Choosing between a 150×50 cm and a 160×50 cm dakimakura cover sounds like a small decision: the labels share a 50 cm width and differ by 10 cm in length. In practice, that difference matters most when you already own an inner pillow. A cover is made to go around a particular insert, so the artwork you love should come after the fit question. This guide gives you a direct way to make that choice without guessing from a product thumbnail or treating the longer option as an automatic upgrade.
The examples are two current One Piece cover listings at Dakimakura Store. Both the Roronoa Zoro and Trafalgar Law pages offer 150×50 cm and 160×50 cm in their size selectors. Those are the facts we can use; the right selection still depends on the inner pillow you have or intend to buy, the space where you will use it, and the exact options shown at checkout.
The difference is length, not listed width
On a size label, the first number describes the nominal length and the second the nominal width. A 150×50 cm cover is listed as 150 cm long and 50 cm wide. A 160×50 cm cover is listed as 160 cm long and 50 cm wide. The longer option adds 10 cm of listed length; the listed width remains 50 cm. This simple comparison is more useful than deciding from a photograph, because a product image is not a scale drawing.
| Question | 150×50 cm | 160×50 cm |
|---|---|---|
| Listed length | 150 cm | 160 cm |
| Listed width | 50 cm | 50 cm |
| Best first check | Do you have a 150×50 cm insert? | Do you have a 160×50 cm insert? |
| Space check | Mark out 150 cm where it will rest | Mark out 160 cm in the same place |
These figures are product labels, not a guarantee that every finished item or every filled insert measures exactly to the millimeter. The practical rule is to match the selected cover size to the listed size of a compatible inner pillow, then use your own measurements if you are pairing a new cover with an insert you already own.
If you own an inner pillow, start there
Read the insert’s order record or label if you have it. If you do not, lay the pillow flat and measure its relaxed length and width without squeezing the filling. Measuring while pulling the ends taut can give you a misleading number. Check both dimensions: the shared 50 cm width of these cover options does not rescue a mismatch in length, and a pillow that is much wider or narrower can affect how either cover sits.
For a more careful measurement routine, use the older body pillow measuring guide. If your insert is labeled 150×50 cm, the 150×50 cm cover option is the clear starting point. If it is labeled 160×50 cm, start with 160×50 cm. Do not plan to solve a 10 cm mismatch by forcing the zipper or stretching the fabric. Material flexibility is not a substitute for selecting the right nominal size.
When you are buying the insert and cover together, make the size selections in the same session. The store’s standard inner pillow listing includes both 150×50 cm and 160×50 cm among its dimension choices. Confirm the actual selection in your cart rather than relying on the product title alone. A cover product page and an inner pillow product page are separate items, even when their dimension choices match.
Use two real cover pages to compare the choices
The Roronoa Zoro cover listing currently shows 150×50 cm and 160×50 cm in one size selector, alongside other sizes. That means you can decide on the Zoro artwork first and then choose the size that matches your insert. The product also has a separate material selector, including Peach Skin, Natural Velvet, Smooth Knit, Two Way Tricot and Upgraded Two Way Tricot. Keep these as separate decisions: a material choice does not change the size you selected.
The Trafalgar Law cover listing presents the same two size choices. Its character artwork is different, but the fit question is the same: which nominal length matches the intended inner pillow? Comparing two pages that both offer the sizes helps you separate artwork preference from size compatibility. It also reminds you to read the current options on the exact design you plan to order; a category page alone cannot show every selectable detail.
You can browse more designs in the One Piece dakimakura category, but open each product page before assuming it has the same size or fabric options. Product selectors and configured prices can differ. Use the category to find artwork, and the individual listing to confirm what you can actually choose.
If you do not own an insert, plan the complete setup
Without an existing pillow to match, you have more freedom. Place a tape measure along the bed, sofa or display area where the pillow will normally rest. Mark 150 cm and then 160 cm, and look at the space each length occupies. Leave room for nearby furniture and for the way you get in and out of bed. The extra 10 cm may be irrelevant in a roomy setup and noticeable in a narrow one. You can make this decision without claiming that one size is universally more comfortable.
Next, decide whether the pillow is mainly for sleeping, lounging or display. A pillow that will be moved often may need to fit a particular storage spot. A pillow displayed against a headboard may need to clear shelves or other objects. This is a room-fit check, not a reason to buy the shorter size by default. If both lengths fit comfortably, let the available insert choices and your preferred setup settle the decision.
Finally, pair the selected cover with an insert sold in the same nominal dimensions. Put both product pages side by side, select the exact options and review the cart. If you prefer inches, the related dakimakura centimeter-to-inch guide explains rounded conversions. Keep the centimeter labels as the main comparison when matching a cover to an insert, because rounding can obscure a small difference.
A five-step decision before checkout
- Identify the insert: read its listed size or measure the pillow you already own.
- Check both numbers: confirm the intended cover’s length and width, not only the first number.
- Check the room: mark out both lengths in the place the pillow will actually be used.
- Open the exact artwork page: confirm the size choices on that product rather than assuming every cover in a series is configured alike.
- Review the cart: verify cover size, material, insert size if added, and the current configured price before placing the order.
If the cover and insert labels do not align, pause before ordering. A size selector is a compatibility decision, not a decorative extra. The goal is a setup you can use without pulling at the fabric or leaving an obvious length mismatch.
Frequently asked questions
Is 160×50 cm always better than 150×50 cm?
No. It is 10 cm longer on the listed dimensions, with the same listed width. The better choice is the one that matches your insert and fits your space.
Can I use a 150×50 cm cover on a 160×50 cm inner pillow?
Do not assume that mismatch will work. Start with a cover and insert carrying the same nominal dimensions, and do not force the closure to compensate for a length difference.
Will choosing a stretchier fabric make the wrong size fit?
Fabric options affect the material you receive, but the size selection remains separate. Choose the right nominal dimensions first, then compare the available fabrics on that product page.
Do both Zoro and Trafalgar Law listings offer these sizes?
Both pages showed 150×50 cm and 160×50 cm when researched for this guide. Check the live selectors again before checkout, since product options may change.
What if I only know my pillow size in inches?
Convert carefully, then compare with the store’s centimeter size labels. Because inch figures are commonly rounded, the original centimeter measurements are the clearest way to distinguish these two options.
