Just ordered Sleep Science Latex from Costco- couple questions

Hi there, I have been reading and studying on this website for awhile. We have bought 2 new king mattresses in just over a years time and both have been warrantied through the manufactures (both innerspring, a Serta and an Aireloom). Both of these mattresses had severe body impressions within a couple months and became very uncomfortable. We have decided to move away from innerspring and try something new. I was initially interested in a memory foam mattress, but after having the Aireloom and reading a lot of reviews, I discovered that the memory foam might be way too hot for me. Here is what the Aireloom was made of:

8" Aireloom Pocketed Coil Springs

Soy Based Foam Encased Edge

1" 19 Ild. Talalay Latex

1 1/2" Super Foam

1 1/2" Convoluted/Reflex Foam

So, I have decided on and ordered the Sleep Science 10" Latex mattress from Costco. I know that with Costco's awesome return policy, I will be ok. I also have seen a lot of positive feedback on this forum about this mattress which leads me to my questions.

I see that some people have put down plywood on top of their foundations. Is this necessary? Are there advantages/disadvantages of doing this? I will be using the Aireloom foundation that I am now stuck with.

My other question is about adding a mattress topper to this mattress. I see that some have done this as well. I guess I don't understand why I would need to add a topper to a brand new mattress. Is it because adding a memory foam topper would add more softness? I worry about heat issues by doing that. Or is there some toppers that don't have heat issues?

I ordered the mattress today and it says its 4-6 weeks out on delivery. I hope its quicker then that!!

The past year has been mattress hell! I just want something that I love. I hoep this mattress is just that.

Thanks!
