Leggett & Platt, Incorporated ANNUAL MEETING—MAY 8, 2008 PROXY STATEMENT TABLE OF CONTENTS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETING Why am I receiving these materials? The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the “Company” or “Leggett”) is providing these materials to you in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2008. These materials were first sent to shareholders on March 27, 2008. As a Leggett shareholder, you are entitled and encouraged to vote on the items of business presented in these proxy materials. You are invited to attend the annual meeting, but you do not have to attend to be able to vote. Where can I obtain financial information about Leggett? Our Annual Report to Shareholders, including our Form 10-K and containing financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007, is enclosed in the same mailing with this proxy statement. The Company’s Proxy Statement, Annual Report to Shareholders (including Form 10-K), and other proxy materials are also available at www.leggett.com/proxy/2008/default.asp. Information on our website does not constitute part of this proxy statement. What business will be voted on at the annual meeting? Shareholders will vote on the following business items at the annual meeting:
How does the Board recommend that I vote? The Board recommends that you vote:
The only class of outstanding voting securities is the Company’s $.01 par value common stock. Each share of common stock issued and outstanding at the close of business on March 5, 2008 (the “Record Date”) is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at the annual meeting. On the Record Date, we had 167,192,649 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. You may vote all shares of Leggett common stock you owned on the Record Date. This includes (i) shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record, (ii) shares held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, trustee or other nominee, sometimes referred to as shares held in “street name,” and (iii) shares held for you in Company benefit plans.
3
Shareholder of Record If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered the shareholder of record, and these proxy materials were sent to you directly. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your proxy vote directly or to vote in person at the annual meeting. We have enclosed a proxy card for you to use. Beneficial Owner If you hold shares in a brokerage account or through some other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name, and these proxy materials were forwarded to you from the broker, trustee or nominee, together with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares by proxy. Although you are invited to attend the annual meeting, you may not vote these shares in person unless you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee or nominee. You may vote your shares by any of the options listed on the voting instruction card. Benefit Plans If you hold Company stock in the Stock Bonus Plan and/or 401(k) Plan, you will receive a voting instruction form in a separate mailing. You will need to complete and return the voting instruction form to vote these shares (Internet voting is not available). The Company must receive your completed voting instruction form by April 28, 2008. If you do not provide instructions or your instructions are not received by April 28, 2008, the plan trustees will vote the shares credited to your account in accordance with the recommendation of their respective investment committees. Generally, you may vote by Internet at www.investorvote.com, by signing and returning the proxy or voting instruction card, or in person at the meeting. If you vote by Internet, you do not need to return the proxy or voting instruction card. You will need to have your proxy or voting instruction card in hand if you vote by Internet. Specific voting instructions are found on the proxy card or voting instruction card included with this proxy statement. If you are a shareholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy any time before the annual meeting by (i) submitting a valid, later-dated proxy, (ii) submitting a valid, subsequent vote by the Internet, (iii) notifying the Company’s Secretary that you have revoked your proxy, or (iv) completing a written ballot at the annual meeting. If you hold shares as the beneficial owner, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, trustee or other nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, trustee or nominee, by voting in person at the annual meeting. If you hold shares in Company benefit plans, you can revoke your vote instructions by delivering a valid, later-dated voting instruction form prior to the deadline specified in the voting instructions. How many votes are needed to conduct business at the annual meeting? A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote must be present at the annual meeting, or represented by proxy, in order to meet the quorum requirement to transact business. Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described in the following question) are counted for the purpose of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the annual meeting will be adjourned for not more than 90 days to reach a quorum.

In the election of directors, you may vote for all of the nominees or withhold your vote for one or more of the nominees. For the other proposals, you may vote for, against or abstain. An abstain vote has the same effect as a vote against the proposal. For a director to be elected or a proposal to be approved, our bylaws require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present and entitled to vote. For Proposal Three, the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Flexible Stock Plan, New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules require an additional level of shareholder approval—a majority of the votes cast must be in favor, and the total number of votes cast must be more than 50% of all shares entitled to vote on the proposal. If you return a proxy card without marking one or more proposals, your proxy will be voted for those unmarked proposals in accordance with the Board’s recommendation: FOR the election of each nominee for director, FOR the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, FOR the amendment and restatement of the Flexible Stock Plan, and AGAINST the proposal to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the Company’s written non-discrimination policy. If you hold shares in street name through a broker or other nominee and do not vote your shares or provide voting instructions, your broker may vote on your behalf for those proposals that are considered routine. Proposals One and Two in this proxy statement are considered routine. For non-routine proposals, such as Proposals Three and Four, if you do not vote your shares or provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee, the broker will not be permitted to vote your shares—this is a broker non-vote. Broker non-votes are not counted as shares present and entitled to be voted and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the vote, except in the case of Proposal Three to the extent the total votes cast do not represent more than 50% of the shares entitled to vote. If we do not receive voting instructions for shares held in the Stock Bonus Plan or 401(k) Plan, the plan trustees will vote those shares in accordance with the recommendation of their respective investment committees. Who pays the cost of soliciting votes at the annual meeting? Leggett is making this solicitation and will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing these proxy materials to solicit votes for the annual meeting. Upon request, we will also reimburse brokers and other nominees for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to shareholders. If you choose to access proxy materials or vote by Internet, you are responsible for any Internet access charges you may incur. We have engaged Georgeson Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies by mail or telephone, in person, or otherwise. Georgeson’s fees are expected to be $17,500 plus expenses. If necessary to assure sufficient representation at the meeting, employees of the Company, at no additional compensation, may request the return of proxies. Where can I find the voting results of the annual meeting? We will announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting and issue a press release immediately following the meeting. We will publish the final vote count in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2008. What should I do if I receive more than one set of proxy materials? You may receive multiple sets of proxy materials if you hold shares in more than one brokerage account or if you are a shareholder of record and have shares registered in more than one name. Please vote the shares on each proxy card or voting instruction card you receive.
5
We have adopted a procedure known as “householding” which allows us, unless a shareholder withholds consent, to send one proxy statement and annual report to multiple shareholders of record sharing the same address. Each shareholder at a given address will receive a separate proxy card. If you are receiving multiple sets of proxy materials and wish to have your accounts householded, call Computershare at 800-884-4225 or send written instructions to Computershare, 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021. If you no longer wish to participate in householding, you must provide written notification to Computershare to revoke your consent. Many brokerage firms participate in householding as well. If you have a householding request for your brokerage account, please contact your broker. How may I obtain another set of proxy materials? If you received only one set of proxy materials for multiple shareholders of record and wish to receive another set this year, we will promptly send you an additional copy if you request one by calling us at 1-800-888-4569 or writing to Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, Attn: Investor Relations, No. 1 Leggett Road, Carthage, MO 64836. In addition, you can access a complete set of proxy materials, which include the Notice of Meeting, Proxy Statement, and Annual Report to Shareholders (including Form 10-K) on the Internet at www.leggett.com/proxy/2008/default.asp. To ensure that you receive multiple copies in the future, please contact Computershare at the number or address in the preceding question to withhold your consent for householding. How do I elect to receive online proxy materials instead of paper copies? Registered shareholders can save the Company the expense of mailing printed proxy materials by consenting to receive them in electronic format instead. You can choose this option by completing the required information at either www.computershare.com/investor or www.investorvote.com. Your choice will remain in effect until you revoke it. By choosing to receive the annual meeting materials online, you are also agreeing that the online notice of the annual meeting is equivalent to the personal delivery of written notice. If you choose this option, you will receive an e-mail notice prior to the next annual meeting that will provide the links to the annual meeting materials online. This e-mail notice will also provide instructions to vote your proxy online. You may later revoke your consent or specifically request that hard copy proxy materials be sent to you. To change or revoke your consent, follow the instructions on www.computershare.com/investor. What is the deadline to propose actions for next year’s annual meeting or to nominate a director? Shareholders may propose actions for consideration at future annual meetings by either presenting them for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement or by soliciting votes independent of our proxy statement. To be properly brought before the meeting, all shareholder actions must comply with our bylaws, as well as SEC requirements under Regulation 14A. Leggett’s bylaws are posted on the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.leggett.com. Notices specified for the types of shareholder actions set forth below must be addressed to Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, Attn: Corporate Secretary, No. 1 Leggett Road, Carthage, MO 64836. Shareholder Proposal Included in Proxy Statement If you intend to present a proposal at the 2009 annual meeting, SEC rules require that the Corporate Secretary receive the proposal at the address given above by November 27, 2008 for possible inclusion in the proxy statement. We will determine whether to include a proposal in the proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules governing the solicitation of proxies.
6
Shareholder Proposal Not Included in Proxy Statement If you intend to submit a proposal at the 2009 annual meeting by soliciting votes independent of the Company’s proxy statement, Section 1.2 of our bylaws requires that the Company receive timely notice of the proposal—no earlier than December 9, 2008 and no later than January 28, 2009. The notice must include a description of the proposed business, the name and address of the shareholder and number of shares held, any material interest of the shareholder in the business, and other matters specified in the bylaws. The nature of the business also must be appropriate for shareholder action under applicable law. The bylaw requirements also apply in determining whether notice is timely under SEC rules relating to the exercise of discretionary voting authority. Director Nominee Included in Proxy Statement If you wish to recommend a director candidate to the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee for possible inclusion in the proxy statement, please see the requirements described under “Consideration of Director Nominees” on page 11. Director Nominee Not Included in Proxy Statement If you intend to nominate a director candidate for election outside of the Company’s nomination process, our bylaws require the Company receive timely notice of the nomination—no earlier than December 9, 2008 and no later than January 28, 2009. The notice of nomination must include the information specified in Section 2.2 of the bylaws, including the name and address of the shareholder making the nomination, the number of shares held by the shareholder, the name, address and occupation of each proposed nominee, and certain other information. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS Leggett has a long-standing commitment to sound corporate governance principles and practices. The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that establish the roles and responsibilities of the Board and Company management. The Board also has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all Company employees, officers and directors, as well as a separate Financial Code of Ethics applicable to the Company’s CEO, CFO, principal accounting officer and corporate controller. These documents are published on our website at www.leggett.com and are available in print form to any shareholder who requests them. Director Independence and Presiding Director The Company has adopted Categorical Standards for Director Independence (the “Categorical Standards”) that meet, and in some areas exceed, the NYSE listing standards. The Categorical Standards are attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A and are published on our website at www.leggett.com. The Categorical Standards assist the Board in determining director independence but are not the exclusive measure to assess a director’s independence. A director who meets all of the Categorical Standards will be presumed to be independent, but the Board reviews all relevant facts and circumstances of a relationship covered by the standards and, based upon such review, may determine that a director is not independent. The Board also determines the independence of any director with a relationship to the Company that is not covered by the Categorical Standards. The Board reviews director independence annually and upon learning of any change in circumstances during the year that may affect a director’s independence. In connection with its annual review, the Board
7
evaluates any transactions or relationships between directors and their immediate family members and the Company. In particular, for director McClanathan, the Board considered Company purchases from Mr. McClanathan’s employer and found the purchase amounts to be well below the threshold permitted in the Categorical Standards. Based on its review, the Board has affirmatively determined that all of its non-management directors, except former CEOs Harry M. Cornell, Jr. and Felix E. Wright, are independent. (See the table on page 9 for a complete list of the independent directors.) The Board found no business or other relationship involving an independent director and the Company that did not fit within the Categorical Standards or that presented any potential conflict to independence. In accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines, non-management directors regularly hold executive sessions without management present. At least one executive session per year is attended by only independent non-management directors. The Board has chosen Richard T. Fisher as the Presiding Director for meetings of the independent non-management directors. As Presiding Director, Mr. Fisher also makes at least two additional visits to Company sites per year and is available to the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer for consultation as needed. Shareholders and other interested parties may write to the Board by e-mail at presidingdirector@leggett.com, which communications are received directly by Mr. Fisher, the Board’s Presiding Director. Shareholder communications can also be addressed to: L&P Presiding Director, P.O. Box 637, Carthage, MO 64836. Correspondence to this address is reviewed by the Secretary’s office, which periodically forwards to Mr. Fisher all communications except items unrelated to the functions of the Board of Directors (for example, advertisements and junk mail). In his discretion, Mr. Fisher may forward communications to the full Board or to any or all of the independent directors for further consideration.
8
Board and Committee Composition and Meetings The Board held seven meetings in 2007, and its committees met the number of times listed in the table below. All directors attended at least 75% of their committee meetings in 2007. All directors attended at least 75% of the 2007 Board meetings, except Raymond Bentele who was absent from two Board meetings due to illness. Directors are expected to attend the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders, and all of them attended the 2007 annual meeting. The Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee. The membership and function of each of the committees are described below. The Board also has an Executive Committee composed of Richard Fisher (Chair), David Haffner and Maurice Purnell. With the exception of the Executive Committee, each committee is composed entirely of independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The committee charters are published in the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.leggett.com and are available in print form to any shareholder who requests them.
All Audit Committee members meet the higher independence standard for audit committee service under NYSE and SEC rules and are financially literate, as defined by NYSE rules. Four members, Raymond Bentele, Richard Fisher, Judy Odom, and Phoebe Wood, possess the training, skills, and experience required to meet the SEC definition of an audit committee “financial expert.” None of the members serves on the audit committee of more than three public companies. The Audit Committee assists the Board in the oversight of: (i) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence, appointment, compensation, retention, and performance; (ii) the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting; (iii) the guidelines and policies to govern risk assessment and management; (iv) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function; (v) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and its external financial reporting; and (vi) the Company’s legal and regulatory compliance. We have posted on our website and corporate intranet a procedure for employees and others to confidentially report to the Audit Committee any questionable accounting, internal control, or auditing matters. The Vice President of Internal Audit has a direct reporting relationship to the Audit Committee and is responsible for receiving, processing, and maintaining records of the reports. The Chair of the Audit Committee reviews all complaints and accompanying investigations and may request the full Committee’s review of a complaint to determine appropriate actions.
9
The Compensation Committee assists management and the Board in developing and maintaining the Company’s policies relating to (i) CEO, executive officer, and director compensation and (ii) Company equity and incentive compensation plans that are subject to Board approval. The Committee strives for policies that will (i) support the Company’s business objectives, (ii) attract and retain high quality leadership, and (iii) link compensation with business objectives and performance. The Committee may delegate its duties and responsibilities to one or more Committee members or officers of the Company as it deems appropriate, but may not delegate authority to non-members for any action involving executive officers. The Committee conducts a comprehensive review of executive officer compensation each year in March, prior to approving any salary increases. Details of the Committee’s 2007 review are included in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section on page 28. The Committee determines the compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer reviews each executive officer’s performance in consultation with the individual’s supervisor and recommends appropriate compensation adjustments to the Committee. The Committee determines the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation independent of management. The Committee also periodically reviews cash and equity compensation for directors and recommends any director compensation changes to the full Board for approval. Company managers in the Human Resources and Corporate Affairs departments provide data needed for compensation decisions at the Committee’s request. The Committee may hire outside compensation consultants as needed for the proper discharge of its duties, but it did not use any outside consulting services in connection with executive or director compensation decisions in 2007. The Company engaged Compensia to review the Compensation Discussion & Analysis (CD&A) and executive compensation disclosures contained in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference into the Company’s Form 10-K for 2007. The scope of Compensia’s engagement included the following:
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation No member of the Compensation Committee had an interlocking relationship as described in Item 407(e)(4) of Regulation S-K. Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee (i) assists the Board in developing and maintaining the Company’s corporate governance principles, policies, and procedures, (ii) identifies qualified candidates for Board membership and recommends director nominees to the Board, (iii) reviews director independence and related person transactions, and (iv) reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the Board’s size, composition, and policies.
10
Consideration of Director Nominees The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”) is responsible for identifying and evaluating qualified candidates for election to the Board of Directors. Following its evaluation, the Committee recommends to the full Board a slate of director candidates for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card. In the case of incumbent directors, the Committee reviews each director’s overall service during his or her current term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any transactions between the director and the Company. In the case of new director candidates, the Committee first determines whether the nominee must be independent under NYSE rules, then identifies any special needs of the current Board. The Committee will consider individuals recommended by Board members, Company management, shareholders and, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Board of Directors may also consider candidates to fill a vacancy in the Board outside of the Annual Shareholder Meeting process. The Committee will use the same criteria as are used to evaluate a director nominee to be elected by shareholders. In the event of a vacancy to be filled by the Board, the Committee will recommend one or more candidates for election and proxies will not be solicited. The Committee seeks to identify and recruit the best available candidates. Qualified candidates will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin or disability. The Committee believes director candidates should have the following minimum qualifications:
In addition to the minimum qualifications described above, the Committee may also consider the following factors in evaluating candidates for recommendation to the Board:
11
Following the Committee’s initial review of a candidate’s qualifications, one or more Committee members will interview the candidate. The Committee may arrange subsequent interviews with the Chairman of the Board, Presiding Director, and/or members of the Company’s management. The Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the minimum criteria set forth above, for candidates recommended by a shareholder. Shareholders who wish to recommend candidates for the Committee’s consideration must submit a written recommendation to the Secretary of the Company at No. 1 Leggett Road, Carthage, MO 64836. Recommendations must be sent by certified or registered mail and received by December 15th for consideration at the following year’s annual meeting of shareholders. Recommendations must include the following:
The Corporate Secretary will promptly forward these materials to the Committee Chair and the Chairman of the Board. The Committee may contact recommended candidates to request additional information necessary for its evaluation or for disclosure under applicable SEC rules. Separate procedures apply if a shareholder wishes to nominate a director candidate for election at a meeting of shareholders. Those procedures, contained in our bylaws, are discussed in the Question and Answer section of this proxy statement on page 6. Review of Related Person Transactions According to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee reviews and approves or ratifies transactions with related persons unless the transaction is compensatory in nature, in which case the duty falls to the Compensation Committee. A “Related Person” is: (i) a person who has served as an executive officer, director or director nominee of the Company at any time since the beginning of the last fiscal year; (ii) a shareholder beneficially owning in excess of 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities; (iii) an immediate family member of any person described in clause (i) or (ii); or (iv) an entity in which any of the foregoing persons has, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest. An “Interested Transaction” is any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or series of similar transactions, involving an amount that exceeds or is expected to exceed $120,000 in the aggregate, in which the Company or its subsidiaries was, is, or will be a participant and in which a Related Person had, has, or will have a direct or indirect material interest, and the transaction, arrangement or relationship is not specifically excluded from the disclosure requirements of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
12
The Company’s executive officers and directors are expected to notify the Company’s Corporate Secretary or Deputy Corporate Secretary of any current or proposed transaction that may be an Interested Transaction. The Corporate Secretary will determine if it is an Interested Transaction and, if so, will include it for consideration at the next meeting of the appropriate Committee. Approval should be obtained in advance of an Interested Transaction whenever practicable. If it becomes necessary to approve an Interested Transaction between meetings, the Chair of the Committee is authorized to act on behalf of the Committee. The Chair will provide a report on the matter to the full Committee at its next meeting. Although the appropriate Committee may review any transaction with a Related Person, the following Interested Transactions are specifically pre-approved and no further action need be taken:
13
Employee directors receive an annual retainer of $3,000 which is included in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 40. Compensation earned in 2007 by non-employee directors is set forth in the table below. Directors may elect to defer their cash compensation into stock options or stock units under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Program, described on page 49. The Company also pays for all travel expenses the directors incur to attend Board meetings.
