Your's is a textbook example of why we all hate to shop for mattresses! You need a priest, lawyer and materials scientist just to buy a damn bed.
I gave up trying to get TV just because I was never sure what I was buying and what it would cost.

I wish you were closer.  I would set you up.

We bought a mattress with a latex topper, and it's hot!

I'm going to second this, ours is manageable, but it is warmer than normal.
Seems to retain body heat.

After a Sealy Posturpedic and top of the line Beauty Rest lasted less than a year, each, I bought a top of the line Tempurpedic.

Love it.  Best sleeping mattress I have ever owned.

I think 'Top of the line" is THE most overused description ever.  I mean really, can you quantify that?

What? An opinion on Latex... Mistresses??
Not bad at all...   


Ah... no  you mean... Mattresses
 

I think they are too pricey for the benefits they give, at least here in Italy.
Many say they are the best mattresses around, but they're way too expensive: average 800 euro (almost $1000) for a mattress is  too much IMO.
The investement is good only for those who really need it.

Moreover...

"Top of the line".....We looked at a store near our house called "Matress Firm"   It was possible there to buy a bed with the same retail price as  Ninja 1000.  Obviously, I did the right thing.  A basic sleep number and the Ninja 1000 made me sleep better.
