RE: Advice re transition to big kid beds
For transition, talk up coolness factor, let them pick out sheets, etc. We got a few books. Our fave was Billy's Big Boy Bed:

As far as firmness, you don't need to worry about getting
firm like a crib mattress, but a pillow top might be a bit
much. I'd say something in between. It doesn't have to
be as supportive as one for you since there's not as much
to support! I'd rec. keeping the cribs for now. IMO, it will
ease the transition. You may want to put the beds where
the cribs are now, so the beds are in a familiar place,
but the cribs are still there for security. The room
make look crowded, but it's temporary. Good luck,
it may be easier than you think!
