I love the memory foam, but some people don't. It does get a little warm in the summer, but not so much that I mind it. It would probably suck in the South. You might also want to consider Latex foam. Latex makes for an awesome mattress too. They are extremely comfortable.

When choosing firmness with a foam bed (especially memory foam), you need to select it based on your body weight. You want it to properly relieve pressure as equally as possible.

I would take foam over any spring mattress any day. Spring mattresses just don't make any logical sense at all.
