I needed to update this thread because we finally got a new mattress.

I'll sum up like this: my wife wanted pillowtop, now neither of us is happy.

*sigh*

So now I'm posting this mattress on Craigslist for about $300 less than we bought it about a month ago, and we'll try to figure out what to get. Even my wife, who is always cold, finds herself burning up from the pillowtop spring mattress. We got a very nice one (Stearns and Foster), but it's way to warm for us.

I know that mattresses are subjective, but I would have thought that there would be at least some consensus on what the coolest mattress is, or the coolest combination of mattress/pad/sheets would be.

Does anyone have any new thoughts on this subject? I could really use some help. I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks...
