Interviewed Feb 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 1 week)
The interview process is really simple and seems to be based on the hiring manager's gut instinct than anything else. They want to see that you can be relaxed and interact well with others. I interviewed with the store manager and then the market manager. The entire process took about a week.

Negotiation Details
There is no negotiation on hourly rate or commission - its a standard rate across the country (I'm 99% sure of this) except in NYC and CA.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 weeks)
The actual interview was within the last year, but to remain anonymous I selected 2008.
I decided to get Select Comfort a shot. I had heard about their products previous the application, and had slept on one at a hotel, so I applied. Normally you are interviewed and told they will also be interviewing anywhere from 5-15 more people. They will keep weeding down until either you're left, or you're not. When it gets down to 2-3, you will be interviewed by the Multi Store Leader or District Manager and the Store Manager, and based on their agreement, you will survive or not. I happen to be the remaining applicant.
The interview is just like any other. Why should we hire you? What makes you the best candidate? If upper management gave you something to do and you disagreed with it, would you question it before or after? Blah Blah, same ole cup of joe.
If you're hired or want to be hired, read below.
At this point, you get the fun 2 hours of paperwork to read. Don't worry, you may get paid to read this, and it's beneficial to do so anyhow. You have a 7 day "trial" period, and then a 6 month "temporary"' period. If you survive both of these "trials" then you technically are fully employed. Don't worry, you still get paid, and the pay isn't that bad if you do your job and make use of your free time.
Word of wisdom. Enjoy your job, do what's asked of you, and don't think outside the box. Follow directions, whether good or not, and you should be ok. Otherwise....move on to something else.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Denver, CO (took 3 days)
The interview for the sales rep position was very relaxed, and the interviewer did have scripted questionsthat were asked - example - Tell me about a time when you had to get creative to make a sale, how do you handle stress, tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer, co-worker, boss, tell me your greatest strengths and weaknesses, how comfortable are you with opening or closing a store by yourself, etc. Store manager and a partner store manager were both present - interviews were done 1:1, one at a time. District manager interview was scheduled the following day.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Position was "temporary" and the commute ws too far to justify for temp employment
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed May 2007 in Philadelphia, PA (took 3 days)
Standard S.T.A.R questions (Situation, Task, Action, Result) "Tell me about a time when you had a difficult customer"
When you apply, there is a diagnostic. Then a call from the Store Manager, with basic questions asking why you would want to join the company. One-on-one with the SM, then a 2nd interview with DM. SM asks you S.T.A.R questions, DM's interview is fairly conversational, regarding previous job experiences. Easy interview process, presentation is not required.
