a measure of operating performance or Total debt. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of our Net income to Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Total debt to Funded debt have been provided in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis and we believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional useful information with respect to our 2005 Senior Credit Facility.

Factors That May Affect Future Performance

General Business and Economic Conditions—Our business has been affected by general business and economic conditions, and these conditions could have an impact on future demand for our products. The U.S. macroeconomic environment was challenging in 2009 and was the primary factor in a slowdown in the mattress industry. In addition, our International segment experienced weakening as a result of general business and economic conditions in several European and Asian markets. We expect the economic environment in the U.S. and internationally to continue to be challenging.

In light of the macroeconomic environment, we took steps to further align our cost structure with our anticipated level of Net sales. During the remainder of 2010, we expect to continue to pursue certain key strategies including: maintaining focus on premium mattresses and pillows and regularly introducing new products; investing in increasing our global brand awareness; extending our presence and improving our Retail account productivity; investing in our operating infrastructure to meet the requirements of our business; and taking actions to further strengthen our business.

Managing Growth—Over the last few years, we have had to manage our business both through periods of rapid growth and the current recovering economic environment. Our Net sales increased from $221.5 million in 2001 to $1,106.7 million in 2007 and decreased to $927.8 million in 2008 and $831.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our Net sales were $516.9 million. In the past, our growth has placed, and may continue to place, a strain on our management, production, product distribution network, information systems and other resources. In response to these types of challenges, management has continued to enhance operating and financial infrastructure, as appropriate. In addition, during 2007 through 2009, we had to manage a decline in sales as a result of the macroeconomic environment. During this period, we had to manage our cost structure to contain costs. Going forward, we expect our expenditures to enhance our operating and financial infrastructure, as well as expenditures for advertising and other marketing-related activities, will continue to be made as the continued growth in the business allows us the ability to invest. However, these expenditures may be limited by lower than planned sales or an inflationary cost environment.

Gross Margins—Our gross margin is primarily impacted by the cost of raw materials, operational efficiency, product, channel and geographic mix and volume incentives offered to certain retail accounts. At the end of 2009 and into 2010 we experienced increases in our raw material pricing. Future increases in raw material prices could have a negative impact on our gross margin if we do not raise prices to cover increased cost. Our gross margin can also be impacted by our operational efficiencies, including the particular levels of utilization at our three manufacturing facilities. We have made significant investments in our manufacturing infrastructure and have significant available manufacturing capacity. If we increase our Net sales significantly the effect of this operating leverage could have a significant positive impact on our gross margin. Our margins are also impacted by the growth in our Retail channel as sales in our Retail channel are at wholesale prices whereas sales in our Direct channel are at retail prices. Additionally, our overall product mix has shifted to mattresses and other products over the last several years, which has impacted our gross margins because mattresses generally carry lower margins than pillows and are sold with lower margin products such as foundations and bed frames. We expect our gross margins to be up for the full year 2010 through sales leverage, our productivity programs and selective price increases.

Competition—Participants in the mattress and pillow industries compete primarily on price, quality, brand name recognition, product availability and product performance. We compete with a number of different types of mattress alternatives, including standard innerspring mattresses, other foam mattresses, waterbeds, futons, air beds and other air-supported mattresses. These alternative products are sold through a variety of channels, including furniture and bedding stores, specialty bedding stores, department stores, mass merchants, wholesale clubs, telemarketing programs, television infomercials and catalogs.

Our largest competitors have significant marketing and manufacturing resources and strong brand name recognition and sell their products through broad and well established distribution channels. Additionally, we believe that a number of our significant competitors offer mattress products claimed to be similar to our TEMPUR® mattresses and pillows. We provide strong channel profits to our retailers and distributors which management believes will continue to provide an attractive business model for our retailers and discourage them from carrying competing lower-priced products.

Table of Contents

Significant Growth Opportunities—We believe there are significant opportunities to take market share from the innerspring mattress industry as well as other sleep surfaces. Our market share of the overall mattress industry is relatively small in terms of both dollars and units, which we believe provides us with a significant opportunity for growth. By broadening our brand awareness and offering superior sleep surfaces, we believe consumers will over time adopt our products at an increasing rate, which should expand our market share. However, our business may be affected by general business and economic conditions that could have an impact on demand for our products. Additionally, by expanding distribution within our existing accounts, we believe we have the opportunity to grow our business. By extending our product line and our new segmentation of products, we should be able to continue to expand the number of Tempur-Pedic models offered at the retail store level, which should lead to increased sales. Based on this strategy we believe a focus on expanding distribution within our existing accounts provides for continued growth opportunities and market share gains. However, our business may continue to be affected by general business and economic conditions that could have an impact on demand for our products, which could limit our market share and decrease sales. Our products are currently sold in approximately 6,900 furniture and bedding retail stores in the North American segment, out of a total of approximately 11,500 stores we have identified as appropriate targets. Within this addressable market, our plan is to increase our total penetration to a total of 8,000 to 9,000 over time. Our products are also sold in approximately 5,150 furniture retail and department stores in the International segment, out of a total of approximately 7,000 stores that we have identified as appropriate targets. We are continuing to develop products that are responsive to consumer demand in our markets internationally.

Financial Leverage—As of June 30, 2010, we had $435.0 million of total Long-term debt outstanding, and our Equity attributable to common stockholders was $54.0 million. Higher financial leverage makes us more vulnerable to general adverse competitive, economic and industry conditions. Since December 31, 2007, we have reduced our total debt outstanding by $167.0 million. Our repatriation of foreign earnings in 2008 and 2009, suspension of our quarterly cash dividend and modest debt rebalancing between our North American and International segments, together with productivity improvements and cost containment initiatives enabled us to decrease our financial leverage and increase our financial flexibility. During the first six months of 2010, we increased our total debt by $137.5 million; however our improved financial performance over this period has mitigated the impact of this increased debt on our leverage ratios. We currently are targeting a Funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio between 1.5 to 2.0 times although we may exceed this range on a temporary basis or change the target range. There can be no assurance however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our 2005 Senior Credit Facility. In May 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. See “ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk” under Part I of this report.

Exchange Rates—As a multinational company, we conduct our business in a wide variety of currencies and are therefore subject to market risk for changes in foreign exchange rates. We use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage a portion of the risk of the eventual net cash inflows and outflows resulting from foreign currency denominated transactions between Tempur-Pedic subsidiaries and their customers and suppliers, as well as between the Tempur-Pedic subsidiaries themselves. These hedging transactions may not succeed in effectively managing our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We typically do not apply hedge accounting to these contracts. See “ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Foreign Currency Exposures” under Part I of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates in 2010.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exposures

As a multinational company, we conduct our business in a wide variety of currencies and are therefore subject to market risk for changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the U.S. dollar value of sales made and costs incurred in foreign currencies. We do not enter into hedging transactions to hedge this risk. Consequently, our reported earnings and financial position could fluctuate materially as a result of foreign exchange movements. Should currency rates change sharply, our results could be negatively impacted.

We protect a portion of our currency exchange exposure with foreign currency forward contracts. A sensitivity analysis indicates the potential change in fair value on foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2010, resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, is approximately $0.01 million. Such changes would be largely offset by gains or losses from the revaluation or settlement of the underlying assets and liabilities that are being protected by the foreign currency forward contracts.

Table of Contents

We do not apply hedge accounting to the foreign currency forward contracts used to offset currency-related changes in the fair value of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. These contracts are marked-to-market through earnings at the same time that the exposed assets and liabilities are remeasured through earnings.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates. Our 2005 Senior Credit Facility has a variable rate. In May 2008, we entered into a three year interest rate swap agreement to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. Under this swap, we pay at a fixed rate and receive payments at a variable rate. The swap effectively fixes the floating LIBOR-based interest rate to 3.755% on $350.0 million of the outstanding balance under the 2005 Senior Credit Facility, with the outstanding balance subject to the swap declining over time. The amount of the outstanding balance subject to the swap declines as follows: to $300.0 million on November 28, 2008 (through November, 2009); to $200.0 million on November 28, 2009 (through November, 2010) and to $100.0 million on November 28, 2010 (through November 28, 2011).

Interest rate changes generally do not affect the market value of such debt, but do impact the amount of our interest payments and therefore, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. On June 30, 2010, we had variable-rate debt of approximately $235.0 million. Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one hundred basis point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would cause an estimated reduction in income before income taxes for the next year of approximately $2.4 million.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010 and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During our last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 9 to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in ITEM 1 under Part I of this report for a description of our legal proceedings.

We are involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to the operations of our business. We believe that the outcome of all such pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a materially adverse affect on our business, financial condition, liquidity or operating results.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “ITEM 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are subject to a pending tax proceeding in Denmark, and an adverse decision would reduce our liquidity and profitability.

On October 24, 2007, the Company received an income tax assessment from the Danish Tax Authority with respect to the 2001, 2002 and 2003 tax years and an assessment with respect to the 2004 tax year on April 29, 2010. The tax assessments relate to the royalty paid by one of Tempur-Pedic International’s U.S. subsidiaries to a Danish subsidiary and the position taken by the Danish Tax Authority could apply to subsequent years. The total tax assessment is approximately $69.3 million including interest and penalties. On January 23, 2008 and May 26, 2010 the Company filed timely complaints with the Danish National Tax Tribunal denying the tax assessments. The National Tax Tribunal formally agreed to place the Danish tax litigation on hold pending the outcome of a Bilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (Bilateral APA) between the United States and the Danish Tax Authority. A Bilateral APA involves an agreement between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the taxpayer, as well as a negotiated agreement with one or more foreign competent authorities under applicable income tax treaties. On August 8, 2008 the Company filed the Bilateral APA with the IRS and the Danish Tax Authority. The IRS began analyzing the Bilateral APA in the first quarter of 2009 and expects to finalize its position during 2010. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the proposed adjustment and will oppose the assessment in the Danish courts, as necessary. It is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change in the next twelve months. An estimate of the amount of such change cannot be made at this time.
