There are also other brands of memory foam mattresses, usually less expensive, worth looking at.
My DD has the too warm problem with her temperpedic, so we put a thick polyester mattress pad on top under the sheets, and got her a little clip on fan to point toward her as she sleeps, and problem solved. The mattress pad helps circulate the air around you....which the "mattress protectors" that I bought with mine, (to get the twenty year warrranty) do not, but I still use them all the time. Enjoy SOCal!
