We recently got a similar OrganicTextiles brand pillow for our very young son through Amazon on sale for $30 for a standard size pillow. This is considerably cheaper than what we paid. The cover on this cheaper pillow is not quilted and is ultra thin jersey. And the pattern of holes on this cheaper one is very simple, not fancy, and perhaps ours is more "zoned". The cheaper one is also thinner which is better for him. Our pillows provide firm yet cushy support for lying on my back and side. We bought ours during Earthsake's once a year "friends and family" sale. I forget if the discounts are 20% off then? I will say that after 4 years of owning these pillows when I look inside the cover the latex is disintegrating but it doesn't affect their comfort. And after reading this article I have great peace of mind that our pillows and organic cotton, pure-grow wool, and natural rubber mattress are safe.
