Hi I am planning to replace a California King mattress and box spring that we have had for some time and am totally confused by the choices. I've heard memory foam gets too hot...(live in Southern California near the beach). Is that correct? Are there ways of mitigating that? I have a custom made headboard which limits the overall height of the mattress. Are there adjustable frame options? I read in bed very often (since I don't sleep very well...that may change with a new mattress set but I would guess reading in bed will still be a priority. Are there mattress types that should be avoided for bed-readers? My husband is a stomach sleeper, I am side sleeper primarily with some back time. No real problems with back pain for either of us, although I have noticed a hip issue recently...stiffness/soreness, may be related to deterioration of the old mattress. We are both in our mid-60s and are moderately sized (not light, not really overweight...altho carrying a little more than either of us would like). Latex, memory foam, pocket coils are all very confusing. The Costco Emma looks interesting, the FloBeds, too, the SleepEZ, as well. Just a few. Would like to keep the price for bed and foundation to around $2K. I hadn't realized how many options there are...just the latex options are overwhelming. Then the thought of stuffing it ourselves??? What is the White Glove business? Comments? Advice? All thoughts will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance!! Jade
