Sleep Number (NASDAQ:SNBR) announced today that it has reached an agreement with its lenders that provides additional $55 million of liquidity, including a $25 million term loan, and relief on certain financial and liquidity covenants. The agreement enables the company to continue to execute its turnaround plan, including its product and marketing initiatives, while continuing to evaluate strategic business and financing opportunities to deliver the best value.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement with our lending group that provides covenant relief and incremental capital to support our new product launch and marketing plans as we enter the Memorial Day selling season," said Amy O'Keefe, Sleep Number's CFO. "As we noted on our last earnings call, we remain focused on a long-term solution for our capital structure."
New Product and Marketing Gains Momentum
As Sleep Number continues to prioritize resetting its capital structure, the company is executing the rollout of its new product portfolio and marketing campaign.
Earlier this year, Sleep Number introduced its largest product reset in nearly a decade, beginning with the launch of ComfortMode in late January and followed by the refresh of the broader portfolio in late March. The company has also rolled out new marketing creative, including its first major integrated campaign in several years, which launched this morning.
"While it is still early, we are happy with the customer response to the new beds and the performance of our new marketing creative, which gives me confidence in the progress against our turnaround plan," said Linda Findley, Sleep Number's President and CEO. "We are seeing early signs of positive customer reviews and improved Net Promoter Score for ComfortMode. In addition, performance for the quarter is in line with our expectations as disclosed on our last earnings call. We look forward to discussing quarter results on our upcoming call."
In addition, recent consumer research underscores the impact of Sleep Number's new product line, reinforcing the company's focus on delivering measurable improvements in sleep quality through individualized comfort and support.

The agreement also provides certain covenant relief, including a waiver of the $30 million minimum liquidity covenant until the first week ending after July 1, 2026 and forbearance by existing lenders from exercising rights and remedies with respect to other financial covenants.
