But when you move to a new position, it feels hard again for the first minute or two. Since I am a somewhat restless sleeper and tend to move around a lot, it isn't very good for me.

An alternative to the memory foam matresses is to get a latex matress, which is what I did. The latex matresses are much softer and feel like a cross between a regular matress and the momory foam. They are much softer, yet they still give the support that the memory foam does.

Sealy makes a line of latex matresses called "Reflexion"
You're right that the latex is a cross between memory foam and a conventional mattress. My Select Comfort bed came with both inserts memory foam and latex. The latex is also hypo allergenic and holds up better. With that said I preferred the memory foam for support.
