 Re:  Simmons Company (formerly named THL Bedding Holding Co.)
     Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-116197)                    

Ladies and Gentlemen:                                                           

Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the          
"Securities Act"), Simmons Company (the "Company") hereby applies for the       
withdrawal of its Registration Statement No. 333-116197 on Form S-1 with all    
exhibits thereto (collectively, the "Registration Statement").                  

The Registration Statement was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on June 4, 2004, in connection with the proposed  
initial public offering of the Company's common stock. The Commission has not   
declared the Registration Statement effective and no securities have been sold  
pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement is being     
withdrawn because the Company has decided, due to market conditions and for     
strategic reasons, that it does not wish to proceed with its initial public     
offering of common stock at this time.                                          

The Company respectfully requests that in accordance with Rule 457(p) under the 
Securities Act, all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of
the Registration Statement be credited to the Company's account for future use. 

Please contact Brian Webb at (212) 310-8122 if you have any questions regarding 
this request for withdrawal.                                                    

Sincerely,                                                                      

Simmons Company                                                                 

By: /s/ William S. Creekmuir
