u guys r weird. i sleep w a sheet and a fleece (microfiber) blanket otherwise i get 2 hot
I built a latex bed (4 layers of 3" talalay latex, 12" total) that I've been pretty happy with over the years. I think the layers are extra soft, medium, firm, medium (in that order). I was able to build it for around $1200 by buying the layers direct from some factory in Arizona but I don't think they're around anymore (or at least not selling direct anymore).
I just bought 2 mattresses to demo for the guest bedroom. They're designed more for side sleepers though (although you could try the Aurora in Firm which might work for stomach sleeping).

They were the most reasonable prices I could find for the features. I wanted to try a Purple mattress but their prices are a bit steep IMO.

we just have the sheet and a doona (duvet, quilt, whatever)
100% goose down is surprisingly light and cool in summer but can be toasty warm in winter, it works both ways
(if it was up to me I just have the quilt, sheets on top are too much hassle)
but in winter at the holiday place, the old school woollen blankets are No.1 when a storm is howling through
I had a solid coir (coconut fibre) mattress in China.
About 2" of solid coir and springs underneath. You could bounce a basketball on the thing. First few weeks you woke up literally black and blue and bruised. After a while you hardened up and it was really nice, no overheating, no sore back and a really good sleep.
Shit was good for jiggy jig as well, you could prop yourself up and not be sinking everywhere, you could really get some purchase and lean into your work. Wouldn't fancy being on the bottom tho ....

"The glass beads that are used to fill weighted blankets are also referred to as micro glass beads, as they are tiny, miniscule beads, and they resemble sugar crystals or white beach sand in look and feel. Glass beads are considered top quality, and the most luxurious and quiet filler when it comes to weighted blankets."
These are apparently quite cool, not gonna have 30lbs blanket made out of wool. that shit would be hot as hell.

Here are Consumer Reports scores.
The reviews are legit. They buy all the mattresses themselves and test them all by measuring spine alignment when people lay on them, among other things. That said, the cheap foam mattresses you can get on Amazon for a few 100 dollars have come a long way over the years and no longer sleep hot or smell weird.

Those are all innerspring mattresses. What about hybrid (pocketed coil) or 100% foam?Here are Consumer Reports scores.
