I just purchased a new FloBeds. It is the 100% natural Talalay 4 layer mattresses. The top most layer being a soft egg crate 2" piece of Talalay.  

I purchased the following configuration. On the left side of the bed I have a median top layer, firm middle layer, and extra firm bottom layer. On the right side the top layer is firm, the second layer is extra firm, and the bottom layer is extra firm.

I felt that this should give me an opportunity to switch the layers around and come up with the configuration that will work the best for my 6' 2"  210 pound frame. It has been quite a wrestling match, reading all the different descriptions that various people like, when it comes to firmness layers. You also run into this with some of the websites. No two people seem to consider this the same way. So I'm just going to have to experiment.

This is one of the main reasons that I went with FloBeds. They have the most liberal exchange policy coupled with a generous return policy. They definitely get more money than some of the other sites. But when you're purchasing something this expensive from the Internet, and cannot lay on it, feel it, look at it, and even smell it, it's good to have a situation where you can make corrections at a nominal expense. Given the fact that FloBeds has an excellent reputation with the BBB, and Dave and Dewey Turner are excellent people to do business with, it just seemed to make good sense to me to consider the extra cost as an insurance policy.

One last point I would like to make. I just realize that I have been misspelling FloBeds name. I had been misspelling it "FlowBeds." Wrong!    It is spelled FloBeds.com. I hope I have not misdirected anyone.

It will probably take about a week to get this bed in my home, set up, and slept on. When I have had an opportunity to do this I will be sure to post back and let you know what my experiences are, as I know how confusing this kind of a purchase can be.

Eagle2, Dave is so accomodating and this just shows how he tries his best to make each FloBed buyer comfortable.  Thanks for explaining how your blended latex was 3" but someone else that buys the blended latex will have a little bit more give in the cover due to the cores usually being 2.8" thick.

We are returning our high end Thempur-pedic tomrrow after 86 days of trying to get use to it.  I found it way to hot and I live in NH and keep the heat at 55 degrees, I can only imagine how it would be in the summer!  I also did not find it inviting, to hard and I woke up everytime I had to change positions and climb out of a hole.  My question is will I have the same type of experience with a Flobed?  Is it also like sitting on a rock?  Our last interspring mattress was terrible and prefer not to go back to one of those.  Please help!
