The Company expects to provide full year financial guidance during the

The Company expects to:
Launch new Tempur‐Pedic and Sealy Hybrid products in North

Institute price increases on Tempur‐Pedic, Sealy, and Stearns &
Foster products in North America to offset the majority of an
expected $30 million headwind to EBITDA from commodity cost
inflation
Expand its omnichannel strategy to optimize worldwide
distribution
Grow adjusted EBITDA in 2018
12
Growing Revenues in North America
What gives us confidence to recapture:
Premier portfolio of branded beds
Over 94% of Tempur‐Pedic owners would recommend the product(9)
Sealy has one of the highest brand awareness of any US mattress brand(9)
Stearns & Foster had strong growth in 2016 & 2017
Strong network of retail partners throughout North America
Innovative, high quality product offerings
Key Recapture Methods:
• Expand with current retailers, which represent 70% of our North America sales
• Significantly increased investment in direct advertising
• Innovative new product offerings to drive interest with retailers and consumers
• Launching an entirely new Tempur‐Pedic line in North America in 2018

Tempur Sealy’s Variable Cost Structure(2)
Current plan is to maintain cost structure to support recapturing the majority of lost sales with
the expectation of lower operating efficiencies in the short term
Tempur Sealy’s total cost structure is highly variable; approximately 75% in total
Tempur Sealy cost structure can be quickly aligned with sales

Aspirational Plan(12)
On August 7, 2017, the Company implemented a new Aspirational Program in the form of performance
restricted stock units tied to challenging performance targets. This Aspirational Program builds on the
challenging goals and the structure established in our original Aspirational Program adopted in 2015, with
slightly revised performance goals and new performance periods, as we align the management team around
our new aspirational targets following the termination with our largest customer
• Performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) for approximately $1.5 million shares of the Company’s
common stock have been granted to over 150 employees.
• PRSUs will vest based on adjusted EBITDA performance measured on a rolling 4 quarter basis during two
performance periods ‐‐ 2018 and 2019 (“Period 1”) and 2020 (“Period 2”).
• If the minimum performance target is met for the applicable period, awards become payable shortly
after the applicable Period. If an officer or employee leaves for any reason prior to vesting, all of his or
her PRSUs will be forfeited, subject to certain limited exceptions.

without limitation, statements relating to the Company’s expectations regarding adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditures, depreciation, and amortization, interest expense, tax rate and share count
for 2017 and performance generally for 2017 and subsequent periods, expectations regarding the Company’s plan on 2018 with regret to product launches price increases and expansion of its
omnichannel strategy and the Company’s strategy to recapture market share in the U.S. including expected levels of advertising spending, and expectations regarding the Company’s target
leverage ratio, share repurchase program and the capital allocation strategy and expectations regarding the ability to reduce costs in a reduced sales or recession scenario and expectations
regarding commodity costs in 2018. All forward‐looking statements are based upon current expectations and beliefs and various assumptions. There can be no assurance that the Company will

Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed as forward‐looking statements. These risk factors
include risks associated with the termination of the Company's relationship with Mattress Firm; risks associated with the Company's capital structure and debt level; general economic, financial
and industry conditions, particularly in the retail sector, as well as consumer confidence and the availability of consumer financing; changes in product and channel mix and the impact on the
Company's gross margin; changes in interest rates; the impact of the macroeconomic environment in both the U.S. and internationally on the Company's business segments; uncertainties arising
from global events; the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company's reported earnings; consumer acceptance of the Company's products; industry competition; the efficiency
and effectiveness of the Company's advertising campaigns and other marketing programs; the Company's ability to increase sales productivity within existing retail accounts and to further
penetrate the Company's retail channel, including the timing of opening or expanding within large retail accounts and the timing and success of product launches; the effects of consolidation of
retailers on revenues and costs; changes in demand for the Company's products by significant retailer customers; the Company's ability to expand brand awareness, distribution and new
products; the Company's ability to continuously improve and expand its product line, maintain efficient, timely and cost‐effective production and delivery of its products, and manage its growth;
the effects of strategic investments on the Company's operations; changes in foreign tax rates and changes in tax laws generally, including the ability to utilize tax loss carry forwards; the
outcome of various pending tax audits or other tax, regulatory or investigation proceedings and outstanding litigation; changing commodity costs; the effect of future legislative or regulatory
changes; and disruptions to the implementation of the Company's strategic priorities and business plan caused by abrupt changes in the Company's senior management team and Board of
Directors.
There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those
expressed as forward‐looking statements in this investor presentation, including the risk factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" under ITEM 1A of Part 1 of the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10‐K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There may be other factors that may cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the forward‐looking statements.

from the corresponding GAAP information.
7. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are a non‐GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the "Use of Non‐GAAP Financial Measures and Constant Currency Information"
beginning on slide 20 for more information regarding the definitions of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, including the adjustments from the corresponding GAAP

guidance provided on November 2, 2017. Please refer to “Forward‐Looking Statements” and “Limitations on Guidance” on slide 18. The Company notes that it is
unable to reconcile this forward‐looking non‐GAAP financial measure to GAAP net income, its most directly comparable forward‐looking GAAP financial measure,
without unreasonable efforts, because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that
would be expected to impact GAAP net income in 2017 but would not impact adjusted EBITDA. These items that impact comparability may include restructuring
activities, the impact of the recent termination of contracts with Mattress Firm, foreign currency exchange rates, income taxes, and other items. The unavailable
information could have a significant impact on the Company's full year 2017 GAAP financial results.
8. Based on the Company’s 2017 financial targets provided in the press release dated November 2, 2017 and the related earnings call on November 2, 2017. Please

discontinued at any time without prior notice. Repurchases may be made under a Rule 10b5‐1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the
Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under federal securities laws.

Use of Non‐GAAP Financial Measures and Constant Currency Information
In this investor presentation and certain of its press releases and SEC filings, the Company provides information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and
consolidated funded debt less qualified cash and leverage ratio which are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income and earnings per share
as a measure of operating performance or an alternative to total debt. The Company believes these non‐GAAP measures provide investors with performance measures that better reflect the
Company's underlying operations and trends, including trends in changes in margin and operating expenses, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income and
operating income. The adjustments management makes to derive the non‐GAAP measures include adjustments to exclude items that may cause short‐term fluctuations in the nearest GAAP
measure, but which management does not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of the Company's business, including costs associated with its 2013 acquisition of
Sealy Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Sealy Acquisition”), legal settlements, a senior notes offering in the second quarter of 2016, the exclusion of charges associated with the Mattress
Firm termination in the first quarter of 2017 and other costs.
The Company believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying results from continuing operations and trends, and
management uses these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company's business, to evaluate its consolidated and business segment
performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, to establish operational goals and management incentive goals, and to provide continuity to investors for comparability
purposes. Limitations associated with the use of these non‐GAAP measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in
accordance with GAAP and these non‐GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as more significant than comparable measures defined by
GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For more information
regarding the use of these non‐GAAP financial measures, please refer to the Company’s SEC filings.
Constant Currency Information
In this presentation the Company refers to, and in other communications with investors the Company may refer to, net sales or earnings or other historical financial information on a
"constant currency basis," which is a non‐GAAP financial measure. These references to constant currency basis do not include operational impacts that could result from fluctuations in
foreign currency rates. To provide information on a constant currency basis, the applicable financial results are adjusted based on a simple mathematical model that translates current period
results in local currency using the comparable prior corresponding period's currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries where the functional currency is the local country
currency. This information is provided so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby facilitating period‐to‐period
comparisons of business performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are provided on slide 21. Management believes that the use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides
investors with useful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance and comparisons from period to period.
Leverage
Consolidated funded debt less qualified cash to adjusted EBITDA, which the Company may refer to as leverage, is provided on slide 22 and is calculated by dividing consolidated funded debt
less qualified cash, as defined by the Company’s senior secured credit facility, by adjusted EBITDA. Although not relevant for purposes of assessing compliance with the Company's current
financial covenants, the Company provides this as supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance and comparisons from period to period, as well as
general information about the Company's progress in reducing its leverage.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS
A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP net income to adjusted net income and a calculation of adjusted EPS are provided on slide 23. Management believes that the use of adjusted net
income and adjusted EPS also provides investors with useful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance and comparisons from period to period.
