So, we've finally set up the foam mattress from FBM! It came so quickly--in 3 or 4 days, so i was really pleased. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;3 inches LUX-HQ&lt;BR&gt;3 inches HD36-HQ&lt;BR&gt;1 1/2 inches HD36 eggcrate&lt;BR&gt;1 1/2 inches supersoft eggcrate&lt;BR&gt;1 inch fiber mattress cover &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I really liked the initial feel of the mattress--firm, yet a little cush on top. Felt really solid, supportive. Two things i've noticed, in my first night's sleep, though, are: It might sleep a little 'hot'--i think i just woke up sweating slightly! And, when i lie on my back, i feel a little discomfort in my lumbar area...Perhaps this is due to not 'sinking' in as much as i should? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Well, i'll see how it feels in the next nights. &lt;BR&gt;Can i place anything on top to lessen the heat? Latex, perhaps? I'm sure memory foam would only increase it...? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I'm generally pleased, and will report again (of course!). Thanks for all the great advice and information--this forum is such a wonderful resource!! One day maybe i'll be able to afford a FloBed...;) <BR><BR>p.s. and of course there's the motion transfer question...It feels a lot more stable than my innerspring, of course, but haven't put it to the test yet with boyfriend sleeping in it!
