Hi.  I've been on and off this forum for a few years.  In 2007, I bought a Vera Wang latex mattress & box spring, medium firmness, from Sleepys.  My grilfriend at the time loved it.  I didn't find it as wonderful.  I thought it slept hot and I'd wake up with back pains some nights.  Due to handful of moves, etc, that mattress (and girlfriend)is now gone and I'm in need of a new one (on both accounts :).  As I posted in another thread, I'm looking at either the Coco-Mat mattress, which I can pick up in a store locally in NYC, or going with Flobeds.

I've read a lot about Flobeds over the years on this board and the one thing I consistently hear is that the reccomended firmness is often way too soft.  I'm a stomach sleeper and do prefer a firmer bed (although nothing rock-hard as some folks here need).  I'm a small'ish guy.  5'7", 145 lbs.  I was thinking either M/F/F, M/F/XF or  F/F/XF is likely the right place to start.  (Flobeds website reccomends the M/F/F).  Anyone have thoughts/advice on where to start? 

Also, if one were to choose to remove the convoluted topper from the Flobeds case, does it cause any problem (i.e. does it make the case too big for the overall mattress and cause things to move around or feel uncomfortable)?  Would you need to replace the topper with more latex?

Thanks in advance..
