ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On  November  10,  2000,  Select  Comfort  Corporation  (the  "Company"  or  the
"Registrant") acquired substantially all of the business and assets of SleepTec,
Inc.,  a Delaware  corporation  ("SleepTec").  SleepTec  has been engaged in the
business of  manufacturing,  selling and  distributing  innovative sofa sleepers
with air supported  sleep surfaces  primarily in the United States.  The Company
intends to continue to devote the assets  acquired from SleepTec in  furtherance
of such  business.  The assets of SleepTec  acquired by the  Registrant  include
certain manufacturing tools, equipment and supplies,  inventories,  intellectual
property rights and contractual  rights. The aggregate purchase price payable by
the Company for the assets of  SleepTec  consists of (i) a  non-interest-bearing
subordinated   convertible   debenture  in  the  original  principal  amount  of
$4,000,000, due November 10, 2005 and convertible at any time into shares of the
Company's  common stock at the rate of $5.50 per share of common stock; and (ii)
$400,000 in cash. In addition, the Company agreed to fund approximately $250,000
in a combination  of cash and equity (in the form of options to purchase  shares
of the  Company's  common  stock)  payments to current and former  employees  of
SleepTec for transition services and severance compensation.  The purchase price
was  determined  through  arm's-length  negotiations  between  the  Company  and
representatives  of SleepTec based primarily upon the past and projected  future
stream of earnings of the SleepTec  operations.  The source of the funds used to
pay the purchase price was cash on hand at the Company.

The  Company is a minoruty  shareholder  in  SleepTec.  Affiliates  of St.  Paul
Venture  Capital,  Inc.  own a  majority  of the  outstanding  capital  stock of
SleepTec. Patrick A. Hopf, a director and the Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Company is the President of St. Paul Venture  Capital,  Inc. and a member
of the Board of Directors of SleepTec.
