Why does latex cause a severely aching back?

I have had some issues with finding the right bed.  I have tried various types of latex ILD's and while things feel great, after about 3.5 hours in bed I wake up in agony.  I think my body does not like latex but want to understand why this may be the case (I am not allergic to it)?  At this point I am considering a traditional box spring purchase from a local mattress manufacturer, ParkLane (in Portland, OR), but have never heard of them and am skeptical about their products.  I know they have a flippable, offset coil mattress.
Advice appreciated please.

My latex bed does not cause my back to ache despite the herniated disk I now have there from the car accident as well as the cervical herniated disks. It doesn't ache since I kept my bed very firm so I do not sink in much at all.
