What kind of mattress was it in the end? Springs? Memory foam? And how hard?

It's a firm spring mattress with a relatively thick and soft mattress topper.

But it's a bit of a compromise. My girlfriend hates foam mattresses even though I thought they felt great. This set-up lets me get a somewhat similar feel of sinking into the bed while being well supported.

She's also much lighter than I am and wants a soft mattress, so her side of the bed is softer.
