About Core Products BowTie Cervical Support Pillow for Back & Side Sleep
The Core Products BowTie® Cervical Support Pillow FIB-210 is a full-size, fiber-filled sleeping pillow designed for people who want cervical support without a complicated sizing system, interchangeable inserts or molded-foam firmness choices.
Its distinctive bow-shaped profile creates a lower center area for back sleeping and wider side “wings” for side sleeping. The soft polyester fiber fill gives the BowTie a more traditional filled-pillow feel than our molded or precision-cut foam cervical pillows.

What Makes the BowTie Different?
The BowTie's main advantage is not adjustability. It is a simple two-position shape in a conventional fiber-filled construction.
| Design feature | What it means for the buyer |
|---|---|
| Fiber fill | Softer, more compressible feel than defined molded foam |
| Bow-shaped profile | Different support areas for back and side sleeping |
| Center position | Used beneath the neck for back sleeping |
| Side wings | Used when sleeping on the right or left side |
| One overall size | No Petite/Midsize/ Full sizing decision |
| No removable support inserts | Nothing inside the pillow needs to be swapped or configured |
| Standard-pillow dimensions | Functions more like a primary bed pillow than a compact travel support |
A Fiber Cervical Pillow Without a Complex Fit System
Many cervical pillows require several decisions before or after purchase.
The BowTie does not.
There is no
- Firm-versus-Gentle selector
- Petite/Midsize/Full sizing system
- Interchangeable foam core
- Larger-versus-smaller cervical roll
- Shoulder-width measurement
- Water or air adjustment
That makes it a useful starting point when the preference is fiber fill and a simple back/side sleeping layout, rather than maximum adjustability.
For shoppers who specifically want more sizing or firmness choices, compare the Tri-Core Cervical Support Pillow or Double Core Select Adjustable Cervical Pillow.
BowTie vs. Other Cervical Pillows
Our cervical pillows solve different fit problems. The most useful comparison is how the pillow creates support, not which one has the longest feature list.
| Balego pillow | Construction | Adjustment method | Sleep positions | Best reason to choose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BowTie Cervical Support Pillow | Polyester fiber | One fixed bow-shaped profile | Back + side | You want the simplest full-size fiber option |
| Tri-Core Cervical Support Pillow | Polyester fiber | 3 sizes + Firm/Gentle + 2 neck rolls | Back + side | You want fiber fill with substantially more fitting choice |
| Basic Support Foam Cervical Pillow | Polyurethane foam | Firm/Gentle + 2 cervical lobes | Primarily back | You want a defined foam contour and simple firmness selection |
| Double Core Select | Polyurethane foam | 4 interchangeable firmness inserts + 2 lobes | Primarily back | You want support firmness to remain adjustable after purchase |
| Therapeutica Cervical Pillow | Molded foam | Anatomical size + firmness | Back + side | You want measured fitting and dedicated sleeping zones |
BowTie vs. Tri-Core Cervical Support Pillow
These are the closest to our comparison because both are fiber-filled cervical pillows for back and side sleeping.
| Feature | BowTie | Tri-Core Cervical Support Pillow |
|---|---|---|
| Main material | Polyester fiber | Polyester fiber |
| Overall sizes | 1 | Full, Midsize, Petite |
| Firmness selection | No | Firm or Gentle on selected sizes |
| Back-sleep design | Center neck-support area | Recessed center + 2 cervical rolls |
| Side-sleep design | Right/left wings | Raised outer sleeping areas |
| Overall dimensions | 24" × 16" × 6" | Varies by selected size |
| Main reason to choose | Simpler purchasing and positioning | More control over overall size and support profile |
The decision is therefore less about fiber versus foam and more about simple versus adjustable.
Choose the BowTie when one uncomplicated fiber-filled design is the preference.
Choose the Tri-Core when overall pillow size, firmness, and cervical-roll height need to be separate choices.
BowTie vs. Basic Support Foam Pillow
The Basic Support Foam Cervical Pillow is a useful comparison when the real decision is fiber versus foam.
| Feature | BowTie | Basic Support Foam |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Polyester fiber | Precision-cut polyurethane foam |
| Primary positions | Back + side | Primarily back |
| Firmness choice | No | Firm or Gentle |
| Support geometry | Bow-shaped center and side wings | Two fixed cervical lobes |
| Overall dimensions | 24" × 16" × 6" | 22" × 14.5" × 4.625" |
| Feel | Compressible filled-pillow construction | Defined foam contour |
| Best fit | Wants a traditional fiber feel | Wants a more structured foam profile |
Choose the BowTie when fiber fill and side-sleeping capability are important.
Choose the Basic Support Pillow when a more defined foam contour and selectable firmness are more important.
BowTie vs. Therapeutica
The Therapeutica Orthopedic Cervical Pillow sits at the opposite end of our fit spectrum.
The BowTie has one overall configuration.
Therapeutica uses multiple anatomical sizes, separate back- and side-sleeping surfaces, and two firmness choices.
| BowTie | Therapeutica | |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Fiber fill | Molded foam |
| Size measurement required | No | Yes |
| Separate firmness choices | No | Original Firm or Lite |
| Dedicated back/side areas | Simple center + wings | Specialized molded zones |
| Main purchasing advantage | Simplicity | More individualized fit |
Choose BowTie when you do not want to measure for pillow size or configure a specialized foam system.
Choose Therapeutica when anatomical sizing is central to the purchase.
How to Position the BowTie Pillow
For back sleeping
Rest the neck over the center portion of the pillow.
For side sleeping
Move onto the right or left wing, depending on the side being used.
Core Products specifically describes the BowTie as intended for both back and side sleepers and uses the side bows as the side-sleeping support areas. (Core Products International, Inc.)
Does the BowTie Need a special pillowcase?
No, the BowTie fits inside a standard-size pillowcase, despite its distinctive contoured shape.
For additional cervical-support designs, browse our pillows assortment.
Materials and Care
The BowTie uses a 50% polyester / 50% cotton shell filled with 100% virgin polyester fiber. It is listed as 100% latex-free and made in the USA.
Core Products' current care instructions specify the following:
- Hand wash cold
- Use mild soap
- Do not use chlorine additives
- Dry flat
The pillow does not have a removable built-in cover, but it can be used inside a standard pillowcase.
What to Expect After Unpacking
the BowTie Pillow for shipping. The manufacturer states that it may take approximately 5–7 days to fully regain its intended shape and performance after being removed from compressed packaging.
That is useful information to include on the Balego page because a newly opened fiber pillow may initially look flatter than expected.
Which Cervical Pillow Should You Start With?
| If your priority is… | Start with… |
|---|---|
| Simple fiber pillow for back + side sleeping | BowTie Cervical Support Pillow |
| Fiber fill with size and firmness choices | Tri-Core Cervical Support Pillow |
| Simple foam support primarily for back sleeping | Basic Support Foam Cervical Pillow |
| Adjustable foam firmness after purchase | Double Core Select |
| Measurement-based molded back/side pillow | Therapeutica Cervical Pillow |
| Compact back-sleeping pillow for travel | AB Contour Cervical Pillow |
The BowTie's clearest place in our pillow assortment is simple, full-size fiber cervical support for people who alternate between back and side sleeping without wanting to configure a more complex orthopedic pillow.

FAQs
Is the BowTie Pillow made from memory foam?
No. The BowTie uses 100% virgin polyester fiberfill.
If you prefer a defined foam contour, compare our Basic Support Foam Cervical Pillow, Double Core Select, or Therapeutica Cervical Pillow.
Is the BowTie Pillow for back sleepers or side sleepers?
Both. For back sleeping, the neck rests over the center. For side sleeping, the user is on the right or left wing.
Is there a firm or gentle version?
No. FIB-210 is offered as one basic BowTie configuration.
If selectable fiber firmness is important, compare the Tri-Core Cervical Support Pillow, which we offer in Firm and Gentle configurations on selected sizes.
What size is the BowTie pillow?
It measures approximately 24 × 16 × 6 inches and weighs about 2.1 pounds.
Does it fit a standard pillowcase?
Yes. The BowTie can be used with a standard-size pillowcase.
Is it latex-free?
Yes, the BowTie Pillow is 100% latex-free.
Is a cervical support pillow the same thing as cervical traction?
No. A sleeping pillow passively supports the head and neck; it does not apply controlled traction force.
If a clinician has prescribed actual cervical traction, see the Saunders Cervical Home Traction Device and our separate Saunders Cervical Traction Setup, Angles & Safety Guide. That equipment has a completely different purpose and should not be treated as interchangeable with a sleeping pillow.
