Ronald McDonald House Receives 106 Sleep Number Beds

MINNEAPOLIS, Mar. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Select Comfort Corporation (Nasdaq: SCSS), the nation's leading bed retailer, is donating 106 SLEEP NUMBER(R) beds plus bedding accessories to the new Ronald McDonald House(R) of Los Angeles. Select Comfort will deliver and set-up the beds on Tuesday, March 4, 2008.

"We are thrilled to receive Select Comfort's generous gift of Sleep Number beds," said Vincent Bryson, executive director of the Ronald McDonald House of Los Angeles. "This generous gift helps us provide much-needed and appreciated comfort to our families during their stay at this home-away-from-home."

Good Support for Better Sleep

Each year, thousands of families stay at Ronald McDonald Houses while their children receive medical treatment at nearby hospitals. These family members frequently experience stress and anxiety that can disrupt sleep schedules, cause insomnia and provoke a greater occurrence of daytime sleepiness. It is during these stressful times that restorative sleep is needed most for recovery and healing.

In 2001, Select Comfort was named the "Official Bed Provider" for Ronald McDonald House Charities(R) with an initial donation of 146 Sleep Number(R) beds -- one for each Ronald McDonald House in the United States. To date, the company has donated more than 5,000 Sleep Number beds to Ronald McDonald Houses across North America.

"Watching a child struggle with a serious illness is difficult and exhausting, to say the least. Through our support of Ronald McDonald Houses, we hope to help families with sick children get a better night's sleep so they have the energy they need during the day to be strong and supportive
