 PROFILE
Select Comfort has a certain air about it. The firm makes a line of air mattresses, foundations, pillows, and frames. Its mattresses, which sell for up to $2,600, enable users to adjust the firmness to address sleep-related problems, such as lower back pain. Select Comfort sells its products in about 330 locations in 45 states, including its own retail stores (under the banners Select Comfort and Sleep Number Store) and through leased sections in 25 Bed Bath & Beyond stores. The company also sells through direct marketing and a Web site. St. Paul Venture Capital (controlled by Chairman Patrick Hopf) owns about 34% of Select Comfort; Consumer Venture Partners II (controlled by director Christopher Kirchen) owns 11%.
