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.

  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

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.   Check out this link to see the step by step setup for a FloBed:    http://www.whatsthebest-mattress.com/forum/flobed-set-up-step-step/4414-0-1.html
