So far I have slept on my new FloBed for two nights, and it feels way firmer than I thought it would be. I have it configured with soft over medium over firm cores. I was advised that this is the best configuration because it gives me the most options if I want to adjust firmness. But I presume those options are for making it more firm, not less firm. Do you think I should consider exchanging the 2 firm pieces and 2 medium pieces for soft? Would that be way too soft? Would soft over soft over soft be bad for my back? If so, I wouldn't wanna get that for that reason alone. |
My experience was slightly different than Eagle's. I originally ordered F/XF/XF for my side, then decided it was too soft and exchanged my F layer for another XF to make XF/XF/XF on my side. Then, after a few weeks, I decided it was too hard, and I took hubby's F layer and put it on my side, and gave him my XF layer, so now I'm back to F/XF/XF. I thought I wanted firmer, but it turns out I didn't after all. Everyone is individual, and that's one of the reasons I like these mattresses with the zippered covers - we can adjust them until they are just right for us. |
My advice: order an exchange of two of your layers for two soft layers. It will take a few days for them to arrive, which gives you a few more days to evaluate your current configuration. But once those new layers arrive, don't return your original layers immediately - hold onto them for a week or two. Dave and Dewey encourage this, and perhaps they'd even tell you to keep them for longer. You have a split mattress with S/M/F + S/M/F now, right? With two more soft layers you can keep playing around with the softness until you find what you like. If you sleep alone (or have a very tolerant partner) you can try every combination ranging from S/S/S all the way up to M/F/F on one side. If you decide you like S/S/F, return the 2 Ms, or configure the two sides a bit differently if you prefer. Linda |
