We have a new Flobed that we're having a heck of a hard time getting right in terms of comfort.

My side is Super-Firm / X-Firm / Firm (bottom to top) over the fir slat foundation (tried the Euroslat and hated it, so thanks to Dave and Dewey for helping us with a conversion kit!).

We replaced the top convolute layer of latex previously (before changing the foundation) as 100% latex was too 'bouncy'.  Tried the 2'' of Sensus Memory Foam instead (inside the nice cotton case that encompasses the whole mattress). 

The bed feels nice and comfortable, but I CANNOT sleep on my stomach without lower back pain in the AM.  (Feels like my lower back is 'caving' in a bit when I lay on it).

So, I'm wondering - is 2'' of Sensus Memory Foam too much if it's underneath the cotton Flobed cover with a cotton filled, 'quilted' mattress pad (no idea what the ILD or actual thickness of this is as it varies across the surface of the pad) over it for stomach sleeping?

Would we be better off with either the Flobed latex convolute layer, or getting 1'' of memory foam (maybe from FBM)?  We could also take off the quilted cotton pad and replace it with a Protect-a-Bed (which we also have but don't like - it feels too much like a 'hospital bed' and is a bit scratchy and plasticky feeling underneath the sheets).

Thanks for any and all help..we just can't seem to find the 'right' firmness with this thing no matter what we try.

PS: I'm about 175 lbs and 5'10 and wife is around 105 and 5'4.
