I've had my flobed for 31/2 years now. I absolutely loved it when I first bought it but over the years the "elasticity" has weakened and I now find I have severe lower back pain. Is this common for the latex to loose it's elasticity so quickly? I was under the impression I would have this bed for 20 years when I bought it. When I lay in the center of the bed (where neither my husband nor I sleep) it feels great on my lower back and there is still plenty of firmness to support my lower back. I tried to contact flobeds directly but their store isn't open yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I needed one Super Firm Latex core on each side of my bed for the best back support and I sleep well. I have now 5 herniated disks from a car accident and the bed is supportive to me since all my layers are either Super Firm or Extra Firm. 

Maybe FloBeds will let you exchange a latex core for a Super Firm latex core despite the time period that has elapsed.  Please keep us updated.
