A 100 cm dakimakura and a 150 cm dakimakura are not simply small and large versions of the same setup. The common dimension pairs compared here—100 × 34 cm and 150 × 50 cm—differ in width as well as length. That changes how much room the pillow occupies and which cover and insert can be paired.
If you already own an inner pillow, start with its dimensions. If you are buying both parts for the first time, compare where you will use, move and store the complete pillow. This guide uses current product options as examples and helps you make that decision before choosing a fabric or adding a cover to your cart.
See the difference in both dimensions
The 150 × 50 cm option is 50 cm longer and 16 cm wider than 100 × 34 cm. In a flat planning rectangle, it has more than twice the area: 7,500 square centimetres compared with 3,400. That calculation describes the listed length and width, not the volume, thickness or exact shape of a filled pillow.
Think about the two choices in practical terms. The 100 cm setup uses less length on a bed, sofa or storage shelf. The 150 cm setup provides a longer surface for someone who prefers a longer pillow. Which feels more comfortable depends on the person and the place; a larger number is not automatically a better choice.
- 100 × 34 cm: the more compact of these two dimension pairs.
- 150 × 50 cm: longer and wider, requiring more room to handle and place.
- Both: require a cover and inner pillow with compatible dimensions and construction.
For a comparison closer to the compact end, the 100 cm versus 120 cm guide covers that intermediate choice. Here, the decision is whether a substantially longer setup is useful enough to justify the extra space.
If you own an insert, let it determine the cover size
A cover is only useful when it suits the pillow inside it. Find the existing insert’s size label or order details, then check both numbers rather than remembering only the length. A pillow described as “about 150 cm” can still be the wrong width or shape for the cover you want.
If the label is missing, remove the cover and measure the insert without stretching or compressing it to reach a desired number. The body pillow measurement guide explains how to check length, width and the effect of a filled shape. Compare the relaxed insert with the listing’s stated size, and ask about compatibility if the measurements are uncertain.
Do not select a 150 × 50 cm cover for a 100 × 34 cm insert merely because the artwork you like is available in the larger size. Conversely, do not expect a 100 × 34 cm cover to accommodate the longer, wider insert through stretching. Fabric flexibility helps a suitable cover settle; it does not resolve a clear size mismatch.
Check both sizes on an actual insert listing
The standard inner pillow with a dimension selector currently includes both 100 × 34 cm and 150 × 50 cm among its options. It also lists Polypropylene cotton and Down cotton as filling choices. The cover is a separate item, so note the exact insert dimension and filling you selected when comparing the rest of the setup.
A single product image cannot tell you how either selected size will feel in your room or whether a particular filling will suit you. Use the dimensions for planning and the current options for configuration. If construction is unusual—for example, a shaped cover or a cover with a special zipper arrangement—confirm that the inner pillow is designed for that construction as well.
Then check the exact cover artwork
The Kakashi Hatake cover, product code 211035, currently lists both sizes. It is sold as a cover; the inner pillow is purchased separately. Its material selector offers Peach Skin, Natural Velvet, Smooth Knit, Two Way Tricot and Upgraded Two Way Tricot.
This listing makes it possible to compare the same design at two size selections. It does not establish that every character or product offers both dimensions. Open the particular artwork you want, select the size and material, and confirm the configured total before making a comparison. If your preferred design lacks the size of your existing insert, check another listing or ask the store about available options instead of assuming a mismatch is acceptable.
A product preview is useful for identifying the artwork, but it should not be treated as a precise scale drawing of each configured size. The wider 150 cm option may show the same composition at a different physical scale. If a particular detail or placement is important, review the complete listing and clarify your question before ordering.
Plan the space around the whole pillow
Measure the place where the pillow will normally sit. Mark 100 × 34 cm and 150 × 50 cm with a tape measure or removable markers on a clean surface. Leave enough surrounding room to move bedding, open a drawer or walk past the area. The markers show a flat footprint; an actual filled pillow also has thickness and a rounded shape, so leave practical clearance rather than designing to the last centimetre.
Now consider what happens when the pillow is not in use. Where will it go while you change sheets, clean or have a guest? Can you carry the longer pillow through the relevant doorway and place it somewhere dry? A size that fits a bed during use can still be awkward if there is no convenient temporary place for it.
For a shared sleeping or sitting space, discuss the arrangement with the other person. The useful question is not which size sounds more impressive, but whether everyone has enough room for the routine they actually follow. The shorter option can be a sensible choice when easy movement matters; the longer option can be worthwhile when you have made room for it.
Compare complete configurations, not only starting prices
Write down the same components for both choices: cover size, cover material, insert size, insert filling and any optional extras. Select the matching dimension on each page and review the displayed totals. An optional accessory is a separate decision; select the appropriate “No” choice when you do not want one, and check the cart before checkout.
Compare the two configured setups at the same point in the ordering process. A starting price on a cover does not include every possible size or fabric, and a cover-only listing does not become a filled pillow at checkout. If you already own a compatible insert, include that fact in your budget rather than comparing your cover purchase with someone else’s complete set.
Care and storage also belong in the decision. A longer empty cover needs more room to handle while cleaning and drying. Follow the actual item’s care label and the store’s cover and insert care guidance. Select a fabric because its feel and care requirements suit your routine, not because you hope it will compensate for the wrong dimensions.
A quick decision for different starting points
- You own a 100 × 34 cm insert: begin by finding a cover that offers that exact size and suits its construction.
- You own a 150 × 50 cm insert: shortlist artwork available in that size and verify the cover details.
- You own neither: mark both footprints, decide where the pillow will be kept and compare complete configurations.
- You are buying for someone else: ask which insert they have or agree on a complete matched setup before choosing.
If neither size feels right, the store’s dakimakura cover collection is a starting point for exploring other artwork and selectable dimensions. Check the exact product menu, as available sizes can differ.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 150 cm dakimakura only longer than a 100 cm one?
Not in this comparison. The dimension pairs are 150 × 50 cm and 100 × 34 cm, so the larger option is also 16 cm wider. Compare both dimensions whenever you match a cover and insert.
Can I use one insert with both sizes?
Choose a cover that matches the actual insert dimensions and construction. These two size pairs differ substantially in both directions, so do not assume the same insert will fit both.
Does a character cover include an inner pillow?
The Kakashi listing discussed here identifies the product as a cover, with the inner pillow separate. Check the included items on your exact listing and in your cart.
Which size should I buy as a gift?
If the recipient already owns an insert, confirm its dimensions first. Otherwise, discuss the space available and whether you are buying a matched cover and inner pillow together. Avoid guessing from a generic “standard” label.
Choose the setup you have room to enjoy
Measure the insert you own, or plan the space for both components if you are starting from scratch. Check the selected artwork’s menu, compare matching configurations and review the cart. That sequence turns 100 cm versus 150 cm from a vague size preference into a choice based on your actual pillow and room.
