  This Amendment No. 1 amends Item 7, Item 8 and Item 12 of the Annual Report
on Form 10-K filed by Sealy Corporation (the "Company") with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 2, 1998 (the "Form 10-K"). Portions of each

PART II.
 
ITEM 7.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
 
     The Company hereby amends the fifth full paragraph on page 13 of the
     Form 10-K as follows:
 
  Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were flat versus the prior year, but decreased as a percent of net
sales from 33.1% to 31.1%. Increased operating expenses of $16.8 million were
offset by a decrease in marketing spending of $14.1 million and a prior year
$2.7 million charge associated with closing the sleep sofa business. The
increase in operating expenses is due primarily to increases in incentive
bonuses and administrative and sales salaries. Additionally, the Company
incurred executive severance and transition expenses of $1.9 million.
Marketing spending declined from $117.8 million in Fiscal 1995 to $103.7
million in Fiscal 1996 as a result of adjustments in the Company's marketing
strategies.
 
     The Company hereby amends the third full paragraph on page 16 of the
     Form 10-K as follows:
 
  The Tranche A Term Loans mature in December 2002. The AXELs Series B mature
in December 2004. The AXELs Series C mature in December 2005. The AXELs Series
D mature in December 2006. The Tranche A Term Loans are subject to quarterly
amortization payments commencing in March 1999, the AXELs Series B, the AXELs
Series C and the AXELs Series D are subject to quarterly amortization payments
commencing in March 1998 with the AXELs Series B amortizing in nominal amounts
until the maturity of the Tranche A Term Loans, the AXELs Series C amortizing
in nominal amounts until the maturity of the AXELs Series B and the AXELs
Series D amortizing in nominal amounts until the maturity of the AXELs Series
C. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in December 2002. In addition, the
Senior Credit Agreements provide for mandatory repayments, subject to certain
exceptions, of the Term Loans, and reductions in the Revolving Credit
Facility, based on the net proceeds of certain asset sales outside the
ordinary course of business of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, the net
proceeds of insurance, the net proceeds of certain debt and equity issuances,
and excess cash flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreements).
 
ITEM 8.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

     Form 10-K as follows:

commencing in March 1998 with the AXELs Series B amortizing in nominal amounts

in nominal amounts until the maturity of the AXELs Series B and the AXELs
Series D amortizing in nominal amounts until the maturity of the AXELs Series
C. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in December 2002. In addition, the
