Sue The polystyrene in your old pillows is the problem. I would no recommend buying another like that. Do look for one which is poly ethylene. They seem to be lifelong pillows. I have several, with no damaged centers. They are just as light as polystyrene, but don't shed crumbs or disintegrate.
Terrycloth toweling IS hard to stick pins into, as I also discovered long ago through experience. If you want a soft surface I would use quilt batting or felt. But do the pin test before you actually pay for it. See how it feels to stick a pin into it. If it offers resistance, select something else.
