Goldman Sachs maintains a 'Neutral' on Tempur-Pedic (NYSE: TPX) price target of $30.00 (from $61.00).

Analyst, Joshua Pollard, said, "The specialty bedding sector has become very competitive, very quickly. In just two months Tempur-Pedic has discounted a bed for the first time in its history after offering it lowest-priced bed at $1,499. Our major concern going forward for Tempur-Pedic is the lack of levers the company can pull to stem near-term earnings weakness. Advertising, which can be cut the fastest, has been the biggest driver of sales growth, so significant cuts could exacerbate share losses."

Goldman slashes FY12 EPS estimate from $3.94 to $2.62, FY13 from $4.88 to $3.01 and FY14 from $5.91 to $3.60.
