Anyone have issues with Euroslat foundation?

We are on our second week of working with a Flobed and have tried several different configurations without getting a good night's sleep yet.  I am wondering if the Euroslat foundation is part of the problem.  It seems to transfer so much movement.  If my husband moves, it creates a wavelike feeling on my side.  Same thing if the cat jumps up anywhere on the bed.  Even if I am pretty still, it feels like when you are on the top floor of a skyscraper that is constantly in motion - imperceptible to some (e.g. my husband), but noticeable to others (e.g. me).  When I called (which I will do again after Labor Day), he said that latex doesn't really transfer movement - so I wonder if it is the foundation.  When I pulled off the convoluted topper - which I hate - it got a lot better, but I still notice it.  My daughter's bed doesn't have this wavelike feeling, but the bottom layer of hers is Dunlop.  I don't know if it is the Talalay, the topper, or the Euroslats that is the major problem but my lower back never seems to relax and I wake up sore.  Anyone else have an experience like this?

No experience here with your system.

Latex will trnasfer some motion but much much less than an innerspring mattress.  Should not be an issue.

I would try the mattress on the floor first to figure out what you are dealing with.

The sore lower back that does not relax suggests that you are sagging at the waist... not good.  If so, look to make that region of your mattress more firm... somehow.  You could also lay on your side and ask someone to assess the profile of your spine... are your hips sinking too much.
