Thanks for the input, folks. I'll try to look into shops that might have better return policies and maybe we'll see if we like the memory foam mattresses. I like all the advantages they have, but I do worry about heat and whether I'll find them comfortable.

I know you said "pretty much square," but 76"x80" doesn't seem square enough to turn in quarter rotations. I'd have two inch overhangs on either side, and lose four inches of length or width depending on the week smile
