I took the plunge and ordered a Flobed - any advice?

2 years ago I got a Dormia memory foam bed.  It started out good but it didn't take long and it felt like someone else in the forum has stated about memory foam - it feels like laying on wet sand.  And it has gotten so it is basically permanently sunken in - not sunken a great amount but enough so that it really doesnt' support the body properly.  I had been reading this forum for a while and basically got sold on the latex idea - I will never do memory foam again.  I'm a little worried that I couldn't try it out first since that is what I also did with the Dormia but with all the positive reviews, the options of adjusting firmness and the guarantee from Flobed, it seems relatively safe.  I am a single male, 5" 11", 170 lbs.  I prefer a firm bed.  I am getting a queen that is adjustable on either side.  For side 1, I ordered firm, firm, extra firm.  For side 2, I ordered medium, firm, extra firm.  I feel this should give me lots of options to adjust the bed if necessary and, of course, I can always work with Flobed to change out pads if necessary.  Their $500 off New Year pricing ended on Friday but I was lucky because they offered it to me this morning - and I now see the offer is no longer available.  It sounds like they must have been selling lots of beds since mine is not scheduled to ship until January 27 - if you count business days only, this meets their 10 day shipping guarantee.

Since my old bed is memory foam, the base is slatted with a sheet of something hard over the slats - I think I'm pretty safe with that.  So, any advice for a newbie in terms of set up, etc?  I'm looking forward to it's arrival.
