My new FloBed - feeling way firmer than I thought it would be

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 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.

confusedbedbuyer: how did the last couple of nights on S/S/M work for you?
