Memory foam mattress

We were going to order a memory foam mattress but someone advised against it. What we need to know from someone who has slept on one is whether it is too warm for comfort or not.

We put a 3" memory foam on top of the existing mattress and enjoy it.  We used it on our home mattress until we bought a pillow top mattress and didn't need it anymore.  If you buy a new one it will have a smell for a while but it goes away.  We aired ours out for a week and then after a month of use we didn't notice it anymore.  

We have memory foam toppers on all of our beds at home and in Rbug.  Memory foam does not make you feel warm, it is your conventional foam that causes the body to feel hot and for some ppl sweat.  Visco, memory foam, Tempurpedic are all made from the same material, and like conventional foam, they have a density rating too, which is why you will find prices vary.  During my extensive search for a topper, it was recommended by many to get at least 3" to have the best comfort.  We have 2" and 3" and do prefer the 3" topper.  You can get 7" mattresses that will have a 2-3" memory foam topper on top of conventional foam. The Tempurpedic mattresses are solid, very expensive, and hard when you lay on them, but soften up some when your body heat warms it up.  All memory foam toppers, when the weather is cooler, you will find them to feel very firm and then soften from your body heat, and when they do they are sooooo comfy and cozy.  It is all personal preference.  Good luck.

I have the RP-175 model R-Pod.  I guess you could see that.  But anyway, if I were to do away with the factory mattress, what thickness should I get?

We're going to add a feather bed topper.  The mattress if fine but I've been warned it won't be fine for long.  I don't like the chemicalness of foam.
