Help Me Figure This Out, Please?

Before I call SleepEZ (maybe for nothing), I thought I'd ask here for help in figuring out if my bed is too soft or too hard, or what...

I have the SleepEZ Natural organic Talalay latex. Three 3" layers, soft, medium and firm. The only configuration that seems to cause no pain for side sleeping is F/S/M (with medium on top). Other configurations cause low to mid back pain. The second best is M/F/S (with soft on top), but still causes pain. Now, a few weeks ago, I tried this one and it was as almost as good as F/S/M, but not this time. I managed to sleep on my back most of last night, but with a fat pillow under my knees. But still, M/F/S is better than F/M/S

Now, I don't have a problem keeping the F/S/M configuration (the cover seemd a little droopy, but maybe I'm imagining that), but I can't figure out what makes this weird combination work for me and what makes the others not work. It's nice and bouncy. And it seems softer than the other configs, but how can that be?

The F/S/M which seemed so good before is now hurting my back. I know this sounds really dumb, but I still can't really tell if my problem is that it's too hard or too soft. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can tell?

Oh man oh man, the never ending quest/confusion of what suits one best! After spending so much money, so much time, so many people still have not gotten what configuration/mattresses/firmness levels suits them best for sleep!

So much disheartening.

I know, right? I feel a bit stupid for not knowing whether it's too hard or too soft. I want to say I'm just not getting proper support or something, but I also don't feel like I'm sinking in or anything, either. It's so odd!

Sorry to be the pessimist here, but this is exactly why I ended up returning my Flobed.  Many combos and no one, me included, could figure out what was wrong - too soft?, too firm? or what?.  In the end Flobed just said I was one of those people latex doesn't work for.  I sure hope it works out for you.
