1 Investor Presentation Q3 2014

Forward Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Information This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan, "intend," "believe" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and on our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you consider this presentation, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include the risk factors discussed in the Company s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2014 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 28, 2014, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Because of these factors, we caution that you should not place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this presentation after the date of this presentation. Non-GAAP Financial Measures While the Company reports financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., this presentation includes the non- GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA for the Company which is not in accordance with or a substitute for GAAP measures. Mattress Firm considers Adjusted EBITDA an important supplemental measure of performance and ability to service debt. Adjusted EBITDA is often used to assess performance because it allows comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of various items. Adjusted EBITDA has various limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. For a reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, see Mattress Firm EBITDA Reconciliation in the appendix. Certain of the Non- GAAP financial measures included herein presents prospective financial information. The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation between such financial measures to the most comparable financial measure or measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP because it is not reasonably practicable to produce such reconciliation for this prospective financial information. 2

New store funds are initially recorded in other noncurrent liabilities when received and are then amortized as a reduction of cost of sales over 36 months in our financial statements. Historically, we have considered new store funds as a component of Adjusted EBITDA when received since new store funds are included in cash provided from operations. The adjustment includes the amount of new store funds received during the period presented and eliminates the non-cash reduction in cost of sales included in our results of operations (2) Reflects both non-cash effects included in net income related to acquisition accounting adjustments made to inventories and other acquisition related cash costs included in net income, such as direct acquisition costs and costs related to integration of acquired businesses (3) See. pages 33 of 2013 10-K and 34 of Q3 10-Q for further detail 34
