                           SELECT COMFORT CORPORATION
                      ANNOUNCES STRONG SECOND QUARTER SALES

         SECOND QUARTER NET SALES INCREASE BY MORE THAN 20% VERSUS 2001;
             SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS TO EXCEED EARLIER EXPECTATIONS

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. (July 8, 2002) - Select Comfort Corporation (NASDAQ: SCSS)
today announced that net sales for the second quarter ended June 29, 2002 were
approximately $77 million, up more than 20 percent from last year's second
quarter net sales of $62.7 million. This performance is above our earlier
expectations and previously provided guidance and is the second consecutive
quarter the company has recorded sales growth in excess of 20 percent. Each of
the company's four distribution channels recorded double-digit sales gains
during the second quarter, including comparable store sales increases of 21
percent.

The company is in the process of finalizing results for the quarter, but expects
to report fully diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.07 to $0.09, based
on approximately 34 million fully diluted shares outstanding, compared with a
loss of $0.19 in the second quarter of last year. Full results for the quarter -
the company's fourth consecutive profitable quarter -- are scheduled for release
after close of business on July 15.

"We are very pleased with the continuation of our robust first quarter sales
trends in this uncertain economic environment, and are ahead of schedule to meet
sales, profit and market share goals for 2002" said Bill McLaughlin, chief
executive officer. "We expect double-digit growth to continue into the second
half of the year, although sales growth rates may moderate as we lap the
year-ago introduction of our new advertising campaign and other growth
initiatives."

The company plans to release full financial results for the second quarter after
the close of business on July 15. Management will conduct a conference call to
discuss second quarter results on Tuesday, July 16, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time.
A simultaneous webcast of the call will
