Mattress options

We are looking to upgrade the V-berth mattress on our boat to something a bit more comfortable than the 4" foam it came with. What are people using these days? Is anyone using springs or have we all gone foam? I like foam mattresses but find that they get pretty hot, and I'm in the PNW!

Bonus points for something we can use ashore in rectangular format for a a few months and cut down later, as we aren't quite ready to move aboard yet.

This steep bluff was covered in gorse. I had heard of gorse (vague memory of Peter Rabbit, or was it Eeyore? getting stuck in a gorse bush) but never seen it before.

The most striking thing about this stuff was the scent. It smelled like coconut, or like suntan lotion. Entirely pleasant, and combined with the sunshine it made this spot a mini tropical vacation.

Gorse is considered invasive in this part of the world, unfortunately, but it's doing a great job preventing erosion here.
