Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Reporting Persons hereby add the following disclosure to this Item 3:

On August 11, 2003, F&M exercised a warrant to purchase 65,043 shares of Select Comfort’s Common Stock.  Instead of paying the $208,788.03 exercise price for the warrant in cash, F&M exercised the warrant on a net exercise basis resulting in the issuance of 55,058 shares of Select Comfort Common Stock to F&M upon the full exercise of the warrant.  No cash payment was made by F&M to Select Comfort for the exercise of the warrant.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons hereby add the following disclosure to this Item 4:

On August 7, 2003, St. Paul Venture Capital IV, LLC (“SPVC IV”), St. Paul Venture Capital V, LLC (“SPVC V”), St. Paul Venture Capital VI, LLC (“SPVC VI”), St. Paul Venture Capital Affiliates Fund I, LLC (“SPVC Affiliates”) and F&M (collectively, the “St. Paul Selling Shareholders”) completed the sale of 2,458,000 shares of Select Comfort’s Common Stock at a price of $18.00 per share in a broker’s transaction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The sale resulted in aggregate proceeds of $44,244,000.00 to the St. Paul Selling Shareholders.

See Item 3. entitled “Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration” above for a description of the transactions being reported in the Amendment No. 10.

The Reporting Persons or their affiliates may from time to time purchase shares of Common Stock, either in brokerage transactions, in the over-the-counter market or in privately negotiated transactions.  Any decision to increase their holdings in Select Comfort will depend, however, on numerous factors, including without limitation the price of the shares of Common Stock, the terms and conditions relating to their purchase and sale and the prospects and profitability of Select Comfort, and general economic conditions and stock and money market conditions.  At any time, the Reporting Persons may also determine to dispose of some or all of the Common Stock, depending on various similar considerations.

Except as otherwise provided in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
