Returning my Flobed
| I gave it a try but it just didn't work for me. The Flobed was too soft, even when I tried 3 super firm cores. It started out good but then the back aches came. It was a good test and the Flobed folks were very nice. It's just not the right bed for me. I contacted Flobed last week. They said I can return with no problems. I'm just awaiting their e-mail with instructions. For now, it is back to the memory foam bed. I sleep close to the sides because that is where it is the most firm. It seems like I've sort of worn out the rest of the bed over the past 2 1/2 years or so as it sinks too much and offers no back support. Thanks to everyone for all their wonderful support and comments. It seems like Flobeds is a good company and a good opiton for some - just not for me. I am very thankful I can return the bed and get most of my money back. |
Re: Returning my Flobed
| Bob-Not to worry. I returned a FloBed a few years ago and was annoyed by the 30 day credit policy too. It took the full 30 days, but I did receive the credit without having to call. |
Re: Returning my Flobed
| Thanks Cloud9 and princesspea. I'm sure you are both right. I had an e-mail from FloBed this evening saying they processed the $200 credit for the returned cores. I suspect I will end up waiting the full 30 days for the credit on the bed. I WILL call them if they are late. I did call them 2 times regarding the first set of cores I returned. On the 2nd set, I thought I'd try the e-mail route first. |
Re: Returning my Flobed
| I am thinking of buying a Flobed, but am concerned at how they stay in place when you toss and turn. I am looking at 3 layers of latex. What has been your experience? |
Re: Returning my Flobed

My latex cores (from FloBeds) never move around once the zippered cover is over the topper and my bed feels heavenly on my right side. That is my favorite side of the bed since I have the perfect combination of latex cores on that side that makes sleeping so comfortable for me. I also love my latex pillow that is not too soft or too firm and is in a standard size that I bought from Overstock.com. I also love the 10" legs that allow me to store clothes under my pine slat fox. that I covered with an ivory bed ruffle. This message was modified Apr 30, 2009 by Lynn2006

Lynn2006 is right. The cores do not move around at all. They stay in place very well You do not need to worry about the latex moving around. This message was modified Apr 30, 2009 by BobJ

Does the top softer layer also go within the mattress or does that have a separate cover and sits on top of the mattress like a pillow top. If the soft layer also is within the mattress, does this one stay in place, because it is lighter and thinner, 50mm |
Re: Returning my Flobed
| It is called a convoluted top. It does go inside the mattress and stays in place very well. Latex on top of latex just does not move around very easily. In fact, it takes some extra effort to lay the latex pieces properly because you can't simply slide them around.
