Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 22, 2007, Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (the “Company”) exercised its option under its Credit Agreement dated as of October 18, 2005, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., Nordea Bank Danmark A/S, Fifth Third Bank, SunTrust Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to increase the domestic revolving credit facility by an additional $50 million. As a result, the maximum amount permitted to be borrowed under the domestic revolving facility is $371 million, and the total commitment under the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to paydowns to date on its term loan, is $434 million. The exercise of this option does not amend any other term of the Credit Agreement.

The Company currently expects that, if it borrows under the increased revolver, the funds would be used for general corporate purposes, which could include funding share repurchases.
