Why we love it:

  • naturally harvested latex
  • incredibly cooling
  • resistant to allergens, dust mites, mold, and bugs

We all need a little value occasionally. Splurging is nice, but can’t be done all the time (as much as we would like). If you want a solid latex pillow for a reasonable value, the Brooklyn is a great option. It’s Talalay latex but it isn’t shredded, making it firmer than other options (which some people love).

Why we love it:

  • great value
  • perfect for people who like a firm pillow
  • perforated design allows for maximum cooling

Eco-friendly option – Avocado Green Pillow – $89
